Of course I didn’t say or even imply that you’re reviewing our books. Rather, you are passing judgment on our views detailed and fully supported in our books without reading them. It is irresponsible to presume that you know our views well enough to simply dismiss the task of reading them. It sounds like you don’t have the patience to do the homework required to make responsible sweeping statements. Maybe you don’t have much experience making sustained arguments for your own views, but you shouldn’t assume that others are as lazy and freewheeling as that. And writing self-published fantasy fiction for a handful of people doesn’t do much to establish credentials as a thoughtful critic seeking to be a social influencer.

Jacob, I hope your followers are tracking this. You’ve admitted that you haven’t read our books while smugly asserting that you know we’re wrong. You cannot be taken seriously, except by people who will not think for themselves. You excuse behavior you chastise in others. For example, you have called film commentators Siskel & Ebert blowhards and said you doubt they even watched all the films they reviewed. Now you’re posturing as an authoritative reviewer of our work while openly admitting that you haven’t read it. May God have mercy.

Jacob, your past experience with Bethel Church in Redding does not make you a reliable authority. All those who have left Bethel and abandoned its noxious teachings and practices, including some with leadership involvement, testify to this. And you can be sure there are plenty at Bethel now who have grave misgivings about what they‘ve gotten themselves into. Some will have the courage to join the growing throng of witnesses to the spiritual and emotional trauma that has been documented. May I ask you a direct question, have you even read our books *Counterfeit Kingdom* and *Reckless Christianity*?

@philvischer You didn't mention, Phil, that these are our extreme leftwing Catholic brothers and sisters. People shouldn't be made to think that all of Catholic Christendom agrees with NCR.

@philvischer Joe Biden was cruel, and he's "Catholic"

Some people seem to think that a vote for a particular presidential candidate entails the voter’s belief that the candidate is worthy of the office. But why think that?

@LifeWithoutLack @HollyPivec NARlies have additional reasons for being pro-MAGA. Their seven-mountain mandate dovetails with their perception of MAGA, and their prophets, though abominably errant, have seized on Trump as the witting or unwitting advocate for their dominionist cause.

[Doug Geivett @DougGeivett]

@LifeWithoutLack @HollyPivec MAGA would fail without "evangelicals," and the evangelicals it appeals to include non-NAR evangelicals who are profoundly irritated about "wokism," both inside and outside the church.

[Doug Geivett @DougGeivett]

@LifeWithoutLack @HollyPivec This assumes that MAGA has a "theological background." Not sure what that means, but MAGA doesn't have to have a theological basis to be what it is. It's a populist movement among conservatives, many of whom are "evangelicals" of varying stripes.

With just over 30 days left until the presidential election, #NAR soothsayers like #KrisVallotton, #LanceWallnau, and so many others are still playing it safe.

When John Kirby says, “Well, Martha, the world is at an inflection point,” what he means is, “You’re right, Martha, the world is currently confronted with unprecedented international chaos.” #marthamacallum #johnkirby

@PDavidCMcGuire @HollyPivec Spiritual discernment comes with growth in the fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5), which is a product of faithful obedience to the commands of God revealed in Scripture. Such discernment is also reflected in proper interpretation of Scripture, including 1 Cor. 2:14.

@PDavidCMcGuire @HollyPivec @JoshBuice @jimcosman2 Again, on what basis have you concluded that I’m a cessationist?

@IdlemanShane @Floridaline @MrWanMath1 @HollyPivec @DrMichaelLBrown @gospel_american You’re right, it was low-hanging fruit. Cherries, anyone?

@mrssusanmorales @DrMichaelLBrown @HollyPivec If you falsely accuse someone of slander, is that slander?

[Doug Geivett @DougGeivett]

@mrssusanmorales @DrMichaelLBrown @HollyPivec Maybe check the dictionary before you use the word slander?
