@Truth_matters20 Agreed. I wonder if Matt has the same critique for most of what Paul wrote of his own past as Chief of Sinners.

"Christians these days often tend to be far too eager to tell the entire world about their past sins, which in most cases shows a lack of discretion and a certain lack of the sort of shame one should feel even for repented sins."
When you have your sins forgiven, Matt, you want to tell the whole world about how Jesus has forgiven you. You want to let others know that there is hope for them too if they would repent and turn to Jesus.

My take on the current discourse about the Christian man with the formerly “promiscuous” wife is that many of the comments towards the man and his wife have been uncharitable, cruel, and certainly un-Christian, but also that Christians these days often tend to be far too eager to tell the entire world about their past sins, which in most cases shows a lack of discretion and a certain lack of the sort of shame one should feel even for repented sins. Also, as a parent, I strongly believe that you generally should avoid telling your kids about your own wayward youth, because the kids will take such stories as an indication that they too can go off and have fun sinning and things will turn out okay, just as they did for you. Also you undermine your own moral authority when you instruct your children not to do the very things you have admitted to having done yourself. Finally, the man’s line about how his wife “is more pure than most virgins” is prideful and shows a kind of competitiveness and vanity that should simply not ever appear in any Prodigal Son style testimony. Imagine if the Prodigal Son had returned and announced himself not only repentant but “more pure” than the brother who stayed? It would kind of destroy the point of the story. So in summary I basically disagree with everyone on this.

@CbirdArcher @jenanamericngal Literally you. She said "Virginity should be honored." First sentence.

Virginity should be honored, but it doesn’t make you more righteous before Christ.
Sexual sin isn’t the unpardonable sin, & it’s not exclusive to women.
Some of you show more grace to murderers than to former adulteresses though you’re guilty of the same.

James Talarico... you can't love your neighbors and abort them. If you wouldn't want to be poisoned and dismembered, then why do you support that option for babies?
You cannot love your neighbors and support the destruction of their bodies via wrong sex hormones, puberty blockers, and double mastectomies.
The gender-deceived kid who was illegally rendered permanently sterile is your neighbor.
You can't love your neighbor and support the infiltration of illegal foreign criminals who will kill
them. Jocelyn Nungary, a teen who was murdered by two illegals in Houston, was your neighbor.
You can't love your neighbor and call for the abolition of prisons, which you have, James Tallarico. Jacqueline Wilson was a Houston mom of four, 32 years old. She was reportedly murdered by her ex-boyfriend who was released from prison by a progressive judge despite being a violent offender. She was your neighbor.
You can't love your neighbor and deny the gospel that saves their souls as you have so many times when you've asserted that all religions point to the same truth that Jesus
points to.
You can't love your neighbor and support the chaos that kills them. You can't love your neighbor and lie to them. You can't love your neighbor and affirm sin. You can't love your neighbor while hating the things that God hates and loving the things that satan loves and you do.
You are an insult to Christianity. Your beliefs are an affront to the Imago Dei and I look forward to Texans showing you out of politics in November and hopefully you are shown out of the pulpit as well.
English
@TheQuartering Probably. To be fair the trailer doesn't look awful and Nick Frost is S-tier casting as Hagrid. However, I don't think I can forgive the casting of someone described as:
“... greasy, black, shoulder‑length hair, a hooked nose, and sallow skin.”

First, look at Severus Snape in the Harry Potter series.

I had the opportunity to sit down with @TrevorSheatz and @AshleySheatz to talk about the marriage testimony that broke the internet. I encourage you to watch the full video before drawing any conclusions. youtu.be/Dc4Jm7UnMg8?si…

@RayComfort @TrevorSheatz @AshleySheatz Watching it now, love that you opened it up with @realDailyWire @benshapiro @michaeljknowles and @andrewklavan 's childish, immature and ignorant comments. They should all be ashamed and publicly apologize to Trevor and Ashley.
English
@farmingandJesus I'm not a Calvinist, but seeing a heart that hardened makes me question that maybe there is an elect and that is NOT one of them so why bother.
That type is also why I'm not, because you're right, that heart can also be opened up by the Gospel.
English
@TheMiddleborne My suggestion if it's otherwise decent, we use AI to recast Snape to Alan Rickman and create the Fixed Snape Bootleg Special Edition.
And in fairness, Nick Frost as Hagrid probably couldn't have been better cast.

They’re setting this in the modern day aren’t they?

First look at Draco Malfoy in HBO’s upcoming ‘HARRY POTTER’ series. Premiering this Christmas.

@TheMiddleborne I'll have to go back and watch it again, maybe he did agonize over it some. Not yellow-kryptonite-my-powers-away levels of agony though :D
English
Superman agonizing over being forced to kill someone isn’t consistent with his character? It’s treated with utter seriousness and not a hint of flippancy. There isn’t a flippant moment in any of Snyder’s DC films
The comics have always had a problem when it comes to no killing. They do it so they can bring villains back, not because it’s moral. And the stakes have to be low or have a ridiculous ex-machina to solve that issue.

@UsedToReadOnly @Protestia @GoAvs14 @TrevorSheatz @AshleySheatz @michaeljknowles I mean, the target was DW, so weren't we? :D

@Protestia @GoAvs14 @MiMuFPV @TrevorSheatz @AshleySheatz @michaeljknowles I support you. Let’s just get back to heretic hunting!
English
The Daily Wire hosts mock and make fun of @TrevorSheatz for his viral "My wife was formerly promiscuous. I was a virgin" tweet.
All the while, they show they don't know anything about the situation, or the fact that his wife @AshleySheatz has been sharing her testimony for years- it's been pinned to her profile since 2019- as a testament to God's mercy and lovingkindness.
English
@TheMiddleborne I think putting him killing in the first movie in the series was flippant. Henry Cavill was perfectly cast, though, and I would have loved to see a later version of that comic arc in film in that universe.
English
@TheMiddleborne Killing Zod was made to be the only way to end that fight, but it's not consistent with Superman's character. Check out the "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?" arc by Alan Moore. It's about Superman having a moral crisis after killing and ending his own powers.
English
@ArnabMubashir @InspiringPhilos I get you :D Islamic Pearlemics is more like it.
English
My take aways from the trailer.
- It doesn't look awful.
- I don't know why it needed to be made.
- The Snape casting decision will probably result in this failing more so than it not needing to be made.
- RIP Alan Rickman. Perhaps if this film is decent we AI edit him in.

“His hair was greasy, black, and shoulder-length, and he had a hooked nose and sallow skin.”
Definitely book accurate.

@GoAvs14 @Protestia @UsedToReadOnly @TrevorSheatz @AshleySheatz @michaeljknowles I disagree that they were ignorant, for even if they 'didn't know' because they weren't paying attention to their own replies, it's not too much to expect a billion dollar news / opinion company to do a bit of research before they go live and slander someone on a podcast.
English
@GoAvs14 @Protestia @UsedToReadOnly @TrevorSheatz @AshleySheatz By the time they went to air with this show it had been posted for over 24 hours and the knowledge that she openly shared her testimony had been repeated thousands of times. In fact @michaeljknowles had replies to his own post pointing that out.
