Theology 101: Art and science are to God’s revelation through creation what exposition and exegesis are to God’s revelation in Scripture.
Theology 101: One of the greatest apologetic challenges in a post-Christian world is just getting unbelievers to imagine that the world could possibly be otherwise.
Theology 101: Believing in the inspiration and complete truthfulness of Scripture does not make me a fundamentalist. It makes me a classic Christian in agreement with the patristic, medieval, and Protestant churches on the nature and authority of Scripture.
I will follow along Dr🤗
Theology 101: If you think miracles ought to be proven scientifically, you understand neither science nor miracles.
Unless when you also side with him
No I was responding to the anti Trinitarian guy
Thank you for the thread about Augustine's War theory
Archaeologists Found a Skeleton Wearing an Amulet That May Change the History of Christianity. A 1.37-inch inscription could upend our understanding of the religion’s spread.
I haven't actually had a favourite 21st Century female Tsheologian, let me follow you and checkout your content
Renaissance's work represents what I'd call genuine theological scholarship—substantive engagement with incarnational questions that digital mediation raises, rather than the performative factional maneuvering that seems to dominate our discourse these days.
I can’t believe I even have to write this. But here I go. Why the Pope knows more about the theology of a “Just War,” than the likes of JD Vance and Kegsbreath. 🤦🏻‍♂️
It has to do with understanding the difference between “church theology,” and “Biblical Theology.” Yes, they are
Wow
Lies
Theology 101: The main reason for doing your own exegesis of a text in the original languages is not to come up with a final interpretation to end all discussion, but to equip yourself for critical discussion with other interpretations.
You and your namesake Micheal Heiser are my best Theologians currently
How would you differentiate Christianity from following Jesus? I think what we do, and this part pertains to our worldview, is to pick and choose the parts of Christianity that we like. We all have bad actors in our families, right, that we, well, maybe don't put them up front right away? But if we take the whole of the religion and we study it honestly, we understand that Christianity basically married empire with the Emperor Constantine and has never been able to separate itself from empire
ever since. So it doesn't mean that Christians can't follow Jesus, but I say it this way: you can be a Christian and follow Jesus, but it's very difficult.

(And therein lies many of our current problems IMO.)
This is a perfect picture. You dont see his eyes. It screams soulless evil. He recently converts to Catholicism in 2019 and now he is telling the POPE about theological ethics. He must be a quick study as he identified as atheist prior to converting. This man worships power and only the power of man
The question here isn't whether the Catholic church has a great history in the middle east, or whether papal infallibility applies here. It's whether JD Vance understands anything about the faith and culture he joined as a convert or whether he became a Catholic purely on ~vibes~.
America is full of churches where you can say Jesus loved guns, and wants you to be rich, and where you can pick fights with the pope! JD Vance was free to stick with any of those! But he *deliberately chose to convert to Catholicism*, a branch of Christianity in which none of those things are true!
The Evolution of the Trinitarian Doctrine
The Trinitarian doctrine developed over centuries to explain the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit's unity and divine essence amidst monotheism.
Thank you
Theology 101: “Confessional” scholars and “non-confessional” scholars differ only in that the former are actually honest and open about their presuppositions.
Theology 101: “There is one physician, both fleshly and spiritual, born and unborn, God in man, true life in death, both of Mary and of God, first subject to suffering and then free of suffering, Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Ignatius of Antioch, To the Ephesians 7.2, c. AD 110)
Hey, could someone up there please unplug the Matrix so we can all wake up?
Theology 101: "It is a human right, a privilege of nature, that every man should worship according to his own convictions." (Tertullian)
Theology 101: Without controversy, the burden of proof is on anyone who wants to make something other than the person and work of Christ the center of CHRISTian theology.
"...The demonic self-evelation of one nation over against all others in the name of her God or system of values produces the reaction from other nations in the name of their God.”
