In hockey, Nick Lidstrom is the greatest player since Gordie Howe. In theology, I'm low church with a high view of Scripture. Servant of the servants of God.
@drantbradley There are none. Most of the controversial mainline people are difficult because of what they refuse to say. So the controversy is a low, background frustration that never really flares up.
@EvanWelcher I was reading yesterday in John 11, and I was struck by the fact that Jesus isn’t just alive, or just resurrected. He IS life. He’s more alive than we can imagine. He’s so alive he can reverse death. He is, indeed, alive.
@pastor_adam@Twitter It's an attitude. The fact that social media is the only place you can find someone to actually engage doesn't mean that the root isn't always there.
To stay away from Christianity because part of the Bible's teaching is offensive to you assumes that, if there is a God, he wouldn't reveal any teachings that upset you. Does that belief make sense?
“The universal church, of which the local church should be a reflection, is composed of all who belong to Jesus Christ, for in Him all are one.” Geisler, ST 1101
@HansFiene I’m not in your denomination, but I feel the great divide for many of us is loving the confessions and the organic reality of our community, and really struggling with the organizations & structures.
@testing521 I was recently thinking that self-control is one of the core Christian virtues that a lot of people view as a vice. It may be one of the more significant things that no one has noticed.
@LuebbenC @bendellwerry@USAMagistra That's almost disappointing. I was kind of hoping it went Paul dictating "I didn't baptize anyone other than those two" and then Luke is standing there and says "No, you also did the household of Stephanas" and Timothy is sitting there asking "So do I write that?"
@DennyBurk Yeah, because the code isn't the paper, it's essentially an aggregator. You're still relying on all the other writers whose stuff you fed into the system in order to "teach" it to write that way.
