@DanielRHyde Regeneration is immutable. Dr. Bill Dennison taught the Enlightenment ideals of the equality and fraternity of all men denies the more fundamental antithesis between the regenerate and the unregenerate. Mutability is ambiguous between man's inability and God's sovereignty.

Latest from #URCNA Synod
We’ve passed this simple statement in solidarity with the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church, Presbyterian Church in America, Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America, & Orthodox Presbyterian Church
Our Christian Reformed/Gereformeerde forefathers already did this generations ago
Study committee also formed to provide pastoral advice, which will report to Synod 2028

@PostMillone @DanielRHyde Are they of moral value? How and why? Why is gender but not race or ethnicity? Of course, because God says so. But more biblical and exegetical precision is needed here. The definitions are at issue.

@PostMillone @DanielRHyde Serious question. Does this statement justify women in office?
English

@PostMillone @DanielRHyde Obviously "race or ethnic identity" qualifies the statement as not directly speaking of sex or gender. However, "immutable human characteristics" presumably include sex or gender. My question regards the deeper method of reasoning about these immutable human characteristics.

@Rainmaker1973 @grok does microchimmerism increase autoimmune problems when they already exist?
English

During pregnancy, a small number of the baby's cells naturally pass through the placenta and enter the mother's blood circulation. This phenomenon, called fetal microchimerism, allows tiny groups of these fetal cells to settle in the mother's body and persist there for decades following childbirth.
What makes this particularly fascinating is that many of these fetal cells function similarly to stem cells. They can travel throughout the body, integrate into various tissues, and, in certain instances, respond to sites of injury.
Studies conducted over the last twenty years have detected fetal cells in areas undergoing repair, such as healing heart muscle, regenerating skin, recovering liver tissue, and other organs involved in regeneration. Some of these cells seem able to differentiate into the specific cell types required for repair—for example, becoming cardiac muscle cells, liver cells, or immune cells. Others may play a supportive role by secreting substances that promote tissue healing and dampen inflammation.
While their effects are not entirely predictable, fetal cells are repeatedly found in tissues actively engaged in repair.

A law/gospel dualism is a false & distorting reading of the Word of God.
“The very content of the Gospel is that Christ has fulfilled the law. The joy of the gospel is that man can in Christ know and obey the law and therefore live in the presence of God forever. There is no Gospel but that of the law. On the other hand, the Gospel is law because all must obey it.”

@schuyler ...in the original document, then try setting the gibberish text to use that font in the document that results after conversion. If that doesn't work, you might have to find a different conversion service. Or, you could try just copying the Hebrew text out of the original
English

@schuyler Part of the issue might be that the Hebrew could be either in Unicode or in a different encoding. Old Hebrew fonts weren't Unicode; newer ones are. The conversion software might not be aware of that issue. A quick solution might be to try to find out what Hebrew font was used

@scotthorlbeck James' comment is interesting that man has tamed every kind of animal--makes me remember that ancient kings had zoos.
