@PhilHs10 A bigger threat is the unholy union created when the Far Right adopt Christian motifs to promote a twisted view of palingenesis that is the complete antithesis of Christ’s Kingdom.
@LeeAndersonMP_ And you were part of the Conservative government that could have banned zombie knives two years ago but didn’t.
Are all the deaths since then on you and the previous administration?
Pack in the dog whistle politics.
It should be obvious by now where it gets you.
@shammytheclown @calvinrobinson Thinly veiled Islamophobia which genuine followers of Jesus should never tolerate, and never promote.
Loving God and loving our neighbour mean seeking a peaceful alternative.
A co-existence in his Kingdom where each may sit under their own vine and fig tree - Micah 4-4
@ChristSavesUK@calvinrobinson The Gospels have no record of Christ as concerned with ‘liberalism’.
How about the sin that many live in poverty?
Or the sin of not loving our neighbour?
We do not build the Kingdom in our own image.
We build for the Kingdom by every act of selfless love for others.
Christian nationalism: “Fight!”
Christ: “Blessed are the peacemakers”
Christian nationalism: “America First!”
Christ: “for God so loved the world”
Christian nationalism: “mass deportation!”
Christ: “Welcome the stranger”
Christian nationalism: “U.S.”
Christ: “Us”
@jk_rowling The role of the law is to protect.
This is a complex situation, requiring our lawmakers to listen to the whole spectrum of views in order to formulate laws which protect everyone regardless of their gender identity and how they live their life.
Dodds is a fine choice.
@ThomasPurell@KtTup I wouldn’t be as polite to call it “hassle”.
I prefer “misogynistic bullying using scripture in a narrow sense to undermine people’s self worth.”
@ThomasPurell @ScottCross_8 @ryanschatz@MikeWingerii@sailemptyskies Webster’s Greek Dictionary. (1828)
Apostolos is a Greek term meaning one ordained to carry out a task.
Often as a representative of a king.
Similar to an ambassador or an Admiral of the Fleet.
Sounds like a function of leadership to me.
Mounce has something similar.
@ThomasPurell@ryanschatz@MikeWingerii@sailemptyskies I won’t be saying either of those things thank you very much, and I resent the unfounded accusation.
You have demonstrated time and again a wilful ignorance of the term “heresy”and throw it around pejoratively.
Online spiritual bullying.
@ThomasPurell@ryanschatz@MikeWingerii@sailemptyskies And like I have said to you before, for you to hold that view is fine.
Other people have their own views, and these are perfectly valid to hold.
Let others be.
