God is love. Not cheap love. Not bumper sticker love. Perfect love.

The most honest conversation I ever had with a progressive Christian on sexual ethics and homosexuality ending with them saying:. "The Bible is wrong about this.". I was startled by the raw honesty and the conversation then turned into a much better conversation. We didn't.

God didn’t make Adam and Eves.
Monogamy is not natural for men. Statistically only 20-30% of men have ever reproduced, while 80-90% of women have reproduced. Women were always sharing kings and discarding the surfs. This is the same today, all capable men have multiple women. Betas settle with one

Stan Porter's commentary on the Pastoral Epistles is perhaps the most challenging modern commentary on 1-2 Timothy and Titus. In a good way. His arguments on authorship and linguistics are, well, very Porter-esque. Traction may vary for some, but I find them persuasive if.

Scot McKnight's commentary on the Pastorals is very good. Highly recommended.

The Pastoral Epistles are supremely apocalyptic. Probably more so than Romans.

Bruh. “by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,.and became man”. We all affirm this. Stop acting like we don’t.
I had no idea so many people reject what the Nicene Creed says about Mary.

So … pretty standard PCUSA stuff here. @redeemed_zoomer.
Texas house rep and recent Joe Rogan guest James Talarico:. "The only person to ever beat Jesus in a debate in the Bible was the Syrophoenician woman. Think about that. The only person to teach Jesus something was a woman. Even the son of God had something to learn. "

It takes great courage to disagree and move.
A good rule of thumb is to not argue with folks who cannot agree with you because their church/ denomination has already spoke on the matter. Or, if you do argue, argue to the room, not to the person.

“Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love.”. 1 John 4:7-8.
