Love God, Love Neighbor, everything else is just commentary. I put the Baptist in Anabaptist. ;)

@DeutschAnglican @BradyJBush @CalebDixonSmith The Northern Kingdom of Israel was carried away, and the remaining Israelites and displaced Assyrians intermarried and became the Samaritans, not the Galileeans. The Galileeans were Jews from after the Babylonian Exile who settled in Galilee. Different people in a different place

@djos24 @PhilipDerrida We did in my community. The local churches kept a running program of people prepared to go and get groceries for those who were sick or afraid to leave their homes. We had many people in our churches who worked with covid patients as nurses, doctors, and caretakers. 1/

@PhilipDerrida Do you need me to start quoting letters from Roman governers of all the times Christians were turned in to the authorities by their pagan neighbors?

[Pastor JD @PastorJD333]

@DeutschAnglican @BradyJBush @CalebDixonSmith Case in point. One of the two greatest Rabbis who was even a leader of the Sanhedrin in his day was Hillel. Fun thing about him, he wasn't a Judean Jew. He wasn't even from Galilee! He was from Babylon originally, and moved to Judea as an adult.

[Pastor JD @PastorJD333]

@DeutschAnglican @BradyJBush @CalebDixonSmith Yeah, that's not how Judaism works. You were Jewish, and recognized as a Jew whether you were from Judea, Galilee, or even the Diaspora beyond Palestine entirely. While they had biases against other groups within Judaism, they still all considered each other Jewish. 1/

@thealfordplea @smashbaals Yes, she had previously attended the school.

I think her parents were still members and regular attendees of the church.

@williamwolfe We used to hate and destroy one another and refused to associate with people of another race or country. Now, because of Christ, we live together with such people and pray for our enemies. - Justin Martyr 150 https://t.co/wTAj5PtH5K.

@RealMrWinsome @williamwolfe This is something I would love to do at my church on a Sunday morning or Wednesday evening.

@DeutschAnglican @CalebDixonSmith And if you don't care much for Wright, try Bauckham, Stott, or Witherington. Look to actual scholars who have spent their career researching second temple Judaism and the New Testament.

[Pastor JD @PastorJD333]

@DeutschAnglican @CalebDixonSmith Your sources were a TGC article, and a website. Neither run by people who have actually deeply studied the dynamic relationship between Judean Jews and Galileean Jews. They were both partial facts, and sometimes flat out false takes on what is in the text even, let alone history

[Pastor JD @PastorJD333]

@RxOnly_ @henryjkwallis How many churches do you know of that were destroyed by Muslims in France?

[Pastor JD @PastorJD333]

@contramordor Thanks.

[Pastor JD @PastorJD333]

@DeutschAnglican @CalebDixonSmith Got questions... really? Poor choice of a source. You are better off reading a real scholar. I recommend N.T. Wright. A fellow Anglican.

[Pastor JD @PastorJD333]

@DeutschAnglican @CalebDixonSmith Of course there are differences, just not the ones you mentioned.

[Pastor JD @PastorJD333]

@DeutschAnglican @CalebDixonSmith 46 Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see."

[Pastor JD @PastorJD333]

@DeutschAnglican @CalebDixonSmith I think you might be confusing the Galileeans with the Samaritans. The Samaritans worshipped on Mt Gerizim in Samaria instead of Jerusalem, the Galilean Jews traveled to Jerusalem to worship.

And the Judeans never said that. Nathaniel, who was a Galileean himself, said it.

[Pastor JD @PastorJD333]

@DeutschAnglican @CalebDixonSmith John 1:44-46.
44 Now s Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. 45 Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”

@JeremyTate41 This reading list is missing Augustine's Confessions, Dante's Inferno, Shakespeare, Lewis's Narnia, and Martin Luther King's Letters.
