@TheManilaTimes What? So much to lose? ARE YOU REALLY THAT NAIVE? OR JUST PLAIN STUPID? Well go american puppy dog and start war! Maybe a short visit to ukraine will shake your absurd lil brain to reality.
@PTVph Then blames it on China. You want to go to war Theodoro, start it yourself. Do not drag the rest of the Philippines with you. You president is an imbecile. No amount of distraction can deviate the eyes of Filipinos from the real enemy and your faux patriotism.
⚡️ President Putin outlines conditions for peace
- Ukrainian troops must withdraw from the entire territory of the new Russian regions
- Kiev must declare there are no plans to join NATO
- As soon as Ukraine takes these steps Russia will ceasefire and be ready to negotiate
The Philippines and the US are in collusion to make war against China in the SCS🤔 It is my prayer that these government officials come their senses and get out of their madness.

Underwear should be worn UNDER clothes. That’s why it’s called underwear.
Here is the complex web of logic.
Bras are underwear.
Underwear is to be worn under clothes.
Sports bras are (bras)
Thus, sports bras are to be worn under clothes.
The reason this is so controversial is because our current culture in the west values unrestrained liberty over virtue.
Authentic self expression has become our North Star. It is the idol we are taught to worship from the time we can speak. “Just be yourself” has become our anthem. And if yourself wants other men to ogle you at the gym then who is anyone else to tell you that you’re wrong for that?
The problem is our hearts are deceitfully, wicked from birth. We are a selfish, prideful, envious people. And as we “follow our hearts” we run headlong into a life of darkness, sin, and ultimate misery. Though we may experience pleasure in the short term.
Our culture used to understand human nature because our culture used to be predominantly Christian.
But by and large our culture has bought into the humanist lie that we are basically good, and that the highest good is to pursue whatever makes us feel happy in the moment. Otherwise we wouldn’t be “authentic.”
But here’s the thing… Jesus came to make sure your “authentic self” dies.
Jesus didn’t just come to give you eternal life. He came to give you across that you are to bear. He commanded that we crucify the flesh with its desires.
In other words he came that our “authentic (sinful) self” so that we can receive a new life empowered by the Spirit of God.
Once we receive this new life we actually become free to be who God made us to be. True liberty can only be found once we have become slaves to Christ.
He will realign our desires such that we now hate what God hates and we love what he loves.
So why stir the pot with a post like this?
Because of even one person sees me speaking the truth and standing up to the feminist idol of the day, and comes to believe the truth, or becomes emboldened to speak the truth, then we are on our way to Reforming our culture of death that objectifies women and promotes disordered sexual desires.
Watch the excitement on the faces of these Christians as they open a box full of Bibles.
Listen to their loud exuberance fall into a reverent hush as it dawns on them that they are holding God's word in their hands.
Hear what the woman says at the end, "this is what we needed most."
Then imagine punting one of their bibles like a football.
Patriarchy > Complementarianism
Patriarchy is embedded in the fabric of creation.
Complementarianism is a word Christians made up a few years ago because they started to get embarrassed about the patriarchy.
Christian, if you’re embarrassed or ashamed of anything in the word of God, it is your heart that needs changing, not our vocabulary.
God does not apologize for “the patriarchy” and neither should Christians.
In fact, rebuilding a godly Christ honoring patriarchal society ought to be top of the priority list for Christians today.
Christ told us to teach the nations to obey his commands. If we do this successfully, a godly patriarchy will be the result.
Mariolatry is the true mark of real, believing modern Roman Catholicism. Two of the three last definitions of dogma by Rome have been Marian in nature (and both were so far removed from anything remotely "apostolic" as to boggle the mind). Despite all her attempted nuance and redefinition, the Marian devotion of modern Roman Catholics is idolatry on steroids. But there is something else I'd like to point out.
Look at this picture/painting. Mary was not a white skinned European beauty, and Jesus was not a blonde, blue eyed little boy. These kinds of depictions are just as erroneous as the false dogmas that come with them.
I’m not sure why I’m trending again (frankly, I’m sick of it after this week) but as I am about to embark on maternity leave, there are perhaps a few things I would like to say:
After a little over a year of producing my podcast, I would like to clarify who I am, and who I am not— the former of which I thought would have been obvious by now.
I started my career being maimed and attacked as being “anti-black” and “self-hating” for challenging the Black Lives Matter narrative and the lockstep commitment that corporations, politicians, Hollywood and media had in fostering a hysterical illusion that the no one had the right to challenge the movement because “slavery”.
I didn’t do this by telling the other side to shut up. In fact, I hosted the other side (BLM chapter leaders, and protesters) on my various platforms. I flew out to Atlanta and stood on stage with T.I and was disrespected for my unique stance at a hip-hop conference. I was similarly disrespected on the world stage by Dave Chapelle during a stand up he delivered following the death of George Floyd. I took all of this on the chin and was willing to become a punching bag and a laughing stock to many because reputation means little to me in the pursuit of truth.
I’m not here to make friends or be well-liked. Life is not a popularity contest. I’m here to differentiate between truth and fiction so that my kids can grow up in a more honest world.
Black Lives Matter, both as an organization and an ideology has been fundamentally exposed and is now recognized as fraudulent. This process took years plus more than a few good men that were willing to stand up to its lies—but it no longer holds any political significance. Frankly, because it never should have. Because BLM destroyed lives—chief among them BLACK lives and black neighborhoods.
It is stunning to me that people who applauded me as I stood up and had conversations and rightfully critiqued (and continue to critique) the flaws in my own community, do not think that I should or would muster up the same courage to ask simple questions or make basic observations about theirs.
There is no two-tier system in my mind. Your specific race, color, or creed does not make you above reproach. If you watch my podcast regularly you know how very true this is. I love and hate all of you with equal measure.
Some people are wondering why I had the nerve to sit down with Norman Finkelstein today on my podcast— Norman is an accomplished academic, whose parents both survived the Holocaust who has made a name for himself defending Palestine.
Lately, everything I tweet, say or don’t say has been under a microscope so rather then let people who think they are wizards and can magically “read between lines” invent something out of their own paranoid neuroses, let me clearly spell out the reason why for everyone here now:
Because last week I had a pro-Israel Jewish man, Ami Kozak on my podcast. And he was amazing and he was respectful and we had a great dialogue that everyone in the comment section applauded and loved. Because it is important that in the pursuit of truth we hear ALL sides so that we can learn and independently conduct our own research.
It really is that simple. So go listen to my podcast with Ami and go listen to my podcast with Norman and make an effort to make up your own mind.
Here is what I have learned in politics. Never, ever trust anyone who only presents to you one side. Never trust anyone who yells at you for wanting to hear both sides. Never trust people who call you stupid and put you down for admitting that you don’t know everything. These people are authoritarians, not experts or respectable journalists.
As just one example: the experts didn’t want to debate about Covid and vaccination for a reason. That’s because they were liars and frauds.
I want everyone to know that a willingness to listen, research and learn is enough. It will always bring you closer to truth

Our Worship Music is Kinda Gay
Can we please make worship music masculine again?
Effeminacy is a huge problem in the modern evangelical Church, and it comes through loud and clear in our worship music.
Instead of singing songs/psalms about Christ as the Conquering King, we sing songs that describe Jesus as my boyfriend.
Most modern worship music is feminine, gnostic, and individualistic.
It's all about stirring up warm fuzzy feelings about our personal relationship with Jesus.
In fact... if you didn't even shed a tear or have a single goosebump during the worship set on Sunday are you even saved?
Maybe the lights weren't dim enough...
Or maybe the worship leader didn't nail that key change while he/she was repeating that chorus over and over.
This feminization of the church is a major contributing factor to men walking away from the church for decades. It has become clear to many men that the cost of being a good churchmen is emasculation, and it's a price they're not willing to pay.
This is a tragedy not to mention a false binary and it has devasted the church in the West.
Our society is enviably discipled by the worship music we sing at Church on the Lord's Day.
It's time we dispense with the Jesus is My Boyfriend songs and sing like the psalmist.
So here are some key vocabulary words for our songs that will indicate a return to healthy masculine worship music.
- Lord of Hosts
- Conquer
- Enemy
- Hell
- Satan
- Battle
- Wicked
- Foes
- Bulwark
- Triumph
- Devils
(Not a Comprehensive list)
Reaching our neighbors, and our nation with the Gospel will require manly Christian men, singing manly Christian songs.
@austin_p1_ Our will is determined by our nature. Being born of sin nature and being dead in sin, we are unable to choose Christ in salvation. Like Ezekiel 37, God causes us to come alive to him, and to righteousness. This is being born again, and being given a new heart, a new nature.
