@Young_Anglican Wait, the 77th Ecumenical Event Thing is being held in Spokane?

If you keep the Sabbath, why not also be circumcised? And if circumcised, why not also offer sacrifices?
If the law is to be observed, it must be observed as a whole, or not at all.

John Chrysostom

[Sam Thiessen @SMThiessen]

Sabbath rest was a flood that cleansed the land.

The cleansing was inevitable, it could be received from God weekly with thanksgiving or stored up toward a day of judgement.

[Sam Thiessen @SMThiessen]

The more the realm of lust is destroyed, the more the realm of love is increased.

St. Augustine

[Sam Thiessen @SMThiessen]

Sabbath rest is a form of de-creation.

We spend six days ordering the world according to principle and then it all falls apart on the seventh day.

Rest reintroduces chaos into the world and resets our expectations for the future.

@tomthie55en It’s the No King*s* Protest. They’re allowed to have one king.

Plato remains undefeated on actors.

“He awakens and nourishes and strengthens the feelings and impairs the reason.”

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

1. He wasn't hit by a car, which we believe because we have eyes

2. I didn't realize "hey dude I'm not mad at you" is harassment that warrants a death sentence

3. He killed an innocent woman

4. Shooting her in the face did nothing to protect him. Stepping out of the way did

@tomthie55en Love this idea! I’m on it 🫡

[Sam Thiessen @SMThiessen]

@tomthie55en It seems like it started as a simple oversight due to how the law was written. But the amendment to fix the issue failed, so I don’t know.
I guess somebody has to keep our gov solvent.

@Gospel__Press I like my noir like my eggs. Hard boiled.

Adam is like Moses, applying the heavenly pattern on earth.

Eve is like the daughters of the Hebrews, bringing out plundered gold to adorn the pattern with glory.

[Sam Thiessen @SMThiessen]

Adam is the sun and after the fall he eats bread with the sweat of his brow.

Eve is the moon and she is reminded of the pains of birth in accordance with the cycles of the moon.

[Sam Thiessen @SMThiessen]

At the fall, the curses on Adam and Eve are directly related to their roles.

Eve is the agent of time and the pain of childbirth is a curse on the propagation of the future.

Adam is the agent of space and his pain comes from guarding the border against invading weeds.
