which is Jewish priest class

@MatthewHeimbach - Not correct? By what standard?

this is the only puritan that is tolerable

@rhebner That's the point; so much of our western tradition doesn't line up with the "if it's not commanded it's forbidden" view

Though the truth is Jesus Christ was through Mary's mother Anna a direct descendant of Aaron himself

through Marys father Joahicm or Heli he is a direct descendant of David

@rhebner Christmas would have to be banned in the "Sola Scriptura" worldview

so would Birthdays

and New Years

and all the other pagan rituals

I'm keeping my Christmas and folkish traditions damnit

☦ ORTHODOXY OR DEATH ☦

lol

😂

@Haupstürmfuhrer Pepe - well....the essentials are clear & commanded. Non essentials....are just that.

Christianity wouldn't be what it is without its European character which is now engrained into it.

@☦Colton of Yore☦ - And you have the tail wagging the dog!

@rhebner What you don't realize is that in a historical context, Sola Scriptura means "if it's not commanded it's forbidden"

Keep the Judeo out of my Christianity and everything’s cool 😃

God bless you all.

@rhebner Thus, since drugs/porn aren't mentioned in the Bible, it's clearly okay to use them since there's no commandment against it.

Therein lies the issue.

@rhebner Much of our Western morality lies in extrabiblical theology

Church tradition answers our needs in a grounded way

this is why we have the Saints

@Haupstürmfuhrer Pepe - Sola sciptura - in the context of: Salvation by Christ alone, through faith alone, according to the scriptures alone.

@rhebner There's no issue with that.

In a historical context that's not all that it means though.

@Haupstürmfuhrer Pepe - Correct. That was the context.

@rhebner No, it's often been cited to claim that doctrine not explicitly stated in the bible is sinful.

That's not like, a thing though. The Scriptures tell us that there is a church with Sacraments

so

@Haupstürmfuhrer Pepe - Now regarding drugs/porn....the scriptures have plenty to say in principal - comparing scripture with scripture.
