@MattMBarrett @SteveMeisterVDM Frame, in context, is contrasting the transcendence (author) and immanence (actor) of God. Understanding Frame’s perspectivalism, he’s looking at both the Normative and the Situational lenses. Only sighting one wing of the two-winged discussion doesn’t represent him fairly.

Happy Juneteenth! Imagine if our founding fathers consistently obeyed this Scripture: “Whoever steals a man and sells him, and anyone found in possession of him, shall be put to death." Exodus 21:16

@JeffreyPWiesner I love this. Size dynamics must be considered, but can't be used as excuses to do worse than we could with hard work. Conversely, mega-churches cannot hide behind their size to excuse lack of church discipline, lack of depth in preaching, or shallow discipleship.

@PastorMark This is makes sense because "bad company corrupts good character" and having two sets of eyes judge someone's character is simply better than one.

When Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in his spirit and greatly troubled.

False teachers like this posture themselves as “defenders of the oppressed” when in reality they are Satan’s agents of oppression. Many, many people genuinely struggle with their sexuality and teachers like this give out licenses to sin while taking on the Lord’s name in vain.

@JonathanShedler this is so true - almost all counseling I do involves guiding people into grief. People want to change - but all change is loss and all loss requires grief.

I love my LDS neighbors, but they are not Christians. Why? The answers the LDS church gives to three key questions are heretical, idolatrous, and, ultimately, eternally crippling. Link in comments 👇

The belief in the *possibility* of the non-souled person isn't new; during the early colonial era, some European Christians questioned whether Indigenous peoples, Africans, and other non-European groups had souls. Those who want to theologically justify genocide aren't creative.

Calvin prof Kristin Du Mez says in the ab**tion debate, we have an "impoverished theological discourse" on "ensoulment," or when the soul enters the body. In other words, let's figure out how much time we have to k*ll a fetus before we're morally culpable for k*lling a soul.
