@ScottAniol Isn’t everyday the Lord’s day? Or if there is a specific day, why would it not be Saturday, per the 10 commandments? Is it really that simple?
@christineyyl I think you’re on to something! Very insightful. Your point is also a wider commentary on other ills within the white evangelical movement.
@christineyyl Such a good question. I think it is in the name of “protecting the witness of the church” with a somewhat deluded belief that the harm can be dealt with quietly. What do you think the reason is?
If your conclusion is: everyone else for all of history is wrong except for exactly what we think now then you are just a product of your time, which is sad.
@philvischer@WokePreacherTV Phil, I tend to agree with and appreciate points you raise. But on this one, the level of having to explain and re explain what you meant might warrant an apology or something similar.
Thanks to @AmandaTylerBJC for making the important point that it’s not anti-Christian to challenge the distortions of faith that scholars call “Christian nationalism.” The Bible’s pretty clear that challenging false prophets is a basic & necessary practice of Christianity.
1) More and more reports are emerging of Twitter's security vulnerabilities since @elonmusk's takeover of the social media platform a few weeks ago, as well as efforts to hack the accounts of certified journalists. In this thread, I will survey how unsafe Twitter has become.
No matter if you think @yoyoel did an amazing or terrible job at Twitter, or have no opinion at all, what @elonmusk did to him yesterday was both dangerous and disgusting.
It’s the sort of thing that would cause most boards to call a special meeting. But Twitter doesn’t have one
@ZachWLambert@JoelWBerry Joel, unlike Zach, your ilk promotes an American Xianity of 50-100 years ago w/many of same cultural norms of slave holders. I’m incredulous hearingyou claim continuity w/ abolitionists when I don’t hear you fighting for justice today other than re abortion. Yikes.
@JoelWBerry@ZachWLambert Joel, you’ve convinced yourself that American White Syncretistic Christianity, with its right wing, pro gun, gender norm baggage is the way of Jesus. Many would disagree. And, in one tweet you claim humility, in another u ignore ur own blind spots and accuse someone of hubris.
