“Christian” - “little Christs”; it’s taking on that name, hopefully not in vain. Understanding the Hebrew Bible with context and history isn’t necessary, but an enhancement.
Grew up a military brat, also a preacher’s kid. Not a normal childhood, but I wouldn’t trade it. Career in tech was half hearted at best. Following Jesus of Nazareth is a whole hearted pursuit.

It turned out to be problematic for them. They were destroyed in a horrific way for adopting foreign gods. The story is a metaphor - the prostitute sisters are a type for Israel who lusted after the power and riches of the Assyrians (represented by the outsized genitals).

Constituent: You need to take your head out of Trump’s ass.
I’m surprised Russians, who supposedly think sexual deviation of all stripes is punishable by imprisonment or death, are just fine with grooming, bedding, and marrying a stepdaughter. Make that make sense.
Texas is being sued already, by Elias’ group. Interesting to see if the Federal govt can sue a state in this, since voting administration is constitutionally up to the States.
PS// History? (See Carthage).
Unconditional surrender is not “settlement”. It’s unconditional - no conditions. They lost. Period.

They landed at a US military base (Joint Base Elemendorf-Richardson), not a commercial airport. That made it even worse.

Ridicule is the most effective weapon against Trump, and Newsom’s staff have very good aim. That was some skillful mockery. 💯

Who’s “we”, Charlie? No one voted for you. Sit down. It’s bad enough without you. Please, sit down.
Couldn’t bear to read it, but I gather from comments it’s warmed over Stephen Wolfe nonsense.
His only real accomplishment has been writing fiction. So, it tracks.
Know who was really badly used by Trump and the Monsters who surround and attend him? The man in the stands who was shot and killed - oh, and the one who was (actually) wounded, and their families. I want to know the whole story. 😡
Is Tim Apple coming back next week to drop off the Frankincense and Myrrh?
I read the sign to say “he didn’t win [in 2020]”. That would make it the big-lie-trifecta.

Are they incompetent or embroiled in a conspiracy? So much similarity in answers suggests coordination - serving a nefarious single purpose, obviously not the individual goals of their departments.
Thus, the reference to “enigmas” in the bawdy birthday wishes.
Translations are subject to rigorous review standards. There are some English transliterations that are nonsense,though.
Both KJV and NIV translate from the same Greek sources. Paul in Ephesians and Colossians uses ‘doulos’’; Peter uses ‘oiketes’. Both words can mean ‘slave’ or ‘servant’, but Peter’s choice leans toward ‘servant’. Paul & Peter were Jewish; their audiences were mixed as Christianity had spread.
Exodus 21:16 shows that the American model of slavery - kidnapping from native land,possessing or selling - was punishable by death in the Law. Your examples were letters written to a Hebrew audience living under Roman occupation, so they had little or no control of social norms.
The English is updated to reflect changes in usage because English is a living language. The original Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic remain the same as they were at the time they were written.
NIV New Testament first published in 1973, then Old and New Testaments in 1978. Updated as recently as 2011.
His criticism of Trump notwithstanding, his flaming commentary of Paramount and CBS could just as well have been the tipping point for the network and parent company. It was brutal and pointed without depending on the Trump connection heavily.
A serial killer in a suit is running this country.
Not so fast,Chuck, there is a “we” out there who very much think (assume) Trump is deeply involved with the Epstein mess. You are embarrassing. I am embarrassed. Have some integrity. First, stop lying to yourself.
😒
Yep. Not backing down from his nonsense is more important to him than actual sense. Breaks my heart he calls himself a Christian. Can’t even. 💔
A must-watch clip, especially now.
It’s the “doctrine of demons” predicted by Paul in his letters to Timothy. He says it will satisfy people with “itching ears” - words that scratch the itch by telling them what they want to hear, not the truth. The Rushdoony crowd want their various hatreds justified instead of listening to Jesus.
Because it’s not from a gospel. It’s Isaiah being commissioned by God to tell the Israelites they will be destroyed. Impossible to apply it to the modern US. If you read on, it’s obvious.
In several ways. It has nothing at all to do with the images in the video. It’s blasphemy.

It’s one day. One day that is deeply and sadly ironic. Calm down.
Jack, I’m one of those who just can’t 4th-of-July today. It’s a coincidence that these forces merged like they did, but it’s real. Don’t preach. Be a bit more gracious.

Wasn’t Donald himself born to an immigrant mother?
And Charlie Kirk is only there (community college drop out and internet big mouth) because he’s a white man. Prove me wrong.
You are preaching to the choir here. Now *do* something.
Folks can argue about the relevancy of the “Democratic socialist” label all day. But if that’s what you’re hung up on, you’re missing the larger point. People aren’t chasing labels. They’re chasing change. Real, structural, unapologetic change. 🧵

Bove’s confirmation hearing for the 3rd Circuit is on Wednesday. His own former DOJ colleagues say they don’t trust him to be impartial. Watch the video & insist that your senators do too before they vote.
I'm not enjoying the reboot of the "Unprovoked War in the Middle East" reality TV show. It's just as pointless, but the actors are even stupider. And, frankly, I didn't think that would be possible.

Trump and gang fired JAG officers, so who is there to tell the Marines what is or isn’t legal? It is something akin to ‘Let’s kill all the lawyers.’ (Henry VI, Part 2)
It felt to me like he wanted to give them ample rope to hang themselves, but they are very good at sanewashing themselves.
According to the Reformed, Church of the Itching Ears, Nationalists, it takes 3 generations to become an “heritage American”. By their lights, short of that, full citizenship benefit does not apply. Making DJT ineligible as he is an ‘anchor baby’… pardon the expression.
I was thinking it exposed Kirk, etal to an audience who would not have seen and heard them otherwise. 🤷♀️

Dealing with law enforcement can be stressful, so it’s important to know your rights before you’re face-to-face with ICE agents. While there’s never any guarantee that law enforcement officers will follow the law, here’s what they can and can’t legally do to you and what you can legally demand. ⤵️

I salute the 600 Naval Academy grads who released a letter condemning Trump's book bans at the Academy. At this week's Board meeting, I moved to reverse the ban & made clear I won’t give up the fight. Are we really afraid to have midshipmen read Maya Angelou’s “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings”?
