Daily Life of Man

Just your average Byzantine Hebrew Catholic man with average thoughts.

Happy New Year! Here's a daily Bible reading plan for my Jewish-Catholic brothers and sisters:

@ColesNatha46443 @emuse1955 Agreed. People just don't know what academic virtue is, don't care even if they do, and would prefer to side with those in their tribe. It's very troubling.

[Daily Life of Man @DailyLifeofMan]

I think we should lay off on Wes and let the world do what the world does. I recognize there have been plenty of saints who have gone this route. But I'm pretty sure those have largely been specifically for christian audiences. So, perhaps public shaming shouldn't be our style.

[Daily Life of Man @DailyLifeofMan]

@Thick_Tip @Christojt @emuse1955 I agree there are always people who will pay those sorts of people. But I'm not sure our goal should be to isolate people from a support system. At least with respect to plagiarism, it seems to me like our goal should be to protect the credibility of credible institutions.

[Daily Life of Man @DailyLifeofMan]

@AnthonyRayGray @emuse1955 Because he made Christ his king, and cooperated with the Spirit to overcome the world in him. Either in this life or in purgatory. We're all broken, and we all need that surgery. Every faithful person gets it either in this life by some miracle, or in the next.

[Daily Life of Man @DailyLifeofMan]

@AnthonyRayGray @emuse1955 Yeah. They're not special in that though. We all are born with specific challenges that we need to overcome. For me it was pride and porn.

[Daily Life of Man @DailyLifeofMan]

@Thick_Tip @Christojt @emuse1955 It's entirely possible that he is able to find a job somewhere else. I don't see him as able to continue an academic career though. Even in the lowest tier universities.

[Daily Life of Man @DailyLifeofMan]

@AnthonyRayGray @emuse1955 See part 2 of my comment above.

[Daily Life of Man @DailyLifeofMan]

@AnthonyRayGray @emuse1955 2. With that said, our goal is sainthood. That doesn't mean we all reach that goal in this life, but that reality doesn't diminish the necessity of sainthood as a goal. It is necessary that we discipline the body so as to win the race. The true child of God will strive for this.

[Daily Life of Man @DailyLifeofMan]

@AnthonyRayGray @emuse1955 1. I think the important part is "I don't want to do." Romans is a continuous thought, so a verse is often one step in the reasoning. The completion of this section is in 8:1-11. Those without condemnation are those who don't walk according to the flesh, in sin, but in the spirit

[Daily Life of Man @DailyLifeofMan]

@AnthonyRayGray @emuse1955 If you're the chief of all sinners, the first step into spiritual sight is docility and obedience to those men God has put over you. As the scriptures say, you can't love God who is invisible unless you love the visible. Accepting sin is rejection of God, visible and invisible.

[Daily Life of Man @DailyLifeofMan]

@AnthonyRayGray @emuse1955 Only the meek and docile is equipped to judge. But the accusers of the brethren are merely talebearers, and of them it is spoken "the measure you judged will be meted out to you."

Which are you?

[Daily Life of Man @DailyLifeofMan]

@AnthonyRayGray @emuse1955 And just regular righteous people.

[Daily Life of Man @DailyLifeofMan]

@AnthonyRayGray @emuse1955 I'm not familiar with his words on this point, but I am Catholic, and so my position is fairly straightforward here. I probably agree with him more than you on that topic.

[Daily Life of Man @DailyLifeofMan]

@AnthonyRayGray @emuse1955 That's exactly my point. We need to judge him with righteousness and sobriety. And not jump to extremes of sinful defense or unprompted fixation.

[Daily Life of Man @DailyLifeofMan]

@emuse1955 I also think there's a question of how strategic it is to jeopardize one's own reputation here. Because there's the possibility that continuously bringing this stuff up can begin to feel like too much to a high proportion of your audience. I just hope you've prayed about this.

[Daily Life of Man @DailyLifeofMan]

@hdpayens @emuse1955 I hope I am not perceived as defending him. I just think there's wisdom in knowing when to shake the dust from our feet.

[Daily Life of Man @DailyLifeofMan]

@WillsBlackwolf @matthewpao1 @Christojt @emuse1955 Honestly surprised if that's his only response, considering how much he has been going after all the stuff in various charismatic groups. Did he say more? Like did he indicate that more is coming?

[Daily Life of Man @DailyLifeofMan]

@kingofthehood89 Oh it is. The only job available to him in academia is president of Harvard now. So he's basically screwed. I just wonder at the advantage of being the one to repeatedly bring it up, because I am completely confident in the world's capacity to entirely destroy his career.

[Daily Life of Man @DailyLifeofMan]

@man_of_renown @emuse1955 I hope he becomes repentant.

[Daily Life of Man @DailyLifeofMan]

@GabrielPer35811 @emuse1955 Yeah. I'm also concerned about how it reflects if we hound it though. Virtue is found in the middle way here, I believe.

[Daily Life of Man @DailyLifeofMan]

@Christojt @emuse1955 I've seen some pretty low bars for pastoral work. I don't think plagiarism is as much of a sin in that field as it is in academia. Either way, I hope he repents fully.
