One person in sinful rebellion could hurt the entire community, just like a little leaven leavens a whole batch of dough (1 Corinthians 5:6). Congregational exclusion should be a last resort after there is a process of attempting to reach the person and they demonstrate a repeated refusal to repent (Matthew 18:15-17). Also, the door must be kept open for restoration should the person eventually come to their senses (Matthew 18:10-14; James 5:19-20). But while we love those who go astray and hope for restoration, sin and spiritual rebellion must be taken seriously.

“If Replacement Theology is true – if God is no longer dealing with Israel- it kind of seems like Satan has not received the memo.”

Truth!

If God is done with Israel, then why are the worst ppl on earth always trying to wipe it off the map?

@BrysonGray Congrats!

@theocraticking1 @Joel7Richardson lol I guess you’ll have to judge for yourself. I mean, I like my songs. Definitely emo though (I’m a millennial).

@AmericanTorah Dude it’s bad

[David Wilber @DavidWilberBlog]

In Ephesians 2:15, Paul wrote that Christ broke down the wall of division between Jew and Gentile “by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances.” But what does Paul mean by this phrase? Is Paul saying that Christ abolished the Law of Moses, or something else? https://t.co/42AoxW4cHu

@Aserbtt @AdlerYonatan Okay, thanks. You haven't persuaded me to stop thinking they're meaningful and good or to stop keeping them though. 🤷‍♂️

Many Christians are rethinking Halloween and opting for alternatives like church-sponsored "harvest festivals." I think that's great. But God already gave us harvest festivals to celebrate. They're in the Bible (see, e.g., Lev. 23; Deut. 16). So if you're looking for an alternative to Halloween, you don't need to come up with your own harvest festival. God has already given us the biblical harvest festivals.

[David Wilber @DavidWilberBlog]

@Aserbtt @AdlerYonatan Why not? Jesus, the apostles, and the earliest Jesus movement (including Gentiles) observed them. I've been keeping them for almost twenty years. They're meaningful and good.

@JosiahForYeshua It was a very dumb post.

[Mike Winger @MikeWingerii]

Christian Nationalism appears to be rudderless.

I suspect the reason is that they don't have clear directions and mandates from Scripture at the very core of their movement. In the absence of such clear guidance they are subject to the blowing of the wind, the trends of the time, and forced to appeal to niche online group-think (niches that are often syphoned off of the cults of personality of godless influencers).

This is not my opinion of every Christian Nationalist but of the trends in the movement that I see represented by vocal members on X.

[David Wilber @DavidWilberBlog]

@BrysonGray And he explicitly commands us not even to think that he came to do that! "**Do not think** that I came to abolish the Law or Prophets."

[David Wilber @DavidWilberBlog]

@Methodist_Prime Lol

[David Wilber @DavidWilberBlog]

Most people don’t intend to be hurtful. We know this because we know our own hearts and motivations. Yet when someone offends us, even in small ways, we often fail to extend to them the same grace we give ourselves. Instead, we let feelings of rejection and false assumptions take over: “They must not really value our relationship.” Such thoughts can grow into insecurity and bitterness. Scripture calls us to live self-controlled lives, not ruled by emotion. We must resist assumptions, pause to reflect, and humbly approach the person to share our feelings and seek understanding. Most conflicts can be resolved through simple, honest conversation.

@_John_3_16_tm @Avis This tweet from them pretending to care is as far as they will go. I did send a DM, and still haven’t heard back. Not holding my breath.

[David Wilber @DavidWilberBlog]

Never ever ever use @Avis Car Rental. They will rob you and treat you like you are stupid when you ask them about extra charges they didn't inform you about beforehand. A truly awful company. And judging from reviews online, it seems like I'm far from the only one who thinks so.

Origen’s Commentary on Romans offers a fascinating perspective on the Apostolic Decree in Acts 15. Rather than seeing the Jerusalem Council as setting aside the Torah for Gentile believers, Origen argues that the apostles looked to the Torah itself to determine what God required of Gentiles. This video explores his reasoning concerning blood, strangled meat, and circumcision, and what it might contribute to the larger question of Gentile Torah observance. https://t.co/AoxAe2uTQH
