Inverted Orthodoxy 453- AER, Rage baiting the Pastors, and more!

AER: I am happy with the professionalization of clergy, and I appreciate all the wonderful things that I learned on Sunday morning. I find that it equipped me to live a life, which is pleasing to God, but I don’t really feel that I am equipped to be a priest to those friends and family around me that do not know or serve God.. am I missing something?

AER I BELIEVE A PASTOR (OR AT LEAST THE LEAD PASTOR) IS A GENERALIST, THAT OVERSEES THE PREPERATION OF THE LAY PEOPLE. THIS IS MICH LIKE A CEO , OR A JUDGE (VS LAWYER) OR A Gp (vs a specialist). When I was doing my mba, we complained that we only had 6 weeks in each specialty (ie. accounting, HR, etc), but it was explained that the goal was not to teach us to practice these disciplines but to

manage the people with these expertise.

July 17- What is James 1 saying about Jesus’ temptation in the desert when he says, “ 13 When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; 14 but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed.”? Thank you.

July 22- What do you think happened to the ark of the covenant? Many scholars think that it was Taken when Egypt attacked Jerusalem but the author of kings never overtly says this. Why do you think the author omits this as it was Their most important religious item as the place where god dwelled
