@CSLCHSnMore #HealthyFaithChat
Hi folks. There are three types of Universe.
- Marvel Universe
- DC Universe
- My Little Pony
@Stuartall1977 Ha ha ha! I didn’t realise it was so obvious (just done it again…!)
@CSLCHSnMore Chuck Norris does not join #HealthyFaithChat. #HealthyFaithChat joins Chuck Norris.
@Stuartall1977 Bristol, in the South West.
@Stuartall1977 The only problem you’ve got now is that Paul won’t recognise you when you meet again next year!
@Mikelo113 @Stuartall1977 @DRMSHPhD If theologians feel the need to keep finding new things to say, they are probably in the wrong business. A proper view of Adam’s sin is just as necessary as a proper view of the salvation that comes through Christ. Romans 5 states it so clearly.
@theBooneWeather @JesseDornfeld Of course… rank heresy to believe otherwise, if anyone was wondering!
@JesseDornfeld Is it even possible to be a Christian and not hold to the Trinity (asking for a friend!).
On a more serious note, I’m looking forward to reading this. The Trinity is hiding in plain sight, and it’s always nice to shine light on it and bring it to the front and centre.
This is very helpful. I see quite a number of people on Twitter who are sat in the ‘License’ camp, evangelising a position that abdicates man from any change of heart after conversion. If we are not different from the World we must question whether we are really saved. twitter.com/CreatedforaPur…
@StoneKamino @pinkfloyd I’d have driven the long way just to make sure I could enjoy it all before I got home. I’m a big fan of Pink Floyd, particularly pre-Dark Side, and live. youtu.be/jWB2xTubGLk
I’ll leave you with this tonight. My Favorite Things - John Coltrane with the amazing McCoy Tyner on piano. Goodnight.
@Carpet16100850 Thank you! I really appreciate you taking the time to read it and let me know what you thought! Reading the book begged a more thorough response than I could do on here. I’m glad you enjoyed it!

@BanksClan @ChrisannDawson @SterlingSpector @DPavlantos It could well be. I think there is more to this than first meets the eye. Particularly given the audience (Pharisees) that Luke was addressing.
@BanksClan @ChrisannDawson @SterlingSpector @DPavlantos Luke 15:21 “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
He did admit his error, but the father chose not to dwell on this, asking for his best robe - he covered him like God covered Adam and Eve.
@men_like_trees @KevinObie1 @DPavlantos So much to appreciate even in this apparently familiar story. #HealthyFaithChat
@DPavlantos A10. When I heard the story as a child I never understood the basic messsage, which is in retrospect an utter failure of the teachers at the time! We don’t get to hear about the older son and how he turned out. One hopes that the Holy Spirit worked on his heart #HealthyFaithChat
@DPavlantos @men_like_trees A6. He ran. Which would have been an extraordinary thing for an older man to do for his son in the ancient Middle East. It suggests humbleness, and meekness. Genuine forgiveness and absence of self. #HealthyFaithChat
@DPavlantos A4. When he was hungry, he ate with the pigs. When he was STARVING he came back to his father. There’s a lesson in there somewhere. #HealthyFaithChat
@men_like_trees @KevinObie1 @DPavlantos A2 I’ve never been a spendthrift but when I first got a job, and a credit card, I ran up a couple of thousand debt which I couldn’t shift on minimum payments. Then I met my wife. She hated debt, had me clear it in 6 months. Bread and water but it did the trick! #HealthyFaithChat
@backpewguy @KevinObie1 @DPavlantos Same here! How could I get this far through life and never realise! #HealthyFaithChat
@men_like_trees @DPavlantos And there was I thinking it was something more literal to do with being a ‘black sheep’. Sunday school, eh. #HealthyFaithChat
@KevinObie1 Phew.. only 7 hours late 🥸 Blame it on having been 2am UK time!
