@ArtGuy313578051 I’ll probably do Hebrew too eventually, but it’ll be Greek first and Latin second, I want to give my kids a good understanding of the classics so I’ve got to stay ahead of them. My 7 year old has just started the Greek in Duolingo.

@jason_howerton @Glinner How many months did it take for him to grow that 2-day stubble?

@marcxgajeton I think anyone complaining about it should be forced to chant the whole Book of Concord.

@vintagemapstore Hurry up and melt it all so we can get to see all the Atlantean ruins finally.

@AmerRef1517 @___mithrandir_ @redeemed_zoomer has more subscribers to his YouTube channel than like all of Lutheran YouTube combined, literally, and if he is given good information he'll try to honestly represent other viewpoints.

@ZGood99 @bonifacegroup Lutherans are not Primitive Baptists. We “sola” not “solo” scriptura. The three ancient ecumenical creeds are essential to Lutheran Christianity.

@ion_eyes Beholde, heere is a pho-tograph of mee in Anno Domini MMCCCLXIV, expounding vnto the Space Baptistes, with my King James Bible, that they muste baptise their space babes.

@ion_eyes But yeah, if I’m stuck with just one translation, I’m hanging out with the IFB guys and my Olde Style KJV. I wonder if CPH ever made an KJV Lutheran Study Bible.

@LutheranAnswers In a rare Mormon W, they have much lower rates, like most religious people of any religion. BUT, if they convert to Lutheranism, they could keep that and also be correct about theology too. And they could also start drinking coffee.

@RichJamJr @kevinrhodes @MDC_online A @WyzeCam is like $30, make the fine for being stupid at least $500.

@RichJamJr @kevinrhodes @MDC_online They should hide a camera, get people’s license plates, introduce them to severe legal consequences, simple.

[Chris Gore @cgore]

@DarthHarryson That does look nice. Yeah I might pick that up at some point. I have more than a few premium Bibles.

My favorite dialogue in all of classical history is in Xenophon’s Anabasis, when ten thousand Greek mercenaries are stranded on a hill a thousand miles away from Greece and surrounded by Persian troops, and a messenger from the Persian King approaches their leader Clearchus and their convo goes something like (paraphrasing):

Messenger: “The King demands you surrender your weapons.”

Clearchus: “Tell me then, are we to be friends or enemies?”

Messenger: “You have no hope of resisting. Surrender your weapons.”

Clearchus: “Because if we are to be friends, we shall be better friends with our weapons than without them. And if we are to be enemies, likewise we shall be better enemies with our weapons than without them. Tell this to your King.”

Messenger: “Very well. But the King has bidden me tell you one more thing: As long as you remain on this hill, there is to be a truce. But if you take one step off of it, there will be war. Which will it be?”

Clearchus: “Tell the King that we agree.”

Messenger: “What? Which do you choose? Will there be peace or war?”

Clearchus: “Peace if we stay, war if we leave.”

Those Greeks were smart.

To those who say I'm a conspiracy theorist or antisemitic for what I post about AIPAC and Israeli influence:

Genuine question. Where is your red line?

Congress just moved to legally merge our military with Israel's. American citizens serving in the IDF would get the same legal protections as U.S. troops. First time in history. For any country.
If that's not it, what is? What would have to happen for you to say "that's too much" or "that's not in America's interest"?

I'm not asking rhetorically. I want to know because every time a new line gets crossed, the line moves.

So where is yours?
