@WesleyLHuff Jude is quoting Enoch himself. It doesn't seem clear to me that he's quoting from the book we know as 1 Enoch. He could be quoting another text and/or oral source which preserved the authentic prophecy of the historical Enoch. More of the ancient world is lost than extant.

@JoelWebbon Provide a list of other solid churches in the area and encourage people to go visit them for a few weeks.

[Joel @JoelGriffis]

@jonharris1989 Just encourage everyone to visit and encourage other churches for those few weeks. 🤷‍♂️

[Joel @JoelGriffis]

@EvangelicalDW I don't really have an issue with this in principle. But instead of "church at home," why not encourage people to go visit and be an encouragement to other churches in the area for those few weeks?

The Jesus-is-my-homeboy shirt is a trend that goes all the way back to Nazareth.

@MattWalshBlog Books were once viewed as detrimental to education.

@roddreher The fact that she said, “Oh you think he was referring to you?” showed that she was being fully disingenuous.

@natsimms2022 @pj_schreiner Me too!

[Joel @JoelGriffis]

@natsimms2022 @pj_schreiner I would say there is no other group of individuals presented in the text that would fit the description “sons of God.” But with the descendants-of-Seth view, the referent seems fairly natural and easy.

@cuatronelson Most people who champion Spurgeon as one of the “good guys,” do not actually view his preaching as a model to be followed.

@TylerLeeConway @megbasham You’re trolling. Are people not allowed to change their mind about someone as time passes? Does the opinion they once had about someone have to be their forever opinion? Is this really good dunk material?

@BaseballCentraI Flawed sport.

@BBGreatMoments Why do you even have to run the bases if you hit a home run?

@TylerLeeConway I took Josh’s original post to be pushing back against the sentiment that praying in Jesus’ name is an automatically bad thing/unconstitutional, etc.

[Joel @JoelGriffis]

@TylerLeeConway So slave-owning government officials used to pray in Jesus’ name. Therefore, non-slave-owning officials should *not* pray in Jesus’ name now. Is that your argument? By this logic, we should never do anything the founders did.

[Joel @JoelGriffis]

@TylerLeeConway @howertonjosh The question was not “how big a deal is slavery.” You’ve made it about that. The question was, is it good for governments to pray in Jesus’ name.

@drantbradley I don’t understand what’s difficult about this. His team won, he’s celebrating, he’s been given a platform to speak in this moment of victory for his team, and he chooses to give glory to God. What is there to complain about?

@MikeCosper @PastorMark Imagine how awkward it would be to meet up with somebody in person after talking to each other this way on the internet lol
