Born Again Again

Twitter feed from the Council of Jerusalem

Bags are packed! Camel is ready! Can’t wait to see you all at #COJ1. Woohooo! @Peter @Paul @Simeon

For followers who aren’t into #COJ1. Sorry! Just unfollow or mute for a few days. #COJnerd

Guys, I’m in Jerusalem! If you want to have a tweetup, meet me at the well at noon! #COJ1

OMG! Guess who just got a selfie with @Paul? #COJ1rocks

#COJ1 opens with prayer.

Committee on Representation: 100% men and 0% women. #WTH?! This better not be the case at #COJ2. #waronwomen #COJ1

At least the men aren’t talking about contraception. #waronwomen #COJ1

Commissioner @Paul stands to plead his case for the foreskin. #foreskinforthewin #COJ1

Opposing commissioner asks, what would Moses do? #circumsizefortheprize #WWMD #COJ1

Just got the *rudest* look from this old guy. He said I should put away my phone. :-/ #twittershaming #welcometothefirstcentury #COJ1

Guy said stay away from Internet. It's shenanigans. #whatever #COJ1

Told him to #chillax. It's not like we're changing the course of history here. #twittershameatCOJ1

Comm @Paul: Gentiles converted. Should NOT have to be circumcised to follow law of Moses. #nomoMo #foreskinsforthewin #COJ1

The Pharisee task force says Gentiles must go under the knife. Who’s going to enforce? #ewww #COJ1

Debate is intense. #COJ1

Like, 97% of the YA Commissioners say if this motion passes, then we'll be totally irrelevant. #COJ1

Commissioner is playing solitaire on iPad while Paul and Barnabus testify. #gheez #COJ1

Commissioner reports he got robocalls from Pharisee task force. Didn’t appreciate harassment. #COJ1

Another guy reports his mailbox was full of papyrus tracts. He suspects @Paul #COJ1

#COJ1 needs to stop arguing about petty things and focus on real work. #missional 

Commissioner @Peter says HEARTS need to be circumcised. #dropsthemic #foreskinforthewin #FSFTW #COJ1

I’ve got your circumcised heart… right here…. #COJpickuplines #COJ1

Commissioner @Peter says a lot of these guys are still sportin’ their foreskins. So are their dads. #imagestuckinmind #ewww #COJ1

The skin abides. #COJbowski #COJ1

Evidently God can work thru Gentiles. ‘Cause... you know... Jesus.  #justsaying #COJ1

Why are all these guys wearing bowties? #COJBR #dorks #COJ1

If this circumcision thing passes, we might as well pack it up. Jesus is great… but… that surgery’s gotta suck. #COJ1

Anyone want to get drinks after this? #COJafterdark #COJ1

Still debating. #COJ1

Everybody just got super quiet. Kinda eerie. #COJ1

Commissioner Simeon: God is with Gentiles too. Just tell them to stay away from the idols. #COJ1

Tech difficulties. Break out the papyrus ballots! #techpocalypse #COJ1

Decision made. Motion loses!! Gentiles do NOT have to be circumcised!!! #love1 #GOJ1 

I’m feelin’ it, #GOJ1! I love you guys!! #love1

#GOJ1 stands. Sings "Here I raise my Ebenezer."

Hey, if anybody blogs about this, give me a heads up. K? #COJ1 #FSFTW

#FSFTW! #FSFTW!
