Album of the month. Rites and Revelations by Laura Jurd. A sublime mix of jazz and folk. Her best work.

Literally everyone I know is being deemed too high risk for NHS therapy services. Bollocks.

The crucifixion of Jesus Christ was foretold in the Old Testament scriptures with remarkable detail centuries before it took place.

The cross wasn't Plan B. It was the plan before the foundation of the world. Good Friday isn't a tragedy God rescued. It's a victory God designed.

@wretched_jim It might surprise you to discover that your version of Satan is not found in the Old Testament

Satan’s theology is mostly orthodox. He knows who God is, knows the atonement was real, and affirms the resurrection. His problem was never intellectual. He understood everything but submitted to nothing. There are entire denominations built on that same foundation.

Duke of Devonshire's exclusive Mayfair bookshop occupied as fury grows over his decision to raise rents to Irish farmers from £500 to £5,000 His ancestors stole this land in 1753; this mad rent rise will force farmers off land that they have cultivated for hundreds of years

Douglas Murray is a fraud and an ignorant fool. His fancy posh accent has allowed him to pass off as an expert on geopolitics, Islam, war and peace, and other sundry matters. I just saw an interview with the BBC, involving him, in which he described Muammar Gaddafi as a jihadist. Gaddafi was a sworn enemy of jihadism and all its works. His lodestar was the Arab nationalism and socialism of Nasser. If Murray doesn't even know this, what else doesn't he know?
Wolf 🐺@WorldByWolf

I’m not sure most people realise that Douglas Murray’s only formal qualification is a third class bachelors degree in English Literature. By his own standards he isn’t qualified to talk about foreign policy, immigration, or Islam - all of which he’s built his career on.

@Jesvinquotes Odd then that the gospels are confused about Jesus’s birth, and say so very little about Jesus post resurrection appearances.

Did a fourth-century church council invent Christianity as we know it? It's one of the most popular claims made by skeptics today — that the divinity of Jesus and the contents of the Bible weren't ancient convictions, but later inventions, decided by committee at the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD. In this the 3rd episode of Can I Trust the Bible?, Wes and Andy head to Turkey and Italy, going straight to the source to find out whether there's any truth to these claims. Did the Council of Nicaea really vote on the Bible, or invent Christ's divinity? The answers might surprise you. Join us on this next adventure as we dig into one of church history's most misunderstood moments, separating myth from fact, and following the evidence where it leads. youtu.be/lpsKNd8tqHI?si…

@JoshuaLWatson History works on probabilities. A historian cannot validate a miracle.

An excerpt from the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy describing one of Bart Ehrman's arguments concerning miracles as crude & trading on a confusion between the probability of an event given the evidence & its probability independent of the evidence. Sounds right.

The Catholic Church in France is preparing for a record-breaking 21,386 baptisms during the upcoming Easter Vigil, which is a 20% increase from the previous year. Data from the French Bishops' Conference reveals that this surge is driven primarily by young people, with the total comprising 13,234 adults and 8,152 adolescents. This trend reflects a decade-long tripling of adult converts, many of whom cite a search for spiritual depth in a materialistic world as their primary motivation for joining the faith. 🇫🇷✝️🕊

🇻🇦 The Vatican has been shocked by the 'amazing' increases in adult baptisms once again this year in Western nations A cardinal close to the last three popes is quoted in Aleteia as saying: 'Something amazing is happening in France, with all these young people asking to be baptized. Perhaps this is a sign of a new springtime for the Church!'

@DrMikeLicona Also very odd that the gospels go into so little detail about the post resurrection appearances of Jesus.

The fact historians can't ignore. Paul knew that writing those names down was a massive risk if the story wasn't true. By telling people exactly who saw Jesus and pointing out that most of them were still walking around, he was essentially inviting his critics to go cross-examine them. You don't tell people to go interview 500 witnesses unless you are certain those witnesses are going to tell the same story. This wasn't a private vision or a vague feeling. It was a public event that stayed public because the people involved stayed alive to talk about it. 📀Watch the full episode: youtube.com/watch?v=IqX8TL… #resurrection #apologetics #history #christians #theologians
