@niconley Learn how to fight fair. A lot of people never learn this.

Don't bring up past events. Don't call each other names. Don't tell either set of parents about arguments. Stick strictly to the disagreement at hand. Apologize sincerely and grant forgiveness generously.

@AdriaticMachin @ChrisMartzWX See, you don't believe me. 😭

@ConstantCate My sister lives in France, married to a French guy. One of her kids discovered a great shortcut: the past emphatic. You don't have to learn all those irregular tenses if you just say "I did go", "I did write", "I did say"...

@ConstantCate I remember well those days of "eated" and "bringed". My poor kids had perfect logic, but they were learning a language that doesn't.

@emmjay_init I have it on my Kindle but I think I've only read about 20% of it so far. 😁

@MattWalshBlog My impression is that an AI wants the writing to be as impactful as possible, which means it cranks everything up to 11. No ordinary paragraphs with sharp points at the end. Every single sentence has to land on its own. It's too much. It's tiring to read.

@ldrumm @DaniAhnDirect Holy mackerel.

OK, that's a whole 'nother ballgame.

@BillboardChris When there really *are* genitals exposed, like with men in women's changing rooms, the media doesn't say a word about it.

@ldrumm @DaniAhnDirect A week!?

Somehow I missed that part of the story.

@emmjay_init As I recall, it goes

Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

"When you realize that Peter and Paul had non-inspired letters, you see the significance of the ones we DO have."

Eh, I've never liked this line of reasoning. It's begging the question.

"Why do we have these letters? Because they're *inspired*!"

"Why don't we have those other letters? Because they're *not* inspired!"

But if we don't have any of the supposedly uninspired letters, we're just making the assumption. Maybe there was some letter of Paul that was better than Romans, Galatians, and Philippians put together, but it was destroyed in a first-century house fire. We just don't know.

The vocabulary is no different from those who want amnesty for all illegals. That's why they call them "undocumented immigrants". They think every case is a clerical issue.

Suddenly I realize: Ultimately every crime is a clerical issue.

Squatter in my house: Clerical issue about whose name's on the paperwork.

Bank robbery: Clerical issue; if the robber's name had been on a large account, then it's just a withdrawal, no problem.

Shoplifting: Clerical issue; lack of a receipt and exchange of mere paper money.

Murder: Clerical issue; they forgot to do the MAID paperwork.

The obvious question RCs and Orthodox ask Protestants would be: If you believe the Bible the early church gave you, why don't you believe the theology and practice of the early church?

The inerrantist Protestant would respond that biblical inerrancy attests that the Bible came from God, and that therefore early church authority isn't needed; the Bible's authority is inherent and evident based on its inerrancy.

Of course, the issue then is where the dogma of inerrancy comes from...

[3LandObserver ☦️ @3LandObserver]

@Penjammin @lone_rides I feel like the inerrancy thing came about as an effort to plausibly explain the authority of the Bible without appealing to the early church. A way to describe the Bible as something unique, independent of the milieu in which it arose.

@CopperRose227 @Penjammin @lone_rides I'm not asking you to trust me.
