2:28: Viewer asked Wagner question, "What is the proper interpretation of "no salvation outside the Church"? Wagner answers' "the way we get around this..I mean, not really get around this[...]the way we get around this...I said it again"
EENS deniers just can't help themselves :fryingpan:

Those sneakos keep playing with heresy, don't they? Keep them wolves out of the sheep's pen! :cowboy:

:fryingpan: People actually listen to these people? Why? :confused:

Wow, although I personally don't give a hoot what this guy says, these lay grifters are really playing with (literal hell)fire in spewing lie after lie.
I've exposed some of the same lying by BoD-tards here on CI, the ridiculous claim that the Church Fathers universally taught BoD and that it was the "constant and universal" teaching of the Church.
Wagner takes it to the next level by lying his ass off and therefore distorting defined Catholic dogma ... he needs to repent, but furthermore clowns like this should never be out there publicly teaching anything about the faith.
I've only gotten about 5 minutes in, but the man lies through his teeth that Torquemada taught that Florence meant the exact opposite of what he says, and the Dimond Brothers destroy this gratuitous assertion (pulled out of his posterior because it sounded good I suppose, and he could use this to deceive people) by providing about a half dozen actual citations from Torquemada where he states quite clearly that it's absolutely impossible for anyone in the sect of Mohammed to be saved. Of course that would stand to reason because the notion that infidels could be saved was first promoted about 50 years after his death based on the newly-invented Rewarder God theory, and until then absolutely nobody believed that infidels coudl be saved.

That was my first thought ... who really cares, but I think the Brothers did a service, since I'm sure there are many people out there being deceived by this guy, and maybe if they do a web search on him they run across this video that will expose this guy.

Yeah, that was beautiful ... where he said the quiet part out loud, admitting what we all know, that most EENS-deniers deliberately try to explain away EENS, and "get around" it, i.e. try to pretend they don't reject Catholic dogma by coming up with an "interpretation" of it that, even if it's the opposite of what the dogma appears to say, they can appease their own consciences by claiming that they assent to the dogma when they only pay lip service to it but merely interpret it as being the opposite of what it says. Wagner at least tacitly admits it would be Modernist to claim, as Rahner did, for instance that the Church's CURRENT interpretation of Florence means anything, so he at least realizes he needs to find evidence for the interpreation of the dogma AT THE TIME IT WAS DEFINED. So then he makes it up that all the theologians at the time had the Vatican II interpretation of Florence, citing only one by name, Torquemada, but turns out that both his "all the theologians" and his mention of Torquemada were both abject lies.
From time to time one of the dumber BoDers ends up exposing them.

What's most infuriating is the lies, and we've had a few trolls on here recently doing the same type of lying, and when you point out why what they're saying is false, they move on to another point, then another ... and then eventually circle back and restate their original lie (despite its having been exposed and corrected), hoping that enough time has passed and enough of a distraction created so that people will have forgotten the original refutation.
I'm just fed up with the lying, and I'm not standing for it anymore.
See, someone who's truly seeking the truth will look at evidence and let it lead where it leads. I too once believed in BoD and likewise believed that Trent taught it and that all the Church Fathers believed in it and taught it. But when I started to look at the question and began to ask, OK, so where are "ALL" these Church Fathers ... and could find next to none, and then spending some time on the question found that the majority of the Church Fathers who even talked about the issue explicitly rejected it, a couple implicitly rejected it, and only two actually believed in it, but of those two, the first (Augustine) floated it as admitted speculation in his youth but retracted it later as not Catholic (after having battled the Pelagians) and the second (Ambrose) explicitly denied it in another place, and then when you look at where he is said to promote it, the quote is taken out of context, and he lays out clearly that he believes what he hopes could have happened for Valentinian is that he was "washed but not crowned", i.e. remitted some punishment due to sin, even if he could not enter the Kingdom (which is what he teaches elsewhere, that even the best catechumen cannot enter the Kingdom if he hasn't been crowned).
There went the old "unanimous teaching of the Fathers" lie. That's what happens when you only seek the truth, and not some hidden agenda. I also then went and read Trent, in Latin, in context, and not the out of context mis-translated section, and realized that Trent had no intention of teaching BoD in that passage, and then found that post-Trent theologians made the same distinction that Father Feeney did, between justification (washing?) and salvation (crowning?)
But some people cling to BoD so that you won't be able to pull it from their cold dead hand ... for ulterior motives and agendas, and if one argument fails, they'll try to come up with another, then another, and so on and so forth.

I can't rule it out, but he definitely has a low-T babyface kind of look. He would do well to grow some facial hair. Not everyone is all that masculine without the facial hair, but nearly every man can look quite masculine WITH the facial hair. It can be similar with women. If women have their hair shaved off, many of them can look rather masculine, but then if their hair grows back out, they can look very feminine.

Wagner with Beard (using AI tool):
(https://i.ibb.co/M5gT3r97/wager-beard.jpg)
In the top one, he has baby-face, while in the second he looks like a mature man.
I've run into many clean-shaven men of whom I think that he really needs to try growing some facial hair. It can make all the difference in the world, turning someone who might otherwise appear effeminate into a more masculine and virile individual. It can also help change the perception of yourself ... just like how women should wear skirts and avoid short hair in order to look more feminine, and change their perception of themselves.
While the Western / Roman bishops and clergy tended to adopted the Roman custom where they considered beards to be indicative of "barbarians" (Latin word for beard is actually "barba"), uncivilized people, the Eastern clergy considered clean-shaven men to be effeminate, and I tend to side with the Eastern perspective on this. There's a reason that God had men naturally grow out facial hair.

Agree! The bearded pic is much better.
There are some exceptions. My Dad was military, had a U.S. Navy crewcut with the exception of about six weeks. I’ve only seen the pictures, but the mustache lasted I think a week. The fuller version made him look clownish. Mom told him to trim the sides back. He did so and it was uneven. So he trimmed the longer side and it became shorter than the other. On try number four, Mom said nothing, just gave him the nαzι salute. End of mustache!
One summer at our camp in New Hampshire, he just quit shaving altogether. His beard came in black, patches of gray, streaks of reddish brown, and one jowl white! Furthermore, it was scraggly. All he needed was a pair of overalls, a plaid flannel shirt, straw hat, hay seed for his mouth, a still!
He went back to work one day, shocked everyone he wanted to shock and at lunch, he went to the men’s locker room and shaved it all off.

Your Ai image also changes the nose, eyebrows, lips, ears, hair, and makes him less fat. It also gave him more eye wrinkles and stronger smile lines making him look older. His eye in the ai edit are also more hooded making him appear masculine. Some guys with a beard can look more gαy because of their other facials features/harmony.
He can be more masculine without a beard if he was LEAN. Because there could be bone structure hiding underneath all that fat.

Don't give him any ideas, he's probably one of the "new" members on here. :laugh1:

Yeah ... but very slightly. Gives you a pretty good idea, and I wasn't about to spent 30 minutes looking for the top AI tool for this out there ... but it's enough to give you an idea. I don't think that simply thinning out would suffice, though it migth help a bit, to remove some of that "baby fat" look, but it still wouldn't get him 10% of the way to where some facial hair would.

You're right, that there are exceptions. Some men can look just as masculine / virile without facial hair, but for the majority who don't, it's worth looking into. As I mentioned, some Eastern cultures would consider you a sissy if you didn't have a beard. Even when Western clergy would go to the East, they would grow out beards since they'd never be respected or taken seriously if they showed up there clean shaven. Some of it is cultural, but there's something there that's just God's design for nature also.
I'm not a fan of the moustaches for sure, but more the look in that AI.

LOL ... yeah, there have been a lot of these "new" members. One thing that's good, though, is that if we see him in two or three weeks starting to grow out facial hair, that means he was one of the new members LOL.

I once heard a phrase.
The difference between an attractive and unattractive person is millimetres. They are small changes but they also make him appear more masculine.
Really it depends on his bodfat %. You will be surprised just how much gets hidden when someone has a "strong" face but are even a little overweight. Of course if he doesn't have strong bone structure then a beard my be the way to go, if he can grow a good one.

If one doesn't have the bone structure and just general higher testosterone levels, you can go from baby fat to just skinny without ever hitting that masculine look along the way. There's much to be said for men to wear beards.
