@h_um_ble_ @YourCalvinist So you're saying she didn't take the pill and celebrate killing her baby?

[Jeremy @jpar1983]

@TGC We don't argue like this for any other kind of murder. Equal weights and measures.
“Every prosecution of a woman would require a probing, detailed examination of her mens rea, her state of mind.” Duh, this should be normal for every criminal prosecution. Don't excuse murder.

[Jeremy @jpar1983]

@ProphetUnaziO @howertonjosh Or he can walk and chew gum at the same time. It is possible to promote Christ as the only true hope of humanity and also promote practical (political) means by which God wants us to govern ourselves.

@howertonjosh @JoshuaBarzon Something like "When I pray, I don't say anything. I listen." "What does God say?" "He doesn't say anything. He listens."
Wow, super deep. Nope, just absurd.
"This, then, is how you should pray. Our father..." Seems like Jesus didn't just listen.

[Jeremy @jpar1983]

@howertonjosh @JoshuaBarzon Going through the videos with our small group and I'm seeing some red flags.
1. He frames hurry as THE great evil in the church. It can be a problem, but really it's symptomatic.
2. Mother Teresa quote at the end of session 2, supposed to sound profound, but really it's absurd.

@YourCalvinist Theological novelty is usually synonymous with theological heresy. If you think you've found something in the text that nobody's ever found before, you better make sure you aren't just looking in a mirror.

@howertonjosh I'd be a lot stronger on A. Implying (subtly or not) that interracial marriage is wrong is a denigration of the image of God by drawing lines against your fellow men or women that God did not.

[Jeremy @jpar1983]

@JoshHamrick10 @intj68 @howertonjosh Or a natural tendency to prefer the familiar, i.e. someone that looks like what one grew up around. There's nothing wrong with that.

Why only white towards black? That's a racist statement.

[Jeremy @jpar1983]

@intj68 @howertonjosh Preferences are natural and apply across all areas of life. Like all areas of life, they can be sinful, and we need to watch for that, but if a person finds themselves more or less attracted to a particular skin color for no sinful reason then I think that's totally fine.

[Jeremy @jpar1983]

@JoshuaBarzon "The Passion Translation says..."
Bethel/Elevation music
Secular music at any point, but especially during service - literally went to a church once that opened with a Queen song
"Bart Ehrman/Richard Rohr/Rob Bell/Bill Johnson/Kenneth Copeland/Joyce Meyer says..."

[Jeremy @jpar1983]

@88mph121 @MasonSCraig Except common sense.
Immaculate conception = Mary is Jesus' only earthly parent
Brothers = sons of the same parent, of which there is only one option
All us prots do is use the brains and the scriptures God gave us. It isn't complicated. Why on earth would RCs die on this hill?

[Jeremy @jpar1983]

@pudicat11 @thisisfoster Not any earthen vessel will do, or perhaps not any earthen vessel should do. There are qualifications in scripture, i.e. a man of one wife, above reproach, keeps his household in order etc. There are a lot of us earthen vessels who lack divinely given qualifications.

[Jeremy @jpar1983]

@jacobmentzel If they won't stop doing it because it's evil, maybe they'll stop because it's too financially risky

[Jeremy @jpar1983]

@YourCalvinist Can you link to the original video? @howertonjosh has undergone some changes in the last several years, not sure if he'd stand by this anymore. Seriously though, Paula White is soooooo bad.

[Jeremy @jpar1983]

@rvannest @ReadBakerBooks Seems appropriate considering you taught my Johannine Lit class at Union. I look forward to these and will recommend them for my small group!

[Jeremy @jpar1983]

@howertonjosh @RealPJGlassey I recognize that I'm a normal person with flaws, weaknesses, and the potential for a lack of self control in the wrong circumstances. A wise man implements guardrails first, they don't wait until after the crash. I think of it like a moral Dunning-Kruger effect.

[Jeremy @jpar1983]

@howertonjosh Christianity is the greatest good possible, both for the individual and the collective. It is government's role and responsibility to promote the greatest good possible for the collective and the individual.
I made this far too complicated for most of my life up to now.

[Jeremy @jpar1983]

@howertonjosh Agree with all of your pro-dp reasons from the pod, but would add one. Capital punishment is just and right. It benefits society for all of your reasons, but it is also the just consequence for certain crimes, and it would be just and right even if it provided no other benefit.
