Mark's use of the Exodus narrative at Jesus' death is striking: 🌑 Mark 15:33 "When it was noon, darkness came over the whole land [σκότος ἐγένετο ἐφ’ ὅλην τὴν γῆν] until three in the afternoon." Exod 10:22: “So Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven, and there was thick darkness [ἐγένετο σκότος] throughout the land [ἐπὶ πᾶσαν γῆν] of Egypt for three days.” Mark equates wicked Jerusalem with ungodly Egypt. The three hours of darkness in Jerusalem corresponds to the three days of darkness in Egypt. The plague of darkness also anticipates the final plague of Egypt—the death of the firstborn.

So well put!
The term "theological liberalism" is thrown around a lot. When push comes to shove though, it still boils down to Richard Niebuhr's summation of what theological liberalism truly is: "A God without wrath brought men without sin into a kingdom without judgment through the ministrations of a Christ without a cross" (Kingdom of God in America, 193). Liberal/progressive Christianity is more than that but it is no less than that, and it will always come down to it. Niebuhr's words 89 years ago are just as applicable in 1937 as they are today.

“Biblical interpretation is the work of those who have not yet reached their homeland, not of those who have arrived. As a work of theological pilgrims, therefore, biblical interpretation is a dependent and humble work, pursued not with self-confidence but with confidence in the God who so graciously reveals himself to us in Jesus Christ and who has appointed various means, both personal and corporate, for assisting readers of his Holy Word until we reach the place where reading is replaced by face-to-face communication and communion with the triune God.” — @scottrswain

I really like this guy. He is a voice of calm rationality against the deafening cacophony of idiocracy that dominates so much of social media and political punditry.
Charlie Kirk's concerns about black pilots were rational, not racist. They're the logical consequence of DEI hiring policies.

This expresses well why I have become disenchanted with theological academia. The pursuit and infatuation with that which is novel describes most of the academy. You must make a new contribution or apply some new method to the text. Put simply, novelty is the seed bed of error.
One night, the theologian Thomas C. Oden dreamed that he was walking through a cemetery in New Haven. There he came upon a tombstone, his own. The epitaph read: “He made no new contribution to theology.” This made Oden very happy, as it should make us if those words were on our tombstones. For we are not called to make new contributions to theology, but to faithfully hand down the truth once for all delivered to the saints (Jude 3). Let us repeat, let us continue to teach what Jesus taught from the Father, what the apostles learned from our Lord, and what has been proclaimed throughout the history of the Church. There is a temptation we all face, to say something novel, something no one has ever taught before. But we must resist this. Our calling is not innovation, but faithfulness. Today in Bible in One Year, we read 1 Timothy 6, where Paul warns Timothy: “If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness, he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing.” (1 Tim. 6:3–4) God, protect us from teaching or holding to a “different doctrine.” Rather, let us humbly take up the words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching of the apostles, the teaching that accords with godliness, and pass on these life-giving and saving words, that many may hear and believe.

Let me pass on to you that which is of primary importance: that Jesus Christ, God come in the flesh, died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried in tomb, and that He was raised on the third day, putting death to death, according to the Scriptures. And that this genuine and historical event — the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus — is both intellectually credible and existentially satisfying. I was just on the @SWANCapital podcast with @AndrewMcNairRYP, he asked me "if you could write one post on X that would be read by everyone in the world, what would it say?" my answer (posted above), combined a paraphrase of 1 Cor. 15:3-4 and the words that supposedly pushed @timkellernyc over the edge of belief.

Set Christ apart as Lord in your hearts and always be ready to give an answer to anyone who asks about the hope you possess. Yet do it with courtesy and respect, keeping a good conscience, so that those who slander your good conduct in Christ may be put to shame when they accuse you. For it is better to suffer for doing good, if God wills it, than for doing evil. 1 Peter 3:15-17 (NET)

Well said...
Charlie Kirk did not say black women do not have the brain processing power to be taken seriously. He referred to specific black women, not black women in general. Karen Attiah misquoted him. I’m posting this again. It has proof. We can’t allow this falsehood to persist.

ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἡμῖν ἡ πάλη πρὸς αἷμα καὶ σάρκα ἀλλὰ πρὸς τὰς ἀρχάς, πρὸς τὰς ἐξουσίας, πρὸς τοὺς κοσμοκράτορας τοῦ σκότους τούτου, πρὸς τὰ πνευματικὰ τῆς πονηρίας ἐν τοῖς ἐπουρανίοις. Ephesians 6:12

He was right
Assassination culture is spreading on the left. Forty-eight percent of liberals say it would be at least somewhat justified to murder Elon Musk. Fifty-five percent said the same about Donald Trump. In California, activists are naming ballot measures after Luigi Mangione. The left is being whipped into a violent frenzy. Any setback, whether losing an election or losing a court case, justifies a maximally violent response. This is the natural outgrowth of left-wing protest culture tolerating violence and mayhem for years on end. The cowardice of local prosecutors and school officials have turned the left into a ticking time bomb. foxnews.com/us/new-bombshell…

I've settled on a topic for my PhD: "Chronological Dissonance in Matrimonial Contexts: An Inquiry into the Feminine Temporal Paradox and Its Propensity for Persistent Tardiness" I might be eligible for an honorary due to extensive personal experience 🤔

Well put. In my experience with DEI initiatives, this is exactly the problem. DEI is merely a euphemism for racism.

Pastors, beware of overstressing wounded language, or warfare language. The church *is* not a hospital. It *has* a hospital. “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28 “Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. . . . You will be hated by all for my name’s sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.” Matthew 10:16–22
