Do you believe?
Help my unbelief.
Keep your faith in what matters. Not pple, projects, coins, but the Lord.
Because He can do abundantly more than you can ask. Be anxious for nothing. Dive deep into that with more than a little DYOR
People misrepresenting Christ doesn’t change who Christ is and His message. The crusades are a great example of that failure and manipulation. Jesus spent His whole ministry railing against organized religion.
It’s not about the 200-300 denominations. It’s about a relationship with Jesus.
@Mars32297252@_eva_inga@oliverburdick There are more than enough manuscripts confirming the accuracy of the 4 gospels. If you just look at Jesus’s own words in the gospels He said to the woman annointing His feet “Your faith has saved you, go in peace.”
Faith alone.
Fun fact. There are not 45k denominations. Every church that is non-denominational is included in that figure as though it is its own denomination. There are 200-300 actual denominations.

Faith alone.
Leave it to men to twist God’s intentions. After all Jesus spent much of His preaching railing against the Pharisees and Sadducees. Accusing them of being a brood of vipers, preventing pple from getting to heaven, and also not being fit for the kingdom themselves.
None are righteous no not one. Who then can be saved? With man this is impossible, but with God, all things are possible. “I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture"
@Mars32297252@oliverburdick What does it mean to come “through Her to God?” Jesus said nobody comes to the Father except through me.
I follow Jesus, not Luther.
Who is my mother? She isn’t hated. But nobody prays to John the Baptist and Jesus said there was none greater. So why do pple pray to Mary? She was God’s blessed bond servant. Jesus was God. He also became sin for us so it’s not a wonder that He could be raised by sinners. None are righteous no not one. All have fallen short of the glory of God. One of His own disciples was in his words a “devil.” Mary was blessed among women. Some try to make more of it than they should. Nobody should be praying to Peter or Paul either.
@MikeWingerii It’s worse than that. I taught my kids to say “dada” first. This child is saying “momma” because he was likely weened by his mother and actually misses his mother. Who taught him to say “momma”? Momma did.

You know how easy it is to find something to fight about?
There is a reason it says, -Blessed are the peacemakers.
Did you catch that? Peace "makers." Not peace "keepers." Makers.
If you are a follower of Christ or an athiest or agnostic, or other... you can find a million things that divide us. People fight even about the nuances of their shared faith.
In a culture of commentary it is so easy to find hairs to split and fight over.
Be the peacemaker. Seek to introduce those around you to the "Jesus you know." If you haven't met Him yet, bring your peace when you engage that we might discuss with each other rather than destroy one another and forget why we are here.
🔥🚨BREAKING: A new Bible analysis has uncovered thousands of clues that suggest scripture was written by God. A vast network of more than 63,000 connections woven throughout the Bible is drawing renewed attention from believers, with some arguing the intricate links point to divine authorship.
The connections, identified by a computer scientist at Carnegie Mellon University and a Lutheran pastor in Germany, stretch across all 66 books of scripture, linking people, events and themes scattered throughout the Old and New Testaments.
Thousands of curved lines stretch between books to link related passages, with darker lines highlighting verses that share the greatest number of connections. The arcs form a rainbow-like pattern that visually reveals how extensively the Bible is woven together from beginning to end.
One example ties Genesis 2:9, which describes the Tree of Life in Eden, to Revelation 22:2, where the symbol reappears in the Bible's final vision of paradise.
Another connects Exodus 12, describing the Passover lamb, to John 1:29, where Jesus is referred to as the 'Lamb of God.'
Prophetic passages in Isaiah 7:14 are also linked to Matthew 1:23, which connects the verse to the birth of Jesus centuries later.
The network spans books believed to have been written by more than 40 authors over roughly 1,500 years. It also bridges three continents, Asia, Africa and Europe, and three languages, Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek.

Ok so which would you use over the word easter (originated from a goddess/ demon)?
Resurrection Day
Feast of the Resurrection
Resurrection Celebration
Pascha (pronounced Pash-ka)
Passover
Fulfillment of Passover
@murphy9190@churchtalkative Sry, that's a lie from Satan.
If someone tortures & murders your loved one, should they be free
Yahweh says that's sin & will be judged. He also says hating = murder, so who is pure?
None of us. That’s why God came as Jesus, died for your sins. It’s a free gift. You are loved.
