I love my wife, my 3 children, serving @NewCityChurchGR, Linux, the Boston Celtics, & cycling. I make hot sauces. @Dawnex says I'm the World's Okayest Husband.

@6Hogg6 @_nelasoul I get so tired of look-away passes on highlight reels. You looked at the dude, passed the ball, then looked away. That's not a no-look pass. People are starved for true greatness.

Half. That is, half the time I don't finish because, well, meh. Who cares…

[Prello @DPrello]

As a Gen Xer how many times have you started typing a reply to a post, gotten halfway through, and then realized you just don’t care enough to finish it?

Theology 101: Throughout history, the revelation of God, his works, and his ways have come to us by a variety of authoritative means.

Your favorite media outlet is not one of them.

[Danielle (Dani) Treweek @danitreweek]

This is excellent. It explains (historically, theologically, and exegetically) why making disciples is quite clearly not the same thing as “fighting for and keeping a Christian culture” in one’s nation.

“In short, Christianity exploded because believers proclaimed the gospel in Word and Sacrament, repented of sins considered normal, looked after each other’s spiritual and material needs with assiduous care—one-by-one—and welcomed outsiders. No revolution. No marches or insurrections. Just a consistent message and way of life that repaid evil with good.”

@samuelbienemy @nbarealist23 When I pointed out he joined two superstar MVP candidates, you could have said, “Yeah; I guess he was betting on them, too”. You didn't. You kept arguing that he bet on himself. Who is insisting on a narrative?

Have a nice day.

[J-T Richards @JT_Richards]

@samuelbienemy @nbarealist23 You said he bet on himself. He did not. He bet on two MVP candidates.

[J-T Richards @JT_Richards]

@samuelbienemy @nbarealist23 None of that changes the reality that LeBron joined two players who received MVP votes. He didn't "bet on himself"; he bet on two MVP-candidates.

[J-T Richards @JT_Richards]

@Don956746234971 @fe32k @JamesBejon You said Revelation is not prophecy. John, who wrote Revelation, said it is. Your refusal to acknowledge your very basic and very fundamental error is telling. All this other stuff you're posting is irrelevant.

[J-T Richards @JT_Richards]

Um…Bronny's under an actual contract. How could they sign a player under contract with another team to a two-way contract?

[Basketball Forever @bballforever_]

The Miami Heat would reportedly be open to signing Bronny James to a two-way contract if they land LeBron James 🔥👀

@justinbrewer33 @samuelbienemy @nbarealist23 (Shhh…this goes against LeNarrative…)

[J-T Richards @JT_Richards]

@samuelbienemy @nbarealist23 He didn't bet on himself. He bet on two other guys who received MVP votes the season before.

[J-T Richards @JT_Richards]

@Don956746234971 @fe32k @JamesBejon Again, this does not mean it isn't prophecy, particularly when the author says it is, in fact, a word of prophecy. Prophecy is far more than predicting the future.

[J-T Richards @JT_Richards]

@Don956746234971 @fe32k @JamesBejon This response has nothing to do with the meaning of “prophecy”. You claim it is not prophecy; the author say says it is.

[J-T Richards @JT_Richards]

@fe32k @Don956746234971 @JamesBejon The author of Revelation disagrees with him.
“Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near.” (Revelation 1:3)

His issue is he's misunderstanding what “prophecy” means.

[J-T Richards @JT_Richards]

@Don956746234971 @Svigel Just so I understand: John says he wrote prophecy, but you, a random on the internet, says John was wrong. Okay. Have a nice day.

[J-T Richards @JT_Richards]

@Don956746234971 @Svigel Some guy named John disagrees: “Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy” Revelation 1:3.

[J-T Richards @JT_Richards]

@Svigel That is carefully worded. Far more are deceived by date-setting than by full preterism, hence is date-setting is more deceptive. Full preterism is heresy, hence full preterism is more dangerous. Hmm… Tricky question!

[J-T Richards @JT_Richards]

Good news: the greatest player in history ended his career in Washington, and there's no chance he'll come out of retirement to play anywhere, let alone Minnesota. #MJ

[Coconut Tree Faller Outer Ofer @Cam_Oflage]

I am small markets' strongest soldier but we cannot have the greatest player in history ending his career with a random stint on the "Minnesota Timberwolves"
