Time to take back the narrative...

@IssuesEtc thank you so much for answering Gus' question..he really appreciated your explanations...much better than my answer :)

@IssuesEtc..my son Gus (8 YO) wanted me to ask Pastor Conner: Since Jesus holds all things together, why did the world not crumble when he died. I tried my best to answer, and I think I did answer a while ago, but I failed to answer well enough. We were hoping Pastor might help!

It works now! Thank you!!

@PastorAppel i think the sharper iron for april 13th is missing..i think the recording for the next day was posted Thanks again for the great series as always!

@DSPetolicchio Try Confessional Lutherans (LCMS, WELS, etc)

I've thought about becoming a Roman Catholic for about a year or so now. Some have suggested Anglican as I'm still opposed to the papacy and the necessity to pray through saints. I also don't buy that you have to be Catholic or Orthodox, specifically, in order to be saved. I think the core elements of Christianity are extremely simple. Not easy, but simple. I've been a Christian virtually all my life, but as I've aged, I've learned that most people add extra baggage onto their faith in order to seemingly keep themselves busy.

@KFUOradio Be seen as He sees me through what the Messiah has done? Idk if i explained this the best haha

@KFUOradio Hi Pastor Appel, do you think Isaac at the well "He sees me" could be a foreshadowing that the promise of Abraham's decendant will be applied to all people, not just the blood line of Isaac? Although the well was named in a more temporal manner, the promise "He sees me" can now

Upon Abraham’s death at the age of 175, Isaac and Ishmael join together to bury their father in the Promised Land. Even though Abraham has now died, the line of the Promised Christ continues. #SharperIron bit.ly/4aZEh4Q

@RevFisk... years ago you spoke about Adam and Eve being barred from the Garden of Eden and how entering Church by what Christ has done for us now can be a picture of entering Eden. Years later this picture was made. Flaming swords laid down as the Angles announce Christ's birth

Early Christmas present from my wife! Love it!

Pastor Bender's new series on @IssuesEtc is fantastic!! A blessing to families!

@PastorAppel @KFUOradio Thank you for sharing! Beautiful!

@Jbcollective @KFUOradio The sword removed the Baptist’s head, But Christ will raise him from the dead. The Greater One has gone before To give us life forevermore. Then let us daily die to sin And rise to righteousness with Him, And gladly suffer for His Word To witness to our risen Lord.

David sings the LORD’s praises and meditates on His blameless way. From that faith, David vows to reign with integrity of heart by looking to the LORD alone and rejecting the path of evil endorsed by the devil and the world. #SharperIron kfuo.org/2025/08/07/sha…

@WmWeedon @JoshuaBarzon Have you tried the EHV? What are your thoughts on it?

@JoshuaBarzon Less and less with each unacknowledged change.

Who likes the ESV?

"The Lord is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy. He will not always strive with us, Nor will He keep His anger forever. He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor punished us according to our iniquities. For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him; As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us. As a father pities his children, So the Lord pities those who fear Him. For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust." Psalm 103:8-14 I think we will be amazed one day when we finally understand how merciful and kind our God is. All our petty little squabbles will evaporate and we will see Him face to face.

@dondank69 @mdwfmom @darwintojesus Chimps...and in fact a common ancestor would not really be a viable option based on known mutation rates etc...so i think if anything this paper defends a Biblical worldview; but i appreciate the discussion...good to get into tje data again!

@dondank69 @mdwfmom @darwintojesus Actually there has been solid research claiming DNA diversity could come from 2 people; so im not entirely sure of your claims that anything proves or disproves anything...i think you can take the data from this paper and clearly see ...we humans are not "closely related" to

Are you an evolved monkey? For decades, we’ve been told that humans and chimpanzees are 98.8% genetically identical. The implication: you are little more than an unusually clever ape, just a bit less hairy. But new data is changing this myth about what it means to be human🧵

@dondank69 @mdwfmom @darwintojesus No

@Jbcollective @mdwfmom @darwintojesus The study proves the Bible is fiction though

@dondank69 @mdwfmom @darwintojesus They are in the supplement of the article reported above...sorry working off my phone so I have limited access, maybe i can screen shot later

@Jbcollective @mdwfmom @darwintojesus What “findings”? I’d love to see them

@dondank69 @mdwfmom @darwintojesus Im not sure I follow your line of argument; the findings show a large difference between chimps and humans which would be very consistent with a Biblical worldview

@Jbcollective @mdwfmom @darwintojesus They’re definitely there, and it proves the Bible is pure fiction

@dondank69 @mdwfmom @darwintojesus The results are definitely there, but you need to read the supplement; it has been reported elsewhere that this is the case.

@mdwfmom @darwintojesus I read the conclusion, you didn’t read it at all! Lmao
