“I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings” is not a proper confession or apology.

@megbasham @BigD7764 @HelloFresh I’d take this down Megan. With AI nowadays, who knows if anyone can track down the address on the label. Be wise for safety

@RyanLewwy @JustinPetersMin I’m not sure that’s true. Of course we’re called to exercise grace and mercy but there are many cases in scripture that destruction was a work of God and a direct response to get His people to truth.

Meh, I love Doug. I have spent time with him, eaten Taco Time with him (that's a true bonding experience!), and unlike 99.999% of his critics, I have debated him, repeatedly, on a wide variety of topics. And I am a better Christian for having done so, and I hope he would say the same thing in reverse. I am so thankful he got to be on TC and give a clear testimony to the fact that Jesus is a perfect and powerful Savior of sinners. And if your DWDS is so strong you can't rejoice in that, well, you've lost the narrative. Step back, take a deep breath, and be thankful.

If you’re in Christ, your name is permanently written in heaven.

May your sleep be peaceful tonight.

So I have not commented on this uber-recent, "I wonder if anyone will remember this a year from now" controversy over saying "Christ is King." Evidently, the only real controversy is due to vile unbelievers using the phrase as some kind of attack upon "Jews," however you even define that term. There is absolutely no question about the fact that there are false brothers (and sisters) pretending to be amongst the sheep who are promoting vile prejudices and hatreds toward some mythical concept of "the Jews," asserting they are behind all sorts of evil things. Had one of these loonies show up at Apologia last year. Wasted ten minutes with him before he finally got to "the Jews." At which point I rolled my eyes and suggested he might want to exit the building. Anyway, such folks need to be marked out, rebuked, avoided. No question.

But "Christ is King" has definitely taken on a greater meaning since 2020, globally. As a child, we would have said this phrase without giving it a second thought because in our "myth of neutrality" world, we were only talking about a spiritual king. The idea that the ascended and enthroned Lord would fulfill the words of Psalm 2, and kings and judges would be called to bow down to him and kiss him (and hence actually take consideration of His law), never crossed our minds. It does now, of necessity. And so we are thinking through what this must mean as we face a world of techno-tyrannical secularism. There is much work to be done in this project, to be sure, and we dare not avoid that labor.

But what we SURELY cannot do is hesitate for even a moment to proclaim Christ as King. But this little controversy should surely show us that when we make that statement, we need to be prepared to make application and defense immediately.

More on this topic on the DL today at 5pm EDT. And for those who would like, here is Psalm 2, sung in German, by my dear brother Tobias Riemenschneider (who preached a barn-burner of a sermon at Apologia this past Sunday!):

@kevinmyoung @dumpsterfiretx @HwsEleutheroi He may block me that’s fine. The truth is he wanted him to eat with him and call him a Christian. Is that not what I just said that’s total truth? So I lied?

[Every Thought Captive @EveryThoughtYT]

@kevinmyoung @dumpsterfiretx You had an opportunity to debate this “non expert” @HwsEleutheroi but u forced a person u know disagrees with you (since it’s a debate to begin with) to acknowledge and accept your beliefs.

[Every Thought Captive @EveryThoughtYT]

@kevinmyoung So is your claim that we all can’t figure out what Jesus did, called out, and stood for?

If you’re including yourself, then it seems that would be the only conclusion.

[Every Thought Captive @EveryThoughtYT]

@kevinmyoung Whenever an argument can easily be turned against the person saying it, it’s not a good argument.

[Every Thought Captive @EveryThoughtYT]

@kevinmyoung Do you have any data to back up the claim that churches don’t accept people with disabilities?

[Every Thought Captive @EveryThoughtYT]

@PeterHotez @voxdotcom It was the right thing to do cuz your afraid it would destroy your career. Good move

@catholiccom Hey Catholic Answers, remember when the Church's "infallible" interpretation permitted the Catholic Church to burn William Tyndale at the stake for the grave sin of...*checks notes*... translating the Bible into English? No human rights for "heretics" am I right?
