Jesus died for frogs.

[John Piper @JohnPiper]

I have heard it said, “God didn’t die for frogs. He died for humans, implying we were worth the sacrifice.” This turns grace on its head. We are less deserving than frogs. They have not sinned. They have not rebelled and treated God with the contempt of being inconsequential in their lives. God did not have to die for frogs. They aren’t bad enough. We are. Our debt is so great, only a divine sacrifice could pay it.

An edifying thread

[Jesse Carr @thebishopcarr]

Answering *THAT* question must frame the answers to every other question we ask of the text and even which questions we even ask to start with.

[Jesse Carr @thebishopcarr]

Every “Did David Rape Bathsheba?” season here on X, I am mystified by people on both sides who seem to be oblivious to the most important hermeneutical question - why is the narrative in 2 Samuel at all? The answer is because the author must legitimize the reign of Solomon.

@Phil_Johnson_ What did John MacArthur think of Hugh Jass?

@MetzUAC1530 2/ Therefore, let it be noted that when I baptize a believer by immersion they do absolutely nothing. They stand there, I lean them back, and bring them up lest they drown. I use this to remind them of the gospel when I counsel them.

[Jesse Carr @thebishopcarr]

@MetzUAC1530 At Beeson Divinity School, Dr Carl Beckwith - whom I love dearly - once called me a “baptist pastor with a Lutheran accent” on a paper I had to write for him on the sacraments.

[Jesse Carr @thebishopcarr]

@mattforney Kind of but from my time in London with a massive Appalachian accent - when Brits hear a southern accent they automatically assume Texas so “Yank” isn’t their first thought.

[Jesse Carr @thebishopcarr]

@JoyJoyFeelings @HansFiene I’ve been having this exact same thought as of late.

Republicans, if you're not going to end the filibuster and pack the Supreme Court, then propose an Amendment that mandates the filibuster and fixes the number of Justices at 9. If Dems oppose that, then guess what? They're going to end the filibuster and pack the Supreme Court.

To his point “Θεὸς ἦν ὁ Λόγος” is more than one syllable.

[Dan McClellan @maklelan]

No syllable of the New Testament in any way whatsoever promotes or hints at the notion of multiple persons comprising one essence. The idea is an entirely post-biblical innovation asserted precisely to facilitate a unified & philosophically defensible christological model.

[Jesse Carr @thebishopcarr]

@TimAAmor You make good points but Luke Stamps is neither historically ignorant nor biblically illiterate.

Plus, there is the great Lutheran tradition of encouraging good faithful brothers to serve as executioners.

[Jesse Carr @thebishopcarr]

@Magilligan5349 @MarcoFoster_ @jamestalarico @TeamTalaricoHQ The Decalogue, not the code of Hammurabi, formed the foundation of legal understanding for the West via the influence of Christianity.

[Jesse Carr @thebishopcarr]

@Langatt_KE That’s largely untrue. Each of those academic specialties requires a technical vocabulary derivative of other languages.

[Luthertarian 🦬 @Luthertarian]

If JD Vance is from hillbilly descent and his wife hindu... does that mean their kids will be "reintarnated" when they die?

[Jesse Carr @thebishopcarr]

@RichardHanania Considering Lincoln’s own words indicate the war was not about emancipation but emancipation was about the war this argument doesn’t hold much value.

[Jesse Carr @thebishopcarr]

Some independent baptist kid who loves King Jesus and King James should find some spray paint and risk suspension for the glory of God.

We are pleased to report that a biblical reference in an elementary school in Virginia has been removed after a letter from us. https://t.co/wGRZClicGe
