@IfindRetards Its honestly amazing how many lunatics think they're equipped to be mental health counselors. One would think some level of stability, not instability, would be a basic prerequisite to become qualified.

@WhiteHouse @CTmagazine @drmoore This is what I voted for

[Scotty Willis @tscottwillis]

@lukestamps 100% agree (even tho I got Doug Wilson in my profile pic) 😬... I'm R2K all the way

[Luke Stamps @lukestamps]

If you take being a Baptist seriously, it entails a political theology: the separation of the civil and ecclesiastical powers (but a robust social action on second-table issues) and the integrity and liberty of individual conscience (within peaceable limits).

[Scotty Willis @tscottwillis]

@ReformedCaio I assume its the latter

[Scotty Willis @tscottwillis]

@ReformedCaio I'm not sure I follow your post. Could you pls clarify? Bavinck is dishonest or someone claiming total depravity ontologically changes man is dishonest?

[Mitchell Wygant @MWMDCLXXVII]

All that is in God is God.

@brandon_d_smith @BaptistRenewal Gosh I can't wait to finish my doctorate so I can start pushing for this too in baptist circles (the classical stuff and techno dance parties)

@habeebhabeeb or worse: in hell

[Scotty Willis @tscottwillis]

@DrJimHamilton Has the dissertation been finished yet? Is it available for download?

[Scotty Willis @tscottwillis]

@Wesley_Todd_ @Pastor_Gabe Maybe he's just pointing out that y'all aren't being good brother in Christ and are making fools of yourselves in front of unbelievers...cause pastors are commanded to be well thought of by outsiders.

Unlike yours truly who reaches millions of people every day, real academics restrict their focus on publishing peer-reviewed papers that are read by at times 4 or 5 people (including the authors' moms). BTW, I'm not denigrating academic publications as I've spent 31+ years publishing such papers. BUT the idea that academics should restrict their influence to this one forum is the height of suboptimal elitism. Read chapter 1 of The Parasitic Mind wherein I discuss the anecdote with the arrogant and smug @Stanford colleague.

[Scotty Willis @tscottwillis]

What a difference!

@EricTeetsel Don't forget the stories I sent you if there's space!

[Scott Edburg @SEdburg]

PSA: Pastors are not national security experts nor are they military strategists. In seminary, our practical theology professor often reminded us to not pretend to be experts in fields outside of our authority. Our jurisdiction is tied to the ministry of the word, not the world.

[Scotty Willis @tscottwillis]

I felt the same way while I was working for Cru after college. Go for non-christian rightwing students!

[James R. Wood @jamesrwoodtheo]

A new harvest, if you will.

[Jeb Ralston @Jeb_R]

Theological retrieval is not simply repristination but a living, charitable dialogue with the saints of old.

my life as doctoral student

[David Attebury @dattebury]

Research rollercoaster:
1) I know nothing about this topic.
2) After reading a few books, I know lots about this topic!
3) After read a little more, I actually know nothing about this topic!

@PastorPerks @LexhamPress It is extremely good. I wrote a review of it for BBR. You might also enjoy my articles in JTI and MidAmerica Journal of Theology on Psalm 24. 😬
