@kevinmyoung Any Christian that grew up on dctalk would know this quote expressing a similar idea.
I’m shocked people find this such a controversial take???

@GregAbbott_TX @HoustonChron Hi, @GregAbbott_TX. Linguist & Bible scholar here. Mary & Joseph were absolutely refugees according to the Gospel of Matthew. They fled (φεύγω > reFUGEE) Herod’s kingdom to Egypt to escape persecution. Luke’s census story is unrelated. You don’t know what you’re talking about.

@bobstevenson This is like Snape going up against Delores Umbridge.

So, this is a real "if the shoe fits" thread. I think there's a lot to say about a culture that can get really excited about splashy action movies about people fighting trafficking but also struggles to identify Andrew Tate as a moral monster. And I think it's because in the US

An increasing number of Evangelicals are arguing that there are “levels” of sin, i.e. that some are for worse in God’s eyes than others.
Guess which ones are the worst!

@HeroicChurch @kevinmyoung +More, like: Christian Nationalism, American Exceptionalism, Trump idolization, Guns, and more!

@aponson @kevinmyoung The sin that received the harshest response from God was unfaithfulness…spiritual adultery, idolatry. They worshiped Baal/Molech alongside Yahweh. This sin is still active in the church when Christians add other beliefs to the faith: mammon (prosperity), Darwinism, CRT, + more!

@aponson @kevinmyoung Yup. Look up abomination in the Bible and you will see clearly.

@SirDyves @kevinmyoung Sounds like you’re reading the law as statutory, which it wasn’t.
Hence why I defer to the Prophets and Jesus.

@M4tthewHumphrey The GTA ending trivializes it for me. 🤦🏻♂️
But other than that, truly a harrowing video of the reality of policing done well.

This is not only a fantastic example of an officer doing his job in exceptional fashion, but also how quick the nature of the job can just change in a split second.

@verbalpyromania @ZachWLambert LOL my guy, the meaning of Ezer as we have argued is more contextually rooted than yours since ours actually appeals to the narrative use of the word versus yours which is just the translation.
Are you just trolling or???
English
@verbalpyromania @ZachWLambert Zach laid out argument 1 really well, my guy and your response is ok so? Be for real.
“Ezer” is not used as a term for a subordinate assistant but as a rescuing, partnering, saving ally. Equal footing.

@RabbiHarvey I have seen many use Jeremiah 1:5 similarly to Psalm 139, too.

@DevinLeague Very appealing with the right amount of snoot to show the evangelicals I’m better than them in a humble way.

@aponson My guy Dallas already did. “Apprentice” is the term you seek

Anyone who is an apprentice with Jesus in their daily existence is sure to be a "Christian" in every sense of the word that matters.
