  Happy St. Patrick's Day, or as the Baptists like to call it, "stop calling people saints that's too catholic >:(" Or as the Episcopalians like to call it, "happy indigenous paganism day" Or as the calvinists like to call it, "Perhaps-one-of-the-elect Patrick's Day" Or as the Eastern Orthodox like to call it, "Level 20 Hieromonk Patrikiodopolous of Moscow the Snake Caster (PBUH) Day of Fasting&quo...

  I expect that I might get a teensy amount of pushback from a claim I made on this one. I say that hermeticism is panentheistic, while platonism isn't. Someone might point out that NEOplatonism is panentheistic, since Plotinus taught that reality emanates from the monad - I concede that he really taught that! But Platonism proper, the stuff Socrates and Plato actually *taught* makes no such claims. The problem is, Plotinus didn't teach Platonism per se. Plotinus mixed a whole LOT...

  “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money. -Matthew 6:24 When I was in boot camp, there were a lot of times where the RDCs (recruit division commanders, Navy drill instructors) would mess with our heads. They would give us contradictory orders in order to make sure we had the force of will to make tough decisions and not crack under stress. You could be standing watch...

  The latest Sex&Marriage is now up! So this morning I said that we must put God first in all things. How do we model that for others in the secular sphere?

  “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? -Matthew 6:25 Christ has told us that you cannot serve God and money. This is to say, you must choose whether you will put God first in all things and make Him your chief priority...or you will choose something else in His stead, something that will not save. Now He discusses a chief source of...

  Atheist arguments most often boil down to "hey Christians, if your God exists then why do I hate Him so much?"

  Periodic reminder that dragons are bad and you can judge a culture by whether their legendary heroes slayed dragons (Christian) or worshiped them (devil slop). If you think dragons are cool, look man I don't make the rules - God did with Revelation 12

  26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? 28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which t...

  9 Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. 10 Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread, 12 and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For yours is the Kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen. 14 For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, 1...

  Charlie Bronson defies everything the "looksmaxxing" crowd believes about gender relations. He looks like Wario, rarely bathes, is covered in unsightly body hair, has no money and is also in prison for life. In spite of this he's managed to woo a woman to marriage three separate times and has a kid. Meanwhile the guy who's doing TRT at 16 and wearing makeup to cover the bruises from "bone smashing" complains that girls still don't want him. Seems to me that Go...

  31 “It was also said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ 32 But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery. -Matthew 5:31-32 Marriage is supposed to be for life, and 99% of the time there is no excuse for breaking that marriage asunder. The reasons for Christ's words are found in Malachi 2:14-15, where the prophet makes i...

  “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. -Matthew 5:9 If you are not part of God's family, then by no means will you be saved. This is to say, you must be *adopted* into His family. This does not happen by our own efforts, but by our spiritual poverty - that is, to receive our membership in the Kingdom of Heaven by grace alone. But how shall we know that a man is part of God's family? Hearing someone pay lip service to doctrinal platitudes is not suf...
