I’m the Pastor of Calvary Baptist Church in West Memphis, AR; a husband to Elizabeth; and a father to Charles, Walter, and Philo.

@JamesNBeevers @crossway I’m writing in this is Paul for a PhD seminar. The Old Greek’s specialized use of κύριος was so influential that Jews very rarely used the term for supernatural beings other than YHWH. Paul’s overwhelming preference for calling Jesus this title means something.

@MiloPrime_AI @JJ_McCullough Now you are just misrepresenting what I said.

He meant those words, but not in the way you are presenting them. It’s called context.

@marmoooom183527 @AnnaKateShelt @billybinion @neerajadeshp You can be an excellent baker and barista while also being a horrible employee.

[Jacob Smith @JLSmith2012]

@MiloPrime_AI @JJ_McCullough Cherry picking. He said those words but not with reference to the critics of his video.

He’s referring to the people insisting that this is a scandal and that if he really had substance he’d battle it out.

@hunterbaker Biblical Christianity is simply a poor tool in the hands of a political ruler. It is too concerned with equality before God and the welfare of marginalized people, and it promotes an awareness of the sinfulness of even the ruling class.

[Jacob Smith @JLSmith2012]

@hunterbaker I think that they dream of an Iran-like arrangement with Christian religious leaders holding sway over a “democratic” government. But, it would always devolve more of a Byzantine Caesaro-papism. Islam’s doctrines sanction political control more readily than Christianity’s.

@ihatethiskid @BigTucsonDad As far as I can tell, there are three machines out there at TSA checkpoints. The old ones are square with a metal shell (electronics out. luggage doesn't go in a bin). The new ones are this one and a square one with a plastic shell (no electronics out. everything in a bin).

@Logan_Kolas @HannahDCox These are my wife’s words (she’s from Fairfield): Your preferences are valid, but I can drive to Camp Washington Chili if I want. I choose to go to Skyline.

Also, Skyline is hardly the most mild option, but the op will be put off by any of them.

[Jacob Smith @JLSmith2012]

@Logan_Kolas @HannahDCox That’s not an accurate comparison at all. Skyline is for sure the most popular choice for Cincinnati chili because people prefer it. I’ve never met someone who considers Skyline the “chain version” like it’s a watered down knockoff of mom and pop places.

@eclairJoss When I was in high school, I just carried a pencil and pen in my hand with my books/notebooks for each class. Often with the pencil tucked into the spiral binding of one of the notebooks.

I knew many guys who carried them in their pockets. Cargo shorts were “in” at the time.

@halphdoomed @marieeebabie Men had neat handwriting in the past because penmanship was drilled in schools. Upper class prep schools often pressed their young aristocrats to have calligraphy skills because it was considered “gentlemanly.”

@Gugugaga18786 @Brien_Jackson Also, you do not know what I support because all I did was address a factual error (and a very fundamental one at that). Quit assuming everyone who disagrees with something you say necessarily disagrees with you wholesale.

[Jacob Smith @JLSmith2012]

@Gugugaga18786 @Brien_Jackson That’s not a dodge. You said something inaccurate, which I corrected.

You are moving the goal posts from “no money to help people” (inaccurate considering almost 50% of budget is entitlements) to a speculation on what socialist policies won’t get funded due to a defense bill.

[Jacob Smith @JLSmith2012]

@dantypo This is why the quartz countertop is truly a marvel of modern material science. It’s more durable than natural stone, easy to clean, looks polished, heat resistant, and comes in whatever color you want.

[Jacob Smith @JLSmith2012]

@Gugugaga18786 @Brien_Jackson That is not correct. The $1.5 Trillion is a one time appropriations bill that will be invested over many years. In reality, 46% of the US Federal budget is Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. The entire US Military is 13%.

@dieworkwear @GrantGHurst On the mosque, the largest conservative evangelical denomination (the Southern Baptist Convention) had some intramural fights about it but the broad position was in support of Muslim’s rights to do so.

@BenIsBack123 @thugwontmiss So long as the activity happening on a public sidewalk is not illegal or a nuisance, children have as much right to it as you and me.

This was a neighbor. Presumably, the parent knew where the girl was and was keeping an eye on her. It’s not the scenario you are imagining.

[Jacob Smith @JLSmith2012]

@griffingulledge I remember when Conecuh was unavailable north of Huntsville. My dad and I would visit the Piggly Wiggly in Gurley while at my Grandmother’s just to pick up sausage and ALAGA syrup.

They are, to this day, what I look for first in a new grocery store.

@RidleyDM @lymanstoneky Conservatives generally see abortion as a form of genocide that is only tolerable to anyone because it’s victims are nameless and silent.

The op was speaking to his inability to vote for candidates across the aisle. Cooperation on other issues doesn’t really blot out that stain.

[Jacob Smith @JLSmith2012]

@RidleyDM @lymanstoneky I don’t think the US center-left is very warm to euthanasia if addressed in an ideological vacuum.

The point is that conservatives rather broadly view euthanasia and Abortion as two sides of the same coin—the belief that life is expendable if it is inconvenient or willing.
