Those who would point to weeping statues or leaking paintings or other such things and claim that upon such ‘grounds’ the veracity of a particular church or tradition can be established betray in their words their failure to recognize the heart of the Christian faith.

It is not such trifles or tricks that prove the truth of the Christian claims; rather, it is the ‘ordinary’ miracles that attend everyday life in the Christian churches. It is the miracle of regeneration and the miracle of the physical presence of the body and blood of our Lord that demonstrate the power of God.

Every child of God who can claim Baptizatus sum. is proof of God’s promised and abiding presence with His true Church on Earth. You can keep your supposed signs; I will cling to the ones established by God.

Let’s meet the Dispensationalists, Zionists, and other societal detritus halfway:

We will simply deport all of the Jews to ‘Israel’. If Jews are half as great as they claim, then America will suffer greatly after losing them.

If not, then we can revisit some things.

Jews: *lie about the resurrection of Christ*
Jews: *lie about child sacrifice*
Jews: *lie about circumcision practices*
Jews: *lie about Mary in the Talmud*
Jews: *lie about Christ in the Talmud*

Jews: ‘So, yeah, goyim… I mean, guys, those evil Germans totally murdered six million of US.’

Modern ‘Christians’: ‘Yes, that seems entirely believable.’

Believe me when I state categorically that not one of you has any idea of the depth of the sentiments I harbor for Islam.

Glauben Sie mir, wenn ich kategorisch feststelle, dass niemand von Ihnen auch nur ansatzweise die Tiefe der Gefühle und der Meinungen erahnt, die ich in mir gegen Islam trage.

To be clear: This is not the (fullness of the) appropriate response to such attacks.

The enemy and adversary pastors almost didn’t have to deal with Stone Choir.

God decided otherwise.

Many modern Christians argue for the Textus Receptus (TR) over the Nestle–Aland (Critical Edition, NA) out of ignorance. Often, textual criticism and higher criticism are conflated, but these are two very different things.

The men who gave their names (and much of their lives) to the production and maintenance of the NA were both faithful and dutiful Lutheran scholars. Here are their graves, infra. You may recognize that as a fig tree in the case of Dr. Nestle:

Micah 4:4 (ESV):
»but they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree,
and no one shall make them afraid,
for the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken.«

The Latin on Dr. Aland’s headstone reads:

‘Here he expects the Resurrection’

We would do well to pay better and more careful attention to the reality of these things instead of the histrionics of detractors.

An abusive husband is best handled by the elders of his church recognizing the problem and solving it without ever involving anyone else.

The now-penitent man can tell everyone he fell off a quad or something.

‘You can’t talk about using a woman, that’s sexist/objectifying/misogynist/[other word I heard in school but don’t understand].’

1. Women like it.
2. I’m paraphrasing God (e.g., Romans 1).
3. Go sit in the corner.
