Tyler Cowden

The gospel is the good news that because Jesus Christ the Son of God died for our sins, rose again, and was enthroned in heaven, the kingdom of God--God's benevolent rule of ordering and filling, through human beings bearing His image--has begun to be restored.

@nsxanders I learned a bunch of questions from Bruce Benedict's songs. I don't know who Eddie Vedder is.

The WSC songs by Holly Dutton are wonderful. I just kind of wish there was a version with a voice like Eddie Vedder's singing the lyrics.

Psalms As Musical Ballast "Without a restoration of the psalms to an honored place in worship, our musical worship of the Lord will continue to have the gravitas of a glad bag full of styrofoam packing peanuts" (Mother Kirk, p. 138).

@9mmsmg good to hear. must be significant individual variability based on how people metabolize it or something. what form? P5P?

@stcowden I've had zero after being on for a very long time.

I'm a very high strung and tense person. If anyone ever needed Xanax, it's me. Unfortunately, benzos are an absolute nightmare and I simply won't take them. My safer alternative is my own anti-anxiety stack that has worked wonders. 1. L-Theanine - An amino acid from green tea that promotes alpha brain waves and can boost GABA, serotonin and dopamine while reducing cortisol. I take 200 mg in the AM and 200-400 mg about an hour before bed. 2. Magnesium glycinate - A highly bioavailable form of magnesium. It's able to regulate NMDA receptors which in turn blunts excitatory signals. It also helps relax muscles and nerves and blunts your stress response. I take 200 mg in the AM and 200 mg before bed. 3. B6 - A cofactor for neurotransmitter synthesis. Enhances GABA production and showing real promise in reducing anxiety. I take 50 mg a day. 100 mg doses you risk neuropathy and really need to get monitored. 4. Na- Selenk Amidate - It influences brain chemistry by boosting calming signals like GABA which balances your stress response. Id say it gives calming effects similar to a low dose of Valium without any sedation of altered status. There's no benzo brain fog. You don't "feel" anything. It just improves your mood, focus and cognitive clarity. I inject 250 mcg 5 days a week. This is the heavy hitter of the stack and is popular in Russia as a medication (often as a nasal spray for fast acting anxiety relief) This is what works for me. I'm no longer a high strung lunatic but I'm not a benzo zombie. I feel stressed when something warrants it. It simply stops my brain from jumping to DEFCON 1 over things that don't require it.

@JoshuaBarzon Nice try, CIA

What's an opinion about the government that will get you into this situation with the government?

@DrFrankTurek They can be brutally demonically oppressed, perhaps to the point of being legitimately called "demonized." Perhaps. "Possession," which is not the literal meaning of any NT Greek related to these ideas, is not possible, because Christians "belong" to Christ and not to Satan.

Can Christians be demon-possessed?

yes youtube.com/watch?v=7CO8ho…

Not a keto zealot myself, but this is crucial research, and in my opinion points to disrupted ordinary glucose metabolism in the brain as a key mechanism of many mental health disorders. Energy metabolism governs everything.

@JoshuaBarzon Possibly CREC, or if non-Presbyterian, probably a (Reformed-leaning) Anglican/Episcopal church. Sometimes, though, I wonder whether I would prefer conservative Lutheranism over Reformed Anglicanism...

If had to go to a different denomination church than the one you currently go to, what would it be?

@SBakerMD @ChrisMasterjohn Ask him about individually rare but aggregately common genetic energy metabolism bottlenecks that are nutritionally actionable.

@SBakerMD @ChrisMasterjohn is the GOAT

@JoshuaBarzon Kinda sorta not really. More like...been stretched...

Has your view on baptism changed in the last 10 years?

@DavidFischer E. NASB (1995) (mostly). Also use ESV here and there, NET with notes, others randomly/for various reasons.

Christians Only: Which Bible version do you read? A. KJV. B. NKJV. C. NIV. D. NLT. E. NASB. F. Combination of versions.

Not sure who needs to hear this but… Peanut butter isn’t “high protein.”

@nicknorwitz "Patient" is unfortunate terminology indeed, implying total passivity.

Excellent. youtu.be/KZHidUnznS8?si…

@JoshuaBarzon youtu.be/KZHidUnznS8?si…

@JoshuaBarzon Hopefully not, but from a prophetic standpoint particularly, don't care.

Do you believe that a new Jewish Temple will be rebuilt in Jerusalem one day?

Or at very oldest, -90

Luke 1:44 implies that catechesis can and should begin at -270 (that is, negative 270) days of age.
