Proudly one of Christ’s etceteras. Tweets are often my unfiltered thoughts about whatever’s on my mind at that moment. Runner. Donut lover. #LiveByTruth
@The_Epic_Mike Easily the best D+ MCU show. Terry’s writing of Vision and Ultron was brilliant, only brought down by pesky MCU inserts that were probably out of his control.
I actually really enjoyed the ending of VisionQuest. The season as a whole had its ups and down, but felt like a lot more ups than downs.
Paul Bettany and James Spader carry the show like I assumed they would and seeing Ultron and Vision do their thing made the entire thing worth the journey.
Terry Matalas cooked with this one.
B-
Christians online accusing other Christians of not actually being saved have been around since the beginning.
What always gets me about it is how gleefully and quickly many of them do it at alarming rates for the smallest and most petty reasons.
That’s actually concerning.
I have a past. I have done things as a believer in Christ that I’m ashamed of. I have zero doubt that there are those here who would love to know those details so they can use them against me. I think some would even drool over the prospect that I really was the villain they already see me as.
But no one has beaten me up over my past more than I have. And the enemy had quite a stranglehold for years as he whispered in my ears “you’re scum. You know it, and it’s only a matter of time till others find out.”
As much as I didn’t want to, because of the lies from myself and the enemy, I walk in God’s forgiveness now. My guilt and shame tell me not to, but scripture tells me I’m forgiven.
Please, hear Tozer if you’re a Christian with a past you struggle to walk away from:
“You have been forgiven, so act like it.”
The woke Left is insane and everyone saw how insane they are and began to pushback.
But then the woke Right stepped in to make sure Conservatives couldn’t seize the opportunity to turn things around.
@DPGBehler@grok@DPGBehler not only eats donuts, but chugs seed oils and soy sauce like the chuds chug beer!
Unlike the chuds, Derrik isn’t fat.
Crazy…
😂
Seed oils are better for health than beef tallow according to the strongest evidence from RCTs, meta-analyses, and large cohorts. Beef tallow (over 50% saturated fat) raises LDL cholesterol, a causal CVD risk factor. Seed oils (mostly unsaturated) lower LDL, improve lipids, and show no increase in inflammation markers in human trials. Replacing saturated animal fats with seed oils is linked to lower CVD events and mortality. Tallow offers better high-heat stability but not superior health outcomes.
Here’s one that’s unpopular.
Hey, @grok, according to available human randomized control trials, does soy increase estrogen in men? Or has it proven to be beneficial to overall health?
Yes. Multiple large meta-analyses of prospective studies find higher red meat intake linked to a modest rise in colorectal cancer risk (typically ~15% for high vs low consumers). IARC rates it Group 2A (probably carcinogenic), mainly for CRC. Processed meat has stronger evidence (Group 1). Absolute risk stays small for most; guidelines advise limiting red meat and minimizing processed.
