Karma is finally coming for Meta, through the legal system.

As we await a verdict in Los Angeles on whether social media platforms were designed to addict young people, it's important to note that TWO courts have already ruled against Meta in the past month.

1) Yesterday, a jury in New Mexico established that Meta's platforms are not safe for kids, and that their design enabled the exploitation of children. This is a watershed moment: This is the FIRST time a jury has evaluated the evidence. The evidence was so compelling that the jury said Meta should pay $375 million dollars in civil penalties for the harms it has caused to New Mexico and its citizens.

2. But it gets worse for Meta: a few weeks ago, in Delaware, a court ruled that Meta's insurance companies do not have a duty to defend Meta or cover its costs in the thousands of lawsuits playing out in California because, under California law, if a company caused harm through "intentional acts" rather than accidentally, the insurers have no obligation to defend that company. Because the documents brought out in the NM and LA trials show intentional actions, Meta loses insurance coverage. That's what the insurance companies asserted, and the judge agreed with them.

Because of these two rulings, the legal and political landscape has changed dramatically. Going forward, social media companies will be judged like any other company whose product design decisions harm children.

These two rulings mark a profound shift toward accountability. The legal system is beginning to catch up to what parents have known all along. Many parents are now more likely to get justice for what these platforms have been doing to children for many years.

[Glenn Butner @glennbutner]

A related question: will we use the tools of hermeneutics and moral reasoning to reach a sound conclusion, or stop with the first passage we can shoehorn into our ideological presuppositions?

Affirmations of infallibility must be accompanied with respectful exegesis of the canon

[Glenn Butner @glennbutner]

This single verse isn’t a complete immigration ethic. But it’s also not reason to lose your mind, yet here the internet is.

The question is: are we beholden to the infallible word of God, or to our political party’s platform?

One of the most bizarre stories in the Bible appears early in the book of Exodus. On the way to Egypt, “the Lord met Moses and sought to put him to death” (Exod 4:24–26).

This scene is as surprising as it is strange. Moses has barely begun his God-given mission when the Lord is about to kill him! Why?

The reason becomes clear. Moses had failed to circumcise his son, neglecting the covenant obligation required of every Israelite father (Gen 17:10–14).

There are several ambiguities in this brief story. The Hebrew pronouns “he,” “him,” and “his” leave us wondering who the referent might be—Moses or his son.

Still, the basic storyline is clear. Zipporah, the wife of Moses, jumps into action. She circumcises their son and touches the bloody foreskin to Moses’ feet, declaring, “Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me.”

Moses is spared. He is saved by blood. Though already married, he becomes a hatan damim (חֲתַן־דָּמִים), a “bridegroom of blood.”

One other detail is deeply significant and ties this narrative to the Passover. The Hebrew verb used for Zipporah “touching” Moses with the blood is naga (נגע). The same verb appears later in the Passover instructions, where Israel is told to “touch” the lintel and doorposts with the blood of the lamb (Exod 12:22).

In both scenes, blood marks the boundary between death and life.

This nighttime rescue foreshadows Israel’s deliverance from the angel of death in Egypt through the blood of the Passover lamb (Exod 12:13). And it reaches its fulfillment in Christ. He is circumcised under the law (Luke 2:21), becomes the true Passover Lamb (John 1:29; 1 Cor 5:7), and is the Bridegroom who saves his bride by his own blood (Eph 5:25–27; Rev 19:7).

Behind the shield of his blood, we are safe.

@lukedsimmons @HHollandsworth @howertonjosh But I think this book had an adverse impact for many college students/young professionals. Most of us need to be pushed to work hard for the Kingdom since that isn't our default. We don’t need to be pushed to rest. (end)

@lukedsimmons @HHollandsworth @howertonjosh I work full-time, am married, a lay pastor, just finished a seminary degree, have two kids...I didn’t know how to shut things off. This book helped me with that.
I think everyone, young and old, needs to learn to Sabbath. It’s a life-giving practice (cont.)
