I'm a Bible student trying to understand the Scriptures while pontificating my opinionated conclusions for all to hear. ;-) 🇺🇸 🇮🇱

Logos Bible software rant:

Every Logos tool that promises to be a "shortcut" turns into 60-minute learning curve with uncertain payoff.

My time is better spent doing things the "hard way" and just getting it done.

I now remember why I chose Accordance.

"The more a theologian detaches himself from the basic Hebrew and Greek text of Holy Scripture, the more he detaches himself from the source of real theology!"

Maybe this law of Moses should be revived?

"If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son... "
Deuteronomy 21:18–21

Hard-working mother breaks down after her young son completely destroys every room in her house, causing over $70,000 in damages, after she took his phone for misbehaving. 😳💔🙏🏽

@XtremelyDad Yes! No one is above being fact checked.

Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so. (Acts 17:11 ESV)

@Fletch1171 @Lifeway Lifeway's material is nearly useless as far as I'm concerned.

Christians aren’t to blame for these atrocities, but our society’s sickness reveals the church’s weakness.

Obsessed with shallow programs, we’ve forgotten our mission to evangelize our neighbors.

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: (1 Pet. 5:8 KJV)

[Lucian Bright @wisdomofhasatan]

Do you still doubt my war is real? You’ve seen it break into blood and fire in the streets.

Yet the Church slumbers, too busy entertaining goats to make disciples of men.

Sleep, little flock, your nap is my triumph.

We have it all backwards:

We designate a local leader and hope a church emerges around them.

In the New Testament, however, Paul started local fellowships first then let leaders emerge within them.

Big difference!

"There have been very few pastors whose ministries have been damaged by poor strategic planning. There are very few pastors whose ministries have been compromised by poor staffing. There are very few pastors who have lost their way in ministry because they didn’t budget well. But there are thousands of pastors who have damaged or destroyed their ministries because they lost sight of what ministry was really about and did not protect themselves against temptation and, sadly, became casualties of the very war that Peter says we should never forget."

Paul David Tripp, Dangerous Calling: Confronting the Unique Challenges of Pastoral Ministry (Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2012), 219.

@XtremelyDad What does this fictional comparison tell us about the way Calvinists view reality?

[Ready4Eternity @Ready4Eternity]

Immersion made Paul’s list of ‘seven ones’ in Ephesians 4. How important must it be to make this list?

Why do so many Protestants treat baptism like a footnote?

[Ready4Eternity @Ready4Eternity]

AMEN!

@SacrdCowTipping I'd like to read that paper if you are willing to share it.

[Ready4Eternity @Ready4Eternity]

@DPGBehler Given the recent statements from figures like Sproul Jr., can there be any doubt about the heretical nature of their teachings?

This doctrine is more egregious than nearly anything debated and condemned by historic church councils.

Time to start calling it what it is?

You can't make this stuff up.

I assumed this was a bogus quote, but it's not.

In case anyone was in doubt of Junior being a blasphemer…

God is not the author of sin but He created it to display His wrath.

@HeManseth @deli_cue The Bible tells us about this genetic inheritance... where?

@rcsprouljr @Bookm_Danno "a little girl received the judgment from God she had earned"

That is perhaps the vilest thing I have ever heard.
