Sitting at VCU wondering why they are playing The 700 Club in the waiting room. 🤔
For the life of me, I do not know how anyone can look at the first 300 years of American History & say Christianity was thriving & the Church was in charge. Because if that’s the church, I don’t want any part of it! I don’t see Jesus in much of it at all.
Once again, the whole “Well, it’s a binary choice, either Trump or a Democrat” excuse has always been BS. Every chance evangelicals have had to pick someone else they choose Trump. They love Trump; he is the leader they want. And that is more damning than any book or documentary.
@Wmnm1 @Brcremer @Wmnm1 Hello, the unroll you asked for: threadreaderapp.com/thread/1728077… Share this if you think it's interesting. 🤖
I do not understand why we’re tucking in sweaters now. Was this ever a thing? I remember some people doing this years ago but I don’t ever remember it being cool or trendy. 🤔
Any suggestions for a good study on Matthew 25’s parable of the talents? It struck me that “well done good & faithful servant part isn’t referring to eternity because the master says that more responsibility will be given to them, so then the utter darkness wouldn’t be “hell”.
The amount of people that I have been in 🧵conversations with in the last 48 hours, who seem unable to stay on topic, astounds me! They keep bringing up accusations & questions unrelated to the context of the 🧵 we’re on! 🤦🏽♀️
christian nationalists would be so mad if they knew satan already tempted jesus with all the kingdoms of the world and jesus didn’t want it

Exciting news, #ShinyHappyPeople fans: Amazon is hosting an Aftershow tomorrow at 8pmET. I’ll share how I ended up including Gothard in JESUS AND JOHN WAYNE when I had no intention of doing so. And I’ll be in the chat when it goes live! Countdown here: urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https…
Them: in marriage, the husband is like Christ. Me: okay, so rather than grasping for power, he should empty & humble himself, serve his wife, wash his wife's feet, love her as self & die to himself by lovingly placing her needs & desires over his own. Them: no, not like that!
This “public figures & public information” argument drives me nuts. If a list of female school teachers that included a picture next to their school address was compiled and circulated by a group of men who believed women shouldn’t teach it would be seen as extremely dangerous
It is a terrible misunderstanding of the Gospel to think that it offers us salvation while relieving us of responsibility for the life of the world, for the sin and sorrow and pain with which our human life and that of our fellow men and women are so deeply interwoven. --Newbigin
Nothin’ like laying in bed, reading about a local mass shooting at a graduation two days ago & then hearing multiple gun shots somewhere near our house.
Religious fundamentalism that holds girls & women responsible for protecting the boys & men from sin is a shelter for predators of the worst kind. It is inevitably criminal & an insult to true religion & to the name of Jesus Christ, Lord and Savior, with whom children were SAFE.
This is your reminder: Jesus ain’t white. America isn’t a Christian nation or a chosen nation. Jesus wants us all free. The gospel is love and liberation. You need therapy and theology. Diversity is not justice. White supremacy will not have our futures. Black Lives Matter.
I am typically glad my kiddos are 4 yrs apart, as well as being no longer little tykes, but when I’m at Sam’s Club I can’t help but think how much easier the trip would be if they were 1 & 3, and could be buckled in the cart, than older, having to be reminded to stop goofing off
Today marks three years since Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd. Three years since the largest series of antiracist demonstrations in history, followed by one of the most concerted racist movements to demonize and ban antiracist work in history. 📸 AFP
So, to each of you (and as a reminder to myself) I say this: • ALL BODIES ARE BEAUTIFUL BODIES • YOUR BODY IS AN INSTRUMENT, NOT AN ORNAMENT • BEFORE YOU COMMENT ON SOMEONE'S OUTSIDE, CONSIDER YOUR INSIDE • COMPARISON IS THE THIEF OF JOY Let's be kind to each other. /6

@Manny_Clay1 @RevKimWChafee Paul is not above Jesus, who is God. Careful delineation of Paul's words from the original language needs to be used, who he was addressing and why. Paul treated female deaconesses, prophets and Apostles with high regard, and if he's NOT contradicting himself what does it mean?
@Manny_Clay1 Paul didn’t command it. He gave direction to specific churches for specific reasons. God doesn’t require us to continue to live in a patriarchal society in order to follow Him.
Excellent question! Compared to the traditions of His day, Jesus was RADICAL in His treatment of women, who were not allowed to enter the Temple beyond the Court of the Women, were only known for being wives and mothers, were hardly allowed to speak in public, weren't trusted to…
@RevKimWChafee How did Christ elevate the role of women?
@wilhelm_berkley @urbanaouthuna Seriously, this is one of the dumbest posts I've read (at least today)! Christ said that He came to pronounce freedom to the captive, sight to the blind, and salvation through the Good News. And it wasn't just future-oriented. And as far as feminism is concerned, Jesus was quite…
@wilhelm_berkley You are making the false presumption that patriarchy is the “normal aspect of human society.” It is not prescriptive of Christianity, but was born in patriarchal societies.
@RevKimWChafee Every word of this
@RevKimWChafee i often share this, because sadly it is often needed. The people who promote patriarchy /sexism in their religion, often refer to sexist verses in the Bible, but they are not talking about Christ. They are not following Christ. They prefer the dogma of men instead.
@DocBarbarossa @CharisHoll84971 On the contrary, I believe the reason there are so many mediocre male pastors, is because highly qualified women are kept out due to patriarchal leanings. The same is true in the public square.
@RevKimWChafee What really hurts is to hear Christian men call women leaders in the Bible "the exception, not the rule" which is so very dismissive of their contributions and personhood.
Regarding patriarchy… There is no doubt that scripture was written during (and in) a patriarchal era. What is eisegetical is ignoring the female leaders throughout scripture, and more importantly, how Christ elevated the role of women within an actual patriarchal society. The…
@stephenaltrogge They're mostly just trying to teach your kid to read and do some math.
hot take: most public school teachers aren’t trying to indoctrinate kids with extremely progressive unbiblical ideas
@storyofndblake Wait, you don't believe that the only thing that keeps us from eating our young and raping and criming all over the place is our fear of eternal hell fire and we must follow the parts of the Bible we like literally or our kind loving God will send us to hell forever? Huh.
One of the most important things I've left behind in evangelicalism is the idea that scripture directs our actions here in this life to secure liberation in the afterlife. I think scripture is almost entirely about bringing liberation from sin & oppression here and now.
"Does following the Way of Jesus require that we live in conformity to the Sermon on the Mount?" is turning out to be a very difficult question for a lot of people who call themselves Christian to answer directly. 🤔
@CruzControl72 @mommy97giraffe @Billieiswriting Yes, completely agree. A proper teaching of cultural context is really vital when approaching the Sermon on the Mount.
