@LiangRhea Children deserve protection and should not have their life ended regardless of their traits, abilities, disabilities, sex, future beliefs, or future identity.
@Starbucks Huge shoutout to the team at River Town Plaza in Guaynabo, PR. A customer had a medical emergency at the drive-thru and your staff handled it with so much care, and compassion. They called emergency services and even covered the orders of those of us stuck waiting. 🫶🏼
@ophello@Wendyinspanish@Ahmed_hassan_za “Imagine others arrive and see you like this”
“OK, OK you need to calm down so that you can make it home safe to care for your children. Calm down.”
[unintelligible]
“I WANT TO GO HOME!”
“What was it you saw?”
“Many children like stacks in a truck! I want to get out of here!”
@michaelgorvitz1@ByronYork If Soleimani was injured to the point of Hors de combat, yes, it would have been illegal. The proper thing would be to take him into custody, treat him, and then put him on trial. However, in this case, the first strike was most likely already a violation of international law.

@yeshuabendavid Ignoring that textual scholarship points to evidence that 1Cor14:34 is most likely a later scribal addition prob bc Greek law required women to be silent in public meetings, how do you reconcile 1Cor. 11:5,13; 14:5, 24, 26, 31, 39, Acts 2:17, 21:8-9 with the apparent prohibition?
@yeshuabendavid 2) Guaranteed? You are assuming. Saying the prophetesses never addressed the church is an argument from silence. If prophecy is Spirit-given for the edification of the church (1 Cor. 14:3) wouldn’t it be odd for them to be recognized prophetesses but never prophesy publicly?
@yeshuabendavid 1) If “pray/prophesy” is in corporate public worship (1 Cor 11:5), then we can agree that Paul assumes women speak in the assembly. My question is, why would reading Scripture be more restricted than prophecy (1 Cor 14:3)?
@yeshuabendavid @JohnStSomething And every woman who prays or prophesies with her hair loosened disgraces her head. It is one and the same as having been shaved. - 1 Corinthians 11:5
Now this man had four virgin daughters who were prophetesses. -Acts 21:9
@xtianherring Not all theological error is sinful. I thank God I am not saved by my right understanding of theology. I thank God I am not condemned as an unrepentant sinner because I do not fully comprehend the mysteries of the Trinity, the sacraments, or the timing of Christ’s return.
@xtianherring Members are those who have been baptized and admitted to the Lord’s table by the session (BCO 6-4). Members do not need to subscribe to WCF or affirm vows in the BCO.
Officers do need to subscribe to WCF, and so neglect of that sacrament as understood in WCF is sin.
