They aren’t busking, which is providing a service. They can’t play. That’s part of the scam.

Most (85%) of the “homeless” are drug addicts. You’re inly funding their habit. You’re not helping. They KNOW you feel guilty. Addicts are manipulators any way.
An addict ONLY wants one thing: another hit. It’s hard to accept the fact that apparently needy people will look right you and lie but they do. What they need is Jesus and to get clean. They need to detox and then some treatment.
The drugs/booze didn’t just magically enter their system. Addicts/drunks are self-medicating a problem. Your $20 just postpones that help and allows them to continue using/drinking til they die.
look right *at* you

🧵We need to distinguish between a principled, Christian opposition to homosexuality as a behavior, orientation, & lifestyle and homophobia. The Apostle Paul was not afraid of homosexuals or homosexuality. He feared God and his wrath. He also loved homosexual sinners
enough to incur their disapproval to tell them the truth that a homosexual orientation and behavior is contrary to natural and specially revealed law. It is destructive of the image. Indeed, he taught that sexual sin is not like all other sins inasmuch as
all other sins are outside one's body but sexual sin is more intimate and defiles the imagery intended by the union of a man & a woman, i.e., the union between Christ & his church. What is the image of homosexual union? It's not Christ & his church.

The winnowing continues. This really is sad. A lot of good people are being ejected from the service of their country. We're going to look back on this episode and shake our heads at how panicked and rash we were.
This is also about the exercise of control. The vax is good for 6 months at most. It's not as if there are no risks or nor ethical questions connected with the vaccine but never mind those.
It *appears* that most will be given an "other than honorable" discharge. This will negatively affect their access to VA benefits. All their service is marred bec of their conscience?

Uh no. If Baptists want to become Reformed, great! Adding predestination to a Baptist reading of redemptive history, Baptist polity, theology, piety, & practice does not make one Reformed. How dare I say such a thing? 1. Words mean things. 1/x
2/x 2. The word Reformed meant something before American Baptists (of whatever sort) discovered it. It signified a way of reading redemptive history (e.g., one cov of grace, multiple administrations and the theology, piety, & practice confessed by the Reformed churches).
3. The Reformed have been confessing this reading of redemptive history, theology, piety, & practice since the early 1520s. We’re still confessing it.

4. If you haven’t read and seriously considered the theology, piety, & practice of the Heidelberg Catechism (1563),

Thread. Saw a video re an officer-involved-shooting. Commenter(s) asked: “why didn’t the officer shoot him the leg?” This is why: shooting a firearm well is a lot like swinging a golf club. It involves a lot of fine motor movements, except, unlike hitting a golf ball there is an
explosion in front of one’s face. It’s unnatural. Those things make shooting difficult even when she’s just on the range. Squeeze the grip just a little too hard and the shot goes down and to the left. Flinch in anticipation of the shot/bang and the shot goes wide.
Now, when an officer arrives at a scene she often has a sketchy report (e.g.,man with a knife). She sees the threat, which is not usually stationary, as she pulls to a stop. She’s moving as she gets out of the car (she has to get out of her seatbelt just like you but

This just isn’t true.
It simply doesn’t follow and there is no evidence that the apostles or early post-apostolic church intended to say Ekklesia, in Christsn use, meant what it meant in secular usage.
Ekklesia is used in the LXX (The Greek translation of the Old Testament) in place of the Hebrew word for “covenant assembly.“ This is how it is used in the New Testament.

It would help the evangelical discussion re church/state (e.g., masks, distancing, meeting indoors etc) to distinguish between the state's interest in regulating things *around* worship, that are common to all gatherings, and regulating the material of worship.
We all recognize (or we did before Covid) that the community, as represented by civil gov't, has a proper interest in the general welfare of the community. Thus, I'm unaware of any church that has refused to allow the fire dept or the health dept to do inspections.
How many churches now certify that their youth/nursery workers are not sexual offenders? How many have made training in re ipsa mandatory? Our church buildings must be built to local safety/fire codes. No one reasonably objects to such civil regulation.
