But it’s hard for me to imagine much getting their votes. Maybe some minor climate change stuff? Infrastructure?

We’ll see…

I’m curious to see what they can get to sixty votes. They need people like Boozman, Capito, and Curtis on board to get to sixty votes, and at that point, Trump probably won’t veto anything he lets those Senators vote for.

A week after the election, House and Senate Democrats are plotting out quick legislative action next year on health care and other issues and coordinating an agenda

- The current thinking is to try and pass bills with bipartisan support from 4+ GOP senators and send them to Trump's desk before turning to reconciliation bills
- If Republicans start blocking their agenda then Democrats would move more quickly to reconciliation
- They are also planning an oversight agenda aimed at meshing with the legislative agenda rather than a discordant one
- The best laid plans can get quickly overtaken by events so everything is in flux

Behold Christians: when sin & death do hold you fast, when you fall into their embrace, react thusly. Conduct yourself as a man, beside his beloved, suddenly embraced by a strange woman. Be afraid; cling to your beloved all the more tightly; & push away the sin with vigor.

The reactions are the best

“We… thankfully confess a tradition of the same Christianity by unwritten means, which is delivered more fully in the Scripture: and this tradition is in some respect subordinate to Scripture, and in some respect co-ordinate, to hold us out the truth.”

@dilanesper Just for the record, since I’ve Tweeted about you at some length now: you aren’t stupid. You are misinformed, and you do not really understand the problems with what you’re attempting to argue. But you are reasonably intelligent; otherwise, I’d cease engagement entirely.

@MateyYanakiev Manton is one of the best Reformed theologians in history!

[Nicholas Kibler Myers ❤️‍🔥 @NicholasKM05]

@dilanesper You continue to not answer basic questions, most notably about what you mean by “the teaching of the church” — which apparently contradicts two Doctors of the Church who wrote on the topic!

[Nicholas Kibler Myers ❤️‍🔥 @NicholasKM05]

@dilanesper That I deny the judgment throne of God, simply by asserting that it’s not to be read into overly literally, and you have bizarrely assumed that this theology is antithetical to that unique man, holy yet a journalist, Ross Douthat.

[Nicholas Kibler Myers ❤️‍🔥 @NicholasKM05]

@dilanesper @Ikonizontes By the church, who were declared in their persons saints, who were the most highly esteemed clerical teachers in the history of the church, did not teach what you say the church taught, who did?

[Nicholas Kibler Myers ❤️‍🔥 @NicholasKM05]

Gregory of Nyssa, on the throne of God:

“What is this throne of the immaterial, incomprehensible, and formless Deity? Who could possibly understand all this in a literal sense?”

[Dilan Esper @dilanesper]

the church taught it for 1500 years as truth and it's "sunday school 5 year old stuff"!

[Nicholas Kibler Myers ❤️‍🔥 @NicholasKM05]

@dilanesper @Ikonizontes Cite the bishops who aligned with you! We have now listed bishops and presbyters who agree with us as representing the teachings of the church. You have denied these men are the church — I know not who it belongs to, then! If the very bishops, whose writings were preserved…

[Nicholas Kibler Myers ❤️‍🔥 @NicholasKM05]

@dilanesper Interpretation. But on your absurd view, the literalists should be applauded as the true faithful, and the quasi-Patristics allegorists like Galileo were rightly denounced as faithless.

[Nicholas Kibler Myers ❤️‍🔥 @NicholasKM05]

@dilanesper And, indeed, when the evidence changed and the scientific consensus began to shift, the church was relatively swift to revere course.

I, personally, would use the Galileo episode as a (very small) piece of evidence to favor patristic interpretation over medieval, literalist…

[Nicholas Kibler Myers ❤️‍🔥 @NicholasKM05]

@dilanesper Did you take into account why Galileo was tried? And have you read Tim O’Neill’s blog, History for Atheists, on Galileo?

[Nicholas Kibler Myers ❤️‍🔥 @NicholasKM05]

@dilanesper @Ikonizontes I also am “apologizing” for it. You completely misunderstand the etymology of apologetics, which is deeply embarrassing for a lawyer.

[Nicholas Kibler Myers ❤️‍🔥 @NicholasKM05]

@dilanesper @Ikonizontes The bishops, whom I cited, are not the church? Who is?
