Baby Millie was delivered by emergency c-section after receiving a life-threatening prenatal diagnosis.

She was given just a 2% chance to survive.

She beat the odds, and after 115 days in the NICU she is now home with her family.

Every baby deserves a chance at life.

In Barabbas (1961), the crucifixion scene captured a real solar eclipse, as director Richard Fleischer delayed production to film it on February 15, 1961, using its eerie darkness to enhance the moment.

No CGI. No tricks.

Protesting is actually about petitioning the government for a redress of grievances. The word for traumatizing kids at church to effect political ends is "terrorism."

@ClaireFosterPHD even if so, the answer should be yes. your God, should be first above all else in your life. To not is to be intellectually dishonest with your own world view.

Conservative young woman: “Guns are an equalizer. I cannot fight a 200-lb man off.”

Liberal older dude: “You look tough. You might be able to.”

What good are liberal dudes actually? These are the guys who preach about not “mansplaining” and listening to women always, right? lol

[ARC Radar @ARCRaidersNews]

In ARC Raiders people and streamers are already forming alliances, and the "Battle of the Bunguraiders" has begun. 😭

Which side are you on?

@hi00899771 @diclair_ @shady_only @catb0mb Well no, Cyberpunk retains a substantial and dedicated following. Similar to Bethesda titles, the overwhelming mod support has significantly contributed to the game's sustained vitality post-launch. The recent DLC and updates have only added to its appeal.

@oliverburdick you want a specific translation or want each codex separate. I have both.

[Travis @SyntheticTravis]

@AlpeinC @oliverburdick The Gospels (synoptic parallels: Mark, then Matthew/Luke)
Parables: The Good Samaritan, Prodigal Son-secular morality tales about empathy and forgiveness.
Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7): Ethical idealism (turn the other cheek, love enemies) that shaped secular humanism.

@JamesDueck Dr. Frank Turek started off as catholic and then made the switch. Maybe his story will be informing.

@realsienarose @JCRyle @TheWiseDisciple gotta agree, his Every Word series is very insightful and a great study.

Biblically, a “pastor,” “elder,” and “bishop” are 3 words for the same thing.

In the New Testament, the terms “elder,” (πρεσβύτερος), “bishop,” and “overseer” (ἐπίσκοπος) are essentially interchangeable, referring to the same leadership role in the early church. “Elder” stems from the Jewish context and “bishop” from the Greek term, both essentially meaning an overseer. The slight nuance is that qualifications for an “elder” stipulate standards of character, emphasizing a wise, mature leader who is respected, while “overseer” and “pastor” describe the functional aspects of leading and shepherding. The word “pastor” originates from the Old French “pastour” meaning “herdsman or shepherd”, a derivative of virtually the same word in Latin.

The three-tiered ecclesiastical system that eventually separated bishops, elders, and pastoral roles only emerged in the 2nd century, specifically in the writings of Ignatius, who first distinguished the overseer as the sole head of the city-church. Earlier writings like 1 Clement and the Didache still used the terms interchangeably.

Let me pass on to you that which is of primary importance: that Jesus Christ, God come in the flesh, died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried in tomb, and that He was raised on the third day, putting death to death, according to the Scriptures. And that this genuine and historical event — the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus — is both intellectually credible and existentially satisfying.

I was just on the @SWANCapital podcast with @AndrewMcNairRYP, he asked me "if you could write one post on X that would be read by everyone in the world, what would it say?" my answer (posted above), combined a paraphrase of 1 Cor. 15:3-4 and the words that supposedly pushed @timkellernyc over the edge of belief.

A challenge of teaching textual criticism (OT or NT) is that the apparatus can seem like overwhelming chaos. Connecting the data to actual manuscripts helps students get over that feeling. Today's @DailySeptuagint aims to do this with R-H.
