@ALesserPaul Have a good weekend. I have a hard time finding much energy for people who don’t have the courage to post under their real names and identities.

What would we say of a pastor and leadership team
who tried to pass a constitutional change in a congregationally governed church,
three times in three years?
It’s defeated but they just keep bringing it back
and basically threaten to KEEP bringing it back until it passes.

"In reality, the Mohler Amendment contradicts the Bible. It also diminishes the very principles that gave birth to Southern Baptist life: Soul competency, Local church autonomy, Liberty of conscience, and the Priesthood of every believer."
Exactly.
Wade nails this. ! #SBC26

@realJennaEllis Renner is obviously your top choice.
Could you rank the other three in preference order?
English
Collins campaign is failing so hard they have to try to pretend the other candidates are somehow colluding together against him. 😂
It’s a lie, but that’s all they have.
The only thing the other candidates have in common is laughing at how bad Jay’s campaign is.

Susan Collins is spineless and corrupt.
And in 163 days, we will defeat her.

@colinsmo @MichelleDLesley That "article" is one of the most dizzying compilations of scripture abuse I've ever read. And I've read a lot

In which Wade Burleson comes out against the BFM 2000.
This vote in Orlando and debate in the run-up will be very clarifying. There are only two sides to this issue.
You’re either with Wade—against biblical fidelity, against the BFM, and against 2,000 years of church tradition—or you’re with Mohler, wanting to call Southern Baptist churches to honor and follow God’s Word, not the spirit of the age.
Choose this day who you will serve.

@TheCalvinCooli1 @nathanweisser Okay... so we have an accusation made. We have a flat denial of it by the accused.
@nathanweisser can we get some evidence of the "paid operative" claim? It's a pretty serious allegation
English
@ALesserPaul @nathanweisser Nowhere he is slandering me because I didn't kiss Merrick's bald head
English
Dear Oklahomans: I'm 90% sure @TheCalvinCooli1 (The Calvin Coolidge Project) is a paid operative meant to bolster establishment candidates against grassroots candidates for the Trump administration, while fronting as grassroots. He's in the same category as Catturd, but for OK.

@realJennaEllis @GovRonDeSantis @Paul_Renner Renner indeed deserves a ton of the credit.
I think Collins and Renner would both do a great job.
Both are vastly preferable to Donalds
Who is himself somehow preferable to Fishback.
Aside from my high ranking of Collins, do you otherwise agree with my ordering?
English
Many of the successes that made @GovRonDeSantis known as the best governor in the nation were only possible because of @Paul_Renner’s leadership in the House.
If you really want a third term of DeSantis for Florida, vote for Renner.
He’s the only candidate running on a record instead of just meaningless campaign promises and endorsements.

When I led the Florida House, we ended DEI at our universities. That’s now the law, not a suggestion. These questions need answers re: the search committee’s announcement of a single, pro-DEI finalist: -Interim President Donald Landry has all the credentials, demonstrated commitment to free speech and ideological balance, and none of the pro-DEI record of Dr. Bell, the lone finalist. Why is UF’s current president, at minimum, not a finalist to interview with the UF trustees, considering a prior search committee, the UF trustees and the BOG unanimously approved him as the current president? Did he withdraw his name? If not, then taxpayers need to know the reason he is not a finalist before they shell out a multi-million dollar severance. -UF’s official account posted that Dr. Bell is committed to UF’s DEI policy and will comply with our laws. How can that be said when he has yet to speak publicly or even be interviewed by the UF trustees? -“Even when Alabama’s legislature abolished DEI, Bell kept the school’s DEI officers and renamed the DEI office,” John Sailer has warned. “His diversity chief is still a senior administrator at Alabama today.” How does this brazen disrespect for AL’s DEI laws at his current job allow anyone to claim he would follow our laws at UF?

@nathanweisser @TheCalvinCooli1 Where is the evidence of him being a paid operative?

@ALesserPaul @TheCalvinCooli1 He's actively trying to get grassroots conservatives to vote against Jake Merrick

@ClarenceMaximus Scalia agreed 100%. When speaking to law schools or at events, he always got the most animated about SCOTUS terrible death penalty jurisprudence.
English
I’ve been trying to explain my thoughts on this excellent Thomas solo opinion, and I have basically just realized that our death penalty jurisprudence is the single most indisputably botched area of Constitutional Interpretation that we have. Thomas is 100% correct once again, but it’s very hard to explain why Atkins is wrong without also explaining why like twelve other death penalty cases are also wrong.
Eric W.@EWess92
Justice Thomas calls to overturn the precedent that people can be too dumb for the death penalty. "As this case shows, though, Atkins has bred only confusion and absurdity. Nothing in the text or history of the Constitution supports Atkins. It should be overruled." 👀

Immense willpower is required for me to not reply “okay, Hamas” to every single Ben Rhodes post
Ben Rhodes@brhodes
This guy helps create a global catastrophe and then notices that his dumb policy has left Iran stronger. So of course what's needed is even more war.

@UcheMaryOkoli She committed the same sin as Zechariah. God judged Zechariah but gave grace to Mary because he's God and he can
English
I need Protestants to actually point to me exactly where it is mentioned in the Bible that "Mary is a sinner."
Since you are sola scriptura, let's go sola scriptura.
Just one part in the Bible where it is said, explicitly that "Mary, the Mother of God is a sinner."
Because I'm tired of seeing your heresies in my comment section every time I talk about Mary.
Mary was born sinless. She died sinless.
Period! But if you have proof of Mary being sinful, show me.

@Nover68 first of all, excellent thread! Second, under what actual constitutional theory is the Federal Reserve insulated more than other "independent" agencies. Everyone just sort of takes as granted that they ARE. But why? Aside from tradition and pragmatism
Nover@Nover68
Lastly, whatever path the Court goes down expect for the Court to resolve the cases in a way that includes an exception for the Federal Reserve which will probably be the only independent agency to survive the expansion of the unitary executive theory.

A vote for the Mohler amendment is a vote to give Al Mohler, William Wolfe, and Tom Ascol, the license and power to determine what “function” a woman can and cannot engage in, in a local SBC church that they deem as “functioning” as a pastor, in their eyes, thus violating the bfm2k in their eyes, and being disfellowshipped from the sbc. Why for heaven’s sake, would the sbc grant the theology and thinking of Al Mohler, William Wolfe, and Tom Ascol, to wield that kind of power over a local sbc church where Jesus is Lord, and sanctioned the woman at the well to go and give commentary on the message Jesus gave to her at the well. To vote for the Mohler amendment is a vote for lunacy, foolishness, and to take the convention counter culture to Jesus’s example set by permitting women to comment on his commentary, without being in violation of Scripture or, the will of God. A vote for the Mohler amendment is unnecessary, and hurtful to the image of the sbc.

Albert Mohler says a woman answering follow-up questions about sermons on a church podcast is functioning as a pastor, title or not. He's now proposing a constitutional amendment at the SBC annual meeting to make that standard official. churchleaders.com/news/2217844-a…
