† Romans 1:16

[Daniel Tucker @DanielTucker_1]

“And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.”
(1 John 5:20)

@QBCCIntegrity @AustralianJA You believe the move on order is justified?
Being detained for breach of the peace justified?
The belief he is a self-professed provocateur justifies this treatment?

[Nayib Bukele @nayibbukele]

Pèp ayisyen,

Nou prèske fin deplwaye sòlda nou yo ak ekipman nou yo sou tè Ayiti. Sa a se pa yon operasyon kont pèp ayisyen an, ni yon envazyon peyi Ayiti. Nou pa yon gwo pisans. Nou pa gen okenn enterè ni pou nou vin domine pèp ayisyen an, ni pou nou mete men sou richès Ayiti.

Nou se yon peyi modès k ap devlope. Sèl sa nou vle, se pou kat teknisyen avyasyon nou yo tounen lakay yo. Epi n ap bay gang yo yon leson, gang sa yo k ap fè pèp ayisyen an soufri, ki touye moun pèp la renmen yo, k ap anpeche l viv yon lavi nòmal, lib, san laperèz.

Se prèske nou menm sèl k ap peye pou operasyon sa a. Menmsi nou resevwa yon ti èd lojistik nan men kèk lòt peyi, se ak pwòp ti kès nou n ap kouvri 90% nan depans yo.

Sa koute nou chè, men nou te aprann nan pwòp soufrans nou: jistis ak lapè pa gen pri. Nou te pase nan menm soufrans Ayiti ap travèse jodi a. Nou te viv yon beny san ki te pi terib toujou pase sa pèp ayisyen an ap sibi kounye a. Nou konnen sa sa vle di: viv nan laperèz, pa fè politisyen konfyans, pa kwè okenn moun ki pwomèt l ap ede w. Paske pèsonn pa t vin ede nou, e moun ki te vini yo pa t gen bon entansyon nan kè yo.

Men nou te rive chape anba sa. Apre 200 lane soufrans, finalman n ap viv nan lapè, e jodi a nou se peyi ki gen plis sekirite sou kontinan an.

Nou pa vin ann Ayiti pou nou touche lajan, paske pèsonn pa peye nou pou sa. Nou vin ann Ayiti pou nou goumen kont mechan yo.

Men sa m ap mande nou: fè nou konfyans, lapriyè sèl vrè Bondye a, epi mande L pou L geri Ayiti.

“Lè sa a si pèp ki pote non m lan lapriyè nan pye m, si yo soumèt devan mwen, si yo pran chache m ankò, si yo vire do bay vye peche yo t'ap fè yo, m'ap tande yo nan syèl kote m ye a, m'ap padonnen peche yo, m'ap fè peyi a kanpe ankò.”

2 Kwonik 7:14

Ede nou ede Ayiti.

Epi lè misyon nou an fini, n ap tounen lakay nou. Petèt jenerasyon Ayisyen k ap vini yo ap sonje nou kòm zanmi ki te vin ede yon lè.

Can someone explain to me like I don’t already believe abortion is murder (use all the euphemisms you like)…

As a late term abortion requires delivery regardless whether the baby is alive or dead, what is the actual justification for killing the baby prior to delivery?

[The Culturist @the_culturist_]

Evil detests beauty because beauty is proof of a transcendental order, of objective Goodness and Truth.

To attack beauty is to wage war against the possibility of transcendence.

Beauty is a great affront to nihilism. It testifies to that which is greater than the individual, because to create a beautiful thing is to acknowledge that you are answerable to standards higher than your own. Beauty is often called a great evangelist for this reason.

This is why they outright destroy beauty or try to subvert your perception of it by promoting ugliness or triviality. Beauty is neither neutral nor trivial — your ability to discern the beautiful from the ugly is intimately connected to your capacity to recognize the divine.

Dietrich von Hildebrand once declared that "beauty is the archenemy of mediocrity." Why?

Beauty elevates a person toward truth, goodness, and the divine. The antitheses to beauty drag the soul down into nihilism and worship of the self.

[John Doyle @JohnDoyle]

This guy embodies one of the most popular archetypes used to bully white men throughout the world. Yet after being attacked, he gets back up, stands his ground, and faces his attackers to defend whatever remains of his store.

His attackers, meanwhile, behave like a pack of hyenas. Whatever bravery they have is only because of their numbers and their de facto anonymity — police wouldn’t arrest them anyway.

So, the guy who looks like the punchline of a thousand jokes actually displays more honor in a single moment than literally the entire recorded history of his attackers.

He has no crowd to hide behind, no numerical advantage, and seemingly very little left to protect. What has happened to him will either be ignored or excused as having been caused by some kind of socio-economic problem which is ultimately his fault anyway. Nevertheless, he stands there.

I would take one thousand Jacques Blacks before taking a single refugee.

Evil exists.
There are evil cultures and evil parts of an otherwise good culture.

Racism means you hate someone because of their race, of who they are not what they do.
Racism™️ is used to prevent you from standing up to evil cultures or evil parts of an otherwise good culture.

[Daniel Tucker @DanielTucker_1]

It could equally be said that the atheist who claims the Christian only believes in Heaven because he is afraid of death, only believes the lie that God does not exist because he is afraid of judgement.

[Daniel Tucker @DanielTucker_1]

@Be_Like_JChrist @dazaiel Explain how a bent towards sin is not a sin nature?
The reformed position would say because of Adam’s sin which perfectly represented all, sin affects our mind, affections and will. We became sinners by nature. Seperated from God in mind, affections, will as our just judgment.

[Daniel Tucker @DanielTucker_1]

@dazaiel @Be_Like_JChrist His very first post he says it. He denies an inherited sin nature. He certainly seems to be implying Pelagianism. I don’t know people come to a different conclusion from Scripture, church history and human nature that we all, are separated/dead spiritually and need regeneration.

[Daniel Tucker @DanielTucker_1]

@Be_Like_JChrist Denying the clear teaching and reality that all humanity have a sinful nature and that nature was not arbitrarily forced upon us, but as a result of Adam’s perfect representation of all, does serious damage to God’s justice and righteousness, the unequal access to the gospel etc.

[Daniel Tucker @DanielTucker_1]

@Be_Like_JChrist Romans 5:12-21 in context with Paul’s argument teaches the universality of all being dead in Adam and the gift of righteousness given to all who are in Christ. You would be deliberately dishonest to ignore the centuries of faithful men who have interpreted it as so.

[Daniel Tucker @DanielTucker_1]

@Fair_and_Biased And even if you do not believe dispensationalism to be the truth of Scripture (I affirm Covenant Theology) God clearly has a redemptive plan for His chosen people, ethnically Jewish people, unbelieving Israel.

Christians must echo Paul’s heart towards his ‘kinsmen in the flesh’.

[Daniel Tucker @DanielTucker_1]

@scotttaz72 @OzraeliAvi Israel not only has the right but the moral imperative to destroy a terrorist regime.

[Daniel Tucker @DanielTucker_1]

@scotttaz72 @OzraeliAvi Your opinion. But if you are impartial yourself you could not come to a different conclusion then what he is saying in this video? He has every right to be allowed to interview those protestors and the police should have allowed him to, while dealing with any violence.

[Daniel Tucker @DanielTucker_1]

@scotttaz72 @OzraeliAvi In an ideal world yes of course. Your assuming Avi was being impartial? Ideally truth over ideology on both sides sure but if that’s not possible, then allowing both sides of an issue even if partial is the next best option, and not allowing a police force to show partiality.

[Daniel Tucker @DanielTucker_1]

@ransomrespecter God in His sovereignty and according to His promises will bring many ethnic, unbelieving Jewish people to faith in Christ.
It will be particular because it will happen in a way that will not happen to say the New Zealanders.
Romans 11 is clear and it is unique in one sense.

[Daniel Tucker @DanielTucker_1]

Even if you do not believe dispensationalism to be the truth of Scripture (I hold to Covenant Theology), God clearly has a redemptive plan for His chosen people, ethnically Jewish people, unbelieving Israel.

Christians must echo Paul’s heart towards his ‘kinsmen in the flesh’.

[Joel Berry @JoelWBerry]

Dispensationalism isn’t new or novel. The word “dispensationalism” is relatively new (a few hundred years old), but it simply describes the most conservative and literal reading of Scripture.

It’s a hermeneutic that has been with us since the early church fathers, and has been a predominant way of understanding Scripture in Protestant, particularly Baptist, traditions since God's word first started being translated into the common language.

It’s not a heresy, and there’s nothing weird about it. It’s simply a way of reading Scripture that takes it simply and says, “The Bible actually means what it says.” And yes, some conclusions about Israel do follow from a plain reading of scripture.

I myself am not a strict dispensationalist, but the idea that it’s something new, novel, or heretical simply isn’t true. That idea seems to be mainly pushed by Jew-haters who need a theological reason for their hatred.

[Daniel Tucker @DanielTucker_1]

@ransomrespecter Definetly not another gospel or means of salvation other than the only true gospel of faith in Christ alone as grounds for anyone’s justification.
The particular plan would be referring to how God bring’s about unbelieving Israel to redemption through the gospel of Christ.

[Daniel Tucker @DanielTucker_1]

@BHFraider @sola_chad I can’t see Romans 11 referring to anything other than a clear redemptive plan for unbelieving ethnic Israel. Especially Romans 11:28. Paul makes it clear he is referring to those who are ‘enemies’ of the gospel, yet still ‘ beloved and chosen’ for future redemption.
