I don't think you can really understand the dispute between the Pope and the Trump administration unless you understand the bizarre phenomenon of post-Christian Christianity. Link in comments. @ThinkAnglicans @MadsDavies @WalkerMarcus @RoryStewartUK @holland_tom @AngelaTilby

Those who pray are aware of their own limitations; they do not kill or threaten with death. Instead, death enslaves those who have turned their backs on the living God, turning themselves and their own power into a mute, blind and deaf idol (Ps 115:4–8), to which they sacrifice every value, demanding that the whole world bend its knee. Enough of the idolatry of self and money! Enough of the display of power! Enough of war! True strength is shown in serving life. #Peace

The world was made in 6 literal days, those six literal days were Passion Week.

And this is Dan's ultimate apologetic set out clearly. The LDS scriptures have as much weight as the 'orthodox' Christian scriptures.
I’ve got bad news for Greg regarding every single text in the New Testament.

Like good Presbyterians! 😅
Medieval Christianity is a very curious thing because, while it was present in every single aspect of their daily life, their practices were so different to ours it feel shocking And by that I mean, what do you MEAN they only confessed and received communion once a year each???

The holiness of God requires that the revelation of his grace, victorious over all human sin, should not take place without the revelation of His judgment upon sin .... Karl Barth CD II.2 pg 369

Ultra Processed Food, and the system that produces it, has overtaken tobacco in terms of health and economic harms, and is also the leading cause of plastic pollution, loss of biodiversity and deforestation, and the second leading cause of emissions.

Human beings create new technology and then think the universe is like it. Last time was clockwork this time computer simulation.
YES, obviously, we are living in a simulation, but what will you differently now that you know that???

Having very little meaningful connection with anyone, and working to barely make rent each month (let alone buy somewhere) will make anyone miserable. John Gray put it to me like this: at least peasants under European feudalism had the promise of the afterlife.
A millennial is bawling and having a mental breakdown because she doesn’t want to work a 8-to-5 job.

Look forward to reading how Andrew P. Campbell's reading of P. T. Forsyth looks like
Leading theologians like Ruether, Brock, Weaver, and Girard are abandoning divine sanction of the cross, reframing atonement around Christ's life rather than death. Andrew P. Campbell offers fair analysis of this revolutionary shift.

I am reading this book. The Blumhardts influenced Barth and I have always been drawn to CFB. A voice for our times. Every preacher in every pulpit this Sunday and for Sundays to come should be proclaiming radical grace, love for enemy, opposition to violent speech.
