@RyanLaytart @jess_ann_pin Psalm 82 and Deuteronomy 32 do not refer to human/earthly authorities but rather spiritual ones (sons of god - benei Ha Elohim). Angel is also not a class of being rather it’s a job title, messenger.

@WhoDeyTko @jess_ann_pin Yes, gods, lower case... even referring to earthly authority, doomed to die. Usually referring to Elohim (angels) or fallen angels. There's no contradiction.

Religious people are funny. Of all the hundreds if not thousands of gods humans have believed in, how do they know they got the right one?

@RyanLaytart @jess_ann_pin We do not get to project our 21st century worldview onto scripture. In the original languages the Bible repeatedly makes references to the existence of other gods. See Psalm 82 and Deuteronomy 32.

The other "gods" in the bible were unresponsive, when challenged. Baal, Asherah, Molech, Dagon, Chemosh, etc. Human inventions to replace the undesirable true God. Despite their absurd beliefs, God still chose to respectfully acknowledge their creations, because how else do you communicate with such a people?

@RyanLaytart @jess_ann_pin @RyanLaytart you don’t even know your own scriptures. Other gods do exist, they were just created by Yawheh. What makes Him different and the only one that is uncreated. He is species unique. Read Unseen Realm by the late Dr. Michael Heiser.

There is only one God. You can see very clearly how the people of this world have no problem making up a god to fit their needs. Read the bible in an honest pursuit and open heart. God desires a relationship with you, and He won't force it. Don't expect someone else to "prove" it. You can only prove it to yourself. The bible is full of challenges that you can apply. Ultimately, the message is pure. Love and be loved.

@crabtree_cody Takeo clears Odell in every way. Y’all don’t even know.

Odell Thurman. Ya’ll don’t even know.

@lukegeraty The already but not yet eschatological paradigm is a distortion of what the early church believed about the nature of the “Kingdom”, and easily demonstrated as such. Check out the Apocalyptic Gospel podcast episode on the history of the kingdom of God.

As a Vineyard pastor-theologian who is trying to navigate this Sacramental Charismatic tapestry, I have to say that all of this Bethel stuff has really highlighted just how important our Kingdom Theology is, our value of “everyone gets to play,” and how important embracing “best practices” from healthy safe-guarding wisdom are. In other words, Vineyard churches and Vineyard leaders should completely and entirely reject any of the Global Apostolic & Prophetic Movement or NAR influences. We really don’t need those influences given how they operate on completely different theological frameworks with different understandings of soooo many important topics. Sure, our theology SEEMS similar… but I can assure you that the differences are so major that we would be much better served in the following ways: 1. Go back to our early Vineyard sources like John Wimber, Don Williams, Alexander Venter, Derek Morphew, and our early Anglican influences like David Pytches, David Watson, etc. Those thinkers and practitioners were used by God to significantly influence the global Church with Kingdom Theology, empowering people to “do the stuff,” and a healthy desire for the Spirit’s activity. 2. Live in the tension of the “now and not yet.” This fuels our commitment to pray for the sick and expect miracles as well as helps us serve those who are dying and provide pastoral care through grief and loss. Like… seriously… the brilliance of Inaugurated eschatology is how BIBLICAL it is… and how it threads the needle between so many aspects of Jesus’ teaching in the Gospels and the Pauline corpus on life in the Spirit. 3. Our super-power is that there are no superstars. Read that again, repeat it, and burn it into your cultural DNA. That is how the Kingdom comes. 4. When we forgot our biblical theology and our commitment to empowering THE WHOLE CHURCH and got distracted by the Kansas City Prophets disaster and were influenced by Latter Rain theology, guess what? Evangelism and missions took a backseat. Baptisms stopped happening. Church planting wasn’t a priority. Discipleship wasn’t seen as cool as ecstatic worship experiences and having powerful prophetic ministry. And guess what? THAT👏WAS👏A👏MISTAKE👏 And that’s why I really DO NOT think that Bethel, the “Culture of Honor,” and all this Wagner-influenced Apostolic / Prophetic stuff should influence us. It’s shiny and sounds powerful (because they tell us it is), but there’s nothing as beautiful and transformative and has the potential to change the world than a bunch of normal-every-day-disciples “doing the stuff.” At least that’s my opinion. The bankruptcy of the global (A)postolic & (P)rophetic movement has been found wanting. And we really have much better options at our disposal. So I suggest we look back, look deeper, and look below… it will fare much better for us.

@not_our_guy Not to mention Brazil as a country is awesome. From a geography standpoint, one of the most diverse countries on the planet. Beautiful beaches, the Amazon, largest wetlands, rolling hills that would make the shire blush. And the people are some of the most genuine you will meet.

@not_our_guy This is hilarious. I’ve been married to a Brazilian woman for 15 years, together for nearly 20 (we met when we were still teenagers in Brazil). Best decision I ever made. A fantastic woman in all regards. She strives for excellence in all she does and is truly a blessing.

Webbon explaining he has a (white?) congregant who insists he "doesn't regret" marrying his Brazilian wife, claiming that he wouldn't "undo it". But that he wishes a person would have urged him to prayerfully reconsider marrying his wife.

@QueEngineering @Joel7Richardson I would say that is more of a post millennial view point. The church age is essentially the millennium. As the Gospel goes forth, they believe that the world will slowly but surely become more Christianized and eventually usher in a golden age which would prompt Jesus’ return.

@Joel7Richardson @WhoDeyTko Would the fairest version of this analogy be that both amils and post-mils believe that Jesus's 1st coming was the rock that "destroyed the power" of the statue, and that it "growing to cover the whole earth" is this age and that 2nd coming isn't represented in the vision at all?

The Premillennialist interpretation of Daniel 2 versus the Preterist / Amillennialist / Post-Millennialist interpretation. Which interpretation is faithful to the text?

@QueEngineering @Joel7Richardson Which is a comical interpretation when you look at history and the current state of the world. There is not a single nation on the earth that is currently being ruled in accordance with God’s law. Nations where Christianity once had a foothold are now revering back into paganism.

@Joel7Richardson The post-millennial view: the church will tear down the statue brick by brick until it's gone and then the stone will come after a golden age.

@dalepartridge Not without violent revolution you won’t. Many of those pagans are citizens. You think Muslims are going to go along quietly with this? Christendom 2.0 is the latest in a long line of Christian grifts. These guys are no better than the chrasamaniacs prophesying revival every year

Restoring America requires us to: 1. Submit to Christ 2. Attend Church Weekly 3. Close Commerce on Sundays 4. Mass Deportations of Pagans 5. Outlaw Islam, Hinduism, and Judaism 6. Outlaw Abortion and Homosexuality 7. Repeal the 19th We can do this in 10-15 years.

@NewStripeCity @Biz__9 @grok @NewStripeCity It’s the R&B/Soul artist JMSN. The clip is from his 2023 single entitled “soft spot” off the album by the same name.

@Biz__9 @grok where is this clip from

@zimwhodey Give me Koonce, Ossai and Oweh

Any Free Agent Edge defenders you all like on this list for ‘26?

@zimwhodey The only album you mentioned that’s any good is my dark and twisted fantasy which is largely driven by the features. Nas still has Godson and Stillmatic that I didn’t even mention.

Keep going… you named 2 albums. Jesus is King Yeezus Dark Twisted Graduation Life of Pablo 808’s & Heartbreak -Honorable Mention- Watch the Throne Get Well Soon Mixtape

@zimwhodey @RayRapOpinions College Dropout and Late Registration are great albums but on no planet do they touch Illmatic, It Was Written, and I Am….

@RayRapOpinions Easily

Kanye West has a better discography than Nas

@waltwhitmangoth @SWENGDAD IMHO woman shouldn’t be opening their legs to men with poor character and who demonstrate they are not husband/father to their future children material. This is coming from a man that’s been married 15 years and together for nearly 20 (since high school) with the same woman.

@WhoDeyTko @SWENGDAD should they? this would mean most men would be single as they are socialized to think following rules and caring about being a good person makes you gay/feminine.

@obscure_bengals Ki-Jana Carter at RB…he was the number 1 overall pick for the Bengals in 95 (they traded a high second round pick to move up to draft him) and amounted to nothing in the NFL. Barely had 1000 yards over an 8 yr NFL career.

Bengals All- Disappointment Team (Drafted players team 1999 and later offense) QB: Akili Smith RB: Chris Perry T: Ced Ogbuehi, Jake Fisher TE: Chase Coffman, Sean Brewer 🚬 G: Jackson Carman, Cordell Volson? C: Billy Price WR: Jermaine Burton, Jerome Simpson Who’d I miss?

@JennMGreenberg I find most Christian music/metal to be very shallow lyrically speaking. My favorite Christian band is A Hill to Die Upon. Lyrics are incredibly deep filled with a myriad of different subjects. The artist releases a mini book each album explaining the lyrics.

Favorite Christian bands: Skillet Demon Hunter Disciple Crowder What are yours?

@thatbrian There is more artistical, musical, and lyrical depth in extreme metal than anything Christians have put out in 200 years. As a genre that is supposedly divinely inspired, Christian music is surprisingly devoid of anything remotely resembling creativity.

@shekenahglory @Fred_Butler @thee_ppd @JoshDaws Do you really think Paul held a different view as it relates the millennial kingdom.

@shekenahglory @Fred_Butler @thee_ppd @JoshDaws In terms of your question - there really isn’t much to justifyLike Justyn Martyr - my view is the view of the prophets, apostles and Jesus. John believed in a literal millennial kingdom and the other apostles believed in a coming kingdom that would be established by the messiah.

Give me one good reason America shouldn’t pass a similar amendment. This doesn’t grant the government the right to compel belief. It merely acknowledges where government derives its authority and what it is authorized by God to do.
