The thing I like about podcasts are when the podcaster both writes and acts. Once the podcaster is doing someone else's lines, it's like network news, which is still OK, it's just a different animal. (It's ... more corporate? Not in a terrible way, it doesn't have to be terrible anyway.)...

Peace be upon you and your household. Really what I meant to say here is that it's the philosophy, or theology of the Apostles, which Jesus taught them, we call them 'disciples' for what reason idk. They were His students. He was their Teacher, as is plain throughout the Gospel accounts, and...

The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? ... These people struggled with a metaphor. Then after Jesus answered them: Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it? ... From that...

Yeah right. And since He has spoken through the prophets, ofc His hermeneutic is true, and this is what all the Apostolic hermeneutic is too.

What do you think, that Paul just cherry picks proof texts? Come on. Be consistent. If you quote an excerpt of a prophecy, aren't you necessarily implying the whole prophecy? You can't just pick and choose, and so Paul is not just picking and choosing either. You're reading your own...

This is such an important point. In this example we get a Scriptural account of how Peter himself used c. Sola Scriptura to fill in the gaps left in detail by the Lord (similar to how later on we'll see the Bereans use c. Sola Scriptura, to "check on" the Apostle Paul). We see later on Peter...

Literally quoted by Paul, in Romans, to Gentiles.

That's literally Roman Catholicism. You ripped off Roman Catholicism. It's HIS priesthood!

He is very pleasant. I haven't found all the good ones yet, Coach Rippetoe is good, Zack Telander (that guy's amazing), Dr. Mike (not going to advertise Dr. Mike's surname, not because I'm racist, but because he's verbally raunchy, whereas someone like Telander, Rippetoe, and Mitchell Hooper...

Someone should just use Hugging Face and make a generative A.I. natural language model of the current database, then purge the stuff that's not good. You won't lose anything, it will all just be in the model now, it won't store all the posts, but it will store the model, and for TOL users like...

Madam, it's that his office opens a portal between Heaven and Earth, piercing the veil which hides and separates and distinguishes Heaven from Earth. Opening a portal between Heaven and Earth, piercing that veil, cannot be done by a man, no man has that power. So it's Christ, and it must be...

You might be right, and the Real Presence might be wrong, but under no circumstance am I even possibly undervaluing the symbolism, if I'm taking Him wooden literally. That's absolutely impossible, that doesn't make any sense. If anything because I, in your view, err, in believing in the the...

So you think Christ, seated at the right hand of the Father in Heaven rn, is there sitting on David's throne? You're saying David's ontological, literal throne rn is at the right hand of the Father, and Jesus is CURRENTLY sitting on David's throne? Because that's one of the main reasons Mid...

Quoting @Derf "Matthew 16:18 KJV — And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." And (this follows something else He just said) I say also (again, He's adding to something He's already told them)...

Jeremiah 33 In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land. 16 In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called...

Yes, I think that's the broadest point of Hebrews. That the Old has gone and the New has come, is the Catholic paradigm. But I think Mid Acts agrees with this anyway, Mid Acts takes Hebrews to be concerning the then (under Mid Acts) active New Covenant. (They believe it was put on hold, but...

I drove the Tesla.

Yes, again, that's what Roman Catholicism believes and teaches as well. Right, they are not sacerdotal, they don't preside over the offering of any physical sacrifice. But remember Romans 15:16, and also Romans 12:1, where offerings are mentioned. Offerings are offered by priests, in some...

And @Lon what I mean is that Roman Catholicism opens up the Psalms entirely to me as well, not just the New Testament. As I'm sure you know or remember, there's always a Psalm every Mass, but the real reason the Psalms are opened up is because we know to read them, whenever David is writing of...

It's also unsurprising under Catholicism. That's how theologies die, because they are shown to either be incoherent, or to explain far less than it appears to. === @Lon one of the things I love about Roman Catholicism is that I get to read the whole New Testament coherently. It's like the...
