My solution to deportation of illegals: 1) Give 6 months notice for free movement out of the US. 2) After 6 months, seize ALL property owned or possessed by any illegals, to include any house or apartment contracted to them, and any vehicle they are riding in. *100% self deport

@davidmn316 @B_A_Purtle No. Those 1,000 symbols were all used before. Where John didn’t directly explain the symbols, we have the context of Scripture.

@DriverXag @B_A_Purtle You can make words mean anything, when everything is just a symbol or an allegory. Too bad for you that’s not the way it works.

The return of Christ, the Millennium, and the Eternal State will mark the end of history as we know it, but not the end of history itself. Rather, they serve as the telos, the goal, the majestic covenantal capstone of history — the final age of glory irrevocably come.

@DavidMRice1967 @JeffVanderstelt Preachers, yes, pastors, no.

@JeffVanderstelt Careful, brother. We need to elevate the role of the preacher, not diminish it.

Of all the learning methods, lecture is the least effective (5% retention) of them all. If this is the case why do we still do so much of it in the church?

@SacrdCowTipping Only seeing it here. I am under discipline from my church for arguing that the congregation be allowed to nominate elders. CREC church. So I may be jaded.

I am continually encouraging by the rapidly growing number of people pursuing and returning to biblical ekklesia. I don't think it is just my algorithm, I am seeing it in the real world as well. Anyone else?

@davidmn316 @B_A_Purtle Revelation was conveyed entirely in symbols—over 1,000 symbols. 1,000 years is a very long time. Could be 10,000.

@DriverXag @B_A_Purtle So 1,000 years is actually 1,993 years? 🤦🏻

@B_A_Purtle The quicker Christ returns, the fewer people will be saved. 2 Peter 3:9 “The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”

The ‘gospel’ that produces a moralistic, works-based Christendom is one that’s devoid of biblical moorings. So is the ‘gospel’ that fails to produce a panting in its adherents for the bodily return of Jesus Christ.

@B_A_Purtle Which seems to me to neglect the particular attributes that belong to the present wildly successful and victorious reign of The Christ.

I would argue that the purported Christo-centric hermeneutic of many men isn’t Christo-centric enough, actually, for it neglects the particular attributes that belong to the return of the Christ [Messianic King] as spelled out with great detail in the sacred body of Scripture.

@jaysonyork The pastor as CEO model is the biggest L. Return to the biblical model of a plurality of elders and deacons applying a plurality of spiritual gifts—save the tithe for the poor and sick and the orphan and widow.

Unpopular pastoral opinion #2 Removing teens and children from the worship gathering or teaching settings for their own groups has been a net negative for the fortification and mission of the church. There are positives, there are negatives. Overall, it’s been an L.

@grok @Tema_le_batard @NoContextHumans @grok did you ever admit you got this wrong?

@Qba1l @Tema_le_batard @NoContextHumans It's France, clear as day on that map. What's got you calling me an idiot? 🗺️😂

only 0.01% of americans can name this country

@HilaireNereus A plurality of reputable elders, yes.

What we need is reputable pastors again...the kind folks can take seriously...

@sincead33 Jesus probably said I’m going to go talk to Moses and Elijah.

Do any commentators speculate on how the apostles knew it was Moses and Elijah talking to Jesus at the Transfiguration? Internal illumination?

@MyaView2 @lukeappleton Same.

@DriverXag @lukeappleton I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't understand scripture yet, but a day will come when all will be revealed to everyone.

Think about dispensationalism. Do global events move us closer or further away from what dispensationalists claim about the last days?

@MyaView2 @lukeappleton I know the verses. They say none of these things.

@DriverXag @lukeappleton Now I know why you're blind. You didn't even see the verses listed in the footnotes behind every explanation.

@espinoza_dy And ministry draws more narcissists than any other profession.

Spiritual abusive pastors always think you’re exaggerating. They never want to admit that they are the problem. The crazy thing is just how skilled they are in manipulating. Sometimes their “targets” know who they really are. It’s narcissism at its finest.

@KILLTOPARTY Means less than nothing.

Men look at every woman they pass. It means absolutely nothing.

@usuallypregnant Generally true under most circumstances.

Controversial take: Do you agree??

@BitPaine Not that bad if you are the 1% The end of the world if you are already falling behind— as most are.

Half a billion dollars a day is about 0.5% of US GDP. Really not that bad tbh.

@SacrdCowTipping @MikeWingerii

The modern pastor is completely unbiblical. This plague of worshipping self-elected professional sophists who dominate the gathering with weekly monologues ought to stop. We are a body, not one giant mouth and 1000 passive eats. These self-elected professionals who take on honorifics, the seat of honor, and center stage every Sunday are the villains. Their sunday morning suits, their rehearsed and scripted public prayers, their assumption of preeminence, and worst of all their silencing of the body of Christ - wake up.

I’ve talked to pastors who saw this and thought it seemed bad but that Paula was still a great person and safe servant of God. That callousness to one of the craziest red flags you can ever see is a pervasive problem. Power and influence seduce people, even pastors.

@MyaView2 @lukeappleton No scripture. Just made up drivel.

@DriverXag @lukeappleton Here is a glimpse of Jesus reign on earth when He returns to earth, but before the new heaven & earth, the New Jerusalem:

@TheRobertBshow Yes, but build a house that accommodates a grown son and his family in separate but attached quarters which respect his contributions.

Your adult son lives at home. He's helping run the family business. Saving money. Learning from his father instead of a corporate HR department. Building something instead of consuming something. The world says he's behind. Scripture says he's right where he should be.
