Unlimited power for the truck…as long as there’s enough gas. Wow! What an idea!
Those two aren't mutually exclusive.
We do have shenanigans. Someone pulled a fire alarm.
I will be very sad if it proves they had a hand in J6.
She thinks people will believe that line? Lmao. Why would I believe twitter tabloids when I can look at documents, receipts, and video evidence.
Nations definitely never lie about their nuclear weapons either. 😉
I particularly like the part where ARC was incorporated in 2016.
Great article.
Hard times make strong men
Some churches have a “benevolence” program with a budget for situations like financial hardship. If you haven’t already asked, try calling some local churches and ask if there’s anything they have for that.
My prayer is that there will be something like that where a church will come alongside you with brothers and sisters ministering to you and your family in love. Praying for Christ’s love and transforming power, more than just a financial fix.
On the references to father, the same section in John 8 speaks to it.
John 8:39–42 (ESV): They answered him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would be doing the works Abraham did, but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. This is not what Abraham did. You are doing the works your father did.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father—even God.” Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and I am here. I came not of my own accord, but he sent me.
There’s a lot going on here so here’s how I parse the speaking and the claims.
- The Jews claimed Abraham was their father in the sense of being their ancestor.
- Jesus claimed to have heard the truth “from God” (theos)
- Jesus said to the Jews, “You are doing the works your father did.” The language here isn’t specific as to who this “father” refers to, but the prior statement in context has Jesus telling them that they were not doing the works of Abraham, though they claimed him as their father.
- The Jews said, “We have one Father— even God.” (theos)
- Jesus said to them, “If God [theos] were your father, you would love me, for I came from God [theos] and I am here.”
The last two points there have the overlap in language. The Jews claim that they have one Father God [theos] following from their believes rooted in the shema (Deut 6:4; c.f. Isaiah 63:16; 64:8). Jesus then turns that around saying that if they were true to their claim of loving their father God, then they would love him because he came from God, the same God the Jews claimed was their father.
So the prior claim in this comment thread was that Jesus’ statement in (John 8:44) equates Yahweh with the devil (Satan). I don’t see how that is coherent with the passage because of John 8:41-42. That reading requires that both the Jews and Jesus are using the Greek word theos but are referring to two different entities. I don’t see anything in the passage making that distinction.
Do you dispute he came to " tear down the temple and rebuild it anew " And that his body was the temple ? What's that mean too you ?
The original statement from Jesus is in John 2:19
John 2:19-22 (ESV): Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” The Jews then said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?” But he was speaking about the temple of his body. When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.
The other forms like, “I will destroy this temple…” come from the false witnesses at the trial before the crucifixion in Matthew 26:61; 27:20; Mark 14:58; 15:29. It’s worth noting here in John 2 that, in addition to the Jews not understanding what Jesus meant, the disciples also did not immediately understand what Jesus meant.
What does that mean to me? I take the view of John 2:21-22 that the temple Jesus was referring was his body and that, though destroyed, it would be raised up. He was speaking of the coming crucifixion and resurrection as he did other times in the gospels.
In Luke 10:27, the lawyer’s answer to Jesus quotes Deuteronomy 6:5 and uses kyrion where the Hebrew has YHWH.
John 8:58 Jesus gives one of many “I am” statements that mirror God’s revealing of his name to Moses at the burning bush in Exodus 3. The link to Exodus 3 and the meaning of YHWH is seen in the Greek verb in the present tense which is visible in English translations. “Before Abraham was, I am.” Normal language would expect an imperfect tense, “Before Abraham was, I was.” It is one of multiple ways Jesus identifies himself with YHWH by using the language of the Old Testament.

Strong’s has “gay” listed among the definitions.
This kind of content goes viral because of how unbelievably stupid it is. It’s real because it’s the state of the internet.
I don’t see how affirming the TULIP view or its opposite has any impact on living the Christian life. We are to walk with God, evangelize, disciple, and fulfill our calling.
Maybe someone can enlighten me why being a five point Calvinist (or not) changes what I’m going to do today.
Corollary to #1 is when their income fluctuates based on their popularity, they are incentivized toward profitable moves.
It’s a well-trodden field of study, but it’s largely in books and journal articles. It’s almost entirely left to Bible colleges, seminaries, and the scholarly community. It’s not something that a churchgoer will find out about from the pulpit.
I’ve found that reading books written by people who do biblical studies for a living are the best way to get into topics like this. Look at the footnotes for referenced works to start traversing the space.

Invite Driscoll to speak without giving him full knowledge, control, and input on the event, what do you expect? He’s spent his whole career at the top of the human food chain.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. It’s amazing our healthcare system works at all. Just wait a few more years when all of healthcare in the US is under a dozen or so organizations.
Level-headed to me would be: “I am okay with putting a criminal in jail.”
Sustained lifestyle changes.
Less Christianity and more new age spirituality that sees the eclipse as part of their spirituality.
Infiltration similar to what happened to first century churches.
