Several Baptist pastors and elders have made the claim this week that it is not a sin for Christians to eat/drink blood. We search the scriptures to see if this claim is true or false according to the Bible. Special thanks to @CovenantReform2 and @dhanabarger for the inapiration for this video. youtu.be/M9xVOyvusWM?is=R3TA…

Nah. You lied about Jesus. Yikes.

Lawless so-called christians like @dhanabarger and @CovenantReform2 won’t admit this

Abraham did works to be seen as righteous. He wouldn’t have been credited righteousness without them.

If the law is difficult to keep then God lied. It's really that simple.

Do you remember time when wise King. Solomon said that all sin because they are born sinners in Adam? Me, neither. This also shows what actually happens before Israel is given a heart of flesh (see also Deuteronomy 30)

But you do. Lol you call it something else but you do believe it

Maybe we’re all liberal, then? One of the more interesting aspects of this rather fluid definition of liberalism is that “cultural outlook” needn’t be a specific cultural outlook. Which is why when @ZacharyGarris and his sort of patriarchalist speak in this way, it’s important to be reminded that those who believe they’re immune from cultural bias are often the ones most susceptible to exactly that. For example, Garris’s perspective that women working outside the home is “feminism” has nothing to do with scripture or even the vast majority of church history. Instead, it’s largely derived from overly-romanticized Victorian sensibilities brought about by 19th century industrialization. So, according to this definition of liberalism, I can’t help but see that at least some aspects of his patriarchalism must be considered New Liberalism. Of course, all of this is why we should try not to define truth OR error by looking to culture. This is a good reminder if you’re looking at 2026 California or 1850 Georgia. This is a good reminder if your tendency is to adopt the culture of today or the remembered culture of a favored time period (mythologized or not). Similarly, it’s a good reminder if your tendency is to just counter-signal whatever is going on today, as if the measuring stick is simply a contrarian and grumpy attitude toward the society we live in now.

Christian discernment ministries are basically helicopter parents who show up like your mom at a middle-school dance, hovering three feet behind you, scanning the room for anything that might be “off.” They’re not actually protecting anyone. They’re performing protection the same way cable news performs “breaking news.” Everything is urgent, everything is a threat, everything needs their take or you’re one podcast away from apostasy. It’s cancel culture holding a study Bible. And the part that drives me nuts is they don’t actually want you to get better at thinking. They want you dependent on *their* thinking. Because as long as you need them to pre-chew every book, every speaker, every idea that crosses your feed, they stay relevant. Paranoia is the product. If you stop being scared of the wrong kind of worship music, they lose the customer. They’re gatekeepers, sure. Just the kind that make the gate smaller so they can charge admission.

Yes, God rules over all things. No, this doesn’t support determinism.

What gender is James Talafreako?

There are 2 types of believers. 1) seriously seeking truth through God’s word 2) Just want the Bible to justify a belief they already subscribe to
