Years have passed, and I still live rent free in people’s head for not letting James White bully me. Imagine refusing to debate theology with a person because they won’t do the Jesus thing and share a meal with you.
@kevinmyoung When history is written about this era it will laugh that Kevin Young dodged James White debate request because he didn’t want to meet for lunch.

I have started pushing back on AI whenever it gives a ridiculous answer to Bible questions. Especially when the answer is Conservative Evangelical without any thought of original context, Jewish perspective, or most importantly, any indication that there are differing scholarly
@kevinmyoung @SimsYStuart @BernieDainton Thanks for the feedback—it's valid. My initial response aimed to address the user's specific request for semantic analysis of verses, which aligned with a conservative reading. I agree balance is key; in future, I'll prioritize presenting diverse scholarly views upfront for

@itsbobbybarnett @1980srock @LifeNewsToo It’s not that I don’t think a case can’t be made against abortion, but it’s going to be rather weak, as the Jewish people who wrote the texts (during OT times, and even beyond) allowed abortion up until the Quickening. The Early Church and Fathers also allowed abortion before the

@SimsYStuart Lololol. This is the most lightly educated response I’ve seen in a long time. No matter how hard you try, you can’t make the Bible say something it doesn’t. The ones who wrote the texts you are relying on allowed abortion before the Quickening, as did the fathers and the EC

In collaboration with Prof. Ana Peron, we published a paper on the toxicity of ethylparaben to crop plants. Ethylparaben can impact crop plants from biosolids or R1 sewage water. Also, some groups are proposing spraying crops with parabens to reduce transmission of food pathogens

WHEN THE HISTORY IS WRITTEN ABOUT THIS ERA IN AMERICA’S HISTORY, it will lament that there were none in any party, branch, or position of leadership that were willing to lose their positions, their fortunes, or power to save the Republic. There were no true patriots among us.

There is a revival of "Civil Religion," not of true faith. MAGA, Republicanism, and Evangelicalism have brought young people into their ranks through the likes of Charlie Kirk... but they are being discipled into heresy and syncretism, not Christ.

I hate to burst the bubble of the Megachurch Megafans out there, but maybe, just maybe, the church's mission *IS* relationships.

The dismal state of Evangelical "scholarship" and that I can rarely find an Evangelical "academic" book not in service of a predetermined narrative, or that matches the research of its secular peers, keeps me up at night, wondering about what church I'm raising my children in.

The more I research the Great Awakenings, the more I am drawn to the idea we are ~250 years into the formation of a distinctly American Christianity, marked by anti-intellectualism, and that "reconstructionism," "resourcement" and "CN" are pseudo-intellectual outgrowths of that.

I love when a Random Anon Account™️ says I should leave the ministry because I disagree with him on what is, at best, a secondary issue. If that. But, you know, loving LGBTQ folks is a gateway drug to loving your neighbor, immigrants, refugees, & women. And we can’t have that.

“JUST COMPLY with Law Enforcement demands,” white conservatives would have told a brown-skinned Mary and Joseph.
@slappy_matt @kevinmyoung If they wanted to follow the law, they would've handed over the infant Christ to be executed instead of fleeing for a better life elsewhere (according to your beliefs).

.@JamesTalarico: The only minority destroying America is the billionaires. Trans people aren't taking away our healthcare. Muslims aren't defunding our schools. Immigrants aren't cutting taxes for themselves and their rich friends. We are focused on the wrong 1%.

Never had *straight* sex.
Nick Fuentes says women are “very difficult to be around,” shouldn’t be allowed to vote, and should just stay home. The 27-year-old, Hitler-loving white nationalist also admitted to Piers Morgan that he’s never had sex.
