τετέλεσται Tetelestai It is Finished

Paul’s letters were written in the middle of real history. Missionary journeys. Persecution. Imprisonment. Churches being planted across the Roman world. From Thessalonians to Romans to the prison epistles, these writings were not abstract theology. They were letters written to real churches facing real struggles. And they still shape the church today.

No cap.

@LeeStrobel @MarkMittelberg Was great seeing you both at the event @LeeStrobel and @MarkMittelberg. Seems like a wonderful ministry to be a part of!

Big event tonight in Tampa with Apologetics Inc. ⁦@MarkMittelberg⁩ & I are now Senior Affiliates with this dynamic ministry. Here we are with Mark and his wife Heidi & their son Matthew, who is a staff apologist.

Muslims across the Middle East and beyond are reporting dreams of a man in white, surrounded by light, telling them their sins are forgiven. A 16-year study by Fuller Seminary found that 27% of Muslim converts to Christianity reported dreams or visions of Jesus before converting. In countries like Iran, that number may be as high as 40%. God is moving in places we cannot reach. He is walking into dreams. Even in the darkest places, Jesus is still calling His sheep.

@DanielvsBabylon “Remarriage is adultery” is too simplistic of a statement and doesn’t accurately describe the Biblical stance, not even what Mark 10:12 alone says.

Man attempts to commit suicide, has after death experience where he descends into hell. Says he immediately knew he was a sinner that deserved to be there. God wants you to choose Christ as Saviour before it’s too late. 🤍✝️

We wouldn’t be here if the universe were even slightly different. This is what scientists call the fine-tuning problem. The more we study the cosmos, the clearer it becomes: the physical laws of our universe are finely tuned – balanced precariously atop a hill. If the strength of gravity were just a fraction weaker, galaxies wouldn’t form. If the strong nuclear force were slightly stronger, stars wouldn’t burn. If the expansion rate of the universe were off by one part in 10⁶⁰, matter would either collapse into a single point or spread so thin no stars could ever ignite.

@gCMG_Obv @Fragbaza Since God exists outside of time, He has no beginning, and logically needs no cause. God doesn’t need me or anyone else to defend Him, He is relational and uses people to spread the good news, that you can have a personal relationship with the creator of the universe too.

@TheologeticsOrg @Fragbaza "If premises begin to exist without reason, then conclusions drawn from them are also without reason." So. How did your "god" begin to exist? You are not presenting any verifiable evidence for any gods. Present verifiable evidence or you are just making stuff up

In the Hebrew Bible, the Ark is called a tebah. This word appears only twice in the entire Hebrew canon: once for Noah’s Ark, and once for the basket that carries the infant Moses on the Nile. Linguistically, tebah does not mean “ship” or “boat.” Hebrew has other words for seafaring vessels. Tebah means container, chest, or enclosed vessel—something designed to hold and preserve, not to navigate. That distinction matters. The Ark is never described as being steered, sailed, or piloted. Noah is not portrayed as a captain. There is no rudder, no sail, no navigation. The Ark floats because it is meant to endure, not to travel. Its purpose is preservation, not transport. Genesis 6 gives exact dimensions: 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, 30 cubits high. Scholars have long noted that these proportions—roughly 6:1:0.6—are remarkably stable for large cargo vessels, even by modern engineering standards. This doesn’t mean ancient authors had modern naval science, but it does suggest intentional proportional design, not mythic exaggeration. What is more easily overlooked is the instruction that governs what goes inside. The text does not emphasize saving every animal, or even pairs in a literal sense. The repeated phrase is “according to their kinds” (leminehu). This is not modern biological taxonomy, but it is a classification system. It implies categories, not individuals; continuity of type, not population size. That is why some modern readers are tempted to see the Ark as something like a “biological vault.” The story’s concern with kinds, boundaries, and limits becomes even more striking after the flood. Before the flood, the text describes extraordinary lifespans—hundreds of years. After the flood, lifespans decline sharply over generations until they approach something recognizably human. The text never explains this biologically, but it clearly marks a constraint introduced into the system. The world that emerges after the flood is narrower, more regulated, and governed by new rules. God establishes boundaries: seasons, mortality, dietary laws, violence restrictions, reproduction limits. The flood is not just destruction—it is recalibration. Seen this way, the Ark functions as a narrative hinge between two worlds: an unstable, transgressive antediluvian era and a constrained, covenant-bound post-flood humanity. The Ark preserves what is permitted to continue and leaves behind what is not. That does not require believing in a literal global flood or rejecting geological evidence. Many scholars interpret the flood as regional, mytho-historical, or theological storytelling grounded in real disasters such as Mesopotamian river flooding. What matters is not the water level, but the meaning encoded in the story. The Ark is a container of continuity. It holds the blueprint of a world meant to continue—ethically, biologically, symbolically—under new custodianship. Noah is not a conqueror or hero. He is a caretaker. A steward. A witness to collapse who is tasked not with rebuilding creatively, but with preserving faithfully. In that sense, the Ark is not about escape. It is about restraint. It is about selecting what survives not based on strength or dominance, but on classification and order. Chaos destroys. Containers preserve. The Ark is a boundary drawn against dissolution. Whether one reads the story as theology, mythology, philosophy, or cultural memory, its power lies in that idea: that civilization survives catastrophe not by carrying everything forward, but by carefully choosing what must endure. The Ark is not a boat racing through a storm. It is a vault waiting for the waters to recede. And the question it leaves us with is not “Did this happen exactly as written?” but something far more unsettling and relevant: If our world collapsed tomorrow, what would we choose to preserve—and who would decide?

@gCMG_Obv @Fragbaza According to yours. If premises begin to exist without reason, then conclusions drawn from them are also without reason. If there is no God, all initial human premises about the external world begin to exist without reason. Your conclusions are grounded in nothing.

@TheologeticsOrg @Fragbaza According to who's "logic"? You need a shrink.

@gCMG_Obv @Fragbaza Logically God has to exist. For example, using reason without a basis for its veracity (God) is self-defeating.

@TheologeticsOrg @Fragbaza You cannot "argument" deities into existence. You either present verifiable evidence or you are making stuff up. And theism disproves the existence of deities. If any deity was proven real, theism would not exist. I stand with reality!

@gCMG_Obv @Fragbaza Sure, where do you fall on the spectrum of belief: theologetics.org/wp-content/upl… And it’s just that strawman arguments help no one.

@TheologeticsOrg @Fragbaza Now try to present verifiable evidence for the tale.

Calvinism or Arminianism is a Biblical false dichotomy.

@gCMG_Obv @Fragbaza Now try kind, not species.
