TLDL for 🤔 guy:
1. The Formula of Concord doesn't come out and explicitly say "we affirm the Intuitu Fidei position on election and predestination." Nonetheless, their writings don't give us any room to conclude anything else. The Solid Declaration creates a structure that later Lutheran theologians flesh out as Intuitu Fidei, giving a title and conclusion that was somewhat lacking in the SD.
2. The Lutheran bodies that embrace unconditional election or "single predestination" are incorrect, but their error is understandable since there have been some major translation issues with the Formula ever since the 1851 Henkel edition and the bracket-loving Triglotta. Tappert did the world a great favor with his edition, which translates the FC in a way much more aligned with the theology of the Reformers that wrote it.

Good morning everyone!
When it comes to the topic of false alphas in the Church, we don't just relegate the title to the hair shirts and chest thumping of guys like Bob Thieme. Oh no, there's also the phenomenon of self-appointed teachers....like DJ Stewart.
Let's dive into the granddaddy of geocities theologians and why enthusiasm and rationalism are deadly.

Psychiatrists studying autism in children, screaming "STARE INTO MY EYES. HOLD IT....HOLD IT, KEEP STARING."
*30 seconds later*
"That one looked away and screamed, just like the others. Well then, yet another autistic child. I say, they can't hold eye contact for even half a minute, and they're bothered by certain auditory stimuli. Nurse, why do you suppose this diagnosis is getting more common?"

Israel may actually have the will to complete their bronze age scheme. We may consider the death of international law and its morality as a silver lining, I suppose.

"We don't build things anymore," the NRx guy says, "Where are all the monuments, the statues, the symbols of the era and high art for this age? We have none, for we lost our drive to do it."
My response to such overtures? Oh we still make stuff. Someone went to art school and mastered their craft, painstakingly advancing through each step of learning, to end up making these things. Whoever created the "bored black woman with cell phone" statue did so after years and years of learning, practicing, and honing their skills.
We still make stuff, it's just gay and spiteful now.

Monasticism is the attempt to have Christian dogma and gnostic praxis. It doesn't work in terms of faithfulness and not does proper dogma remain untainted, but the disciplined life of asceticism and the unearned reputation of holiness that monastics garnered made sure that the movement had staying power.

Researching autism for this week's Godcast has been a withering experience. The entire history of psychoanalysis for that particular condition is best understood as ad hoc murder and neoliberal identity concepts being applied at random

So I've condemned the "infertility cult." I've warned against the fertility cult. But what direction should married couples take if they aren't going to go for either of those options? Let's chat about it.

WE DELIBERATELY IMPORTED PEOPLE FROM TERRORISMLAND AND GAVE LENIENT SENTENCES TO TERRORISTS BUT NOW THE KIDS ALL WANNA BE TERRORISTS HOW COULD THIS HAVE HAPPENED

It's even worse than that.
Much, much worse. I'll cover it on the episode, but the history of research into autism is best likened to mad men throwing bags of kittens into a river and then telling people it's for understanding infant mortality.

The Bondage series continues!
Let's ask whether it's truly "Confessional" of Lutherans like myself to hold to Intuitu Fidei, especially when the Formula of Concord often sounds like it's saying something else.

It truly fascinates me how psychiatry, a retarded version of shamanic witchcraft, became accepted as a legitimate medium hard science on par with medicine.

"We are going to ethnically cleanse this area," said the Israeli minister, which raised fears of ethnic cleansing. Benjamin Netanyahu posted on his social media account "All of this land belongs to us and everyone that isn't us will either die or be deported," which some suggest is a dogwhistle to the Israeli far right.

The latest in the Evaluating Gnosticism series is now up!
And it's uncomfortable, because today we're comparing and contrasting the nag hammadi material with the "Desert Fathers."
