We cannot choose only signs (apophaticism) or only significance (Charismatic). We need proper signs for the proper significance.— Sᴜɴʀɪsᴇ Oᴀᴛʜ 十 Tʜᴇ Sʏʟʟᴀʙᴜꜱ (ORI) - CC0 (@sunriseoath) February 19, 2025

It is so important to spirituality to realize that God is speaking, but we are not yet in a place to fully understand and can only get there by his renewal of our senses and his condescension in communication (most of all through the incarnation).— Sᴜɴʀɪsᴇ Oᴀᴛʜ 十 Tʜᴇ Sʏʟʟᴀʙᴜꜱ (ORI) - CC0 (@sunriseoath) October 13, 2026

It is because we are not perfect that we are best off giving the benefit of the doubt and engaging in the usual cultural Christian niceties which give each other some wiggle room. But we should never forget that this is about letting God act, not about moralizing to God.— Sᴜɴʀɪsᴇ Oᴀᴛʜ 十 Tʜᴇ Sʏʟʟᴀʙᴜꜱ (ORI) - CC0 (@sunriseoath) October 13, 2026

Putting it another way, Chinese people are all very gungho about getting into an overcrowded idol's temple, while Westerners are lazy getting up for church service.— Sᴜɴʀɪsᴇ Oᴀᴛʜ 十 Tʜᴇ Sʏʟʟᴀʙᴜꜱ (ORI) - CC0 (@sunriseoath) October 12, 2026

As a twenty-year-old heathen, I was more than happy to speak like a supervillain, but had a very strong sense of what is effectively cosmic justice. I only understood later that anyone above a certain age who finds this charming is deeply dysfunctional.— Sᴜɴʀɪsᴇ Oᴀᴛʜ 十 Tʜᴇ Sʏʟʟᴀʙᴜꜱ (ORI) - CC0 (@sunriseoath) October 9, 2026

To be clear, this does not give a free pass to those who complain about scholasticism in the context of classical Trinitarian theology, or those who believe that true faith is marked by anti-intellectualism or uncreativity.— Sᴜɴʀɪsᴇ Oᴀᴛʜ 十 Tʜᴇ Sʏʟʟᴀʙᴜꜱ (ORI) - CC0 (@sunriseoath) September 15, 2026

Christians need the knowledge that Christ is the map of God that we can know and that we must read it by the Holy Spirit, to prevent certain idolatry.— Sᴜɴʀɪsᴇ Oᴀᴛʜ 十 Tʜᴇ Sʏʟʟᴀʙᴜꜱ (ORI) - CC0 (@sunriseoath) February 19, 2025

Libertarianism as a worldview rather than as a tool *always* leads to Satanism. It chooses and worships Caesar, and honestly a really dumb one.— Sᴜɴʀɪsᴇ Oᴀᴛʜ 十 Tʜᴇ Sʏʟʟᴀʙᴜꜱ (ORI) - CC0 (@sunriseoath) October 9, 2026

The worldview of Shakespeare is revealed through the invisible author judging the characters. The characters can be dynamic and contradict each other because there is an arbiter that chooses between these characters.— Sᴜɴʀɪsᴇ Oᴀᴛʜ 十 Tʜᴇ Sʏʟʟᴀʙᴜꜱ (ORI) - CC0 (@sunriseoath) August 12, 2026

Virtue signaling (LARPing as a good guy) is bad (since it erodes the visible signs of virtue and tries to shortcut genuine spiritual development), but it is way better than vice signaling since at least you are pointing to the right thing.

Westerners like talking about Chinese underground churches, but from what I can tell their overall catechism is at least as bad for laity here and is combined with a broader culture that at the end of the day does not care for even the semblance of logical debate.— Sᴜɴʀɪsᴇ Oᴀᴛʜ 十 Tʜᴇ Sʏʟʟᴀʙᴜꜱ (ORI) - CC0 (@sunriseoath) October 12, 2026

There is a type of cultural Christianity that can be everyone's friend, but that definitely is not the cultural Christianity we have today.

The perfect society would be one that has extremely low time preference (caring about temporalities mostly for practical risk of ruin reasons), a strong sense of realism tempered by true epistemic humility, a clear eye toward victory, and a loose hold on categories.— Sᴜɴʀɪsᴇ Oᴀᴛʜ 十 Tʜᴇ Sʏʟʟᴀʙᴜꜱ (ORI) - CC0 (@sunriseoath) October 12, 2026
