@ButtWorldsMan These are so good. Never stop bringing them over here to share.
@Tfmonkey Hey man, thanks for the reminder to put to "cautious" into Cautiously Optimistic concerning Code27. I say ALL THE TIME to people, "Never get 'Version 1' of anything," and I let my excitement for this blind me to my own advice. I'm probably going to still not take my own advice, but maaaaan, you know how it is.
Anyway, thank you for sobering me up a bit so I don't just go in blind!
@Furgar Ah, thanks!
@Furgar I'm 12 and what is this?
@KingOfWhiteAmerica @DoubleD @N_Y_SparkyOxCable @RegalBeagle @UncleIroh That's great, man. Thank you.
@N_Y_SparkyOxCable I've never heard us called "Short Season Bros." before. Doesn't quite have the same ring to it as other theological beliefs, but I like it. But the shortened "S.S." Bros might mean something different (especially to Jew-lovers).
@N_Y_SparkyOxCable @KingOfWhiteAmerica Yes. I always had considered preterist ideas myself even before I knew what it was called. Thanks to YouTube blowing up and things like TikTok, we can all communicate easily about theories, discoveries, and research.
But yes, I think I'm landing on Short Season eschatology as the most likely. I'm glad to see dispensationalism and futurists called out lately. They're running out of time for their belief to be possible. We'll see when the last Boomer dies.
@KingOfWhiteAmerica Thanks for the help, brother. Like the heart of my pastor, I'm really trying to just be part of the solution instead of causing more trouble to people around me from what many Christians in the past have done. I wish you well.
@KingOfWhiteAmerica I think (I know) I struggle with submitting to leadership when I believe they're wrong. Whether I'm in Orthodoxy or Protestantism, I need to learn better humility. But I'm likely better able to hold these different, "crazy" beliefs without problem in my current Non-denominational Protestant church.
@KingOfWhiteAmerica I believe Christ literally did return (at least one more visit is coming), as He told his disciples, in many of their lifetimes. Just like the Jews expected the Messiah would come and physically deliver them at his one-and-only visit, they were mistaken about the timeline of events. I believe we, too, will find ourselves mistaken about quite a bit in how we understood prophecy.
@KingOfWhiteAmerica From whay you said before, I wouldn't have a problem with that creed. I believe Christ will return for the judgement and the God and Magog battle. I believe Armaggedon has already happened, along with the "Tribulation" and Beast, and a literal 1,000-year reign. So I maybe would interpret what the creed is saying differently, not sure. Obviously I believe in the resurrection of the dead, in an eternal kingdom, etc.
@KingOfWhiteAmerica So, great example you brought up, so let's use that: preterism --if I were a partial preterist, would most "jurisdictions" say I had to renounce it? Or just not teach it? How would that work? Would they go as far as to call me heretical?
@KingOfWhiteAmerica Hey, I see you're Orthodox. Does that mean Eastern Orthodoxy? I have some questions you may have the answer to, either way. Are they futurist / dispensationalists? If I had a different eschatological perspective than what the church teaches, I would not really be accepted, right? I heard that they even somewhat distanced themselves from Eastern Orthodox people who use different calendars.
@sardonicsmile Dumb bitch. "Man keeps himself safe and is polite and doesn't even allow the slightest bit of even the appearance of even a possibility of anything improper. Women most affected."
Man, it's a beautiful day outside here. I spent most of the morning until now reformatting and transposing songs on a laptop out on the patio. Coffee, bacon, an egg-and-cheese sandwich, a tall glass of water . . . and now I'm going to vacuum my car.
I wish you all a great weekend and I hope to see y'all on the TFM show tonight for a bit.
I don't know shit. Don't listen to me.
