@geekyguyjay @ComposerArron He ultimately says to destroy the list, so he doesn't really advise *keeping* the list. Weird exercise IMO but these are change poorly arranged quotes from a rambling story. x.com/i/status/20848…

@osucowboytc @ericsprice1 I have that potion a listen. It starts around 1:20:00. It's a bit rambly and mixes two different ideas. One, yes, was a pastor getting him to recognize it was a small set of people and not the whole church. (I've heard that tactic used to brush aside systemic issues and I'm not

@osucowboytc @ericsprice1 listening, I don't think the overall message of acknowledge the hurt and let it go if actually fine. I'm not familiar if Howerton, but I think the language was too similar and the point too drawn out that it could easily be clipped poorly.

@osucowboytc @ericsprice1 sure that's what was happening there.) He then talks about making the ledger and choosing to destroy it (burn it, nail it to a cross) as a way of reminding yourself to let it go. Actually making the list and destroying it is kinda weird charismatic type stuff to me but from

@EdwardVersaii Halfway Post is satire.

@geekyguyjay I read Yesteryear immediately after LLL and had a similar conclusion that it makes perfect sense, likely because of the ordering.

@JosiahHawthorne It's going to get so much worse. mediamatters.org/greg-kelly/new…

@osucowboytc @dudespankydave Howerton repeated it fairly recently.

@RELEVANT Didn't he just least worship at the Christian Nationalist conference Freedom Con?

@osucowboytc "the Samaritan’s story. Or the thief on the cross who needs saving. I never see myself in those positions." nytimes.com/2022/09/23/pod…

@osucowboytc "He said, have you ever considered that you need to be rescued by Jesus? And it was just a really powerful moment to show how I view everything in scripture as, I’m the powerful one that’s doing wrong. I never see myself as the one in desperate need on the side of the road in"

@CGGran Perhaps it is through an evangelical lens but there are other ways of looking at it. I don't view the church's role as convincing society but rather actively continuing the work of the justice of Jesus.

Prophets were sent God's people. If Carter is framing evangelicals as prophets being ignored then he's explicitly casting Americans at large as God's people. His choice not to call out American evangelicals' embrace avarice and violence as the role of a prophet is telling.

After decades of liberalization, our society appears have second thoughts about some aspects of America’s (im)moral revolution. But like the prophets, we should expect our hearers to almost always ignore the warnings we’ve given until it’s too late. Read more:

@MBurtwrites I sense in the "she's doing theology" argument there's a flawed assumption that information flows in one direction as if theology is entirely pure and informs social behavior and politics without that latter also informing the former. J&JW is just exploring that process.

@osucowboytc @jaredstacy by the very same temptations that led to the fall. Encouraging that should run counter to his theology.

@osucowboytc If Josh wants to play this game, an interesting thing I noticed after reading @jaredstacy's Reality in Ruins is how Josh draws people in by offering "forbidden knowledge." Seeking forbidden knowledge was the original son on the creation myth, so Josh is tempting his followers

@JarranSainsbury @kkdumez I dubbed this Elliot's Reputation Era. 🐍
