<2021-12-07T22:25:27.000Z> TinTin: Hey super, I wrote an email on this but realized right after I sent it poast would be faster. I’m a big fan of the show and have deeply appreciated what you and Myles do. However I couldn’t disagree more with your characterization of Oliver Cromwell, it borders on slanderous of the man in my view. I would be happy to talk more about it here or come on the show to discuss it if you think it’d be a worthwhile and interesting topic 
<2021-12-09T00:44:18.000Z> SuperLutheran: What did we get wrong, specifically? A Cromwell episode might be a good idea (especially near Advent with his hand in banning Christmas in England)
<2021-12-10T01:27:48.000Z> TinTin: So obviously whether he's a psycopath is sort of a matter of opinion but I obviously disagree lol, but the "inviting the jews back into england" is something I'm 99% sure is a falsehood. I've seen it claimed in numerous places but the original claims come from catholics who hated Cromwell, and from jews who had something of an interest in spinning a myth about them coming back. Now, its not to say Cromwell was jwoke, but the specific claim that he invited/let jews back in is completely unsubstantiated 
<2021-12-10T01:29:24.000Z> TinTin: it supposedly comes from the 17th century version of like a conference on the jews that occured during his reign, in 1755/56, but contra the claims made no official decision was made. Moreover, there were jews claiming to be christian who were already into london finance before Cromwell, despite the older expulsion order
<2021-12-10T01:30:10.000Z> TinTin: finally I've seen nothing to indicate any serious rise in the number of jews from 1644 (when the civil war started) and when the Monarchy was restored (two years after Cromwell's death)
<2021-12-10T01:31:07.000Z> TinTin: I find it painful as well cause I think Cromwell and the Puritans provide a pretty useful example of exactly what White Christians should be doing to preserve our patrimony and not be kicked over despite those in power being hostile to us
<2021-12-10T01:33:53.000Z> TinTin: sorry, 1655/56 lol, mistyped it
<2021-12-10T03:32:45.000Z> SuperLutheran: Interdasting. I sent this off to Myles to see what he thinks and whether we should do an ep on it
<2021-12-16T15:24:11.000Z> TinTin: Thanks, Godspeed in your work
<2021-12-16T15:27:07.000Z> SuperLutheran: For the argument?
<2021-12-16T15:27:37.000Z> TinTin: lol I meant more your ministry, the hellthread is stupid lol
<2021-12-16T15:27:57.000Z> TinTin: I'm an idiot I just cant resist the urge to argue sometimes
<2021-12-17T18:18:54.000Z> SuperLutheran: Hey, you wanna be on the Godcast tonight?
<2021-12-17T18:21:35.000Z> SuperLutheran: We're thinkin Cromwell would be a great show topic for next Sunday
<2021-12-17T20:12:07.000Z> TinTin: uhhh maybe, depends on when, I'm at my grandparents place
<2021-12-17T20:14:15.000Z> TinTin: if you're recording later in the evening we can probably make it work tho
<2021-12-17T21:01:24.000Z> SuperLutheran: We usually start around 11 pm EST
<2021-12-17T21:02:09.000Z> SuperLutheran: I would send a link to the Cast chatroom if you're on a laptop, or else we'd be looking at another platform
<2021-12-17T21:33:23.000Z> TinTin: I’ll be on laptop and 11 works great 
<2021-12-17T22:11:16.000Z> SuperLutheran: Awesome. I'll send you a link a few minutes before
<2021-12-18T03:55:05.000Z> SuperLutheran: Myles is finishing dinner - soon fam
<2021-12-18T03:56:57.000Z> TinTin: cool no worries
<2021-12-18T03:58:55.000Z> SuperLutheran: tryca.st/guest/38I1UF
<2021-12-18T05:06:41.000Z> SuperLutheran: tryca.st/guest/7HB022
<2021-12-18T06:31:43.000Z> TinTin: Thanks again for having me, I had a blast and would love to come back some other time 
<2021-12-18T14:57:22.000Z> SuperLutheran: Any time dude! You did a great job :)
<2022-01-08T04:17:17.000Z> TinTin: Hey random question, I remember you briefly mentioning the kinists awhile back on the Godcast, what’s your take on why every major denomination explicitly condemns them? I can’t find anywhere where they are outside the bounds of general orthodoxy theologically and yet they’re castigated harder than rank apostates. Is it as simple as muh racism or is there something I’m missing? Thanks as always 
<2022-01-17T19:18:02.000Z> SuperLutheran: The problem is that the kinists make a solid case.
<2022-01-17T19:19:01.000Z> SuperLutheran: You'll notice that the most orthodox Biblical scholars all devolve into almost gnostic hermeneutics when they go on the attack against kinism, going out of their way to throw their exegetical skill in the trash.
<2022-01-17T19:19:06.000Z> SuperLutheran: Buuuut
<2022-01-17T19:19:24.000Z> SuperLutheran: It's not *every* denomination doing this, just the biggest ones.
<2022-01-17T19:20:29.000Z> SuperLutheran: I've noticed a general silence and permissiveness for it in fundie Baptist circles, and Lutherans generally don't talk about it. Maybe one official here or there might go against it, but it isn't discussed otherwise.
<2022-01-17T19:21:01.000Z> SuperLutheran: Also noticeable is that Eastern Orthodoxy isn't really vocal about it.
<2022-01-17T19:22:32.000Z> SuperLutheran: I'd say the condemnations you're seeing are parallel to the conservative movement in politics. Conservatives know that the dissident right has the facts on their side, but they also know it spells a whole lot of trouble if everyone on the right joined that movement - so they do their best to gatekeep.
<2022-01-17T19:24:14.000Z> SuperLutheran: So otherwise good exegetes suddenly become Biblically illiterate when they attack kinism (and always in bad faith), the same way Steven Crowder and Jordan Peterson suddenly become CRT experts and ask "what even IS white?" when the topic of Whites representing their own interests comes into play
<2022-01-17T19:25:00.000Z> SuperLutheran: Is it ugly for them to do this? Absolutely. Is it wicked and sinful? Yep. But I hope that they're corrected for this before it's too late.
<2022-01-17T19:26:18.000Z> TinTin: thanks again. Yeah I sort of suspected as much
<2022-01-17T19:27:51.000Z> SuperLutheran: The sad but encouraging thing is that Christ removes the lampstands of rebellious churches, per Revelation 2. If they continue down that path, there's no future for them. This means one of two things happens: either they repent and are made faithful, or they disappear and stop being a threat.
<2022-02-14T20:28:33.000Z> TinTin: Hey listened to the latest show about BANTS and if you want me that's a subject I'd be interested in discussing RE the larger dissident right and what we should be doing
<2022-02-14T21:05:24.000Z> SuperLutheran: Awesome, feel free to shoot Myles an email/dm
<2022-03-14T14:55:39.000Z> TinTin: hey got a question for ya 
<2022-03-14T15:03:41.000Z> TinTin: I've been dating this girl for about five months, at this point its pretty serious. I love her and we click together in a way that I definitely never have with anyone else I've ever met. But the thing is I'm a virgin, she's not. I have seen the stats on this and of course sorta redpill/manosphere stuff on it, and......idk, I'm worried I guess. I worry that after we're married she'll compare me against the others and I fear as I have absolutely no experience in this regard. 
<2022-03-14T15:04:22.000Z> TinTin: what do
<2022-03-14T17:43:20.000Z> SuperLutheran: Well, 
<2022-03-14T17:43:27.000Z> SuperLutheran: two questions.
<2022-03-14T17:43:36.000Z> SuperLutheran: On the wisdom side of it, what's her body count?
<2022-03-14T17:44:09.000Z> SuperLutheran: You mentioned statistics; those who have 1-3 before marriage are still able to pair bond. If she's got, like 200, then wisdom would say it's dangerous.
<2022-03-14T17:44:21.000Z> SuperLutheran: Second question; do you forgive her?
<2022-03-14T17:45:20.000Z> SuperLutheran: From 1 Thessalonians 4:
<2022-03-14T17:46:12.000Z> SuperLutheran: 3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification 2 that you abstain from sexual immorality; 4 that each one of you know how to control his own body 3 in holiness and honor, 5 not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God; 6 that no one transgress and wrong his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as we told you beforehand and solemnly warned you.
<2022-03-14T17:47:30.000Z> SuperLutheran: The fact of the matter is, fornication is a kind of theft: one takes purity away that a spouse ought to be able to enjoy, and robs a marriage of mature innocence which is not easy to recover.
<2022-03-14T17:48:14.000Z> SuperLutheran: Two people who fornicate have not just sinned against God: they have also sinned against each other and, potentially, sinned against the future spouses who will be involved later.
<2022-03-14T17:48:19.000Z> SuperLutheran: So...
<2022-03-14T17:48:48.000Z> SuperLutheran: are you willing to overlook her past and forgive her - without even needing to tell her that you do?
<2022-03-14T23:34:27.000Z> TinTin: well, as to the first question, I gather it was just once 
<2022-03-14T23:35:26.000Z> TinTin: also she admitted this to me not flippantly, but in apology. She actually did say she considered it a sin against her future husband and asked my forgiveness 
<2022-03-14T23:36:38.000Z> TinTin: and I forgave her then and there. That's not really the part that worries me. What worries me is I literally know nothing about this stuff and I greatly fear being inadequate or else being compared against her experiences with this other guy
<2022-03-14T23:37:15.000Z> TinTin: there is also the issue that this happened and she never told anyone, but as we both grew up very religious I understand that even if its not great
<2022-03-14T23:37:29.000Z> TinTin: do you kinda see what I'm asking here?
<2022-03-15T00:16:24.000Z> SuperLutheran: Yeah
<2022-03-15T00:16:49.000Z> SuperLutheran: So you're worried you're gonna suck in bed.
<2022-03-15T00:17:29.000Z> SuperLutheran: So here's a thing that makes marriage so great. If you guys establish a rapport and you're willing to talk about stuff in the bedroom, 
<2022-03-15T00:17:31.000Z> TinTin: yeah
<2022-03-15T00:18:05.000Z> SuperLutheran: Then you both get to know each other more and more until you're basically ruined for other people.
<2022-03-15T00:18:49.000Z> SuperLutheran: It's like any other skill: practice and talk about it until you're really good.
<2022-03-15T00:19:37.000Z> TinTin: it is?
<2022-03-15T00:19:52.000Z> SuperLutheran: It's good that she only screwed up once, tbh, because that means she's still gonna be able to get to know you the same way you'll get to know her 
<2022-03-15T00:20:19.000Z> SuperLutheran: Oh yeah. Don't let porn addled retards deceive you on this one.
<2022-03-15T00:21:08.000Z> TinTin: I dont know that absolutely but from what I gather it was once
<2022-03-15T00:21:35.000Z> SuperLutheran: Having a hard time lasting long enough for her? You can find an angle or tempo that works. Is she not turned on enough to be well lubricated? Find out what turns her on and take time with foreplay.
<2022-03-15T00:21:52.000Z> TinTin: the way she tells it he pressured her into it and she regretted it
<2022-03-15T00:22:05.000Z> TinTin: ok
<2022-03-15T00:22:42.000Z> SuperLutheran: Sorry for being a bit crass,
<2022-03-15T00:22:49.000Z> TinTin: that is good to hear. As I said, idk, hard to talk about but definitely a place I felt alot of fear
<2022-03-15T00:23:05.000Z> TinTin: no problem man
<2022-03-15T00:23:43.000Z> SuperLutheran: You're not alone in that man. Every guy out there feels a lot of pressure to "perform."
<2022-03-15T00:24:21.000Z> SuperLutheran: But if you're patient and have fun with the process, it'll turn out alright.
<2022-03-15T00:24:26.000Z> TinTin: well this actually helps alot because other than this she is a sweet provison from God 
<2022-03-15T00:25:35.000Z> SuperLutheran: Glad to hear it brother :)
<2022-03-15T00:26:01.000Z> TinTin: Thank you
<2022-03-15T00:26:50.000Z> TinTin: You and your mission are appreciated. God be with you, brother 
<2022-03-15T00:29:38.000Z> SuperLutheran: God be with you as well! You should be proud and grateful to our Lord for waiting like this!
<2022-06-07T17:14:05.000Z> TinTin: Hey Super, how would you answer guys like Ehrman when they say the gospels werent written by the apostles 
<2022-06-07T17:14:16.000Z> TinTin: that in fact, they cannot have been written by the apostles
<2022-06-07T17:16:04.000Z> SuperLutheran: By laughing in his face?
<2022-06-07T17:17:14.000Z> SuperLutheran: Guys like that try to have a textual basis for denying the Apostles wrote what they did, while entirely ignoring the Apostolic Fathers (the dudes who learned under the Apostles) and the Early Church Fathers- who learned under the Apostolic Fathers.
<2022-06-07T17:17:47.000Z> SuperLutheran: We have a bunch of dudes who said "yeah, St. John trained me," or "I learned at the feet of St. Paul.
<2022-06-07T17:18:14.000Z> TinTin: right but I'm led to believe there is some merit to what they're saying
<2022-06-07T17:18:43.000Z> SuperLutheran: And then we have a bunch of guys who said "Yep, Polycarp trained me, and he was trained by St. John, who Polycarp says wrote a Gospel and Revelation. 
<2022-06-07T17:18:55.000Z> TinTin: and the Christian dude who was arguing with this guy who was an Ehrman fan basically said it didnt matter if they were written by the disciples because the church was infalliable basically 
<2022-06-07T17:19:14.000Z> SuperLutheran: That's a retarded response
<2022-06-07T17:19:42.000Z> SuperLutheran: Either the Apostles actually wrote what they wrote, or you have a perfect multigenerational conspiracy to lie.
<2022-06-07T17:19:49.000Z> TinTin: yeah I was pretty deeply concerned lol
<2022-06-07T17:20:35.000Z> TinTin: so you would answer we have a direct line saying "No we know that John the son of Zebedee wrote the Gospel of John"
<2022-06-07T17:21:58.000Z> SuperLutheran: Yep. Nothing passes the sniff test otherwise. Tbh that's what guys like Ehrman can't really answer. Why would a bunch of dudes across hundreds of years lie about something, and get themselves killed by Romans for something they knew was a lie, when they could easily have said they had no clue who wrote Matthew or Mark 
<2022-06-07T17:22:07.000Z> TinTin: are there good books I can read on this? I know Clark wrote something on textual criticism 
<2022-06-07T17:22:40.000Z> SuperLutheran: I would honestly read from the actual early fathers themselves, namely Polycarp and Irene's
<2022-06-07T17:22:51.000Z> SuperLutheran: *Irene's
<2022-06-07T17:23:00.000Z> SuperLutheran: Dangit autocorrect
<2022-06-07T17:23:07.000Z> SuperLutheran: Irenaeus 
<2022-06-07T17:23:46.000Z> TinTin: Polycarp and Irenaeus, wilco
<2022-06-07T17:24:26.000Z> TinTin: thanks man
<2022-06-07T17:24:42.000Z> TinTin: I was gonna ask if you've ever covered on the podcast as well
<2022-06-07T17:25:09.000Z> TinTin: seems like it could be a valuably topic, I definitely hadn't thought about it enough cause I was kinda shaken by this guy
<2022-06-08T12:39:28.000Z> SuperLutheran: We've slammed ehrman before, but it might be worth it to take another look
<2022-10-31T20:54:08.000Z> TinTin: Hey super got another question for you if you'll indulge me
<2022-10-31T20:55:09.000Z> TinTin: my wedding night is fast approaching, and tbh I'm a little bit terrified. Literally never done anything like this before and not sure what my expectations should be
<2022-10-31T21:06:05.000Z> SuperLutheran: You're worried about the wedding night? Like, consummating the marriage?
<2022-10-31T21:08:48.000Z> SuperLutheran: To be honest man, if you go in with some sort of physical game plan, you'll miss out on the number one joy of it - actually discovering each other.
<2022-10-31T21:10:43.000Z> SuperLutheran: Take your time, have fun with each other, communicate, and there'll be so much less pressure. The expectation is that you two will consummate - and that's about it. Doesn't have to be some 6 hour porn-like romp fam.
<2022-10-31T21:38:14.000Z> TinTin: ok
<2022-10-31T21:39:25.000Z> TinTin: thank you
<2022-10-31T21:45:54.000Z> SuperLutheran: Happy to be of service!
<2022-10-31T21:46:06.000Z> SuperLutheran: How far until the wedding day?
<2022-11-01T00:34:04.000Z> TinTin: twenty days
<2022-11-01T19:48:54.000Z> SuperLutheran: Based.
