Pentecostal Treebeard confirmed:

To a naïve reading of Paul’s Romans 13 and Rome “not carrying the sword in vain,” Christoph Heilig says the obvious counter-question is: “So, Paul, I guess Rome is also not carrying ‘the cross’ in vain? Jesus, it seems, can only blame himself for having experienced the ‘justice’ of Rome.”

Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.

In the early chapters of Exodus, there are 7 Women who resist pharaoh’s empire of slavery and death, and who instead conspire with God’s subversive kingdom of life and flourishing: 1) Shiphrah 2) Puah 3) Jochebed 4) Miriam 5) Pharaoah’s daughter 6) Pharaoah’s daughter’s maidservant 7) Zipporah

I would’ve moved out of the way.

Happy 89th to the Main Man 💪✝️

mind is racing. Marilynne Robinson casually throws out the idea that JOB (whom I take to be parabolic) was an Edomite. Never heard that! I looked into it, & he may be associated w/ the Edomite king JOBab (Gen 36:33), which means there’s a forgotten wisdom tradition associated w/ the line of Esau!
