If you live in or around the Roanoke area, you won't want to miss this year's Men's Conference with retired pastor George McDearmon, April 10-12.

@SteveMeisterVDM Also, "gospel" is a verb too. "Gospelize"!

*taps the sign* Stop using “gospel” as an adjective. The gospel is the good news of God’s work in Christ, not a modifier of our work as Christians.

@SteveMeisterVDM evangelical obedience

@dgh5391 (My co-pastor is on a sabbatical) What did I miss?

Apparently Reformed Baptists will argue about the Sabbath and sabbaticals.

Found my new favorite Greek ligature (yes, the fish is a Greek word but not ιχθυς). It is even accented!

@SteveMeisterVDM hahaha!

I’d vote for any candidate who makes it illegal to say δύναμις (dunamis) in the New Testament is “dynamite power.”

Mass shootings are not a gun issue or a mental health issue. It is a sin issue. If we let the evil gunman off the hook by blaming either the guns or some illness, then he is no longer considered evil and society will descend deeper into the bloodshed of the innocent.

@NickJFreitas @Sadie_NC No... you're not a democrat

@Sadie_NC Can I vote ICE more than once?

ICE, I choose ICE!!!!! All day, every day!

@CovenantReform2 Fully? Ha! Not exactly. But I'm getting stronger.

@timldecker How are you doing? Are you fully recovering?

Two very important words in Greek: ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ

In honor and reminder for my new goveno, I raised a new flag.

@pjgurry What word?

Wasn’t ready for BDAG to quote Shakespeare as an example, but here we are.

Open commie and muslim... what the what? May his reign of terror be short!

@navarro_chaz Even prior to creation in the immanent Trinity. From what was God jealous when God was all that was? Forgive the human-temporal language.

@timldecker I said absolute because God is jealous for Himself and His glory, and His people, and that never changes.

If God's name is Jealous (see Exo 34:14), would you say his jealousy is a:

Only 31 votes so far. Weigh in!

@OzarksJon @ShawnWGillogly @SiliconConley That is a different category. It doesn't answer whether inbthe imminent Trinity, the God head was jealous.

@SiliconConley As it correlates to theologia and oikonomia, at least to Athanasius.

@timldecker My pattern has been to simply deny that wrath is an attribute of God. We’re just working with different vocabulary at this point. I’d be curious how far back this distinction goes.

@ShawnWGillogly @SiliconConley A. A. Hodge: An absolute attribute is a property of the divine essence considered in itself: e.g., self–existence, immensity, eternity, intelligence. A relative attribute is a property of the divine essence considered in relation to the creation: eg, omnipresence, omniscience...

@SiliconConley @timldecker This is how I would define it as well. I suspect he means something else. But God is perfection in all His character. Perfection cannot be relative.

@SiliconConley Even wrath?

@timldecker All of God’s attributes are absolute because he is absolute, but I suspect you may mean something else?
