A little learning is a dangerous thing

Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring

There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain

And drinking largely sobers us again

@RogueCenturion When the serpent is cursed “above all livestock” it seems to indicate that the animal kingdom is in fact cursed. Also, the word “cursed” is never used toward Adam or Eve.

@TheDonStein I did the same thing. Was working for the same state too. Our motto was “you either trust Him or you don’t.”

@TheDonStein So are you saying “let it be your whole personality if it’s the Packers?” Or are you saying “don’t post your hobbies if they include the Packers?”

@timrwild Got someone she should meet. Despite his Ivy League education (has two Masters from Princeton Sem and a MA from Yale) he’s a solid, confessional LCMS Lutheran. He’s a PhD student at CTSFW who will receive a call this week at the call ceremony. Handsome guy, not weird, early 30s.

@anglicanist @lutheranpeasant Welcome to the family!

[TheOkayestChaplain @RevSchiff]

@lutheranpeasant has dropped so low that many are in it for the wrong reasons and one of those reasons is rank. Some do it for the right reasons but just have very poor training so they also fall prey to the competitive Army Officer culture.

[TheOkayestChaplain @RevSchiff]

@lutheranpeasant then this probably hits harder. It really depends where you find your identity. We LCMS Chaplains know that we’re called and ordained servants of the Word before we’re anything else in the military. Unfortunately, in my branch (Army) the bar for becoming a chaplain…

@Concordia_Luth @Econotheist It is weird. You were right. “Bucer is a scoundrel in every case, part of speech, and rule of grammar. I never trust him because Paul said, “As for a man who is factious, after admonishing him once or twice, have nothing more to do with him.” - Martin Luther (LW 54 417)
