Book: “This is indicated by the conjunction ‘but,’ which in Greek indicates strong contrast with the preceding.” Marginal note: “So it means ‘but?’” #Greek #NTGreek #showoff #dontdothat

“So whenever you give alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be praised by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward. (Matthew 6:2 NRSV) The hypocrites are the influencers of the 1st century

Here's a fun thought experiment: imagine your favorite paragraph in your (hopefully-at-most-second-)favorite guidebook from your favorite organization said the opposite of what it said. How would you respond?

i am incredibly excited to share our research about how paying people’s rent through mutual aid made an impact on minnesota this year we accidentally collected more data than anyone ever has for an effort like this, and can very seriously say we prevented an eviction bubble that everyone expected

If you think your seminary education didn't teach you x or y: your education has accomplished its mission if it teaches you how to think and learn, not what to think nor all the learning that you'll ever need for a life of ministry. 1/x

When King Sebbi (Sæbbi) of the East Saxons died in 695, so St. Bede the Venerable tells us, “A stone sarcophagus had been made ready for the burial; but when they came to lay his body in it, they found it a hand's breadth too long for the sarcophagus.” Is this the world’s first #youhadonejob meme?

Here’s a simple way to understand that “No” means “No.” Pretend that you’re standing in front of someone trying to unalive you. What would you say at that moment? What would you mean by that? Here endeth the lesson.

The real reason the Didache (Teaching of the Apostles) was not included in the New Testament is that the canonizers knew some people would pronounce it Dye Datchee and hearing that would make them sad even in Heaven. #followme for more epic Bible history skeets

With a real president we wouldn't even know about the reflecting pool issue. It would have been handled as normal maintenance by the NPS who would have gone through normal procurement bidding and awards. And the job would have just happened and nobody would have noticed.

I am about to watch Time Changer (dir. Rich Christiano, Five & Two Pictures, 2002). This is the first movie I have ever seen with a Bible [sic] scholar as the protagonist. I fully expect this to be hidilarious (hideous + hilarious). Results to follow.

They don’t even know their Bible. This is not Exodus 32. This is Daniel 3: “King Nebuchadnezzar made a golden statue whose height was sixty cubits and whose width was six cubits; he set it up on the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon” (Daniel 3:1 NRSVue).

Just so you know, it’s actually worse if the USA’s first pagan President was “joking” with the picture he posted of himself in the garb and performing the actions of Jesus Christ because that means that he thinks blasphemy is fodder for jokes

I wear “liberal” like a badge of honor because to me it means believing in democracy over authoritarianism, facts over propaganda, compassion over cruelty, and opportunity over exclusion. If that’s the label, I’ll take it.👇

Fancy ways to say goodbye to someone you hate: 1. Fare thee not well 2. Being quit of you gladdens my heart 3. Your absence shall make my heart forgetful 4. The slam of the door behind you resounds like the peal of freedom’s bell 5. I shall dance upon learning of your final departure
