I'm sorry but if your walk with Christ got derailed by one book or one pastor that's a you problem. There is always another book to read.

There are three great Old Testament fall stories:
- Adam and the forbidden fruit
- Moses and the golden calf
- David and Bathsheba
Jesus resists 3 temptations:
- To eat
- To worship a false god
- To parade his royal power from the temple roof

Hey @grok, based on my X posts (alone), what historical figure do I remind you of?
Amazing how many people have opinions on the Odyssey like they are experts in Homer when they haven’t touched him since high school

I've said it before but there is a whole theology in John 3:16:
-For God so loved: Theology Proper
-The world: Humanity
-That he gave: Incarnation
-His only begotten Son: Trinity
-That whoever believes in him: Soteriology
-Should not perish but have eternal life: Eschatology

We think that Paradise and Calvary,
Christ’s cross, and Adam’s tree, stood in one place;
Look, Lord, and find both Adams met in me;
As the first Adam’s sweat surrounds my face,
May the last Adam’s blood my soul embrace.
— John Donne

“If CS Lewis was alive today he’d be a Catholic!”
“No he’d still be Anglican”
CS Lewis: “I am quite fond of Dale Earnhardt Jr.”
Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s wife Amy says she has held a grudge against Jessica Simpson for almost two decades. 👀 familytoday.com/relationship…

“There is no way to validate or argue for the orthodox tradition without by reference to Scripture, since orthodoxy is nothing more or less than the ancient consensual tradition of exegesis.”
- Thomas Oden
“There once was a group of American pastors who decided to travel to London in the 1880’s to hear and learn from some of the great English pastors of the day. On their first Sunday in London they went to hear a famous preacher who pastored a large church of 3,000-4,000 members. The Americans listened to his preaching, and as they left the church they marveled and proclaimed, “What a great preacher! What a great preacher!” The next Sunday the group decided to attend the Metropolitan Tabernacle in central London to hear Charles Spurgeon preach. They listened to him, and as they left the church they marveled again . . . but this time they proclaimed, “What a great Savior! Hallelujah! What a great Savior”
