We need to study how the Assyrians managed to enjoy such a commanding size and influence at one stage of their history without establishment, and combine it with the realities of low church Evangelical spirituality in an environment without civic supports.

@PerfInjust This has been ironically called the Reagan strategy where the US bankrupted the USSR by forcing the latter to commit more and more of its resources to military ends. China today likely has a similar strategy for the US: get it to commit astronomical resources for war and go bust.

Such an assumption simply wouldn't be possible in Chrysostom's time, and as Christendom declines, it will become increasingly impossible in our time also, notwithstanding the fact that it fallaciously depends on a might is right reasoning anyway.

But of course this reputation is based on nothing else, at bottom, of a sort of might is right reasoning that our church is super big and important enough to dominate the term "Church", ergo you can just assume we are "the Church".

@DeVeritate1 Setting aside the point that Vatican I disagrees, if you want to raise an epistemic point that solution would just lead to an infinite regress, then you need someone else who can speak with authority on the part of God to tell you who can speak with authority on the part of God.

The reason why liberalism got established today is bcos liberals have activist spirit and are willing to jump on juries to convict white men, while the right try to evade jury duty, they also are willing to swarm into other civic roles, while the right just lazily want to grill.

We are precisely in the dissolving the monasteries and purging the clergy moment to reform England, and the Western world's academic and civic institutions infested with liberals.

@egypt2_canaan “The devil causes heresy to routinely spread within the church, which is a sign of our holiness. We need more councils!” is literally just a tried and true Roman Papist argument. Incredible to see EOs resorting to it against OOs.

Davenant Trust types like Richard Hooker, who comes in to conserve the achievements of the Protestant state built by *other* men. While it is easier to read and learn from Thomas Cranmer, but the true architect of thr Protestant state was the other Thomas, Thomas Cromwell.

Every Reformation needs an earthly Henry VIII chud, a spiritual Archbishop Cranmer to provide the ideological framework, and a machievellian Thomas Cromwell to navigate the system & prosecute the program. Conservativism has too many chuds, some Cranmers, but not enough Cromwells.

Simply agree, OF COURSE the Churhc is infallible and the Church gave us the Bible. Heck, even OF COURSE the pope is infallible or that we must adhere to the apostolic tradition. Then use their fine print, but it is only infallible when they teach rightly from the Scriptures,
