"In the Bible" we see no such thing, actually. ΟΟΞ΅ΟΞ²ΟΟΞ΅ΟΞΏΟ is used interchangeably with αΌΟΞ―ΟΞΊΞΏΟΞΏΟ (Acts 20:17/20:28) as they refer to the same office. It is NEVER used interchangeably with αΌ±Ξ΅ΟΞ΅ΟΟ as Robinson asserts here. This is later tradition, not Apostolic teaching. But, remember...this is an NXR official speaker, along with "Pastor" Webbon who, according to Robinson, isn't a pastor at all. Really makes me wonder how that mess holds together. I KNOW what one of the chief architects of NXR *used* to believe about people like Robinson. Must be chewing his tongue off not going after this kind of stuff.

The feathers of a Bald Eagle have more protection and sacredness than the organs of a human in the womb.
Bald Eagle eggs have more rights than pre-born humans.
Maybe they have to apologise because if we promote cousin marriage, then more children can be conceived with genetic abnormalitiesβ¦β¦ and the wicked society can advocate for further child sacrifice (euphemism being the name of reproductive healthβ¦. Or in reality we call it abortion / murder) Evil evil evil!
@MikeWingerii Enjoy your rest with Alison, and we are all praying for you! (And very grateful at the hundreds of hours we can rewatch while youβre off!) x
To abort your unborn child because they have Downβs syndrome is discrimination before birth, and it is murder.
This is eugenics in principle. If people believe itβs morally right, why are they so uncomfortable with precise language?
Letβs call it what it is, and quit the verbal engineering.

This week, my wife and I made the very difficult decision to terminate the pregnancy due to Trisomy 21.
The choice was not made lightly. We really appreciate all of the personal stories that you guys shared with us, especially the unconditional support we received from fans with no matter what we decided.
I know some of you may be very disappointed to hear this news. We are devastated. This has been extremely traumatic for both of us, especially Ashley.
She underwent the procedure earlier this week and is on the mend. Thankfully, everything went smoothly, but emotionally we are drained.
Trisomy 21, also known as Down Syndrome, is caused by an extra chromosome. It is caused by an error in cell division, like a glitch. The odds of a baby having it is 1 in 1000.
When I first confronted this news, I was shocked but optimistic. If theyβre a little slow intellectually, then weβll make it work. I signed on to be a parent, come what mayβ¦but I just didnβt fully understand what Down Syndrome entailed.
Once we made it public, it became clear that MOST people donβt know what Down Syndrome entails (and no, itβs not the same as Autism):
50% of babies with DS have heart defects. 75% will have hearing challenges. Over 50% will have vision problems. Impaired immune function, developmental disabilities, learning disabilities, delayed physical development, poor muscle tone, structural issues with face, decreased lifespan, etcβ¦Sadly, the list is long, feel free to look it upβ¦Down Syndome isnβt a βblessingβ, it is objectively shitty from a health perspective.
I didnβt realize just how rough it is for the child, let alone the familyβ¦more often than not, they would be fully dependent on others for the rest of their life.
The miscarriage risk is also close to 50%, which made matters worseβ¦they may never see the light of day and it puts Ashley further at risk.
We spoke with doctors, friends, family and genetic counselors and learned that up to 90% of women terminate their pregnancy after learning the baby has Trisomy 21.
This was WAY higher than I expected, I thought it would be lower given that I hear so many say they kept or would keep the baby. I believe thatβs because most terminations happen privately, it feels shameful. A lot of judgment being cast.
You never think youβd be in this type of situation until it happens to you and then things change.
To all of my fans who have weighed in on this topic who have Autism, Down Syndrome or any other conditionsβ¦we appreciate you. You matter a lot and weβre glad youβre here. I commend you and your families for having the strength and courage to push forward.
As for us, we made a difficult decision that we believe in the long-run will be beneficial for our family. Thankfully, we had a choice.
It will take a little time to move on, but we are excited to try again in the future and hopefully have a better outcome.
Love you guys & thank you for understanding. β€οΈ
@mochaberry14@TMZ Murder is never better. Thatβs a utilitarian view, and pure eugenics. All life has value and dignity. And it is not dependent on a disability or ability
β¦. this is awesome! @Logos is incredible for deeper Bible study, and my learning and theology has deepened greatly! Totally recommend, what a blessing it is to have this incredible software
The Exegetical Guide in Logos surfaces lexical data, syntactical analysis, and discourse structure the moment you open a passage. No searching. It's just there. Try it free: https://t.co/wjHC0zm9aX
@realDailyWire The sad thing is that they were already parents. They are just parents who chose to end the life of their little baby. I pray that they will see the error and repent and turn to God
"I am a man. See me as a human beingβnot a birth defect, not a syndrome. I donβt need to be eradicated."
Frank Stephens pleads for the humanization of people with Down syndrome, studies suggest 67-90% are aborted in the United States due to faulty prenatal screenings.
@farmingandJesus Absolutely! All human life has value and those little image bearers deserve the same rights as the rest of us. Right to life is not dependent on location, and whether in utero or out x
βLove is loveβ has been tested on cousin marriage, and failed. ππ
It was a flawed principle all along.
Marriage has moral boundaries, even if itβs not cool to admit it. Me in Premier:
