@WesleyLHuff Helpful assessment! Thank you for your work!!!

If you’re arguing that “the Septuagint” or “the Dead Sea Scrolls,” both included certain books, and on that basis we must have those books in our Bibles today, then you have a big problem. Both “the Septuagint” and “the Dead Sea Scrolls” are mini-libraries — they include documents considered both scriptural and non-scriptural in their day. 

For example, the Letter of Aristeas, 3rd and 4th Maccabees, the Ascension of Isaiah, the Testament of Job, the Life of Adam and Eve, the Psalms of Solomon, and the Assumption of Moses are all part of the Septuagint collections. The Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs, The Community Rule, recordings of the last words of Joseph, Judah, Levi, Naphtali, and Amram (the father of Moses) were amongst the Dead Sea Scrolls. Few (if any) of these books are considered scripture today by modern Christian or Jewish groups.

Both the Septuagint and the Dead Sea Scrolls are representative of ancient library collections — collections that contained scripture but that were not themselves wholly considered scripture. We today group them in these convenient categories with these helpful titles, but it is a misunderstanding to think of them as, or necessarily representative of, a single thing.

@markvalorian Excellent!

Clarence Thomas' whole speech is eloquent and impactful, but I found his closing remarks particularly moving. He makes the case against tacitly accepting injustice simply because it is socially convenient, arguing that it is incumbent on each and every individual to assume responsibility for our collective future, not simply our own personal present. Furthermore, he argues that choosing the path of righteousness over that of least resistance creates a self-fulfilling prophecy that both improves our collective standing and makes the choice easier on the individual over time: "Courage, like cowardice, can be habit-forming."

Country's Supreme Court Convicts Christian Politician of Crime for Biblical Views on Marriage cbn.com/news/world/cou…

“You either need to transition your child or you don’t get to keep your child.” Attorney Erin Friday says California Child Protective Services can threaten parents who refuse to use their child’s preferred pronouns. She told me she feared calling the police when her 13 year old daughter ran away because she worried CPS would take her child. “My daughter, who was 13 years old, just starting high school, was secretly socially transitioned at school.” “The school started to call my daughter by a male name, use male pronouns.” “When I called the school and told them to stop, that next week Child Protective Services was at my door.” “The next day, the police.” “That was an immediate alert to me that the school wants to parent my child.” “If I didn’t follow and call my daughter a boy, Child Protective Services may come and take my child away.” “Parents in Southern California had lost custody of their children because they wouldn’t transition their daughter.” “I already had a black mark, and a few months later my daughter ran away.” “The normal thing for a parent to do is to ask law enforcement to help find your child… but I couldn’t make that phone call.” “Because Child Protective Services can swoop in anytime and take my child.” “It’s coercion at its highest level.” “You don’t get to parent your child.” “This is America. This is insane.” @erinfriday75490

@DrFrankTurek If Jesus is God, then He certainly spoke about homosexuality. Because God’s words are recorded in both the Old and New Testaments.

@darwintojesus Think of it. How does God create rocks? He speaks them into existence. How does God move rocks? The same way. He doesn’t need muscles to lift anything. His Word is that powerful.
