@Acuity314 @CageyFlow @iamrahstradamus Here's where I'm with you. Giannis is still top 5 when healthy and his 50 points in close out Finals game doesn't get talked about enough

@acousticplayer @CageyFlow @iamrahstradamus If that’s your opinion I respect it. I just don’t see it that way. I take a lot longer to come around to these things. I think Jokic did enough this season to maintain his position. I still have Luka over Wemby tbh but I won’t fight that as much I believe they are very close.

The Spurs really beat a 60 win team EIGHT times in ONE season.

@Acuity314 @CageyFlow @iamrahstradamus I think he was, the market just hadn't caught up yet. Coming into the WCF San Antonio was 38-3 in last 41 games Wembanyama played at least 15 minutes including the playoffs. That's half a season

@acousticplayer @CageyFlow @iamrahstradamus It’s not an unreasonable take to think Wemby is the best player in the world. My mindset is like this “Boston will be a dynasty” .. OKC.. whose gunna beat Giannis? Jokic? LBJ/AD etc. Then it changes. Wemby wasn’t the best basketball player 8 weeks ago, so why is he now.

@Acuity314 @CageyFlow @iamrahstradamus I didn't say GOAT. He's best player in the league right now. If you disagree that's fine. Wemby finished 3rd in regular season MVP and just dominated the series without home court advantage over the MVP so not a stretch to say the belt has been passed

@acousticplayer @CageyFlow @iamrahstradamus I’m.. not coping wth? I hope Wemby wins the chip and more and gets into goat convos? I’m just not.. dumb? I didn’t call SGA the best player in the world last year either.. i had Giannis top 2 even after years of losing. I don’t overreact. Body of work & history matter.

@Acuity314 @CageyFlow @iamrahstradamus Wemby is the best player in the league bro. Defense counts too. He's about to take the title at 22 and he's not in his prime yet. Cope.

@CageyFlow @iamrahstradamus Genuinely if JDub played or Champaigne doesn’t hit as many threes as he did and Spurs lose , if you think Wemby is still the best player in the world np. That’s your opinion. It’s close to objectively wrong but not so wrong it can’t be an opinion. But is it just cuz he won?

Galatians 4:4 looks like a transition verse. “But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth His Son.” If you read it fast, it sounds like a timestamp. But if read slowly, it is the most staggering sentence in the Bible. ‘Fullness of time’. Paul isn't saying God picked a convenient moment. He is saying God declared a moment complete. “The preparation is finished and everything I have been building across centuries is exactly where I need it to be”. God looked at human history and said: now. Which forces the question. Why then? Why not a thousand years earlier, when Moses was fresh? Why not a thousand years later? What was so perfect about the first century? I started looking into it and I have not recovered. God needed a people with the theology. He spent 2000 years forming Israel; the covenant, the sacrificial system, the prophets, Isaiah 53 written seven centuries before Calvary, the framework of a coming Messiah who would bear the sin of the world. The Jews were shaped by wilderness, exile, and divine discipline, until the theological infrastructure for substitutionary atonement was fully in place. But theology alone could not travel. God needed a language. Not a tribal dialect, but a universal tongue. So five hundred years before the Gospel, He let the Greek philosophers begin. Heraclitus sat in Ephesus and concluded the universe was governed by an invisible rational principle. He called it the Logos. The Stoics built on it. Philo of Alexandria stood at the intersection of Greek thought and Hebrew scripture and said the Logos was the mind of God in creation. For five hundred years, philosophy built a conceptual category it could not fill. Then God sent a conqueror with no interest in theology. Alexander the Great wanted glory and empire. God let him want it. In satisfying his ego across three continents, Alexander Hellenized the ancient world and forged Koine Greek, the common tongue of the docks, markets, soldiers, and slaves. A language stripped of complexity, simple enough for anyone, universal enough for everyone. The Hebrew scriptures were translated into it. The Septuagint was born. God used a pagan conqueror’s ambition to translate His own Word. Then Rome came and paved the road. The Pax Romana. Piracy cleared. Stone highways stretching from Spain to Syria. A framework for movement the ancient world had never seen. None of them knew they were collaborating. Heraclitus thought he was doing philosophy. Alexander thought he was building a monument to himself. Rome thought it was building an empire for Rome. Not one of them understood they were stagehands. God was with Heraclitus in his pondering, with Alexander in his conquest, with Roman engineers laying stone, quietly requisitioning their work for a purpose none of them could see. And then, when the covenant people were in place, the language primed, the roads built, and the category ready, when everything He had been quietly assembling was finally set, God stepped into the room they had unknowingly prepared. John picked up his pen and wrote: “In the beginning was the Logos.” Every Greek philosopher in the Mediterranean felt the ground shift. “And the Logos became flesh.” The category they spent five centuries constructing was not a principle. It was a Person. The ‘fullness of time is not a timestamp’. It is God’s signature on a completed work. And the humbling thing is that this work was not built by saints. It was built by conquerors, philosophers, and emperors who thought they were writing their own story. God let them think that. And used every word. If this is not amazing then I don’t know what is.

This might be the impressive things I’ve ever seen done on a basketball court.

@BrettSiegelNBA You can't be this naive. Read your tweet again. You're right about the teams 'battling hard' through three quarters. Smh

Bad night for the “every team is tanking” crowd in the league tonight. Utah battled with Denver, who barely won in the fourth (despite Jazz pulling Filipowski/Sensabaugh). Memphis battled hard against Houston. Washington almost beat Golden State. Brooklyn is giving LA Lakers everything they can handle through three quarters. Indiana took LA Clippers to the final possession. There is NO tanking problem.

@Naam_Hi_Kafi_H Billie Eilish is the big winner in this opinion 🧐

@TrevorSheatz Trevor, I see that this is something you've shared repeatedly. Ask God to search your heart for any ulterior motive Everyone else, please treat this couple with dignity and grace Praise God for leaving the 99 to bring back the 1!

@TrevorSheatz Praise God for his redemptive work. No one is beyond His reach! What is a bit uncooth about this approach is: -- Scripture doesn't instruct us to boast in someone else's sin or share someone else's testimony, only our own, to the glory of God -- the marketing company, it's sus

My wife was formerly promiscuous. I was a virgin. She was then radically born-again. Committed to church, evangelized constantly, Puritan books in her bedroom, prayer journals, grief over past sexual sin, etc. We got to know each other well for over a year, dated for four months, engaged for two and a half, and didn't sin sexually with one another. Our first kiss with each other was at the altar on our wedding day (reaction pic attached!). We've been married for over five years now, and she's been the most wonderful and godly wife, mother to our three children, and homemaker you could imagine. She's more pure than most virgins, as biblical purity has less to with past sins (though they certainly matter) and more to do with one's current posture of the heart and daily decisions to honor the Lord (Matt. 5:8). We're far too quick to forget the story of the woman labeled as a known "sinner" (likely a prostitute) in Luke 7:36-50 who was washing Jesus' feet with her tears while kissing them too. The Pharisees were shocked that Jesus let a public sinner do this. Jesus responded with a parable about debts being forgiven and ended with this powerful conclusion: "Her many sins have been forgiven; that’s why she loved much. But the one who is forgiven little, loves little" (Luke 7:47). Everyone seems to highlight the benefits of virginity, and it certainly is a blessing. But we forget to highlight the benefits of being forgiven much as well. My wife knows the depths of Jesus' forgiveness more than most people, enabling her to more easily live out a life of passionate love for her Savior. A woman or man's past sexual sin matters. But what matters far more when it comes to deciding who to marry is if the person is truly born again, if their repentance is real, if they truly have a heart for Christ, if they truly follow Jesus and obey his commands. "God has chosen what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen what is weak in the world to shame the strong. God has chosen what is insignificant and despised in the world ​— ​what is viewed as nothing ​— ​to bring to nothing what is viewed as something, so that no one may boast in his presence. It is from him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom from God for us ​— ​our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, — in order that, as it is written: 'Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.'" (1 Cor. 1:27-31) "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, and see, the new has come!" (2 Cor. 5:17)

@CoffindafferFBI Oops take it down ma'am

@CoffindafferFBI Soliciting donations for this is tacky

Nancy Guthrie Just received concurrence from FBI Phoenix to start a billboard campaign today that will feature Porch Guy's face, in both Spanish and English. The Guthrie family has also given their blessing to this effort. The first billboards will go up at the choke points leading South to Mexico, West to California, and East to Texas out of Tuscon. A Go Fund Me has been set up and I will link to it later today to ask for help to fund the campaign If the billboard company requires compensation. Let's help bring Nancy Home and let's help find Porch Guy. Someone knows him! It's time to Break the Case wide open. #NancyGuthrie #NancyGuthrieCase @NewsNation @Newsweek @nypost @InsideEdition

🤣

in the 1700s they would’ve executed this guy for this

@suzi_craft @CoffindafferFBI @TVAshleigh Nanos can make a public statement someone is cleared and arrest them a day later. It holds no weight. There are examples of law enforcement doing this as a strategy

@CoffindafferFBI @TVAshleigh I don’t know who you’re talking about. Nor do I care. My question is how do you clear a person when they have no names and no suspects? That’s what the sheriff said. So are they lying about not knowing? I’m curious because nanos said they were cleared after a couple days.

There is one particular YouTube account that continues to post content indicating Tommaso Cioni is responsible for what happened to Nancy. (Not referring to @TVAshleigh) This account has 100s of 1000s of views and 100s of comments indicating support for the notion that Tommaso is guilty. This account discusses Tomosso's scheme in great detail. The Pima County Sheriff's Office has unequivocally denied involvement by any of the Guthrie Siblings and their spouses. A recent ruling concerning a TikToker who relentlessly named a professor as being guilty of the Idaho 4 murders has just had a $10 Million settlement levied against her for her false accusations. The account I am referring to does not seem to be concerned in the least about their exposure. Other than hoping for views (and it is working), what in the world is this YouTuber thinking. Their exposure is tremendous. If this account is wrong, I hope the family goes after them with everything they have. If the account is correct, than it will be the 1st time in 28 years of working joint investigations that a local commander, working with the FBI, Lied about something this consequential. I have also never seen a statement like below issued in a joint case without the support of the FBI. #NancyGuthrie #NancyGuthrieCase

You may be cool, but you'll never be as cool as a Mongolian Horseback Archer... 😎

Piper: “I have met people who cannot feel loved by God, it seems, unless their *own worth* as a person is the basis of God’s love for them. And therefore my whole theology is anathema to them. It makes me weep. The Bible does not teach that God loves us because of *our worth*. He loves us by sending his own Son to die for undeserving, ungodly enemies, thus *giving us worth* (Rom. 5:6–10). And that worth consists in the beauty of our conformity to his Son (Rom. 8:29). He loves us at the cost of the life of his Son in order to display the greatness of his grace in our beautification for his Son’s Bride. This is what it is to be loved for the glory of God.”
