#biblical

Hi Everyone! Some of you know me from my account over on deacon.social and for some of you I am a new face. It is good to be here. After hearing from a number of followers on my last account that they would miss interacting with me I decided to remain on Mastodon and migrated my account today over here to the theres.life server. Many thanks to the @Big_Diggity@theres.life for so quickly approving my account here! For those who don't know me here's a brief intro. I am a Reformed pastor who has a long time love of church history, #liturgy , #missiology , and #biblical #theology ...and obviously #Jesus . Those loves have played an important role in my slowly drifting towards the Anglican Church. About five months ago my wife and I decided to take a leap of faith, leave ministry in the Reformed tradition, and finally make the transition into the #Anglican tradition. It has been a crazy journey, but a beautiful one for our family. And the bishop of our diocese has been incredibly generous in recognizing my previous call to ministry and is preparing me for #ordination to the transitional diaconate this October. (I will likely be sharing more about my journey into Anglican ministry in the upcoming weeks and months.) If you and I have not met before, please make sure to introduce yourself! I would love to make your acquaintance. And if you recognize me from over at deacon.social I look forward to reconnecting here! God bless each of you and keep you in his grace and peace. #introduction #NewHere

#RalphWaldoEmerson, the #transcendentalist #philosopher, delivered an address to the graduating class of #HarvardDivinitySchool on #ThisDayInHistory in 1838. He scandalized many #Harvard faculty and students by rejecting #Biblical miracles and saying #Jesus was only a great man.

@F3715H@rubber.social @snowpheonix@mastodon.social You entered into me attempting to educate an #evangelical because their use of #biblical text was off (wrong in more than one case), and misdirected. The fact that they have taken this path , makes it even worse.
