My name is Jay. I love geeky stuff - weather, computers - and not so geeky stuff, like #Jesus & football. Rom. 4:5-8, Col. 1:12-14, Rev. 19:7

So...I saw a post earlier today from someone saying that they deleted a thread about the #Achord mess because there has already been 'enough damage done' to him and his career.
I disagree, and here's why. A thread:
This isn't about damaging Achord himself. I feel awful - & we all should - for his wife and children, as well as all the people at Sequitur Academy. Many of them are truly innocent victims of this. Some of them are not.
However, some of them had to be aware but said nothing.

A word to the survivor community given all the toxicity I've seen on Twitter over the last two days or so, both from movies:
"Be careful which path you travel down, Strange. Stronger men than you have lost their way." - Wong, Doctor Strange
"You have allowed this [darkness] to twist your mind, until now, until now you've become the very thing you swore to destroy." - Obi-Wan, Revenge of the Sith

"Southern Baptists have always been cooperative in their spirit and are more than willing to help while we detest __as they detest sexual abuse of children or anyone__...
...it is a problem and the Catholic church brought it to light many years ago __and agree that there are some things that happen in Baptist churches that are swept under the rug and should not be.__"

The fight about waiving #SBC A/C privilege was always about protecting the men at the top from the ramifications of their immoral __ AND ILLEGAL__ activities.
A cursory review of the #SATFReport makes it plain as day.
The only surprising thing to me is that it took this long for the Federal government to get involved.

If the reviewer can't even spell the author's name right, don't waste your time on the review.
The least thing you can do is copy and paste the name so that it's correct, even IF said is the worst book out there and contains all the heresy in it. 1/5
So on a whim, I read a book by Nadia Bolz-Weber a few weeks ago ("Shameless", for those who are curious), and I did it because a certain heretic kept putting her on blast. I don't read stuff I disagree with often, but in this case I wanted to see what the ruckus was about. 2/5

Some thoughts on this.
1. @johnmacarthur shouldn't have to pull out. He should have been thrown out by @Ligonier days ago.
2. Anyone who seriously thinks Lig is going to touch MacArthur is delusional. Lig and Mac are tight and have been for years.
3. Not only are Ligon and John tight as friends, but their business models are also intertwined as well. Ligonier advertises at #ShepCon & vice versa...."A rising tide lifts all boats." Many of the fanatical "Mac"olytes move freely between the 2 & buy resources from both.

Going to retweet some of the New Yorker article with parts that stuck out to me as it illustrates why I started questioning complementarianism and eventually decided this whole debate is fit only for the trash can.
This will be a thread, and probably a long one. 01/?
"For a time, Barr fell under the sway of an abusive boyfriend, who, while menacing her, spat Scripture demanding her submission. The fact that she couldn’t question him made it harder to see the abuse for what it was."

”The City of God does not prompt isolationism but the perspective necessary to seek the repair of an inevitably fragile thing. He encouraged the church to neither despair nor place ultimate hopes in the empire... (1/3)
The present political turmoil is neither a sign of the end times nor a justification for withdrawal from the world...The city of God and the earthly city are not synonymous with the church and “world,” rather they describe the 2 societies that make up all of God’s creation: (2/3)
