    I thought Baptists followed scripture

    Unpacking Athanasius, he explains. “If we now consider the object of that faith which we Christians hold, and using it as a rule, apply ourselves, as the Apostle teaches to the reading of inspired Scripture. For Christ’s enemies, being ignorant of this object, have wandered from the way of...

    Hi. I'm a former Catholic and now non-denominational follower of Christ

    Correct, we agree. From our perspective it is testable however. “The Church received from the Apostles the tradition of giving Baptism even to infants. For the Apostles, to whom were committed the secrets of divine mysteries, knew that there is in everyone the innate stains of sins, which must...

    I thought Baptists followed scripture

    Disunity in interpretation is disunity in doctrine is disunity in fellowship. I have witnessed a church split and it is horrendous, lifelong friends and even family members at odds and turning their backs on each other. Women crying, men cold faced but resolute packing and ignoring eye contact...

    I thought Baptists followed scripture

    I see your point, but what I witness with my own eyes is Bible aloners separating to such an extent on doctrine that they call other Bible aloners unsaved. Where is the unity in Christ there? It is evident that physical segregation is the separation of the body of Christ, not unity in Christ...

    I thought Baptists followed scripture

    Interpretation determines doctrine, no unity in interpretation means no unity in doctrine. What made Luther’s Sola Scriptura so revolutionary was that it wasn’t taught before. And neither was his “ Faith alone “ idea. These were entirely new revolutionary ideas that the entire reformation was...

    I thought Baptists followed scripture

    If Bible alonism was monolithic and every Bible alone man was Lutheran on reading the Scriptures guided by The Holy Spirit, it would an open and shut case, game set match, see you in Church. That would be the powerful manifestation and testimony that God had inspired Luther’s new doctrine of...

    Hi. I'm a former Catholic and now non-denominational follower of Christ

    The New Testament documents are genuine first century, but your interpretations of them isn’t, they are 1500s onward human interpretations. Have the first century Scriptures and the first century interpretations of them and you will be fine. Which would you prefer, the Apostles interpretation...

    Will Jesus succeed at uniting all things to himself?

    Scripture can yield as many meanings as a man wants to see. This problem has exploded exponentially since the Bible alonism heresy was founded. Don’t like the idea of eternal torture in hell. Hey, just interpret that out of Scripture because it’s way too terrifying. Pick verses that state what...

    What it suggests is a fully managed centrally controlled economy, where wages are paid in daily subsistence rations. Either this will be the result of a miserable communist style takeover or, some great disaster will have taken place destroying food production worldwide and governments will be...

    Hi. I'm a former Catholic and now non-denominational follower of Christ

    So Bible alonism was breaking from the Apostles interpretation of Scripture to human interpretation of scripture, and human founded churches. John Smyth after leaving the Church of England decided that credo Baptism was to be his new doctrine, so pure human interpretation, pure human tradition...

    Hi. I'm a former Catholic and now non-denominational follower of Christ

    There is a great gulf of difference between the Apostles understanding of Scripture, and the many human understandings of scripture in Bible alonism. Catholics have simply held to the Apostles understanding of Scripture for 2000 years. Not like the thousands of human twisted interpretations of...

    And as for China’s leverage on rare earth minerals. We have a massive stockpiles of mined rare earth here, and mineral sands, people are excited by the processing plants opening up. Australia can provide the rare earth minerals America needs I think, we have huge mining and processing...

    Post diagnosis, solutions and remedies are the most important. The people that know the problem are a dime a dozen. Tariffs that rebalance trade and bring back industries are an excellent start. People cry Smoot Hawley when the US imposes tariffs but forget that countries imposing tariffs on...

    Sometimes it might be necessary to reframe. The Constitution was made for the people, not the people made for the Constitution. The Constitution not being set in stone Gospel gives the people latitude and the right to reframe. The first thing to remember is the founding fathers are dead...

    How was China prospering with massive tariffs on US goods for decades? The main reason for the tariffs is to bring back industries that have been lost, which is now happening. Trillions in investment are coming back to the United States bringing jobs and downflow. Secondly to balance terms of...

    The RINOs and Democrats were a uni party for a while. Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama eras were uni party big spenders. But is an aberration, fiscal responsibility has traditionally been a Republican trait, paying down Democrat debt when they get into office. Trump has repossessed the Republican...

    Trumps idea is using tariffs to pay down debt, and golden ticket citizenship. This is the only practical measures I’ve heard, apart from growing the pie and outgrowing the debt. Are there any other ideas being floated?
