I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that "children's church" (in which the kids are separated from corporate worship) is one of those cancerous idols of the prior generations that needs to be put down for good.
The world is broken. If economic and political activity has any role in improving it then such discourse must be tempered, informed, and objective.
So if X, Y, and Z aren't Protestants, then what is the difference between a Protestant and a Revivalist?
The Protestant Reformation movement was a response to folk religion and VERY SPECIFIC dogmatics maintained by the Roman See in the 16th Century. It was not originally intended to create separate traditions/churches (or even be a "movement" as we think of the term) but rather to…
1 year of casual posting and we've made quota. Thanks to all of y'all who find merit in my digital excrement. As I've previously promised upon reaching this milestone, I will be rolling out Protestant Catholic content creation before the end of the year. Stay tuned.
Faith Forms Culture. Those who place greater priority on ethnic identity over credal identity have left the path of wisdom.
My intention was not to dunk on anyone with this, nor was I saying that all these in this list are equal or believe the same things. Common factors are anti-catholic sacramentology/ecclesiology and an emphasis on individualistic, subjective personal experience. All else is a mix.
Baptists aren't Protestant. Pentecostals aren't Protestant. Seventh Day Adventists aren't Protestant. Jehovah's Witnesses aren't Protestant. Non-Denominationals aren't Protestant. Latter Day Saints aren't Protestant. Restorationists aren't Protestant. These are "Revivalists."
The state of reading comprehension is a problem, isn't it?

You really shouldn't center your piety and theology around the work of one theologian.
Trauma makes people stupid. This app has demonstrated how profoundly traumatized people are today—I think to an unprecedented degree in recent history. Or perhaps it is unprecedented to broadcast it? The hope is that if we can resolve the trauma then the stupid will subside.
Which was the greatest contributing factor to the foment of the Great Schism in 1054 AD? (There is a correct answer).
Another good take on the Perpetual Virginity discussion.
Why you’re wrong about perpetual virginity. Study: Matthew 27:56. Answer: why at the cross would St. Matthew refer to the Mother of God as “the mother of James and Joses”? Study John 19:25. How is the other Mary identified? Study Jn 19:26-27. Why would Jesus commend Mary to John?
When you walk into the living room and the Mrs. is cleaning the floor and listening to RC Sproul.
The Filioque was originally strongly opposed by Rome. It originated in the heavily Arian regions of Gallia and Iberia (France and Spain) as a deliberate refutation of Arianism and was only officially adopted by Rome after it was the de facto standard in the West. Amusingly, for…
It is incredibly challenging to have productive conversations pertaining to Church History and Historical Theology because folks have so much undiscerned anachronism baked into their mindset. At times it feels practically impossible to unravel folks from their false presumptions.
Okay, the Jesus' brothers topic is circulating again. Here are some brief notes to get your bearings and then what I believe is the best argument dealing with this issue: 1. This topic only matters because of concerns for the doctrine of perpetual virginity (of the Theotokos,…
