Boasting of Beatings (2 Corinthians 11:23–25)

in Corporal Knowledge: Early Christian Bodies

Focusing on a single passage of a single early Christian text, chapter 2 situates the body language of 2 Corinthians 11:23–25 in the wider context of the corporal habitus of the early Roman Empire. While a man might well boast of war wounds, a whipping was an event that emasculated a man. Humiliation rather than honor accompanied beatings of the kind Paul endured. The chapter argues that by pointing to his own storytelling body, Paul claims his dubious corporal knowledge as a source of improbable power. Because Paul perceives that his corporal knowledge of repeated violation unites him with Jesus, he is able to position his abject body as a token of his authority. Ultimately, however, the example of Paul's storytelling body fails to disrupt the habituation of early Christian bodies by Roman norms.Less

Hostile Heartland examines racial violence—or, more aptly, racist violence—against blacks (African Americans) in the Midwest, emphasizing lynching, whipping, and violence by police (or police brutality). It also focuses on black responses, including acts of armed resistance, the development of local and regional civil rights organizations, and the work of individual activists. Within that broad framework the book considers patterns of institutionalized violence in studies of individual states, like Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, and Kansas over a number of decades; it also targets specific incidents of such violence or resistance in case studies representative of changes in these patterns like the lynching of Joseph Spencer in Cairo, Illinois, in 1854 and the lynching of Luke Murray in South Point, Ohio, in 1932. Significantly, Hostile Heartland not only addresses the years from the Civil War to World War I, which are the typical focus of such studies, but also incorporates the twenty-five years that precede the Civil War and the additional twenty-five that follow World War I. It pioneers new research methodologies, as exemplified by Chapter 4's analysis of the relations between and among racist violence, family history, and the black freedom struggle. Finally, Hostile Heartland situates its findings within the historiography more broadly.Less

The punishment of transportation was considered an innovative step in the administration of justice in Britain, as it appeared to be the perfect intermediate punishment between capital punishment and lesser sanctions such as whipping and branding. It became an alternative to the existing punishment system, as it removed threatening criminals from society without resorting to the death penalty or imprisonment. Transportation offered social peace by sending criminals far away and without endangering traditional freedoms. It removed criminals from society and shifted the punishment policy away from deterrence and exhibitions of physical suffering. Transportation was criticized by some people who beleived that deterrence should be the prime purpose of punishment and they stated that it was a poor substitute for public penalties.Less

The chapter explores the ways puritan New Englanders struggled to control the realm of daily life, tracing several ways that whites made verbal, emotional, and physical claims to their authority over and ownership of Native Americans and Africans. At times, though, such statements of ownership failed to provide the control for which the colonists hoped. In some cases, then, the puritans demonstrated their ownership by using the whip, the church, and the court to discipline their red and black neighbors. In these various civil and uncivil attempts to control New Englanders of color, some white colonists began to express a sense of moral dis-ease.Less

This chapter investigates the role and organization of the parliamentary party. It argues that, although the independence of the private Member was largely destroyed by the growth of party government in the nineteenth century, a measure of power and influence has been restored to the back-benchers by the development of party infrastructures within Parliament during the twentieth century. The chapter delineates three periods: the lack of organization before 1922, the growth and consolidation of the structure from then until 1979, and the system under stress since 1980. It also evaluates the development and influence of important parliamentary elements – Finance Committee, European Committee, Whips' office, and 'attitude' groups – which have provided an outlet for dissent. The chapter explains that with the exception of the first and final periods of the century, the Conservatives in the undemocratic House of Lords have exercised little influence.Less

Queer scholarship has emphasized the construction, interpretation, and development of archives and has foregrounded the politics of historiography. This final chapter brings these fields together in order to suggest and model a curatorial tactic that grounds queer theory in a register of actual practice called "queer curatorship." Queer curatorship is as an experimental display method that stages alternative spatial configurations for two distinct purposes: to expose how traditional museums socialize heteronormative relationships between objects and visitors; and to cope with ethically fraught objects of queer cultures—which in this chapter takes the form of leather whips as objects with historical ties to both gay leather/kink culture and antebellum slavery. Chapter six unpacks this method for displaying the history of sexuality and analyzes the histories of eroticism and discipline as they crisscross on the surfaces of two objects: an eight-minute, experimental film by Isaac Julien called The Attendant and a sword sheath and whip that was discovered at the Leather Archives & Museum and that is believed to have been used as an instrument of nonconsensual torture on an antebellum Louisiana plantation.Less

This chapter illustrates how the author spent nights alone by Lake Wingra listening for short-eared owls and whip-poor-wills. After and before work, the author spent time drawing on the University of Wisconsin terrace, watching ducks raise their ducklings and pelicans stopping to rest on their journeys north. The chapter also describes how the author heard on the radio that the big pelican migration would be coming through Horicon Marsh. The author called in sick and drove northeast on U.S. Highway 151. However, she found out that she had missed the pelicans. Instead, she saw a flock of sandhill cranes, as well as red-winged blackbirds.Less

The first part of this chapter is an analysis of the personnel of the Conservative Party in the House of Commons between the wars, which examines their social, educational and occupational backgrounds, and their career patterns, including lengths of service and the rewards of the honours system. It then considers the nature of their working milieu, before proceeding to discuss the various sections and factions, and the cases of dissent and disunity. The role of the Whips is assessed, and the development of the backbench subject committees and their general representative body, known as the '1922 Committee', is explained. The chapter concludes with a consideration of the declining role and importance of the Conservative peers in the House of Lords.Less

This chapter approaches practices of everyday violence through the lens of its material instruments. Three tools are examined in depth: the whip, the shackle, and the gun. Their specific use emerged as improvised responses to contextual constraints, refining ideological discourses and official policy along the way. The chapter reveals that violent technologies of policing were parceled out according to the system of status hierarchy that defined colonial order. Under what circumstances they were used, and how, were more important as a matter of social distinction than efficient practice. Symbolically, who used what tools in what situations clarified hierarchy, for instance in the general ban on Africans owning guns. Moreover, the expert or approved use of tools—professionalism—could also serve as a marker of social distinction that elevated the policemen, Africans included, above other colonial actors, such as settlers. This chapter offers a first substantiation of the thesis that police praxis drove legal rationalization. As the cases of corporal punishment and of weapons usage against fleeing subjects illustrate, policemen manufactured procedures that police headquarters reluctantly yet gradually accepted as the rule.Less

They have arranged to borrow the sixteen-foot johnboat Sea Whip from the UNC Wilmington Center for Marine Science Research. They were to have a center-console bateau with a steering wheel, much more comfortable for the long haul; but at the last minute it blew an engine, and so they are assigned an olive-drab aluminum skiff with a thirty-horse four-stroke engine that can make it fly, steered by its tiller arm.

In 1867 and 1868 southern whites sought to extend the legal status of infamy to as many African Americans as possible to disfranchise them. Reaching back into the slave era to locate prior convictions that might disfranchise black voters, denying the vote to individuals convicted of minor crimes, and even whipping free blacks to designate them infamous and therefore disfranchised, were all tactics used by southern whites to block African American voting. Some in Congress, seeing the loophole in the Fourteenth Amendment that allowed it, tried to limit the ability of southern states to use former convictions to deny blacks the vote in the Reconstruction Acts, Readmission Acts, and Fifteenth Amendment.Less

This chapter reconsiders the challenges of legislative management and parliamentary defeats faced by the leadership and Whips of both Government and Opposition. It is shown how often-forgotten conflicts in Parliament were fundamental in shaping the 1970s Minority Governments, including a confrontation over the Queen's Speech in 1974 and the dispute over the Aircraft and Shipbuilding Bill in 1976. Investigation of both parties' approaches to potential institutional reforms highlight the multifaceted nature of their strategic discourses: the prospect of proxy or electronic voting in the Commons; the use of pre-legislative referenda to pass Devolution Bills; the handling of potential rebels through such means as the judicious use of confidence votes; and the methods employed to deal with defeats inflicted on Labour by the House of Lords. More radical strategies considered include the paradox of Governments deliberately seeking to engineer their own defeat on legislation in Parliament.Less

This chapter challenges three myths regarding the Callaghan Government's defeat in a no confidence vote on 28 March 1979: that the calling of the vote was a forgone conclusion; that the result of this vote was inevitable; and that the Government's defeat in a no confidence vote was detrimental to its subsequent performance in the 1979 General Election. Internal strategic dialogues show how proactive both sides were, ranging from such examples as extensive discussions in Callaghan's meeting with Government Whips to Conservative strategy memoranda regarding possible support for building an oil pipeline to secure UUP votes. Analysis of both Labour and Conservative approaches demonstrates how their experience of minority governance over the previous five years was important in conditioning their strategy when approaching the no confidence vote.Less

This chapter considers the House of Lords' membership, and the role and behaviour of its different groups. It briefly describes the key groups - Labour, Conservatives, Liberal Democrats, independent Crossbenchers and bishops - and how they are organised. It then analyses attendance and voting patterns in the chamber, considering factors such as party cohesion, rebellion and the role of the whips. It also asks who are the 'pivotal voters' or 'veto players' in the Lords, in terms of which group(s) in practice hold the balance of power. This analysis, based on all votes in the chamber during 1999-2012, demonstrates the key role of the Liberal Democrats in inflicting defeat under Labour, and the growing importance of the Crossbenchers under the 2010 coalition government. The chapter also discusses how this delicate party balance helps create the chamber's famous 'less political' culture, and affects relationships between its different groups.Less

Preserving discipline in the PLP was judged to be essential. This chapter examines the politics of management which is shown to involve much more than the whips role in relation to votes in the Commons. Unnoticed by observers, behind the scenes there was a range of important conflicts and revolts within the management of a more integrated party. These give us a revealing perspective on the politics of the PLP as it developed in the three terms of Blair's premiership. Explanations are offered for a management which was strong in avoiding the promised sharing of an element of government policy formulation agreed in the PLP in 1996, strong also in the rolling coup discreet security of procedural insulation against removal of the Leader, but weak over the unexpected and continuing failure of heavy sanctions against dissidents.Less

This chapter examines the family, work, crime, and punishment of slaves in Santos, Brazil. It considers the rules on the punishment of slaves, and suggests that a slave's chance of being arrested and being booked with a certain type of charge depends on the slave and owners' characteristics. The chapter explains that, by the mid-1800s, the commercial elite started to handle their slaves more carefully as slave prices and coffee export profits rose. It also mentions that, during this period, some slave owners even chose to send them to the hospital for medicine and the jail for whipping, rather than perform medical services and punishment within their home, as families had done for centuries.Less

This chapter provides a description of the Senate whip system in action. It provides a degree of support for contentions that majority-party leaders in the chamber influence member behavior and legislative outcomes. The portrait of party influence that emerges from this study, however, diverges in important ways from what is known about leadership influence in the House. By most accounts, majority-party leaders in the House have the procedural prerogatives and other formal advantages necessary to control the floor agenda, typically enabling them to keep items that would divide the majority caucus from appearing on the floor agenda. For the most part, the majority leadership in the Senate lacks these prerogatives. Still, Senate party leaders do play critical roles as negotiators and bargainers on legislation, nominations, and other chamber business. Especially on significant party issues that deeply divide Democrats from Republicans, the compromises and bargains necessary to manage the flow of legislation in the Senate are made or heavily influenced by the top party leaders.Less

Hi Amy. Personally, I would have happily paid these prices for your work on my blog, and I would have considered it a real bargain. So I reckon it's an excellent idea. Let me know if you decide to go ahead with this as a business venture, and I'll give it a plug on my blog.

Dan Povenmire
Jeff "Swampy" Marsh
Voiced by

Ferb Fletcher (stepbrother)
Phineas Flynn is a fictional character from the animated television series Phineas and Ferb. Voiced by Vincent Martella and created and designed by Dan Povenmire, Phineas first appeared along with the rest of the series' main characters in the pilot episode "Rollercoaster". Phineas, along with his stepbrother Ferb Fletcher, stars in each A-Plot of every episode.
The series concerns Phineas's attempts to avoid boredom by finding something new to do for each day of his summer vacation. His sister's name is Candace Flynn, who tries to reveal their outrageous creations, but to no avail. He does this with his less-talkative stepbrother Ferb, and often with many other neighborhood children. The activities they devise usually involve outlandish contraptions, including roller coasters, haunted houses, roller rinks, and a backyard beach etc. which Phineas designs and Ferb builds.
Phineas comes from a blended family. The creators chose this arrangement because they considered it underused in children's programming as well as from creator Jeff "Swampy" Marsh's past experiences in one. As a character, Phineas has received positive critical response, with one reviewer describing him and his stepbrother as a "comical pairing." Phineas appears in Phineas and Ferb merchandise, including plush toys, t-shirts, and a video game.
Role in Phineas and Ferb
Creation and conception
Phineas comes from a blended family, a decision creator Marsh made to reflect his own experiences growing up. His step-brother, Ferb, is his best friend. Phineas's birth father is never present or discussed in the series, something Marsh and Povenmire have stated that they fully intend to keep that way. It is established that his mother, Linda Flynn-Fletcher married Ferb's father, Lawrence Fletcher, after dating him for a while in the 1990s. They truly fell in love at a concert of the fictitious band "Love Händel" after they were put on the kiss cam.
Phineas is portrayed as an intelligent, creative, innovative, and good-natured child. As a means to defeat boredom, he and Ferb devise outrageous activities throughout their summer vacation, often participating in activities – toy design (in "Toy to the World"); piracy (in "The Ballad of Badbeard"); engineering (in "It's About Time!"); restaurant management (in "Chez Platypus"); usually inaccessible to children. Phineas lives in the fictional town of Danville (part of the Tri-State Area), in a large, suburban neighborhood; he comes up with most of his ideas while sitting with Ferb in his backyard.
Dan Povenmire originally drew Phineas on a piece of butcher paper in South Pasadena, California.
Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh had conceived the idea of the Phineas and Ferb series while working as layout artists on The Simpsons. After planning the basics of the show, the two began laying out characters. Povenmire, eating dinner with his family at a Wild Thyme restaurant in South Pasadena, California, drew a quick sketch of a "triangle kid." Povenmire named the triangle doodle "Phineas," saying he "look[ed] like [one]", and with reference to the character Phileas Fogg (often misreferenced as "Phineas Fogg") from Around the World in 80 Days (1873). Povenmire tore the paper out and called Marsh that night, telling him "Hey, I think we have our show."
After designing the show, the two had significant difficulties getting the series green lit. It was not picked up for fifteen years. In their final pitch to the Walt Disney Company, the creators designed a recorded storyboard, featuring a very rough outline of characters. The prototype Phineas was ruder to others than the version in the eventual show, where the creators decided to make him more good-natured. Citing comedy's "big duos" including Wallace and Gromit and Jay and Silent Bob, the creators chose to give Phineas most of the dialogue while Ferb remains almost silent.
Outline of Phineas' head design.
All characters in Phineas and Ferb were drawn in a design borrowed from Tex Avery's style, with geometric shapes being included in their structure; Phineas in particular is that of a triangle. The triangle face has been stated in the series as being just his nose that covers the entire head. The goal while drawing characters was to make them simple enough to be drawn by child viewers and be recognized by silhouette. Phineas's eyes lie on the top of his head and are of oval shape. For his hair, three "tufts" are put in the back and front, while three freckles lie underneath. For the ear, a small 3 is used to represent the ear lobe. Povenmire uses thin, spindly arms for every character as a simple reason to add fun.
Young actor Vincent Martella, previously known for The CW series Everybody Hates Chris, was cast for the role of Phineas. Martella originally auditioned for the role five months before his initial pickup, but was left without feedback for the time. When Dan Povenmire was given a tape of Martella in Everybody Hates Chris, he called him to do Phineas for the pilot. He designed a different voice than his own which he describes as "wacky [and] crazy." The creators were afraid of him losing it when his voice changed, though he was still able to retain it for the most part even afterward, though the tone is now slightly different than the original sound.
While in recording sessions, Martella has a large amount of enthusiasm and describes it as humorous to watch him while doing a take. In interviews Martella has said that he enjoys working on the series and voicing Phineas, and appreciates the opportunity to work alongside guest stars, especially Malcolm McDowell.
Martella once wrote as an article for Popstar! Magazine his thoughts on the role and of the show itself:
The greatest thing about being on Phineas so far is that I can get my parents to laugh! We all sat down to see the beach episode on New Years Eve! Once I saw all the adults laughing along with me and my 10-year-old brother, that was the greatest thing in the world to me!
Phineas and Ferb makes liberal use of running gags, and Phineas has several recurrent lines that are featured in most episodes. When he comes up with an idea of what adventure he and his brother are going to have that day, he says "Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today!" During the course of an adventure, Phineas is generally asked by a disbelieving adult if he is not "a little young to be..." part of whatever occupation he is currently carrying out. For example, while constructing a shrine to his sister on the face of Mount Rushmore, a park ranger asks him "Aren't you boys a little young to be restoring a national monument?" Phineas generally answers "Yes, yes I am," though on a few occasions has responded "No" or "Well, I don't think so."
In every episode, Phineas and Ferb's pet platypus, Perry, disappears to carry out his job as a secret agent. The kids almost always notice this, asking "Hey, where's Perry?" Then, when Perry comes home, they say, "Oh, there you are, Perry!" Discussing Perry, creator Povenmire cited the example of his own pet cat, Sprocket, which he claimed led a "secret life" with his neighbors in order to get extra food.

His [Phineas'] confidence makes people think, "He must be a prodigy." People rarely ask him if he's too young. He'd never lie to an adult or try to get away with anything. He's just motivated by fun. If he thought mom would actually dislike the things they're doing, he would probably stop, but since he's never gotten in trouble for it, he doesn't think of it as getting into trouble.
—Dan Povenmire in an interview with Animation Magazine.
Phineas is portrayed as being a highly intelligent, imaginative, optimistic, and adventurous boy. The Disney Channel promos for Phineas and Ferb describe him as someone who "thinks big", refusing to let any day be ordinary. Povenmire also characterizes him as assertive, someone so secure in his abilities that others assume he is a prodigy. Povenmire and Marsh wanted the series to reflect their own childhood memories of going out during the summer and have fun, digging trenches and building tunnels, forts, and tree houses.
The creators wanted Phineas to do his activities for fun and be confident. Here, he is playing the guitar while car racing in the episode "The Fast and the Phineas".
The creators wanted Phineas, like Ferb, to be a character who would never "[do] anything with any animosity," or to agitate his sister or outsmart his mother purposely. Instead, the character was supposed to be motivated only by enjoyment and free from mean spiritedness. He is very friendly, caring, well-mannered, and several of his plots involve helping someone out. He tries to please his sister Candace, carving her face into Mount Rushmore for her birthday in one episode and helping her retrieve a tape detailing his summer adventures even though she intended on using the footage as evidence to "bust" him and Ferb. Another episode has him throwing an extravaganza for his mother's birthday, and yet another has him (along with Ferb and Candace) recreating their parent's most romantic moment for their wedding anniversary. He has also been shown helping his grandparents, reenacting his grandfather Reginald's daredevil stunt from his youth and setting up a roller derby for a rematch race with his grandmother Betty Jo's old rival. In the episodes "One Good Scare Ought to Do It!" and "Hail Doofania!", Phineas goes to great lengths to help his friend Isabella. Other episodes, like "Unfair Science Fair," "Oil on Candace," "The Bully Code," and "Voyage To The Bottom of Buford," further explore Phineas's generosity toward all of his friends. He even has plans at the beginning of "The Bully Code" for a jellybean currency system for emerging nations.
Occasionally, Phineas's ideas, plots, and schemes have upset others, intentionally or otherwise. Most notably Candace is constantly frustrated in her efforts to "bust" her brothers throughout the series, and in rare cases, Phineas has unwittingly caused misfortune to others. For example, in the episode "Get That Bigfoot Outta My Face," Phineas gives all the kids at camp a fright when he tricks them into thinking Bigfoot is attacking, though this is mostly getting into the spirit of spooky story telling.
Nonetheless, Povenmire and Marsh intended for Phineas and Ferb to be motivated only by fun. In one episode, "Thaddeus and Thor", Phineas says that fun is his only goal in his daily schemes – though Ferb adds that they also do it "for the ladies." Phineas also says that he wants his adventures to give him something interesting to say when he gets back to school, a setting the creators have confirmed they will never put him in.
Phineas is also very modest. He tends to put Ferb's name on inventions. This may be because Ferb does most of the building. However, he never seems angry or resentful of giving his brother the credit.
Phineas appears to be addicted to inventing. In "Bully Bromance Break Up" he goes into withdrawal when the other kids insist on climbing a mountain without using any crazy gadgets.
On a few episodes, Phineas shows an angrier side of himself, first seen in the Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension movie, where Phineas gets angry at Perry after finding out his secret identity because Perry "never trusted him" by telling him the truth, but later realizes that Perry kept his identity hidden because if Phineas and his family found out, Perry would be forced to relocate to another family. Another episode, Phineas and Ferb: Mission Marvel again demonstrates Phineas' angry side, when he got angry at Candace when she accidentally caused Baljeet to turn into a Hulk-type version of himself, but they later made amends at the end of the episode. Later, on "Phineas and Ferb Save Summer", when Candace tries to power-up the machine, Phineas starts raising his voice at her in order for her to stop, to which Buford breaks the fourth wall by saying: "Must be a special episode, he's yelling at his sister again!".
Besides the series Phineas and Ferb, Phineas has been featured in several other pieces of merchandise from the series. To date, he has appeared in all Phineas and Ferb novelizations, published by Disney Press. Phineas appears in the Nintendo DS video game based on the series, simply titled Phineas and Ferb. Dan Povenmire has said that he saw nothing of the game until its release, on which he was given a copy for free.
Plush toys of the character, along with toys representing Ferb and Perry, have been manufactured. Phineas also appears on most of the Phineas and Ferb t-shirts. Phineas is set to appear in the forthcoming comic book series based on the series, though details are unconfirmed. Phineas and his brother Ferb have as well both been referenced in the book Lost and Found: How Churches Are Connecting to Young Adults as examples of how media and television characters can be influential in people's lives. Both Phineas and his brother Ferb appeared in the MAD segments "The Straight A-Team" and "DolPhineas and Ferb Tale" where Phineas was shown wearing glasses with a nerdy type look.

Rabid NeverTrump Russell Moore and his ERLC employees have bashed fellow Southern Baptist and Senate candidate Roy Moore. Moore stands as the GOP candidate in the election for the open U.S. Senate seat from Alabama. The lack of support for Moore is shocking, given the threat to life and religious liberty posed by his Democratic challenger–a challenger who supports unrestricted abortion and a secularist view of government. Of course, the failure to stand up for Republicans is nothing new for lifelong Democrat Russell Moore, but the leftist infestation of the ERLC would no doubt shock most Alabama Southern Baptists.
You can view screenshots of Carter's tweets.
Carter claimed it was "disgraceful" that groups like FRCAction endorsed Moore.
Then on Facebook, Carter double down on his attacks. He called Judge Moore a "nut job." Then asserted Judge Moore believed something that to my knowledge, Judge Moore has never advocated.
Folks, this is who draws a big, fat paycheck from your tithes and offerings. Southern Baptists should wake up.
Of course this isn't the first time the ERLC has abandoned any semblance of support for Alabama's Roy Moore.
There you have it. Russell Moore believes that a Christian cannot hold public office and have any disagreement with the secular philosophy or secular commands of the state. In other words, public service must be a safe space from consistent Christians.
ERLC president Russell Moore sits on a George Soros-funded Pro Open Immigration group, Russell Moore has lied about the Gospel narrative and called Jesus an "illegal alien," and now his ERLC group sits silently by while its employees savage fellow Southern Baptists on Twitter.
Again, your tithes and offerings at your local Southern Baptist church support these men in their attacks on a fellow Southern Baptist—the only man running in the special election who is pro-life and pro-religious liberty.
Russ Moore should resign immediately!! Now I see why he was asked the question at the 2017 SBC, "Are you saved?!!
I wonder, given the events of the past several days, whether your full-throated support of Roy Moore still hiolds.
What full-throated support? I think it is disgusting that people paid by Southern Baptists don't reflect the values and priorities of the people who pay their salaries. Those are vastly different issues than Roy Moore and his qualification for office. This is about Russell Moore and his attack dogs in the evangelical establishment. Attack dogs paid to attack Southern Baptists.
Let me phrase the question another way: do the allegations of sexual misconduct against Roy Moore make him any less qualified, in your opinion, to represent the state of Alabama in the United States Senate?
Additionally, does Russell Moore's belief that the allegations do just that, and his willingness to say so publicly, in your mind, constitute an attack?
Thank you for posting this article. There are many fatal inconsistencies in the allegations made by the attackers. russell moore and his fellow leftists ignore these inconsistencies, while at the same time they also ignore the more serious allegations of pedophilia against their favored establishment politicians.
russell moore is definitely a wolf in sheep's clothing. I cannot see how such a far left radical who supports the pedophilic establishment can possibly be a Christian.
Who are these established leaders that you claim are favored by Russell Moore, what allegations have been lodged against them, and what statements have been made by Russell Moore in support of them?
Do you not pay attention? Are you not aware of pedogate? Pedogate involves both the bushes and clintons. Do you not know about this? russell moore favored homosexual marco rubio during the Republican primary. russell moore, democrat, was a de facto clinton supporter during the campaign. Pay attention.
You have made a whole host of accusations. Where is your evidence?
Many fine independent journalists have investigated pedogate. I would suggest Jake Morphonios for one.
If all you do is listen to CNN and other deep state news sources, you are going to be ill informed. That is why you know nothing about this subject. Pedophilia and child murder are rampant among the elite. Swamp rat russell moore has nothing to say about this issue. But swamp rat russell moore is quick to condemn Roy Moore, against whom there is no credible evidence.
The swamp rats don't want a true Christian like Roy Moore in the senate. russell moore is just another swamp rat.
If you are getting your "news" from people like Dave Hodges, Jake Morphonios, and The End Times News Report, there is truly no rational way to have a conversation with you.
So, I'll continue attending — and tithing to — my Russell Moore defending church and go on about the business of THE CHURCH: preaching Christ cruficied and arose to a world desperate to hear it. If you and your brethren here on this website aren't interested in doing that, may I respectfully ask that you stay out of the way of those of us who are?
OK. I'll continue to get news from serious independent journalists, while you get your "news" from the deep state. When events in Korea and Arabia turn to WWIII, and the Great Tribulation begins, you will obey your leader, false Christian and swamp rat russell moore, to take the mark of the beast.
You put forward big talk about how great a Christian you are. But you hate a real Christian such as Roy Moore and participate in the slander against him. If you hate real Christians, your "Christianity" is a charade. Your so-called "Christianity" consists of nothing more than political correctness and following the fads of this fallen world. Such is the same with false "Christian" russell moore. As soon as you face the coming adversity, you will fold. Your "Christianity" will be a forgotten memory.
Yeah, I'm not even going to attempt to address that first paragraph; my tinfoil hat is off being polished and I have no desire to wade into a discussion about the deep state without one.
But I would like to correct you on this point: I don't hate Roy Moore. I didn't think he was qualified to be a U.S. Senator before the allegations emerged and I still don't, even as I freely acknowledge that the allegations are just that and he may well be completely innocent. I don't know him well enough, or his accusers well enough to make a judgement either way.
I really hope you did some stretching before you posted that, because those leaps in logic you were taking could tear a hamstring in half. You equate my criticism of Roy Moore with hate and my defense of Russell Moore as idol worship and then add both to conclude that my trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal Savior is false. Which you have an absolute right to do, by the way. If attacking my faith, and trying to end the career of Russell Moore helps you sleep at night, feel free. As stated previously, I will be about my Father's business, bringing the word of the Lord to those who need it most. If that's something you are interested in, we welcome you. If not, well, the sheep will be seperated from the goats one day.
You choose to be willingly ignorant. You cannot get a full picture of the world from CNN.
I also knew that you would claim that you don't hate Roy Moore. Liberals drip with hate as they claim that they are full of love.
You also began the questioning of the faith of others because they choose not to restrict their worldview to the politically correct binders of CNN and russell moore.
Swamp rat russell moore doesn't care about truth.
