Single Chinese man commissions triplet babies. Doesn't show up when they're born. Eventually sends two sketchy guys in a black SUV to collect them. Mother refuses.

She doesn't hear from him for a year and a half.

One triplet dies from RSV complications. She mourns like the grieving mother she is.

She and her husband are now fighting for custody. But he filed a challenge and now the babies are in foster care.

Welcome to the global baby trade. #Surrogacy.

@johnsaponaro It's not just one night, it's every organization, every sports team and it's all month. It's the christians duty to resist evil and pride.

@CrushnSerpents @MikeWingerii Also, further evidence Eusebius reports on historical events that are even contrary to the papacy. Victor, the bishop of Rome, wants to excommunicate the entire Asian church because they disagree on when to celebrate Easter. Ireneaous and other bishops sharply rebuked Victor.

[Jake Bates @mere_theology]

@CrushnSerpents @MikeWingerii Because you have an arbitrary list of names does not mean the papacy goes back that far or is biblical. For example the papacy is not found in scripture, nor can be argued for by scripture. Another Example, Eusebius' church history doesn't mention the papacy.

@BearCatsGoDown If you don't agree with someone then you hate them?

They turned off comments. But what this sounds like is , "In order to defend and promote our lifestyle we are going to make the child sacrifice the right to their father. This makes us feel better about ourselves. "

@RepDexterOR you know whats traumatizing children and funded by tax dollars? mutilating their bodies, poisoning them, dismembering them, and ripping their flesh to pieces. That is all funded by our tax dollars. Please focus on that.

[Mike Winger @MikeWingerii]

The Passion Translation even copy/pastes a spelling error from the spurious and heretical work The Mirror Bible.

Wow.

So, to be clear, he not only plagiarizes the work of others but does so from the heretical Bible translation of a guy who doesn’t know the original languages either. As if that wasn’t enough he includes a spelling error from that work.

All of this while telling audiences that God is supernaturally revealing secrets of Hebrew and Greek to him.

@JamieBonkiewicz are you not trying to force your lifestyle on other people?

[Jake Bates @mere_theology]

@aprilajoyr Are you seriously advocating for 8 year old girls to uncover themselves? And that children are more safe watching adult men twerking in seductive and sexual clothing?

[Jake Bates @mere_theology]

@ToubabPreacher Yes they would.

[Jake Bates @mere_theology]

@TheMikeSeebeck @Brcremer Where in scripture does it ordain women to teach, preach, and oversee the church?

[Jake Bates @mere_theology]

@aprilajoyr Women flourish and are most valued in Christian circles and society. Christ set up authority structures in the family and church according to his design. It's a matter of difference in role not a difference in value.

@loriburkhart Lori, it seems you are trying to get people to conform to your agenda? Is that not what you are accusing Katy of doing?

Instead of being hypocritical, you should just acknowledge that and compare the ideas based on merit.

Oregon’s initiative process can be a powerful check on government — but it can also pass bad laws when voters don’t pay attention. IP 28 could be another costly lesson.

@BaptistWomen So do you not follow God's word ?
