@EddyEkofo "The Christian should speak the words of Scripture under the authority of Scripture, and according to that form which Scripture itself illustrates."

-- John Wycliffe (1330-1384)

He responded to the maze of philosophical abstractions, which didn't appeal to what God revealed.

@RealDonMarshall It really did look like a dystopian movie set mimicking the 3rd Reich, along with the unhinged delivery.

Very intentional.

@emilykschrader Well, one thing is good.
Now we know there's no way this guy should be President.

I'm just gonna say that if a work of fiction makes you question your faith, you never had faith, in the Biblical sense of that verb and noun.

[Ken Ham @aigkenham]

When I teach children about dinosaurs, creation, and evolution, I like to ask them these questions:

“Has any human being always been there?” They answer, “No.”

“Has any scientist always been there?” They answer, “No.”

“Does any human being know everything?” They answer, “No.”

“Does any scientist know everything?” They answer, “No.”

“Who is the only one who has always been there?” They shout out, “God.”

“Who is the only one who knows everything?” They shout out, “God.”

I then ask:

“Who is the one we should always trust first? God or the scientist?” They call out “God.”

And I could add, “Who should we always trust first, God, the scientist, the theologian, the teacher, the pastor, the professor?” And the answer will always be “God.”

Yes, we should always start with the Word of the God who knows everything, has always been there, and who has never made a mistake.

@Xtopher_Uzo Yes, but ultimately that 'ad populum' doesn't matter.

Unitarianism, of which JWs constitute the major branch, is exegetically **impossible** from the Bible.

(And they don't have a single, competent OL exegete on Earth who is qualified to dispute this.)

If you want to understand our day, you must understand the ancient term misology.

Misology is the hatred or distrust of reason, logic, and rational argument. It is the tendency to reject careful thinking and treat truth claims as matters of emotion, power, or personal preference rather than evidence and sound reasoning.

[Dr. Michael J. Svigel @Svigel]

Theology 101: Reckless pessimism leads to passivity and surrender to despair. But reckless optimism can be blind to real problems and fail to prepare for unavoidable tragedy. The balance is optimistic cynicism—cynical about human motives and abilities but optimistic that God still works in, through, with, and often in spite of us.

[Brian Reynolds @wordsofthislife]

In John 10 the devil is described by Christ, the Good Shepherd, in three ways:
1. A stranger v. 5
2. The thief v. 10
3. The wolf v. 12

[BX @bXsurf]

@DrJackHughes @bartbarber Yes!

[John Klink, Jr. @EagleAndSparrow]

The basic reply is that Mormons believe like the 1st Cent. before the 4th Cent. creeds.

But there is no way to get from the text of the Bible to: "Yahweh" was a human that came from Kolob, Jesus and Lucifer are brothers, or Jesus came to America, without 19th Century fiction.

[Squirrel @ShinarSquirrel]

If the Book of Mormon was true, the Ohio River Valley would rival the Nile Valley for evidence of ancient civilization.

It doesn’t.

I can promise you it won't. Not even for a second.

[Ron DeSantis @RonDeSantis]

No. Washington earned the esteem and admiration of his countrymen first by winning the war and then by surrendering his sword rather than seize power after the improbable victory.

The American people followed him because they trusted him. It wasn’t rooted in his “personality,” but in his example and in his deeds.

@lor2201 @GenFlynn Flynn knows exactly what Lynch is, which is why he’s using him. Remember, Flynn was an Obama appointee and a Trump reject who makes his money lobbying for the likes of Russia, Turkey, and Egypt. Receipts tomorrow if anyone’s interested. Right now I have to get some shuteye!
