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

I can also tell when podiatrists or singers or asphalt-layers have and have not done their jobs correctly, even though I have never learned how to do those activities (and, in the case of the second, find myself genetically unable to do well). 7/x #endrant

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.
