@EWErickson And by all means, if the argument is not going your way, then characterize the others as too assertive!

Cyber bullies are still bullies whether going after Team USA or John Piper. Hyperpartisan, hyperonline, woke, and in need of some grass to touch. Stand up to bullies.

@EWErickson There, just quoting a few inspired verses.

“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness [except if it is related to what people are upset about on Twitter, and then you better not quote it]”

@EWErickson When a wise man has a controversy with a foolish man, The foolish man either rages or laughs, and there is no rest. Proverbs 29:9

@EWErickson Answer a fool as his folly deserves, That he not be wise in his own eyes. Proverbs 26:5

@EWErickson The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, But a wise man is he who listens to counsel. Proverbs 12:15

@EWErickson He who winks the eye causes trouble, And a babbling fool will be ruined. Proverb 10:10

@PsLuisVega @seanfeucht People who are not invading come legally. Ice is not going after people legally here.

@seanfeucht Isaiah 1:7 is NOT about immigrants, but about covenant judgment. Isaiah was rebuking Judah’s rebellion. The “foreigners” in that verse were invading armies like Assyria, not families crossing borders for opportunity. That text describes military conquest, NOT migration policy.

"Your country is desolate, your cities burned with fire; your fields are being stripped by foreigners right before you, laid waste as when overthrown by strangers." Isaiah 1:7 Christians have been warned about the miserable bondage that comes with illegal immigration.

@codeccpp @seanfeucht Isaiah 1:7 is also Scripture. Perhaps someone should explain it to you or perhaps it is not want you want to believe.

@seanfeucht John Piper quoted Scripture, and you’re upset because you understand exactly what it means, and it conflicts with what you want to believe. The devil is a liar and hates God's word. What kind of spirit is in you @seanfeucht?

@CovenanttCutt exactly

@EWErickson Why is it always about the group. Or some petty technical point. You never demonstrate that you can have an honest discussion with someone that you disagree with. When did that happen?

When Rubio was in the Senate, he’d quote the scripture reading of the day and the Left would freak out and rage. Some did that today to a pastor who quoted scripture. But it was the progressive right that freaked out.

@satxsam @meetuatthefence explain?

@meetuatthefence He literally gives an application *in the post* that has nothing to do with politics or immigration policy

The more I think about Piper’s sojourner post and it’s obvious connection to his opinion about our illegal immigration crisis, the more I’m convinced that Piper actually DOES know that he’s not applying a proper hermeneutic to that passage. I think that if he were in a room with Ben who presented to him everything in this excellent article, Piper would eventually agree after he was forced to drill down on the text. Ultimately it would become clear that his issue is with Trump’s tone or the manner in which criminal illegals are removed or any other number of “yeah but…” arguments. If pushed, I think Piper would agree that the Bible is very clear about the requirements for the sojourner but he just feels kind of icky about it. It’s ultimately a lack of courage rather than a lack of understanding. “And now, Lord, look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldness.” – Acts 4:29

@EWErickson The actual Word of God such as: "Has God said?" Gen. 3:1. So when does context matter and when does it not matter?

John Piper quoted the actual words of God Himself. And this is the reaction. He quoted the Holy word of God.

@dandarling Piper left off the opening "Hath God said?"

Y’all, John Piper quoted a verse. You can stop freaking out. It’s gonna be ok.

@MichaelRWear "Real people" who consider a man who "married" a six year old child to be a "Perfect man" are all a "real problem".

I am deeply concerned about the rise and return of anti-Muslim rhetoric, and I encourage Christians and civic leaders to reject it. I encourage those promoting this kind of rhetoric to understand it is not just some tactic in a political game or strategy, but has real, disastrous consequences for real people and communities.

@tweetraychang All TDS and nothing but TDS. Is it possible for you to feel how a Trump supporter must feel looking at you priorities?

If you truly believe in the grace and incredible patience of God - you will realize that empathy is not toxic.

@JSlaughterEsq Come back when the cops do not take bribes and the postal workers do not steal packages in Mexico.

I’m becoming convinced that America will be saved by the convergence of the Anglo/Hispanic. There is an intense pride, that certain Hispanic groups possess (particularly those that are of predominantly Iberian admixture) that produces the “strongman.” This coupled with Anglo organization and martial prowess may be the source a true American Imperium. But this can only work if Europe is revitalized and honored as a true ally and not a subject.

@peepeeLEpuke Always generous with other people's money taken by force and pretending that it is virtue.

So true

@AndrewTWalker I am not sure in what world Marco Rubio would not be included. "The concept is debated, with some, like C. Jay Engel, arguing it encompasses "Blacks of the Old South" and "integrated Native Americans," while others see it as , racialized, or nativist concept of a white republic

A student asked me this week where I stand on the “Heritage American” category. I can appreciate certain instincts behind it, even while judging the category itself to be too constrictive. Rubio’s speech clarifies why. By the narrow standards of those who speak of “Heritage Americans,” Marco Rubio does not qualify. Yet he has just delivered one of the most quintessentially American speeches in our history, uniting what some in our age insist is an unbridgeable chasm between propositionalism and peoplehood. It’s not. A people embodied a proposition and the proposition helped propel a people. Let’s resist the urge to forge a false dichotomy between these categories—if only because the answer to their unity is found in Americanism.

🚨 BREAKING: Sec. Marco Rubio just told Europe to their faces we are bound by CHRISTIAN FAITH, and must fight the climate cult and mass migration Based Marco! This is what I voted for! 🔥 “We are bound by centuries of shared history, Christian faith, culture, heritage, language, ancestry.” “In a pursuit of a world without borders, we opened our doors to an unprecedented wave of mass migration that threatens the cohesion of our societies, the continuity of our culture, and the future of our people.” “To appease a climate cult, we have imposed energy policies on ourselves that are impoverishing our people.” “We made these mistakes together. And now, together, we owe it to our people to face those facts and to move forward to rebuild.” “This is why President Trump demands seriousness and reciprocity from our friends here in Europe.” “We are connected spiritually and we are connected culturally…we know that the fate of Europe will never be irrelevant to our own.” 🔥🔥🔥

@maklelan Parts of the Bible are hard to understand....Yet it is the parts that are easy to understand that most trigger those who reject the authority of God Himself.

Lol, no, you don't believe in its authority. You believe in the authority of your tradition & whatever hermeneutic serves its interests. That's why you renegotiate, marginalize & ignore the biblical passages that conflict with that tradition & the currently preferred hermeneutic.
