I'm not the first person to make this point, but it's something that every time I hear it, I get a similar reaction to "eat ze bugs".
When everyone on the internet describes their stuff as "content" or other things as content. Like "Wow Nintendo just announced a bunch of new content coming for [insert thing]"
What a bland revolting consumerist phrase. I wish the term "content" was banned from the English language unless you're describing the content of someone's character.
When you say they have a good content of character, it's a fine word.
But when you describe art, entertainment, or videos as that way you couldn't pick a more soul-less word, and they're choosing it for themselves.
Something doesn't have to be high art in order to not be called content. The weather channel is pretty dry stuff, but they don't open up the show by going "hi here's our weather content for the day". It really is like something a dystopian society would say.
They say "Good morning everyone, glad to have you back. Let's look at how the weather is going to look like today". Or I assume that's along the lines of what they say. I haven't seen a weather channel in many years.
Anyways, mini rant, had to get it off my chest.
Agree wholeheartedly. I hate going into discussion threads on a show or something and having people talk about "the content." Hearing a creator call it that is bad enough, but has the distance of condescension. When a consumer (hate that word, too, but that's what these people are) calls it "content", it makes my skin crawl. It would be like hearing an Evangelical unironically call himself a "goy" and shrug it off because the yids "are chosen."
they really got them good teaching that the covenant didn't transfer.
That's not what dispensationalists believe. They believe the church is also chosen, and that the Abrhamic covenant is still in effect prophetically, but Christians have the blessing of a better new covenant.
One day the Jews because of the Abrahamic covenant will also enjoy the blessings of the new covenant. At the moment as a people, they are cast off in terms of the present times in enjoying the blessing of being God's people, unlike the church, but in a future time they will because of the Abrahamic covenant, be restored to the new covenant when they accept Jesus at the end times.
This idea that "dispensationalists favor Jews over Christians" is a straw man. That's not what we believe. We believe theologically that Israel is not cast off and the covenant of not being forever cast off is not void because that's what the Bible including the New Testament says. Paul addresses this very point in Romans 11 about the standing of Israel in regards to their future state.
With all due respect. Which is to say, none at all.
That's retarded as fuck.
