Wow, what a git.

I guess ancient authors didn't get the memo concerning modern historiological practices.

Always funny to me when multiple authors and a broad sweep of locations and time periods are presented as factors against its reliability.

Baby donkeys are so underrated... 😍

"Go and learn what this means," Jesus said, "'I desire mercy, not sacrifice'" (Matt 9:13).

There's much to learn here. One lesson: if our understanding of God's commands pushes us to be unmerciful—not showing kindness to the weak, not empowering the disempowered—we've misunderstood God's commands.

Gone full circle. Even Google wants the old Google back.

How terribly unsurprising

It does feel as though Ezra 4:6-23 interrupts the historical flow. I think George Athas suggests it's a kind of flash-forward, and actually relates to yet ANOTHER rebuild effort after the revolt by Megabyzus.

oooh where is this recorded? Evelyn is a hero of mine.

And now, we must make this a reality.

How on earth do payments of tariffs actually WORK when they start, stop, and go up and down, in a matter of hours? Like, just logistically?

Turns out I don't have a resurgence of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, I have Covid.

I'm experiencing a resurgence of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, surely a disorder with one of the craziest names.

That's the best argument I've ever heard for a Johannine Community

Jon Anderson and The Bank Geeks' "Perpetual Change (Live)" is the best live Yes album ever created.

Poster for movie called The Odyssey but written in Greek letters that make absolutely no sense

I for one am super excited to see Tes Thdpssssps

So much Christian culture sees the "Great Commission" as being just one of those (proclaiming), with maybe a little bit of another (teaching). If we're to "make disciples" as Jesus made disciples, we should probably not skip bits. (2/2)

I love the summary of Jesus' ministry in Matt 9:35 - teaching (διδάσκων), proclaiming (κηρύσσων), healing (θεραπεύων). Christian ministry is literally didactic, kerygmatic, and therapeutic. (1/2)

oh you can get away from words and hear patterns and passion and commitment to excellent in alllll sorts of music!

The concept & language of "territorial spirits" is all too common and is total garbage; the self-appointment of "apostles" and "prophets" leads to the most hideous imbalances of power; and the pursuit of what podcast author Matthew Taylor labels "Christian Supremacy" is so utterly unChristian. (2/2)

Anyone in or on the periphery of charismatic expressions of church would do well to listen to the podcast "Charismatic Revival Fury" which charts the history of the "New Apostolic Reformation." The under-the-radar influence of C.Peter Wagner is so prevalent and needs to be rooted out. (1/2)

A lot of people like that once you learn it, it seems to "work" with a lot less variability than Greek. But yeah, I found the extent of its difference so hard to grapple with.

My one semester of Hebrew was one of the hardest things I've ever done.

Alas, I wish they'd visit Scotland!

no waaaaay where are they playing?

Honestly, I hated Duff, but whatever gets you into reading! Very glad to assist you in any way I can, it’s an obsession.
