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.

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.

Reap what you sow.

In today’s lingo: play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Invite a worldly performer, what do you expect?

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.

Less Christianity and more new age spirituality that sees the eclipse as part of their spirituality.

I’m waiting for the part where they announce a new bridge and an anon finds out stock trades that were made before today.

Are real estate market value and tax appraisal the same thing or different in New York? Where I live they are two separate values.

Great comment for a Facebook outage thread.

This is a Doritos thread?

If the studio makes the script or can change the script, then let’s plant a flag here of an impending swerve of Bluey into being woke.

Sometimes, people, not wanting to wait for God’s perfect timing, get pregnant by in-vitro fertilization out of impatience.

How is not waiting for God’s timing in pregnancy by reaching for a medical procedure different from other medical conditions and medical solutions?

Knee surgery? Maybe you should pray and wait for God to heal your knee on his timing. If he doesn’t, that’s a thorn in your flesh for you to bear (2 Corinthians 12). When the murders aspect of IVF is addressed and it’s only their argument of “God’s timing”, they open themselves up to this.

I disagree with their reasoning because I know that it doesn’t get applied consistently. God wants us to trust in him, and he gives us the task of stewarding creation to his glory and purposes. If evil is working to prevent offspring and conception through poisons, vaccines, and abortion, shouldn’t we use what we have available to increase fertility when it is does not violate God’s law?

I know a vaxxed couple who gave birth to two kids since 2020. The unpredictability of it is most frustrating.

It used to be that there income from theatres and sales of physical media. Then the profits from a production dried up. Streaming seeks to make the profits last forever. The truth is that the people with money don’t have time, and the people with time don’t have money.
