@BaptistBen316 I don’t know much about him at all except the superficial funny clips of him from the news, I would appreciate some context as to what makes him particularly wicked (not trying to be rude or anything, I just associated him with being a funny boomer politician).
@bumbanisher@Lisa_Ring45@raho311@bannedpastor lol that’s insane it would be interesting if you could bring up a passage from scripture that says it’s alright to shame your father and also be openly racist.
@ThePreacherECCL@BaptistBen316 Dishonest clipping, they clipped one of his sermons where he was saying there are baptist churches EVERYWHERE and in the unlikely chance you aren’t near one you should move, to make it imply he was saying to move to an area with an NIFB church.
@KatjaDox I read tobit a long while ago. I do appreciate the apocrypha but haven’t read through all of it yet. When I read tobit I thought it was extremely clear that it was just a story. Bro really rubbed poop in his eyes.
@KatjaDox Just because someone is with Christ doesn’t mean they have the capacity to be like God and receive prayers from everyone simultaneously, nor does that mean you should be trying to talk to them.
Also from what I understand all Maccabees mentions about this is praying FOR the DEAD.
@KatjaDox Okay fine, we can just call it “attempting to communicate with people no longer on the earth and asking them to pray for you or help you”. Not sure how that’s any better.
@Jeffyfatguyseat@JohnKoffs@Lonestarorthox@sanderson1611 It’s just not surprising to me that four out of twelve so far have come out more liberal and rebellious and have a disdain for their father and exaggerate things. I know plenty of my peers who are like that. This is notoriously common for pastor kids.
@KatjaDox Being “heretical” according to people who kiss and pray to images crafted by men as a coping mechanism is just fine by myself and scripture, thank you.
@Jeffyfatguyseat@JohnKoffs@Lonestarorthox@sanderson1611 Again, you don’t know if that statement is accurate. And he said he wanted God to punish them, and referenced that cursing your parents is punishable by death. Don’t be dishonest.
I don’t have kids, I do have a wife but I’ve never slapped her or anything.
@TheGourdKing@Lonestarorthox@sanderson1611 I’m not trying to make mental gymnastics I’m just saying that is isn’t unexpected for children raised in extremely conservative households to rebel and come out more liberal and even disparage their parents. It happens all the time, how much more with someone this “extreme”?
@TheGourdKing@Lonestarorthox@sanderson1611 He has a great influence with a minority of people. The majority want a solid reason to dismiss him. Nobody cares what the minority who already liked him thinks, the majority hate them too. That influence does not protect him at all.
@TheGourdKing@Lonestarorthox@sanderson1611 The influence he has isnt mainstream, it is against mainstream. The influence you are talking about would probably apply to people who the public actually likes, not people who piss off the public. Even the “conservative Christians” would disagree with him. It’s different.
