@redsteeze How is this a real person.

Alistair Begg on knowing vs. feeling in worship.

This is magnificent.

@hongan_os @AmyRhody @ImKingGinger @BaddCompani Yes, one of the best examples. I only got as a far as Exodus, and even then there are some I skipped. I have read some who suggest Melchizedek was a Theophany.

[Ian Gilbert @ian_gilbert_]

@AmyRhody @ImKingGinger @BaddCompani @hongan_os There are other examples. Christians interpret these Old Testament appearances of God in human-ish form to be appearances of God the Son, i.e., Jesus. Here is more information and examples: https://t.co/uyrrvaGJTH

@AmyRhody @ImKingGinger @BaddCompani @hongan_os Genesis Chapter 3, God appears in the garden. Genesis 12:7 and 17:1, God appears to Abram. Exodus 24 “Moses and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up [Mount Sinai], and they saw the God of Israel.” These are called Theophanies.

One of my favourite things about the world is that, every now and then as a special treat, we get to see the semi-divine avatar of the sun goddess Amaterasu ride in an open carriage with the Supreme Governor of the Church of England, who is also a descendant of Woden.

@altofroxire @ConquestofAsyr @childe_hourly Arabs and Jews have a common ancestor in Abraham, Jesus was descended through the line of Isaac and Jacob, not Ishmael. I think this is what both Jews and Muslims believe.

@charlescwcooke but how many people are we talking about here??? Was there a single black woman in London they found who had died of the plague, and did they conclude from that a 100% death rate? I just want to know!

Give us some raw data, I promise we can handle it.

[Ian Gilbert @ian_gilbert_]

@charlescwcooke I'm more than willing to entertain the idea that being a different race or religion could corelate with poor sanitation in medieval England (or any time for that matter), and we know poor sanitation was a major factor behind the plague...

@sunnyright @washingtonpost Lest anybody think there could be some extenuating circumstance that justifies the asymmetry, the book they wanted to ban is "To Kill a Mockingbird".

@redsteeze "expelled...with no warning"

Being expelled is a warning - a warning to a charge of illegal trespass.

@Andrewnsnyder Congrats on getting to read it for the first time :)

@jarvis_best This would seem to be something that should please both the right and the left - our issue is with the ideology of the CCP, not the Chinese people. Plus, PROC is not the only ethnically or semantically Chinese nation (see Singapore and Taiwan).

@awstar11 I don't care who it is as long as it isn't Trump or Vivek. Honestly Doug Burgum is everything I want in an executive. It is just a shame that he has totally maxed out in North Dakota with nowhere else to go. Leaning towards Haley, but what matters is it isn't Trump.

@Advo_Katy When our first daughter (now 10) was born, one of the most vivid memories I have was when I (dad) first held her in those initial minutes and started talking: she sort of jolted, got real quiet, and started to open her eyes and look around. She recognized my voice.

@luinalaska A church with only four children is a church in need of some serious self-examination.

[Ian Gilbert @ian_gilbert_]

@AppalachiaAesth Might be a generational thing.

[Ian Gilbert @ian_gilbert_]

@AppalachiaAesth My grandmother's honeymoon was almost cut short by Pearl Harbor. She ended up getting pregnant each time Grandpa was on home leave. Spent the rest of her life raising five children and tending to the family homestead. No time for mini skirts and Janis Joplin.
