lol what? What sort of insane logic is this?
Redeemed Zoomer frequently twists and butchers the Arian controversy because he thinks his position is the Athanasian one, thinking that the correct position is to keep attending the heretical church until they either excommunicate you or attempt to kill you. Prominent youtube pastors like Gavin Ortlund and Matthew Everhard have tried to point out to him that Athanasius actually fled the churches because of their heresies to instead worship correctly in the wilderness or in whatever houses people could spare. A modern equivalent some people have used is saying It's better to worship in sewers with the Orthodox than in beautiful heretical churches.
What a strange take. Why does he put so much stock in not being a “coward” anyways?
Again, he should finish his seminary if he hasn't already, get a few years under his belt being a pastor, then jump into the autism that is Apologetics, especially if he's trying to debate Catholics and Orthodox, who both have 2000+ years of works and apologetics by smarter men and better debaters than him.
That's something a sane person who doesn't fantasize about being St. Athanasius would do. A lot of people sadly have their dopamine receptors blown out by internet polemics rather than spending more time in prayer and scripture and reading the church fathers. I've been trying to spread the idea that people should wait until they're no longer a Catechumen before they decide to get into debates because it can show a person is serious, experienced and less likely to fall for something simple a more knowledgeable person would not have fallen for, and they're less likely to make their particular tradition look bad.
He needs a spiritual father to obey.
Unironically i think he falls into the jewish folly of focusing too much on the physical rather than the unseen. Genuinely i think a lot of what motivates this is for conservative-minded people in congregations to maintain "ownership" of the most aesthetically pleasing churches. He seems to feel a very strong resnonance with the aesthetic of churches, both seen in his choice of video topics which often mention it, and the fact that he has a christian minecraft server where people just build churches all day.
Nope, we are justified at the moment we have faith, not when the sanctification process is complete.
I did enjoy this vid about the Cruz/Carlson interview:
And my ability to actually do God's will needs even more improvement. I am His most spineless coward nigger.
Probably some coping mechanisms mixed with hopium. He thinks that the liberal/leftist element is weaker and you could outlast them. Not realising that when both the leadership and a plurality of the church has gone a certain direction you will not move it back.
