Psalm 91 is God's contract with idiots. beautiful, terrifying, sunstruck idiots who chose the exposed ground over the roof and God looked down at this leathery, stinking man lying face down in nothing and thought: finally, somebody who isn't hedging

@elonmusk Minivan next?

@RealSpikeCohen Amen 🙌

Having a government-employed secular progressive begrudgingly teach your kids the Bible so they don't lose their jobs is a great way for your kids to learn to hate the Bible, and God, as much as that progressive does. Don't mandate for Caesar to teach your kids about God. Stop sending your kids to Caesar to learn in the first place.

It is troubling how often Scripture is quoted without first asking what God is saying in the passage itself. A verse was not given as a detached sentence for us to bend into whatever meaning we prefer. Every word of Scripture belongs within a paragraph, a chapter, a book, and the whole counsel of God. When we remove a text from its setting, we do not make it more powerful. We make it easier to misuse. “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15). Many errors in the church survive because people quote the Bible without reading the Bible. They take a line that sounds useful, separate it from the author’s argument, ignore the verses before and after it, and then build a doctrine God never taught. The devil quoted Scripture to Jesus, but he twisted it by misuse. Christ answered with Scripture rightly understood and rightly applied, because the Word of God must never be handled carelessly. “Jesus said to him, ‘On the other hand, it is written, You shall not put the Lord your God to the test’” (Matthew 4:7). Faithfulness demands more than finding a verse that sounds like it supports us. We must ask who is speaking, to whom it is spoken, why it is being said, and how it fits with everything else God has revealed. “The sum of Your word is truth, and every one of Your righteous ordinances is everlasting” (Psalm 119:160). A careless reader makes the Bible say what he wants. A faithful reader bows before what God has actually said. Context does not weaken Scripture. Context protects Scripture from our abuse.

@RepThomasMassie @NicholasBallasy 🤣

@factpostnews Christians be like; I want unbelieving representatives of a department, that I think should be shutdown, from an organization I regularly distrust, teaching my children sacred scripture. What could go wrong?

@JimmyParker87 @smashbaals Wow, found someone actually thinking on this. Thank you 🙏

@infolibnews Best part is Tucker apologizing and then immediately telling him why he is correct 🤣

Having grandparents in the lives of grandkids, I think is very important if it's possible...grandparents have so much more wisdom than just parents.

@mattgaetz Imagine

The kids in your house know things you forgot. They forgive by lunch. They ask why a hundred times. They are not too proud to cry or to need help. "Except ye be converted, and become as little children." Watch yours and relearn it.

@LostMyHats @Fair_and_Biased @TuckerCarlson Amen. God's final remnant are those in Christ. Open to all. Its that simple.

Let’s follow Romans 11. I’ll make it simple: “Does God throw away His people?”, he asks in verse 1. NO. Paul emphatically says God has NOT cast away the Hebrew. Great news! But this doesn’t mean what YOU want it to mean. Keep reading. SAME VERSE: “For I myself am an Israelite…” Paul’s example, his proof, that God hasn’t discarded the Hebrew people is that HE happens to be one. WHY does Paul point to himself? Paul is showing for the record that despite being an ethnic Hebrew, he has been redeemed by faith in Jesus. He didn’t point to the Pharisees, the priests, to the crowd to whom he was speaking, but to himself, that any ethnic Israelite who believes in Jesus can still be saved. Obviously, no one should deny this, nor allege that Jews are outside hope of salvation. His next example, verses 2-5, he reminds them that God always has a remnant, like the 7 thousand who didn’t bend their knee to Ba’al, despite most Israelites murdering the prophets. Some, Paul says, “are chosen by grace.” They’re not chosen by ethnicity. They’re not chosen by blood. Not all are chosen. SOME are chosen by GRACE. A grace that Paul says is *through faith* and *in Jesus* Absolutely NOTHING in what Paul says indicates a corporate promise for the Israelites, a national promise, or a collective promise for the Israelites, and no promise is suggested based on bloodline. The promise is that by grace, Israelites can be saved the same as Paul, the same as Gentiles, by grace through faith in Jesus. He says, “So too, at the present time, there is a remnant chosen by grace.” This is gospel talk, not Zionism talk. There’s not a speck of indication this is a special promise uniquely for Jews. This is a promise that Jews aren’t left out of the same promise God makes to anyone else. In verses 7-10, Paul explains God has given many Israelites - but not all - a “judicial hardening,” a punishment for their various sins. In verses 11-12, Paul gives a reason not to feel hopeless. God’s not done yet. In verse 14, Paul says God will save “some.” Again, no corporate promise. God will save some of EVERY tribe, tongue, and nation, including ethnic Hebrews. This is the sense in which he’s not cast them away. Verses 15+, Paul build his “Tree of Abraham/Tree of Faith” analogy. It’s pretty simple: The trunk is Abraham. The roots are God’s Covenant promises and blessings, giving life to the tree. Verse 17, Paul says unbelieving Jews are cut off the tree, on the ground, severed from God, from Abraham, and from the life-giving Covenant promises and blessings. In their place (v19) wild shoots of believing Gentiles are attached to the tree, binding them to Abraham and giving them access to the Covenant and its promises. This is why in Galatians 3, Paul says WE are Abraham’s children and in Romans 9 says unbelieving Jews aren’t. We are also told not to rub it in (be haughty) to those broken off, because that sucks for them (v18). The good news in verse 23 is that ethnic Israelites can be brought back to Abraham “IF THEY DO NOT PERSIST IN UNBELIEF.” But this isn’t a special promise unique to Jews. This is true for everyone; Eskimos, Samurai, Hillbillies, Palestinians, starving pigmies in New Guinea can all be grafted if they believe. There’s no ethnic component here. Verse 28, the “Deliverer of Zion” (Jesus) taking away their sins IS the Covenant. No Jesus, no Covenant. No Jesus, no blessings or promises. The election, blessings, promises that follow in the rest of the chapter are entirely dependent upon them being saved by faith in Jesus. There is **nothing** that suggests a unique, genetics-based promise God has given the Jews by which they remain in Covenant with God outside of faith in Jesus. There’s nothing here resembling a corporate, national promise to Jews, nor hope retained that outside of faith, they are considered God’s chosen people. It says the opposite. The election is dependent upon grace, through faith, to those who believe.
