Family of Hermits. We're like Hobbits, except more isolated and with slightly less hair on our feet.

🧵 There is some great data in the recent Nature Medicine article by Bowe et al regarding risks associated with repeat COVID infections. See this quote for a helpful overview of their findings:

@alancornett , is this fellow any relation to you?

[A Meier @ameier]

@IFFFMEISTER @Andres_Treley Sounds like universal reconciliation needs to enter the chat

[A Meier @ameier]

@thaddeusthought Is this an endorsement or critique of the displayed book?

[A Meier @ameier]

@alancornett @StarkConor In what way(s)?

[A Meier @ameier]

@alancornett @StarkConor Anecdotally, the One True Church idea seems to hopefully be running its course. But we've hopped over to an "institutional" coc and this particular one at least tends to be less exclusivist.

@alancornett @StarkConor Where the historical bulk that has developed in different traditions are seen as neither inherently good or bad and can be judged based on their fruitfulness without being required dogmas or heresies.

[A Meier @ameier]

@alancornett @StarkConor As a Cambell-lite, I'd push back a little on a Trail of Blood demand. I'd cautiously suggest that regardless of "salvation status" and the path to current state, the potential beauty of Protestantism lies in its recognition of a foundational simplicity of Christian faith...

@spellgage Did you have a Garmin device on for a sleep score or body battery % by any chance?

[A Meier @ameier]

This is the Twitter I miss. Two of my faves going on as if it is 2020. Lyman even getting back into the mortality data on my TL. Reminds me of the good old days...

[Spellgage @spellgage]

Lord forgive me, I have participated in David and Bathsheba discourse a week before Christmas.

[A Meier @ameier]

@spellgage Silly COC-er, examples are for apostles.

[A Meier @ameier]

@alancornett I hear ya. I'm trying to find a way to motivate myself through these dark months.

[A Meier @ameier]

@Katapetasma2 It's hard to appeal to OT violence when you have passages like Rom 12:17-21.

[A Meier @ameier]

@spellgage 5 inches is the sweet spot.

[A Meier @ameier]

@spellgage 18 (me) and 19 (her)

@BaxterWilliams_ Marriage/Divorce/Remarriage is hotly debated within Christianity even among those that take a very high/"literal"/inerrant view of scripture.

[A Meier @ameier]

Jesus goes further in Matt 5:43-48. Just as God blesses both the righteous and the wicked with sunshine and rain, we are to love our brothers and enemies. We are to be perfect as our heavenly Father is perfect.

[Katapetasma @Katapetasma2]

The fact that in the Bible "love of neighbor" is limited and not universal does not mean that disciples of Jesus are not also called to love their enemies by letting them rob them, exploit them, hurt them, and kill them without retaliation or resistance.

[A Meier @ameier]

@Katapetasma2 I get what you are saying, I think doubling/tripling down is a little much when it lends to appearances (I hope without merit) that you are in support of those who are openly racist and who support treating certain people groups as less than fully human.

[A Meier @ameier]

@Katapetasma2 @IFFFMEISTER What is your opinion on "only begotten" being a poor translation of monogenes? You've got a lot of hot takes so I figure you may have one here as well.

[A Meier @ameier]

Still in a church of Christ. Unfortunately this is not a unique circumstance among churches of Christ (the restoration movement). Thankful for people like Nancy for speaking up.

University Church of Christ in Murray KY has (sort of) responded to my complaint over them allowing a sex predator to preach and run their AA program. /1
