On the importance of setting in Scripture

In Acts, when God calls Peter preach to Gentiles, he does so in Joppa. He could have done this anywhere and anytime but he chose a time when Peter was in Joppa. 1/

Going offline for a bit. Someone tell me if Musk bans the p*rn accounts, and I’ll come back.

@testing521 I don’t see it. This seems to be an arbitrary restriction you’re placing on the text that doesn’t correspond to what we know the text to say.

[Joel Slater @_joelslater]

@testing521 Exactly right, for humans. But God does know and communicates those implications. That’s why I think there has to be a distinction.

I’m thinking about Jesus in his humanity not knowing the day or the time. And about dyotheletism/monotheletism more generally.

[Joel Slater @_joelslater]

@testing521 Why? Is that not an example of meaning communicated by the text?

[Joel Slater @_joelslater]

@testing521 Do you believe the human author was aware of all the implications of what he wrote? Like, did the author of Genesis know that Jesus was foreshadowed in so many ways by the life of Joseph? I don’t have any reason to think he was.

@ferrismattic Much like my oldest son.

Guy who thinks the third verse of B-I-N-G-O is a psyop to brainwash our children to support nongovernmental organizations.

I’m thinking about selling a browser plug-in that replaces all instances of “the Reformed” with “the perineally tempted”

Just to make the point clearer, this is a version of the ancient practice of child exposure, except the babies are very, very tiny and you don't have to look at them.

@andrewboonedog I still sing the songs from my childhood.

@David_Mahfood I don’t know if it’s a deceptive euphemism to mask the horror of what’s actually happening or if it’s just the result of some particularly bad philosophy. Maybe she sees the process as a neognostic (sorry) style shopping trip for the flesh sack she’s going to upload her kid into.

I’m going to become 10% more RC about sex every time someone tries to drive a wedge between it and procreation.

Sex is for fun. Embryo screening is for babies.
I said that in a video.
People freaked out.
But it’s true. And it will only get more true as the tech improves.
We screen for what matters. And nothing matters more than health.

Preschool field trip to grocery store. Wife is texting me profile pictures of Lucy’s friends’ moms so I can pretend to know people.
