Many problems with this, but I've addressed some of them already in earlier posts. The final point I'll make is that Leighton Flowers' primary defeater for the Real Presence would work just as well to prove Christ's Resurrection was only spiritual or metaphorical or symbolic, or that Christ is...

That has nothing at all to do with whether or not Arianism is anti-Biblical. You're not even addressing the question.

We didn't set this up. We just received from the Apostles. You'll have to take it up with them I guess.

But Paul does say, "I pray to God that ye do no evil" 2nd Corinthians 13:7, plus Colossians chapter 3, so it's not like Paul isn't concerned with our objective behaviors, it's one of his themes to care about what we do.

But why is it anti-Biblical? Because it's not because Arians don't prove Arianism from the Bible. It's something else that they fail. Not the Sola Scriptura test. Every single Arian, both historically and modern day (JWs), always use the Bible to prove Arianism. So if it's anti-Biblical...

Arianism is anti-Biblical then too.

You're a Seventh Day Adventist, no? idk, maybe. Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. 42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers...

It's a non-bloody re-presentation of the sacrifice. And it's ontologically real, because Paul calls the Christian altar, the table of the Lord, from 1st Corinthians 10, a real altar. And so do the earliest Christian writings, it's a real altar, and that means the sacrifice is real too, that's...

That's fair. And it's a good example of how Vincent of Lerins's test for Apostolicity would fare. Arianism is always presented as a branch of Christian theology which relies on the Scriptures, even modern Arians (JWs) always prove their claims with Scriptures. So according to Vincent...

lol. I was trying to show that Vincent's first test, of his four-part test, was basically Sola Scriptura. First, check Scripture. It's totally Berean. Then and only then, does he provide three more steps, each crucial, and so it's in no particular order, this is what was going through my...

"Wherever there is injustice, you will find us. Wherever there is suffering, we'll be there. Wherever liberty is threatened, you will find ..." The United States. That's basically the goal anyway in my mind, if we can afford it. Is there injustice, suffering, and threats to liberty rn in...

Everything except for Alaska and Hawaii I think. Pretty big. If David's throne is the whole World's crown, and not just and exclusively the crown of Israel alone, then the whole World would be the same as the land of Israel. What you're calling the land of Israel, and what is called the land...

They were scattered centuries earlier during the Assyrian and Babylonian captivities. The 10 lost tribes were scattered. Corinth, Rome, Antioch, Alexandria, they all had communities from Palestine and they all contributed to the initial fairly wide spread of the earliest Church. There were...

At the end of the day the Berean method of examining the Scriptures to see if what someone says is true (up to and including an Apostle), is the Protestant Reformation, Lutheran (not the denomination but the man), Calvinist (not the branch of Christian theology but the man), Evangelical Sola...

One reason, 1st Corinthians 1:23 “ But we preach Christ crucified ” Another is that an empty cross isn't actually the significant part, rather, it is the genre of art called "Pietà" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piet%C3%A0 It's Our Lady holding the lifeless body of Christ, which has been...

Depends whether you believe Christ sat on David's throne. Every early church was started in or around synagogues established by the scattered descendants of Abraham. Still though, where is David's throne rn? Not in Israel.

And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever. 14 I will be his...

The Last Supper was a Passover celebration, and He, being our Passover (1st Corinthians 5:7), instituted the New Covenant Passover celebration, the Eucharist, and, while the Old Passover was celebrated once per year, the New Covenant celebration of the Passover is done each Sunday ("And upon the...

Meaning Muslims for example can't licitly partake of the Eucharist, since they do not even believe that He died in the first place (the Quran says it was an illusion). Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is...
