@philthatremains First, they probably don’t want to have a conversation.

Second, if they do, it probably isn’t going to be productive.

Third, walk away. Sometimes the smartest response is no response at all.

@AZ_Brittney Congratulations! You've discovered democracy.

We look at the suffering in the world and ask, ‘Where is God?’ But if there is no God, by what ultimate standard do we call the world unjust in the first place? Perhaps the better question is: Where were we? God gave us a moral law, free will, and the responsibility to confront evil, relieve suffering, and care for one another. We shouldn't blame God for failing to do the work He gave to us.

James Carville treats Trump like a political alien. But look back at Bill Clinton on immigration, crime, welfare, government and American power. The differences may be smaller than Carville wants us to remember. Is James Carville a moron? https://t.co/eFvfEffbT9

Question for the ages....

How the hell do you use the THREE SEASHELLS in Demolition Man?

30+ years later, we still don't have an official answer.

The leading theories:

Two shells work like tongs, the third is for scraping.

They're actually buttons controlling a futuristic bidet: wash, rinse, dry.

Each shell controls water, soap and warm air.

They're handheld cleaning devices that never require toilet paper.

Some kind of ultrasonic cleaning system—because, hey, it's 2032.

I'm going with bidet controls, because I really don't want to think too hard about that first theory.

So...

How do YOU think the three seashells work?

Trump called Iran’s bluff. Six months later, Hormuz is reopening, Iran’s leverage is fading, American energy is stronger, and China looks more vulnerable. War is never good—but sometimes the world that comes after it is better. https://t.co/zAI6GKHc8q

@DrFrankTurek But what else can Sola Scriptura mean? It literally translates as “Scripture alone.”

When you don't have an actual policy argument, I guess you make one up.

The death of a child is tragic enough without turning it into a political prop. The Lancaster County coroner says the infant died from a lacerated spleen and that the pathologist did not believe measles played a role. The state calls it “measles-associated.”

That's a legitimate medical question worth resolving—not an excuse to race to the microphones and score political points.

Let me apologize up front if I’m missing the context of the post, but if the argument is that “not of works” means “therefore not through baptism,” Paul never says that.

Baptism isn’t a work by which we earn salvation. It is an act of faith and obedience through which we receive God’s grace. Otherwise, you could make the same argument about believing in Christ—after all, believing is also something you do.

Jesus says, “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved” (Mark 16:16), and Peter says, “Baptism now saves you” (1 Peter 3:21).

That doesn’t mean the water earns salvation. Christ earned our salvation. God chose baptism as an ordinary means through which we receive that grace.

Baptism is receiving the gift, not paying for it.
