@masterofthetiger@theres.life A reaction only the Spirit could have wrought. We're watching video footage of a miracle.

The Dallas cop who entered her neighbor's apartment and shot him has been charged with murder and sentenced. No one--including cops--should be able to shoot a person and walk away scot-free. I am thankful.

But I'm even more thankful for this: that in the courtroom, the brother of the man she killed forgave her, and implored her to give her life to #Christ

There is a greater Judge than the one in that room. I pray this woman--and you--would seek His favorable verdict.

@wnymathguy Great question. I haven't used Facebook in several years, to tell the truth, and even when I was, I was mostly using it for news (which I curate myself, these days) and just keeping up with friends and family. I certainly agree that Mastodon is really more of a straightforward Twitter replacement. Never used Friendica, how is it? It is an ActivityPub system?

@purism I did! I had already ditched Facebook, so this is a new social network for me. I brought my wife with me, and we don't SMS anymore, encrypted Matrix over Librem Chat!

I love it, very Jewish.

"And there was evening and morning, the start of Nicetober."

Utterly horrifying.

@rmaffeo I'm not convinced those citations rule out a supplementarian view. There are some passages in the Torah for which is it impossible to claim direct Mosaic authorship (e.g., Dt. 34:5-8).

It doesn't ruffle my feathers, though. It certainly doesn't change the fact that Moses is everywhere the "author" of the Pentateuch, if not in fact then in principle, in some places. He is everywhere the source of the material, even if it is perhaps, say, Joshua's pen that wrote it instead of his.

@lunduke So the Librem 5's finally shipping.

It looks beautiful. I just want to know how it makes you feel.

Does it give you jellies? It gives me jellies.

@zudn (but of course, that's usually because I'm looking at the Nestle-Aland/BHS 🤓 )

@zudn that's interesting. I use my bible app at church since it saves me from having to bother with another thing to carry on Sunday morning, but at all other times I'm reading my physical pages.

The first @purism #Librem5 phones are shipping! What a momentous day for Linux, smart phones, and open source software!
