Hi Gordon, my daughter’s 13th birthday is a few weeks away and she is a huge fan of yours. Any way you can wish her a happy birthday? Her name is Toula and she loves to cook and bake

@merelyjwright Where are you coming up with this stuff?

[Patrick O'rourke @porourke89]

@AlsoACarpenter What the heck is this guy even talking about?

[Patrick O'rourke @porourke89]

@coramdeo1 My concern with this method is the criteria we use to determine something’s certainty. If our justification for an issue’s certainty is unjustified, then we will not allow the other possibilities to carry their due weight.

@williamwolfe Retweeting somebody with more influence than you, then making absurd accusations, and slandering your sister to pander to your base is the true grift, friend. @williamwolfe this is embarrassing dude

[Patrick O'rourke @porourke89]

@thedrtimlittle Hahahaha what a weird thing to say

[Patrick O'rourke @porourke89]

@NijayKGupta Awesome! Thanks!

@_nomadic_soul I think mine was seeing the hypocrisy and abuse in my complementarian circles. I have a strong and intelligent wife and she was terribly mistreated in our church context. Then I read Gordon Fee and many others and realized that their arguments were simply better than mine.

2. without a glow or an aspiration, with the weight of low thoughts, failures, neglects, and wandering forgetfulness, and say to him, "Thou art my refuge, because thou art my home." George Macdonald

1. The perfection of his relation to us swallows up all our imperfections, all our defects, all our evils; for our childhood is born of his fatherhood. That man is perfect in faith who can come to God in the utter dearth of his feelings and his desires,

The subject kneels in homage to the kings of the earth: the heavenly king takes his subject in his arms. This is the sign of the kingdom between them. This is the all-pervading relation of the kingdom.

3. more than The Father loves a son? - more than The Brother Christ loves His brother? Would He not die yet again to save one brother more?

1. But at length, O God, will you not cast Death and Hell into the lake of Fire - even into your own consuming self? Death shall then die everlastingly. ... Then indeed will you be all in all. For then our poor brothers and sisters, every one - O God, we trust in you,

[Patrick O'rourke @porourke89]

2. the Consuming Fire - shall have been burnt clean and brought home. For if their moans, myriads of ages away, would turn heaven for us into hell - shall a man be more merciful than God? Shall, of all His glories, His mercy alone not be infinite? Shall a brother love a brother

@thescottbarber Such nonsense

[Patrick O'rourke @porourke89]

@1Cor6_9to11 @thaBr0die @TomBuck That’s interesting, but where are you getting this systematic teaching about hell, that’s not in the Bible

[Patrick O'rourke @porourke89]

@1Cor6_9to11 @thaBr0die @TomBuck We’ll I don’t think we ARE sin, we are God’s image bearers. In your paradigm, God doesn’t just allow hell to exist, he created it and sustains it, it was all his idea. God created certain people, possibly most, for the sole purpose of torturing them forever? A raw show of power?

[Patrick O'rourke @porourke89]

@ChrisCarrasqui5 @PatMcc59 @TomBuck I believe you are right, and the necessary conclusion is that God will save all people. He will completely undo the curse of Adam

[Patrick O'rourke @porourke89]

@1Cor6_9to11 @thaBr0die @TomBuck designated by the same terms? When God’s fatherhood, love, fairness, justice, etc. is materially different from our experience in the world, how can we begin to understand what God us like. Should we live according to the character you are attributing to God?

[Patrick O'rourke @porourke89]

@1Cor6_9to11 @thaBr0die @TomBuck 1. If God’s fairness looks nothing like our idea of fairness, but is in fact opposite, our theologizing becomes meaningless. We are to show love, but God’s love is actually to arbitrarily torture people endlessly. How can God’s attributes be so foreign to ours and still be…
