It’s telling that the MacArthur bible has notes on John 3:10-3:16 & 3:18, but not John 3:17. #johnmacarthur

“I believe the Prince of Darkness could start a branch [of] hell in the District of Columbia (if he has not already done it) and carry it on unimpeached by the Congress on the United States.” Twain in Chernow

“That the compassionate Jane Clemons could be trained to regard slavery as a humane system instead of a monstrosity would serve as an object lesson for Mark Twain in the terrifying power of environment to shape and distort human behavior.” -Chernow

“According to him (Wycliffe) legitimate dominion comes from God. But such dominion is characterized by the example of Christ who came to serve, not to be served. Any lordship used for the proft of the ruler rather than for that of the governed is not true dominion, but usurpation.“- Justo Gonzalez

“How think you that you obey Christ's commandments, when you spend your time collecting interest, piling up loans, buying slaves like livestock, and merging business with business?
Upon all this you heap injustice, taking possession of lands and bouses, & multiplying poverty & hunger”JOHN CHRYSOSTOM

Opinion | How My Dad Reconciled His God and His Gay Son (Gift Article) How did my dad go from hating homosexuality to imploding his church by embracing me? His journal entries show how he changed his mind.

Best, hardest thing I've read in a long time.

"Jesus, I want to do some real thinking about what it looks like for me to cling to you, to know you, to love you and to build my theology on you and not on the Scriptures."

“The National Student Clearinghouse Research Center has identified a methodological error affecting its calculation of freshman enrollment in the preliminary enrollment report released in October 2024. That report, called the Stay Informed Report, is based on data provided by 50 percent of higher education institutions. The error in research methodology caused the mislabeling of certain students as dual-enrolled rather than as freshmen and, as a result, the number of freshmen was undercounted, and the number of dual-enrolled was overcounted. The error also affected the Special Analysis of 18-year-old Freshmen report released in November.” “Our subsequent research finds freshman enrollment increased this fall. The Research Center will release its Current Term Enrollment Estimates report on January 23 – this report is not based on preliminary data, encompasses nearly all institutions of higher education, and uses different methodologies to determine freshman enrollees.”

Whoops...there was an important coding error in the National Student Clearinghouse's initial look at fall 2024 enrollment.

“…breathtakingly arrrogant , autocratic, heedless of the needs of those who served in his armies. His golden reputation is based on nothing more than the inconvenient fact that people at the time seemed to like that sort of thing. There is, famously, no accounting for taste.“ - a long dead king or..

Wait, you just posted about distant galaxies!? well get ready buddy ‘cause you’re getting nothing but Hubble pics from now on

must be doing something wrong here - Bluesky onboarding has been far from smooth. Algorithm and suggested follows are hilarious. Sure I like science and followed some left-leaning stuff = you must love nothing but obscure facts about distant galaxies and people with “liberal AF” in their bio
