Why Read The Bible In Hebrew?
Ever wondered why the Bible spends so much time mentioning tons of names? All those "begats"?
What if I told you reading those names in Hebrew can hold the key to understanding entire Biblical stories?
A thread (for non-Hebrew readers too!) 🧵1
evangelicals: “jesus came to die for your sins”
jesus: “i came to proclaim good news to the poor, proclaim freedom for the prisoners, recover the sight for the blind, set the oppressed free, and proclaim the year of jubilee”
@ChristVictorous@mika_edmondson I think even tho God is perfectly capable of working in the cultural context of slavery for the good of kingdom work, it never made slavery ok.
Based on her remarks about waking up every day and actively deciding to continue…I’d say she’s married.
If they broke up now: it would cost money. It would hurt. It would hurt their kids.
I do not care if they ever marry but this is a ridiculous argument IMO
“Beneath all the atonement theories, justice theologies and methods of hermeneutics is a story about God and humanity coming together in the common human sufferings of pregnancy, childbirth, life and death.” This article managed to make me mad, sad and hopeful.
I have a new article out this morning about why I have empathy for Karen Swallow Prior. I also share some personal details about my own wounds of regret that I've never talked about publicly before. https://t.co/7K7T8iWkPs
I’m not sure why I am even posting this to all 14 of my followers but sheesh. Stop being offended at every dang thing. If you don’t like what a company is doing, put your big kid panties on and stop shopping there and move on. God is not unaware. He can handle it.
Just found out the Covenant Pres shooter’s family didn’t have money for a funeral so the congregation of Covenant Presbyterian paid for her funeral.
That is humbling and beautiful.
May the still small voice of Jesus always be the loudest voice in our hearts and minds.
If someone tells us to hate, condemn, and conquer our enemies, may we respond by saying, “Jesus asks me to love my enemies. That is what I’m going to do.”
@jenwined I’m not sure I wouldn’t have offered to help a pregnant woman traveling alone with two small kids. HOWEVER, I would never have let my kid make that kind of mess in a public space either. Honestly, shame on all of them IMO

Don’t give up loving people. Don’t let this world turn your heart to stone. Jesus said the hearts of many would grow cold. We see it all around us. We’ve felt it within us. We won’t keep warm hearts in this culture by accident. We’ll have to battle the darkness to hold onto love.
@historyfocusnet@jenwined I get you’re point but also I’ve watched my older relative’s cognitive decline from 75-80 and it’s astonishing. I do not think regular exams at this age with this level of power is unrealistic. I think scientific evidence would back this up.
