Irvingite Puns

Irvingism is/was a movement within Evangelical Protestant Christianity that emerged in the 19th Century and somewhat related to the Plymouth Brethren. They both have similar roots and a premillennial eschatology, but unlike the OB, the Irvingites tend to be high church and liturgical.

One of the churches within this movement was the Catholic Apostolic Church. It was pretty much in line with mainstream Protestant theology except for its aforementioned premillennialism and a Pentecostal/Charismatic view of the Holy Spirit and spiritual gifts. They claimed Apostolic succession based on being chosen by the Holy Spirit and a group of Apostles serve as the highest authority within the Church and believed they were returning the Christian faith back to its roots. They were high church and liturgical, rivaling the Roman Catholics and Eastern Orhodox. They were paedobaptists and accepted the Reformed view of the Real Prescence of Christ within the Bread and Wine. The denomination is mostly dead, but a couple of offshoots have emerged from it, such as the New Apostolic Church.

The MAC has a lot in common with their predecessor denomination, but deviate from traditional Protestant theology in that they accept the Apocrypha as on equal footing with the rest of the Bible, pray for the dead, and believe the Apostles have the power to forgive and withhold forgiveness, and believers are depending upon the Apostles for forgiveness by God. They take spiritual gifts a little farther in that they believe that prophecies have not ceased and still occur to this day.

What are your thoughts on these churches?

Do your worst!

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

Pilot on me!!

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.

Me grabbing a soda from my (what I thought was) half full 12pk...

Notices there's only 2;

Me: "Awe man... This is a damn bird box!" Her: "What the hell does that mean?!" Me: (Pulls both cans out & shows them to her) "It's only got Toucans."

I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.

I was just sitting there doing nothing.
