I battle toxic polarization by revealing nuance and common ground, and wrote a YA novel showing how and why. Join the resistance. Also learning bass guitar.

Other ways of caring for the poor are short term, making the problem worse down the road. Economic freedom is the long term solution.

@Michael_Voris @Manhattva Yes we are not Creedal Christians. But we are Christians, as is anyone whose focus is to follow the Jesus of the Bible, as best they know how.

[Jefferson Shupe @JeffersonShupe]

@calvinrobinson We’re not Creedal Christians. But we’re Christians.

[Jefferson Shupe @JeffersonShupe]

@KenIvoryUT @timldecker I’m using the term Creedal Christian for that. If you’re trying to follow the Jesus of the Bible and believe he is the way to Salvation, they are obviously a Christian despite the other inevitable differences.

[Jefferson Shupe @JeffersonShupe]

@ThoughtfulSaint This is why we should be using different terms. Those who try to follow the Jesus from the Bible and believe he is the only way to salvation should be called a Christian. If you’re interested in creeds then let’s use Creedal Christian.

[Jefferson Shupe @JeffersonShupe]

@ImATennisBall @BasedMikeLee Trying to follow the Jesus from the Bible and believing He is the only way to salvation. Thats the core of the Mormon faith and the best definition of Christian that I can come up with. What’s your definition

[Jefferson Shupe @JeffersonShupe]

@conservmillen @BasedMikeLee This feels unnecessarily exclusionary. If you are trying to study and follow the Jesus from the Bible and believe He is the way to salvation, seems like you’re a Christian.
Honestly it would make more sense to have a new term, Triune Christian.

@OjisanKaichou @SeanParnellASW Nobody is forced to. But we think this would be more accurate.

If you watch one thing today, make it this.

I’m so glad for this marvellous girl. But it was a close call, as she explains.

I love how @SpacePerspectiv wants us all to have this moment.

@PamelaParesky Thoughts? Good move?

[Jefferson Shupe @JeffersonShupe]

@NateForUtah To be fair, I don't see a connection to medical freedom or personal liberty. Only what things taxpayer dollars should go to. An important difference.

@LDS_Dems Would love some Democrat allies in strengthening the separation of powers.

[Jefferson Shupe @JeffersonShupe]

@LDS_Dems imo DOGE is the biggest thing that can bring down inflation long term.

@StrangelEdweird @JimmyPage @RobertPlant @ledzeppelin Yes! Planning to go with my 2 daughters (IMAX). Lemme know how it was.

[Jefferson Shupe @JeffersonShupe]

@BridgeUSA_ Also, the loudest voices in politics likely don't precisely reflect your neighbors' views, even if they voted in that direction.
It's worth looking beyond the bumper sticker, and talking with your neighbor to see what they really think.

[Jefferson Shupe @JeffersonShupe]

@NateForUtah Okaaay...that was weird.
You could make the case that you think the *results* of their policies might take us there. But what your right-leaning neighbors want isn't all that different from what you want, Nate.

@eli_wolk @Zaphod_2022a @Deseret I'm all for government as a last resort to prevent severe hunger. But the more we can put private people and charities in charge, the more effective we are and the less money we spend per meal. More volunteers and donations, less taxes and high salaries.
