| Isn’t the deconstruction movement just the parable of the prodigal son? The door is open and people can leave Christianity when it no longer suits them but they’ll always be welcomed back and God never stops loving them. |
You’d have to sign up for my class, Jason. |
Gods mercy is wide and inexhaustible for sure, with repentance, but there does come a time when God turns people over to what they want. Which, sadly, isn’t Him. |
| So would I. |

Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever. |
| Oh heavens, her daughter date night post, major eye roll. And why does she use words like “rezzie”? Is her mind stuck in high school and she wants to be cool? I can’t imagine being around her for any length of time. What happened to all her Vespa besties???? |
I’ve wondered this too. |
Haha. Actually not Jason. I'm the person who complained about the limiting and tiresome nature of deconstructors, and said I'm familiar with the seminary Jason graduated from. I'm genuinely interested in hearing more about the institutional corruption of ANC. But I also understand why you wouldn't share class material on a public forum. |
| I’ve taken a sabbatical from the JH Madness… So I apologize if this has been discussed… But Jen (miss “body positivity/ “let’s start the conversation” WW) is definitely on a semaglutide injection right?! I audibly gasped at how much weight she has lost In her recent pictures. She is either menopausal or very close… And there is no way she has lost that weight from diet and exercise alone… |
Do not let her filtered posts fool you. I live here in her tiny little precious town and have seen her fairly recently and she has actually gained a few pounds. And this latest post introducing Molly to the world is so filtered that she looks deformed. Someone delete that app off of her phone. Save us. I guess Sydney is now back permanently from her 4 month vacation and probably joined the other roommates in her home that she continues to complain about yet lets her adult children live in. Can you say enabler? I’ve lived in Buda over 20 years and have seen her maybe a dozen times and most everyone I know here has no idea who Jen Hatmaker is. |
The two of you just said a mouthful that I agree with so hard! I find it ironic that Jen and her ilk are actually some of the least tolerant least diverse people around. |
In the parable we see a father who loves both sons. The prodigal is the one who (repents and) comes back to the father. Yet the son who remained is the most jealous, most contentious, most “lost” son who can’t recognize his own place and the security he’s always had. He doesn’t really trust that the father’s love is limitless nor does he believe the brother should be shown mercy. He has a scarcity mindset. There is no “but” in this parable. |

“We’re going to be celebrating things that matter, creating community, giving you things, having nurturing convos, and so much more”
Ma’am, you’re raffling off junk to get likes and clicks. This is not “creating community”. I hate this so much. |
Well, yes, there isn't a "but" in the parable,but there's a lot more stuff in the Bible besides this parable. |
I feel like her “photoshopping” or filtering or whatever you call it is becoming more and more obvious especially because there are unfiltered pics out there too and then there are these ones that look so altered. |
