Do you think to be deep in history is to cease to be a Protestant? We’ve created a playlist of Protestant Timothy Kauffman interacting with Catholics and the church fathers. Come watch to get the other side. piped.video/playlist?list=PL…

My fiancée and I are going through a hard season. I had to quit my job to care for my grandmother, and both of our living and work situations are uncertain. We’re asking for prayers and support as we prepare for marriage in February. 🙏 Link for donation below:

A painting by Rembrandt cannot surpass an oil palette because it depends on the oil palette for its existence.
Catholicism cannot surpass Judaism for its claims because it depends on Judaism for its existence.

Trump is correct the rate of inflation is coming down but a recession is brewing and layoffs are beginning as the credit cycle rolls over. There will be a deflation scare soon. Doesn’t mean the high prices from the Biden administration go back to pre Covid. That ship has sailed.
WATCH: Tense moment as President Trump clashes with a journalist over inflation during a meeting with Hungary’s Orban. “Just answer the question”
Why are they always oblivious to this?

To highlight my recent posts, when you commit to Rome you commit to the church of today and whatever tomorrow brings. Yesterday it’s contradicting God on the death penalty. Today it’s overturning previous popes. Maybe one day they’ll Newman their way into LGBT acceptance.
“Never in the history of the Church has the magisterium said what this document says; instead, it basically states the ‘right opposite’ of what the Church Fathers and previous Popes have historically taught.”

“Protestantism cannot surpass Catholicism in its claims because it depends on it for its very existence. A stream can’t rise higher than its source; a derivative cannot exceed its principle.” 📽️ Watch Below👇
Imagine going to Rome right after they flipped on the death penalty. In the grand scheme of things, not a big issue. But it does demonstrate something. First, you are a slave to the current Magisterium no matter how obviously they contradict Scripture and their own history. No matter how smart you are, you must commit at least a little bit of intellectual suicide. Then once you’re committed to your new path, the mental gymnastics come in. “The reasoning of that council isn’t infallible but the conclusion is.” “Well even though God explicitly commanded the death penalty…” “That deuterocanoncial book that was canonized when people thought it was a historical book is really a work of pious fiction.” “A full fledged papacy wasn’t there from the beginning but it developed…” The warnings were there before these people made such dumb decisions.
As a former Protestant who completed my journey into the Catholic Church last month, I have a unique (and quickly fading) perspective on the Protestant worldview, how they view Catholicism, and what kinds of conversations might lead them to the fullness of the faith. I spent hundreds of hours evaluating the arguments on all sides. It became clear to me that the key debate is about sola scriptura. This is the “reason behind the reason” for much of what Protestants and Catholics disagree on. Pull on that thread, and Protestantism unravels—regardless of the denomination. Sola scriptura is key, but neither side talks about it. Protestant pastors don’t talk about it because it debunks itself upon close examination. Catholic pastors don’t talk about it because it’s not part of the faith. This combination of behaviors creates a chasm of silence surrounding the biggest barrier to Church unity. If nobody talks about sola scriptura, how can Christians be reunited? The future of Western civilization requires unity, and unity demands answers to this question. The only group that consistently talks about sola scriptura is Catholic converts, especially recent ones. We noticed the chasm, saw what was on the other side, and navigated through it. This is a journey that must be experienced to be fully appreciated. I wonder if there’s some way for Catholic converts to build a visible bridge between these two worlds. Think of it as a beacon in the distance, something everyone knows about, an invitation to talk. What might that look like? I’m looking for crazy ideas, including ones that may seem totally impractical. This could be the moonshot that saves Western civilization.

Glad to see more and more people are speaking against the ridiculous claim that the Scofield Bible was backed by the Jews. It is basically to the point that if someone says the Jews were behind the Scofield Bible you can cross them off as a serious thinker.
@grok Provide us an up to date list of oil companies that are currently priced below book value. Just simply list top 10 names in numerical order.

I was shocked when Merkel came out saying they signed the Minsk Agreement but actually have no intention of abiding by it. In my 40 years of dealing with politicians I have never seen anyone admit such a thing.

Rome's Sacramental System vs Sola Fide: the Case of the Missing Pronoun piped.video/IMLKmJ811dw
Baptism is by the spirit, not by man. But in Catholicism, you can’t be regenerated from original sin if your priest gets one word wrong. This is the same low view of the spirit that Anthony has.

Without a gold standard you cannot balance trade without a mechanism like tariffs. Under a gold standard money flows to the exporter, they get inflation. Importer gets deflation making their goods more competitive. Printing unlimited amounts of money prevents this natural mechanism from evening things out.
Tariffs have negatively impacted everything from the grocery prices to wage growth and much of the institutional right that long opposed tariffs now refuse to speak out against tariffs because they want a seat at Trump’s table. They stopped speaking against antisemitism because they thought that’d attract young men to them. And now they’re complicit in corrupting the right’s understanding of both economics and morality — so cutting off all the legs of the stool to own the left.
