But your only reward will be heartache and tears if you've cheated the man in the glass. Honestly, I don't know who you think you're fooling, TLC, but it's not me.

How many crosses on Golgotha? Mathhew: three Mark: three Luke: three John: three Inerrantists: FIVE! How many times did Peter deny Jesus? Matthew: three Mark: three Luke: three John: three Inerrantists: SIX!!! Nothing but nothing undermines confidence in the integrity of scripture more than the preposterous and easily disprovable notion that it contains no errors or contradictions.

Parkland consumed our entire metro staff for the better part of a year. I talked to parents, interviewed witnesses, and have attended all but a few court hearings, sitting a few yards away from the young man who committed this monstrous act. My byline is on one of the 20 articles submitted. The fingerprints of every staffer can be found on every article. If ever there was a team prize, this was it.

Step 2: Employ slippery slope fallacy Step 3: Do the non-sequitur/straw man two-step. If inerrancy is the lynchpin of your faith, you will be joining me in the ranks of unbelievers very soon. A reasonable person can only deny the obvious for so long. Regardless, there are a great, great many Christians who recognize that Biblical inerrancy is incompatible with the truth. The book has a LOT of errors and contradictions. It does not follow that recognizing the existence of actual errors and blatant contradictions will turn you into an atheist. But the cognitive dissonance that comes with dodging, denying, and never admitting an error is an error eventually gets to you. How much easier is it to say that different people telling a story passed down for decades transposed some of the details than to try to make those errors fit into one cohesive narrative that not a single writer managed to tell? Inerrancy is the atheist's best friend, I assure you. It should be noted that "the scripture cannot be broken" in John 10:35 does not refer to the New Testament or the gospels, as (assuming Jesus actually said it) Jesus said it decades before any of the N.T. was written. So we KNOW Jesus wasn't talking about inerrancy in the gospels.

Not one gospel records two entries. Never underestimate the silliness of inerrancy. If you just accept the fact that gospels can contradict each other, all the problems created by those contradictions disappear.

Agreed. And we have none. Have you noticed that? Because it seems to have zipped right past you. You want to talk about what's accepted in a court of law (where i spend 80% of my working days)? OOH. LET'S! Witness testimony is respected. Hearsay (i heard from a friend whose cousin was dating a guy whose grandfather said he witnessed the resurrection) is not respected in a court of law. And that is literally all we have in the gospels You know what else is accepted in a court of law? Expert testimony from the very people you harrumph as "intellectuals." You know, the ones who authenticate whether things like Hitler's diaries and II Timothy are actually written by their purported authors or by Epstein's mother or by a LIAR who's trying to mislead the gullible. Let me ask you something: Mary Magdalene was the first witness of the resurrection, right? Where the f did she go? Her presence is, at best, implied in Acts 1. And then she's gone. Poof. Ever been to Arimathea? If so, you'd be the only one. If you were walking from San Diego to Las Vegas, would you stop in Portland, Oregon? Because that is as ridiculous as what the Gospel of Mark has Jesus do during one of his constitutionals. Aside from Barabbas, name one person Pilate released on Passover in accordance with his annual tradition. If he did this every year, there has to be some record of this policy, some resentment that an insurrectionist was spared because of a holiday. Pilate had no such policy. The gospels lied. Point being, the gospels are not eyewitness accounts. They are not based on eyewitness accounts. They are based on hearsay handed down for at least a generation, likely more. So PLEASE, let's use acceptable in court as a standard. It would literally leave you with no credible evidence for the resurrection at all.

We celebrate, but that celebration is tempered by the knowledge that 17 lost their lives. We did what we do, and we did it well. After the announcement I called the dad of one of the victims. He congratulated us and told us to celebrate, but also to get right back to work. It's not over. #RememberThe17

Let's head back. I'll let you know next time I am in Deerfield.

The Sun Sentinel, based in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., won the public-service medal for its coverage of the February 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland and its follow-up reporting about local officials’ actions before and after the killing of 17 students and staff members at the school. The public-service award is considered the most prestigious in the 14 journalism categories. https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/the-washington-post-wins-3-pulitzer-prizes-sun-sentinel-wins-public-service-medal-for-parkland-shooting-coverage/2019/04/15/1478f18e-5fa3-11e9-9ff2-abc984dc9eec_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.798ab522192d

Any. Second. Now.

Waiting. 22 minutes.

Rookie of the Year though I'm stumped on the two years later hint, it is the only movie directed by Daniel Stern. My kids love this and Angels in the Outfield

I should clarify something. I said this STARTED as bad news. I cannot overstate that. This started as very, very bad news. Any joy in what "great news" happens today is tempered by the bad news that kicked it off. That said, we can raise a glass (hopefully) while remembering how much more wonderful it would be if we didn't have to. If you haven't figured it out by now: 3 p.m. If you have, shhh. Don't spoil it.

so that was a swing and a miss, then. Hm. Good pitcher.

Tomorrow! Tomorrow! I love ya! Tomorrow!

Jesus could look the 12 right in the eye and say Make disciples of all nations and STILL we have to twist ourselves into knots over whether the 12 were ever commissioned to preach the gospel to all the nations. Wow. And people wonder why I throw my hands up trying to reason with them.
