Isaiah 1 Come now, let us argue it out, says the LORD: If your sins are scarlet, will they become like snow? Will crimson red become like wool?

It came to a point where I had a Christ-loving 9 year old son, of which I made ZERO contributions to bring to the faith taming his tounge and caring for me, to get me to start openning my eyes.
Yes my 9yo evangelized me. Praise the Lord.

The key difference between Protestants and RC denominations (yes there are RC denominations) is that they agree on core interpretation, and have brotherly disagreement without anathematizing/cursing those that dont agree
Every Protestant believes their private interpretation of the Bible is βwhat the Bible says.β
Which is why you can put 10 Protestants in a room and hear all 10 say, βThe Bible says!β while contradicting one another about what the Bible says.
And yet each one confidently presents his own interpretation as though he has the authority to settle what Scripture means.
He doesnβt.
So when a Protestant tells you, βThe Bible says Catholicism is wrong,β what he is actually giving you is:
βMy interpretation of the Bible says Catholicism is wrong.β
That is the fundamental problem with Protestantism: it gives the individual the final say over the meaning of Scripture.
And the result after 500 years? Division. Fracturing. Thousands of competing denominations. Millions of little narcissists bending the Bible to their own opinions, accountable to no one.

Sometimes we can bend ourselves like a pretzel trying to disagree, and end up in agreement.
Almost at Sola Gratia, just a little bit more...
Interesting.
The Gospel preached by Christ and the Apostles, and preserved by the Catholic Church, teaches that salvation begins with God and His grace.
But Ryanβs gospel has salvation beginning with something man does: admitting something.
So which gospel is really centered on man?
Ryan preaches a false gospel and then gaslights his followers by accusing Catholics of doing exactly what his own theology does.

Six Battles a Man Must Win in Private:
1. His Eyes: What he looks at when nobody sees. Job 31:1
2. His Thoughts: What he allows to live in his mind. 2 Corinthians 10:5
3. His Appetites: What he refuses to deny. 1 Corinthians 9:27
4. His Pride: What he will not confess. Proverbs 28:13
5. His Anger: What he keeps rehearsing. Ephesians 4:26
6. His Prayer: Whether he seeks God before he acts. Luke 18:1
The man you are in secret is the man you really are.

Once we REST in Jesus, Paul continues in Romans8
...in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit
We live with the right kind of works of we REST in Him

The Bible is infallible, not primarily because it is some sort of vessel for divine knowledge
No
It is infallible because it is a natural deposit, like sediment at the bottom of water
It is the natural deposit of His Love

On Divine Sovereignty:
God passes logic through time
We pass time through logic
This is why pre-destination is not a good description. It forces The Timeless into a linear, human framework.
For Him:
Both ALL of possibility and ALL of reality has the same MINISCULE size.

We all have "A" Father that produces 2 trillion sperm over a lifetime and then, we can mulitply that by up to 12,000 possibly unique great grandfathers each -- we are a reality dwarfed by possibility

An evidential route to biblical authority does not presuppose the infallibility of Scripture; it attempts to derive or justify treating Scripture as authoritative on the basis of historical evidence about Jesus
βDerivable truthβ as preparatory, for arriving at sola scriptura
Before faith and adherence to ANY tradition, one can at least come to agree that if we want to know Jesus, we can start with the minimal facts, and then treat the Bible as infallible
*specifically about Jesus*

Explanation is not life (forcing myself to say, L1 ASD)
You can't ever explain why there is Someone to thank always, there just is
When I started to thank Him for suffering, that's when I got it, especially the type uncommon, and unique to myself that only I could whine about
Problem is you believe in an immaterial veil and a higher power that could take control at any moment but refuses.
You made the claim what used to be missed becoming harder to explain. What are these things that are harder and harder to explain.

We have Christians who are addicted to pornography and masturbation.
Yes, Christians.
People who attend church.
People who worship.
People who pray.
People who read the Bible.
People who serve in church.
And some of them are fighting this battle in secret, because they are too ashamed to tell anyone.
We need to stop pretending that every Christian has everything figured out.
Pornography and masturbation are not harmless habits. They can become strongholds that affect your mind, your desires, your relationships and your walk with God.
The Bible says:
βFlee fornication.β β 1 Corinthians 6:18
βWalk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.β β Galatians 5:16
βMake not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.β β Romans 13:14
If you are struggling with this, don't run away from God because you are ashamed. Run to God because you need His help.
Confess it.
Repent.
Cut off the things that keep feeding the habit.
Stop making provision for the flesh.
Seek accountability.
Renew your mind with the Word of God.
And keep walking with Christ.
Grace is not a licence to continue in sin. Grace teaches us to deny ungodliness and live righteously. β Titus 2:11β12
There is no victory in hiding.
Bring the battle into the light. Christ did not save you so that you could remain a slave to what He came to set you free from.
