Fisking a Turnip Part 2: Mahler, Dante, and the Lake of Fire
Our re-posting of Twitter user (((RedeemedUberYude))) fisking Ryan Turnipseed’s attacks on the LCMS continues. Today will be a two-fer.

Having defied God's teaching about sin AND urinated on Christ's efficacy as our Great High Priest, Mahler goes on to espouse his favorite man-made doctrine, that (exclusively his) perception of the natural world can be used to determine who makes the graver sins.
Turnip: Tacit approval
"There are worse parts of hell. There are worse eternities." Timestamp 28:42, Corey Mahler.
More heresy by man-made doctrine (Rev 22:18) Dante didn't write scripture. God's word describes only one single final destination for the damned: the lake of fire prepared for Satan.
18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book. — Jesus, Revelation 22:18-19,
Hell is a prison prepared for the devil and his demons- Jesus Christ, Matthew 25:41, and Jesus never mentions parts of hell. Revelation 20:7-15 only states the end of the damned is exactly what Christ said: the lake of fire. No man-made distinctions.
More heresy.
"If you have an addiction to pornography, that is not as bad as being a pedophile." —Mahler, timestamp 28:40-29:00
Porn routinely traffics in, peddles, uses, addicts, infects, and discards human sexual slaves, often minors. But Mahler isn't done...
Continuing with @TurnipMerchant's video with timestamps: The stumbling blocks and heresies continue without challenge. 29:22 — Mahler, who openly preaches that revelation in Nature is superior to revelation in Scripture, starts expounding on which sins are worse by HIS judgment...
He's not using the only source of such evaluation: When YHWH says one sin is worse. Mahler's going to appeal to Nature (read: Mahler's opinions about life) over scripture to lay out which sins are worse. Heresy.
Turnip: Tacit approval
And it's ALWAYS going to turn out that temptations that Ryan and Mahler experience are going to be Not Bad while sins that Ryan and Mahler do NOT experience are Contrary To Nature.
(Do I have to repeat the Bible condemning man-made doctrines or have I done that enough already?)
@TurnipMerchant, Let's take a look at just how many Scripture Mahler defied in front of you while you stood silently approving on your own podcast, shall we?
1 Corinthians 10:13: No temptation has fallen the listener except that which is common to man
No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. — 1 Corinthians 10:13, ESV
vs. Mahlerism...
Mahlerism defies 1 Cor 10:13 by saying that some are tempted according to their fallen nature and others are tempted contrary to nature. GOD says that no temptation has befallen us except that which is common to man. Ryan lets this stumbling block of heresy go unchallenged.
The truth is that Ephesians 2 completely annihilates the Mahlerite heretics' appeal to nature as more rightous or less sinful. Ephesians 2 associates the natural course of this world (i.e. nature) with the ways of sin, of Satan, and death.
MAHLER: If you are acting in a way that is in line with your Good Nature as God made you…
2:1 And you were dead in the trespasses and sins 2 in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— 3 among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.
— Ephesians 2:1-3 ESV (emphasis added)
MAHLER: because our nature is still good even if fallen, even if tainted by original sin, our nature is NOT original sin, our nature is tainted BY it.
For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. -Romans 7:18
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it? – Jeremiah 17:9
MAHLER: If you are acting in line with that good nature from God, that is better than if you are acting contrary to that nature from God, EVEN IF you act in a way that is excessive, and so is sin, and a way that is not under the right circumstances, so is sin.
So while Romans 1 describes homosexual desire as contrary to nature at the start of a whole list of human depravity that condemns us all (Romans 2:1-5), Eph 2, 1 Cor 6:9-11, 1 Cor 10:13, and Hebrews 4:14-16 completely reject the idea that heterosexual sins are less sinful.
In fact, Romans 2:1-5 openly condemns Christians for doing EXACTLY what Mahler, Woe, and Ryan do for hours in this podcast: condemning others while excusing their own sins by comparison. Ryan ignores God's warning that this is storing up wrath for the Christian, another stumbling block that Ryan alone is not to be held responsible even though he distributed it and did not challenge it, because he "had to calm down" that someone DARED place him under Jesus's teaching in Matthew 7:1-5.
2:1 Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. 2 We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things. 3 Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God? 4 Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? 5 But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.
— Romans 2:1-5 ESV
The heresy continued as Ryan sat nodding like Saul at Steven's death.
