@hex_wing @DefendTheSheep I think we misunderstand “discipline”, especially if our parents chose to spank.
The Latin root simply means to instruct or give knowledge. The word has grown to mean punishment in our modern age.
@hex_wing @DefendTheSheep Church discipline typically looks like having a conversation with one or more pastors/elders and potentially being suspended from serving in ministry or suspended from receiving communion depending on the issue at hand.
@JeffersonBethke Absolutely! I use this phrase and others like “does that make sense?” “Do you know what I mean?” Or “are you tracking?” For the same reason. I want to make sure people are following. I think that’s a helpful tool in conversation!
@42Neuk@PastorAlone @MekalaAnn If you go look at the original tweet in context you’ll see it’s a quote from an article written by a woman addressing the way that moms year each other down in mom groups. This has nothing to do with men, that’s a different issue.
@MekalaAnn This is a quote from an article about the way satan targets moms via mom groups on the internet. Actually a great article written by a woman. Don’t leave out context. The quote is meant to be click bait-y. You’ve successfully given it more traction.
@KLott1281@RWMaloneMD A well-nourished immune system is a far better defense than gene therapy that we still don’t have long term data on. Especially if they already had it.
@DaniellaluvsCC @Jonatha80589955@barnes_law A vaccine can’t stop transmission… so the ones running around spreading things would logically be the vaccinated since they’re more likely to be a symptomatic carriers 🤔
@AskRepublican @truthforher1@barnes_law Most vaccines were formulated using aborted fetal cells, FYI. it’s one big reason I started forming an opposing opinion on all vaccination a while ago.
@truthforher1@barnes_law You do realize “religion” doesn’t mean only mainstream Christianity, right? The Amish for instance are staunchly opposed to all vaccination.
@greg140_6 @Daniel79958639 @RealCandaceO Good thing we have a constitution that protects religious liberty. Also don’t go telling the Amish you want to force vaccinate them. They are largely the reason for religious exemptions as it is an issue near and dear to their beliefs, culture and general way of life.
@Daniel79958639 @greg140_6@RealCandaceO Many states also allow philosophical exemption as well as get this: medical exemption 🤯 so no, not required for everyone to go to school everywhere. Also not usually required in private schools. It’s a government-funded school thing. 🤔
The Jesus of Matthew and Mark and Luke and John is so much richer and grittier (and honestly 1000x more interesting) than the reduced-price Jesus of either progressivism or conservatism.
Who really wants a God who just affirms everything you already think?
This year has taught us that many church-goers are only willing to follow Christ as long it is socially acceptable. In the days ahead, Kingdom living will become increasingly counter-cultural. Prepare your heart for a long journey down a narrow road.
