@simscircuit I think the reporter did not think too well before asking her question. I don't think she was meaning to be insulting, but rather than do you think before you speak I think she meant to say have you thought about all the questions we ask Long before you speak or before we ask.
@UseCmnSensePlz @JoeyMannarinoUS Racist much? Why not take pictures of drunken white frat boys carousing at a legged and ask the same questions? I think you have a certain agenda
@JimOleske I wonder if Jim is willing to accept that his legal services should be required by law to be extended to defending the local White Supremacist group in their annual Aryan Pride march down Main Street. Even if there is a right to such a march, I like to think I could decline it.
@pastormarct @kendraarsenaux Creating space for conversation is one thing, endorsing affirming theology is another. Those of us listening to the last two episodes clearly saw the move into the latter. I’m wondering if everyone commenting on this has actually listened to episodes.
@pastormarct @kendraarsenaux when they decide to colorfully and with panache promote Pepsi instead. Their unsurprising removal has nothing to do with their creative giftedness, unless lack of community faithfulness and hyper-individualism is now considered the mark of creative genius.
@pastormarct @kendraarsenaux that not only discussed (which would be okay), but clearly endorsed and promoted, not once, but multiple times, theological and behavioral views contrary to the community of the church she served. It is as though somebody paid to promote Coke is somehow lauded as creative martyr

@pastormarct @kendraarsenaux Pastor Marcos, Kendra is a gifted communicator, talented student, and as you suggest a creative and thoughtful podcaster. She was let go for none of these things. Rather, she was let go because of her hyper-individualism in insisting on airing program, paid for by the church.
@SportsCenter It’s basketball. Dude fouled him, he reacted before he looked, an errant blow, flagrant 1, because it was an unnecessary and violent act, but he wasn’t targeting the groin and he was reacting to a pretty aggressive foul.
Every seven years, productive labor by everyone is to cease (it seems people will live on stores of food as well as informal gleanings of naturally produced foodstuffs), allowing land and animals to rest, the forgiveness of debt for all debtors, and the freeing of slaves.
Only those who care for the environment, seek for social justice, uphold the dignity of animals, oppose economic exploitation, promote public health, and work for the integrity of the family can truly preach about the Sabbath and the dangers of Sunday laws.
The fact of rest from productive work places labor and business in its rightful place as a secondary social value, behind relationships and community. (Economic). All these points are developed in further detail by the yearly and jubilee Sabbaths.
The Fourth commandment extends the Sabbath rest not just to the master and mistress of the home, but to the children (family unit and rights), the servants (social equality), aliens (immigrant fairness) and even the animals (ecological and environmental.)
Many Seventh-day Adventists don’t seem to know that the 7th day Sabbath is only the top of the iceberg when it comes to the biblical Sabbath. The social, economic, ecological and environmental justice hinted at in the weekly Sabbath, is developed and expanded by the yearly ones.
@kendraarsenaux You have to believe that you work for God first; if he calls you to work for His church, you can thrive, whatever the obstacles, because ultimately you work for Him, not the flawed leaders you will find. But he might also call you to work outside the church. And that is okay too
