Last Sunday's syncretistic gathering was chock full of non-Christians, heretics, false teachers, and compromisers. How dare we declare God's blessings over us while standing in bold and high handed defiance of Him! Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? Luke 6:46 Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? Or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever? Or what agreement has a sanctuary of God with idols? 2 Corinthians 6:14-16a Anyone who goes too far and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. The one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not give him a greeting, for the one who gives him a greeting participates in his evil deeds. 2 John 9-11 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, in Your name did we not prophesy, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name do many miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.’ Matthew 7:21-23 Remember OT Israel's syncretism and idolatry, and REPENT! michellelesley.com/what-must-i-do…

For the 250th anniversary of our independence, we rededicate the United States of America as one nation under God. Last Sunday’s gathering was an important moment in our history. May the Lord grant us all the courage and conviction to preserve this extraordinary republic.

@MichelleDLesley It is hypocrisy to say you do not support women pastors and then admit women to preaching classes.

Just got verbally attacked on the issue of women "pastoring"/preaching on my FB page by a woman who has an MDiv and a DMin from NOBTS and is now a "family pastor" at a Methodist church. What are our SBC seminaries teaching people these days?🤔

@GrahamAllen I think it’s pretty awesome that after a whole war, POTUS was able to negotiate a deal leaving Iran exactly as we found it before the war. Nobody else could’ve made that deal. Impressive.

Southern Baptists of various stripes have spent years trying to fix the issue of churches with women pastors being allowed to stay in friendly cooperation. Why would someone with influence in the SBC propose an amendment that tries to distract from that effort?

@AndrewKStephen1 Nope I don’t adhere to either one. I don’t believe in total depravity (neither did the early church fathers btw). I’m a traditionalist not the rigid legal framework of those soteriologies.

No, Brit, they still don’t have strategic cards to play. A few months of slowed RU advances does not, in any way, indicate the war is turning. It means Ru has slowed, and there are many reasons for this, and some of them may not be good for Ukraine. Meanwhile, intelligence indicates Russia is massing for a new Summer offensive, which could return things to the previous three years of forward momentum by the Russian side, at high cost of the Ukrainian side. But the fundamentals of a war of attrition are unchanged. Ukraine still has millions of fewer men to draw from than Russia, they still have dramatically less production capacity, and are literally on economic life support from Europe. Russia, on the other hand, continues to expand its industrial base, is flush w cash bc of higher oil prices, still has many millions of men from which to recruit (still having not resorted to forced mobilization), and it’s stockpiles of ammunition are substantially higher than they were before the war. All this leads to the inescapable conclusion that Russia’s advantages in this war will never switch from one side to the other, plus, Russia has the trump cards: nuclear weapons, which Ukraine does not. Why is this hard to understand?
Brit Hume@brithume

Someone should ask VP Vance if he still thinks Ukraine has "no cards to play."

@jonharris1989 I agree with the post but is there an article or a video of yours speaking of what you refer to in the second paragraph?

Do you want to uphold our Christian past, not as a slogan, but as a real tangible reality full of theology, mores, and virtue? Or, do you want to fundamentally destroy it or redefine it according to a revolutionary formula? That’s the social dividing line folks.

@CherylSchatz OK. So some random, anonymous calvinist responds with something that no normative calvinst believes.

Is this a heresy? This Calvinist responded to me claiming that “man was never made in the image of God!” and that “only the elect are made in His image.” Do other Calvinists believe that only the elect are made in the image of God and that in the creation of man, that God NEVER made man in His image? Do the elect constitute a distinct, elevated class of humanity?

@jonharris1989 I totally agree. The worst problem we have right now in that respect is the huge influence of the Israel lobby that pretty much owns Congress (and the President).

Direct foreign influence, and the influence of domestic interest groups that favor foreign alliances, will end in the United States when the our country ceases to be an empire.

@MichelleDLesley I think they are false teachers in many places because they engage in rebellion. However, in places such as the Pentecostal tradition I was raised in, it is ignorance born of erroneous, but sincere, traditions and a lack of exegesis.

It's a question someone asked me a long time ago: "Are female 'pastors' and preachers false teachers, or are they just sinning?" wp.me/p1qdEF-a1F

@MichelleDLesley @FGHart Sadly, a local SBC church (Booneville, MS) gave their graduating girls Jesus Calling books. I might not have been suprised at this lack of discernment 10 years ago, but now?

@MalcangiSarah I totally agree. I have found his work stimulating, even if I did not agree with him on everything. I do not understand the hostility we are seeing right now.

The amount of hate coming from Christians regarding the late Dr. Michael Heiser is disturbing. Most of these people haven’t even read his books. They just repeat misrepresentations of him. Dr. Heiser definitely challenged the way I thought about the spiritual world and the word Elohim. Elohim doesn’t always refer to God (Yahweh). In some verses it clearly refers to Elohim as other spiritual beings. The church doesn’t teach us this because so few want to correct church tradition. Dr. Heiser inspired me to dig into scripture and history and I wrote this article a while ago about the Sons of God in Genesis 6. I will forever be grateful to Dr. Heiser. Who Are The Sons of God In Genesis 6? discoveringtruth.org/?p=171
