This from Todd Friel in 2020, is worse than any coarse language or crude joke, and I have yet to see any public admission that he wrong. In fact, he wore pinwheels on his head to a conference he went to later on, if memory serves.
Wretched with Todd Friel@WretchedNetwork
Don't use coarse language or crude jokes. Those are not the words that should come flying out of the mouth of a Christian who has been regenerated.

@LilaGraceRose The original purpose was to”good romance?”
Dating multiple guys at once is far from good romance and has always been sinful
English
We just talked about this on yesterday’s live — and how it was a mistake for the Bachelorette producers to choose clicks and scandal over the original purpose of the show — celebrating good Romance.
Pray for Taylor.

@megbasham @fahjo240849 Don’t you guys see how ridiculous this is and distracting it is. Two people arguing about a graph vs spending a single second trying actually and the problem
English
This is not true. Per capita, minority men offend at much higher rates than white men, and living at home with their biological mother and father is the safest scenario for a child.
I hate that we have to have these kind of conversations, but when you have major Christian celebrities passing bad information that could impact policy, it needs to be countered.

Sorry, but I really don’t care if parents consent to abusing their kids. It should still be illegal

@megbasham @Pastor_Gabe @MattChandler74 Can God bless a nation with Paula White in the white house and abortions still legal and promoted by the president? "They need more time to decide" his quote.
English
@Pastor_Gabe @MattChandler74 He did rebuke the Democrats too in this sermon, but that was kind of the point, that because both sides are bad Christians engaging in politics is dirty or something. That part wasn’t clear.
English
When I hear James Talarico in numerous interviews say that the the Right cynically manufactured a plan in the 70s to capture Christians by seizing on the issue of abortion, he doesn't sound any different to me than this.
Yet how many of our mainstream evangelical leaders who are slamming Talarico objected to Chandler's teaching that is immediately shown to be ridiculous when you remember when Roe was enacted?
Collin Rugg@CollinRugg
Dem Senate candidate James Talarico appears to suggest the Bible supports gay marriage & abortion because Jesus said to “love thy neighbor.” “The religious right… they convinced a lot of our fellow Christians that the most important issues were abortion & gay marriage.” “Two issues that Jesus never talked about.” Wolf in sheep’s clothing. Stay away from this guy.
English
@megbasham @Pastor_Gabe @MattChandler74 Wait you don't think Republicans aren't using Christians for votes? Trump is against the abolition of abortion, he is for Paula white being the spiritual advisor in the white house, he is against prosecuting pedophiles. What good has trump done for us besides maybe inflation?
English
@BenZeisloft Ben I love these graphs. Do they account for abortion pills ordered from out of the country docs/companies? Is that a common thing?
English
When any supposedly anti-abortion voice uses the euphemism “end a pregnancy” when referring to the murder of a preborn baby, you should immediately question whether that voice is actually anti-abortion.
Foundation to Abolish Abortion@AbolitionistFAA
There are a number of shocking misrepresentations and inconsistencies in this article from @emzanotti... 1) Notice how @emzanotti chose to describe the bill in the very first paragraph as a "misguided effort to punish women" who choose to "end their pregnancies," not an effort to establish equal protection of the laws for preborn babies who are still murdered under cover of law in Tennessee. 2) @emzanotti repeatedly claimed that abortion is essentially illegal in Tennessee. But because women who willfully have abortions receive complete immunity under state law, there are more than 5,000 preborn babies murdered every year through telehealth abortion on Tennessee soil, not to mention countless more self-managed abortions outside of the medical system. 3) Instead of seeing Pro-Life establishment groups in South Dakota linking arms with the pro-abortion ACLU to subvert a similar bill as a very obvious reason for concern, or a reason to question the credibility of the broader Pro-Life establishment, @emzanotti frames this betrayal as Pro-Life groups joining "forces with unlikely allies." 4) @emzanotti discusses a personal story about ectopic pregnancy as a reason not to support the bill, even as the bill explicitly allows "the undertaking of life-saving procedures to save the life of a mother when accompanied by reasonable steps, if available, to save the life of the unborn child." In other words, mothers who tragically lose their children to ectopic pregnancies, or to "a spontaneous miscarriage," cannot be prosecuted under this legislation. 5). @emzanotti falsely claims that "the bill also allows for retroactive investigations and prosecutions," even though these are banned by both the Tennessee Constitution and the United States Constitution, and even though the legislation is explicitly "prospective only and does not apply to any act committed prior to the effective date."
English
@BenZeisloft Are the telehealth abortions those provided by out of state providers in the US? Is it possible for women to order these pills from people who would not be required to report? i.e. different countries?
English
This is simply not the case.
Texas mothers can still murder their preborn babies with complete immunity and impunity.
There are still tens of thousands of preborn babies murdered every single year in Texas.
The laws written by your group protect this.

@swifthampton @shashigalore He literally just want congress to take back what the founding fathers gave them
English
@shashigalore The constant chronic criticism aligns with Liberals and anti and never Trumpers.
No productivity, no ideas, nothing.
English
I realized why I dislike him, despite agreeing with his politics 75% of the time.
Massie engages in constant, chronic criticism but never has productive solutions. He's a bitcher, a whiner, and constantly throwing a wrench in the gears.
He's tiresome, and stupidly wrong here.

For 47 years, Iranians have been waiting for this moment.
Presidents on both sides of the isle avoided this.
This is a VERY HEAVY decision on the President that comes with a ton of burden.
If & when we succeed, the world will be a safer place.
English
@megbasham Maybe but they should ask questions not start accusing
English
One final thought hit me on this whole accusation that if someone assumed that a Bible verse posted without context was meant to be a commentary on a hot button social issue it means they are "triggered" or guilty of worshipping idols.
A scenario. If, given the discourse on this site, I posted, without context, Matthew 27:25:
“His blood be on us and on our children!”
Or 1 Thessalonians 2:14–16:
“You suffered from your own people the same things those churches suffered from the Jews 15 who killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets and also drove us out. They displease God and are hostile to everyone"
A lot of people would be concerned about the ideas I'm espousing and who's influencing me and rightly so.
English
@megbasham Paula white the spiritual advisor to the White House? Trump promoting Kenneth Copeland as a godly man and having him pray for the nation.
Are you aware of these?
English
I learned of it yesterday when Erick brought t up and it’s a fair point. I don’t want surgeon generals who practice or endorse Wicca. I can’t think of anything more scientifically discrediting.
Erick Erickson@EWErickson
Christian, the Administration you support is pushing a Wiccan for Surgeon General. Please stop whining about the decline of the nation if you aren't willing to stand up to your own side for pushing someone who practices witchcraft.
English
If all we are doing is sharing scripture on social media (which I like!), why the rebuke for those who simply added more context and further scripture to the discussion without condemnation?
English
@JoshDaws @alisa_childers It appears he posted the same verse exactly a year ago as well.
English
This passage is repeatedly abused by leftists for the purpose of emotionally manipulating Christians. It’s such a problem that @alisa_childers had to address it in a video a few weeks BEFORE the Piper controversy. To casually toss it out there without proper explanation is negligent at best.
Alisa Childers@alisa_childers
Leviticus 19:33-34 is not a proof text for open borders. Since it’s currently being butchered all over the internet, I hope this helps.
English
@megbasham Someone else's lack of clarity doesn't excuse immediate attacks, it can be an opportunity to help a brother or sister communicate by asking questions. I don't understand your desire to justify all the attacks with little to know desire to try and understand first.
English
“A text without context is a pretext for a prooftext.”
-John Piper
English
@megbasham I’m not even saying he wasn’t doing what most claimed he was, but still a question first is most charitable to a brother in Christ.
English
@megbasham The problem that was exposed is everyone jumped in to accuse, and no one said “John can you clarify why you are posting this please.”
English
Maybe this is a learning moment. I would like for some to consider, what if, at the height of Trump‘s “grab them by the blank“ controversy, a pastor with the recognition of a John Piper had simply posted “judge not lest ye be judged.”
Do we think that most people would’ve assumed he was intending it to relate to the biggest news of the day?
And if he didn’t intend that, do we think that he probably would’ve clarified? And if he didn’t clarify, do we think that the post would get a reaction?
PrestonBrashers@PrestonBrashers
John Piper announced he was following a Bible Reading Plan two months ago and regularly posts two verses a day (6am and 6pm) from it. On Feb. 25 he was on Leviticus 19. His other recent posts are also passages from the plan (see Replies). Not everything is about politics.
English
@SlowToWrite Thanks I have been thinking this the whole time thanks for sharing
English
Brothers and sisters,
Have you considered that John Piper might not be saying what you think he is saying?
Love believes and hopes all things.
Unless you know, for sure, what his intentions with the tweet are—it would be wiser and more loving to assume the best.

“You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.” Leviticus 19:34 Christians know the miserable bondage we were all in.
