Congenial? ! LOL You demand I be congenial to you or shut up? Yet you are FAR from congenial to Charlie Kirk or me dor that matter.
"Believe my lies and agree with them or shut up" is what you're demanding to be "congenial" with you. That my friend will not happen.
I am not "congenial" with wolves in sheep's clothing. This old sheep dog will be having none of that.
By their fruits ye shall know them. The fruits being found consistently on your tree are not fruits of the Holy Spirit. That much you have made perfectly clear.
In your attempts to gaslight me, you repeatedly give me clips then tell me they are of CK saying and doing things that absolutely are not in the clips. Each one increasingly outlandish no less.
You repeatedly lie about another brother in Christ (malicious slander), twist what he did and did not say or do, desperately trying to defame him. A passed-on brother in Christ no less.
Motive? Indeed, not of the Holy Spirit.
You keep quoting scripture in attempts to justify the lies you are telling. As if THAT will make your sinful lies suddenly true and your malicious slander suddenly not sinful. Rather something you are quite proud of no less.
Indeed, you claiming to be a born again (thus Holy Spirit filled) believer that is "saving the world" from the "evil CK".
I mean after all he didn't even hate Mormons, which apparently to you means he is not saved. Right? Indeed scriptures certainly tell us to hate others and attack them right? That evil CK used grace with others and planted seeds and watered for God to later grow. SHAME on him! What an evil sinner! How dare he treat others the way Jesus commanded us to treat others!
Meanwhile you completely ignoring scriptures that tell us repeatedly what God hates. Lying tongues, such as yours, a false witness who pours out lies, such as yourself, a heart that devises wicked schemes, such as yours. Feet that are quick to rush into evil, such as yours.
There are six things the Lord hates,
seven that are detestable to him:
haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,
a false witness who pours out lies
and a person who stirs up conflict in the community. Proverbs 6:16-19
The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in people who are trustworthy.” – Proverbs 12:22
“Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body.” – Ephesians 4:25
“Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from telling lies.” – Psalm 34:13
“Whoever slanders their neighbor in secret, I will put to silence; whoever has haughty eyes and a proud heart, I will not tolerate.” – Psalm 101:5
I asked you "Tell me what your understanding of faith and salvation is? Perhaps I am not understanding where you are coming from in that regard."
You responded "Just because a person claims to be Christian does not make them a true born again believer and disciple of Jesus Christ".
Indeed. I hear you loud and clear now. Thanks for finally being honest.
Tell me what your understanding of faith and salvation is? Perhaps I am not understanding where you are coming from in that regard.
I watched the clip attached to this post and am struggling to understand how Charlie giving a HISTORY lesson from the founding of the US is coercing people into worldly enrichment. Particularly since he was not born yet when the country was founded.
I listened to this clip. He quoted Ekklesia twice then simply added context to the time Jesus was speaking and to the people of that time that Jesus was speaking to. He explained how they would have understood the word. He did not "change the bible".
Much like The many other parables Jesus used to speak to the people at the time. Until we study the time period, history, culture, customs etc we do not understand the context of what Jesus is saying.
The gates of hell will not prevail against JESUS's KINGdom.
Jesus WILL come. He WILL rapture His bride, He WILL bring His bride back with Him at the end of the tribulation to defeat satan and the antichrist. He WILL set up HIS KINGDOM here on earth. HIS government. HIS rule. He will rule with a rod of iron. WE will rule WITH Him.
Yes a PHYSICAL government right here on earth. Read revelation. We are to emulate Christ and His kingdom as best as our puny human selves can until He comes. Our Father which art in Heaven Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done ON EARTH as it is in Heaven.
I also noticed you are accusing Charlie of doing what you yourself are doing. "Charlie Kirk states that it is good for Mormons to indoctrinate people into a false gospel that leads to hell."
That is a lie. He never said any such thing.
You appear to have twisted what he did say, left out the last part of what he did say before he was killed and added your venom toward Mormons to boot.
His ACTUAL quote was:
“I love how Mormons send missionaries around the world, I love how polite they are. … Half my team is Mormon,” the 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder told the cheering crowd.
He then added, “Mormons are great people. Let me just say, I’m an evangelical Christian, but I’m not one of those guys that hates on Mormons.”
Charlie not hating anyone and working diligently to teach truth without venom is EXACTLY what Jesus expects us to do!
There is more than one meaning of Ekklesia in the Greek. Both religious and secular. As I have shown you. If you have read my original post?
Charlie did not change the word Ekklesia to Eleutheria.
He understood the word Ekklesia in this verse as the secular Greek meaning.
There are many layers to every verse in scripture. This is why we can study the bible over and over and never stop learning! It is part of the magnificence of our God!
If we are millennial minded while reading, we would also see it as "political" as well as a "Christian" gathering. Jesus will reign as King 1000 years on earth. Indeed RULE as King with HIS politics and His laws AND the gates of hell WILL NOT prevail against it!
Ekklesia literally means “an assembly” or “a group called together for a purpose” https://t.co/FKoyanuKdo. In the Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), it often referred to the people of God gathered at Sinai (Deuteronomy 4:10) or to the assembly of Israelites before God https://t.co/JwwalQT9jE. In secular Greek, it could mean a public gathering, such as a magistrate’s assembly or a political council https://t.co/FKoyanuKdo. It does not inherently imply “sacredness” or “holiness” — it’s about being called together for a purpose.
Humans have 5 million olfactory sensors. Cats have 50-200 million. Oranges are not the only thing that overwhelms a cats VERY sensitive noses and thus is recognized as a threat to a cat.
Stick your head in a plastic bad full of toxic fumes and you will understand the poor cats reaction.
Opening a sealed ceramic container of coffee grounds not know my cat was on top of the fridge prompted my cat to "rescue" me from the danger of those coffee grounds by FLYING off the fridge onto the counter and slapping that heavy ceramic container across the kitchen.
@MJsButterflyGi1 I'm sure you have no comprehension of the purpose of my "discussion" with Grok. Not this one nor any other "discussion" I have had with any of these AI bots or you would not have responded with this statement nor 🤦♀️. Indeed 🤦♀️
I am aware I am correct about their original classification, not lineage. A starling has always been a starling and an oxpecker has always been an oxpecker. Still with enough similarities to be in the same classification. Such as willingly eating ticks.
I love animals and birds and have read about countless said animals and birds over the decades. They are very fascinating and beautiful to me.
We will never know all there is to know about them just as we will never know all there is about anything, including ourselves. Every new search about them is a new adventure.
It is not a matter of any bird being "found traveling on cattle". Nor what YOu personally have seen.
It is simply a matter of what each bird will and wont eat and what they will and wont do to get the food depending on level of hunger. It's simple a matter of what is and isn't possible.
Yes a starling can and will pick a tick off a cow if it is hungry enough. If it's standing there and sees something it eats while hungry it is going to eat it. They are opportunistic AND adaptable eaters.
Cows understand birds eat parasites and will encourage a bird onto itself in the hopes it is hungry and will eat the offending parasite.
It is just not that hard. The cow may or may not encourage ANY bird, even one that will not be able or willing to eat said offending parasite. Simply out of instinct.
Indeed for a very long time oxpeckers were classified in the starling family. Whether they change its classification or not it does not have to live "out west" to be that class of bird. (A class that would pick a tick off cattle if it were hungry) A starling will. A cardinal wont. A cardinal does not eat them on purpose. A starling will because its an opportunistic eater and adjust to their environment at the time.
We have all kinds of "birds" "cats" "cattle" "dogs" all over the world. They still have plenty in common to be classified the same no matter what geographic area they usually live.
@scottyscotty69@staypetulant@SageKrystal1@RL9631 Starlings WILL pick ticks off cattle if they happen across it while they are hungry. They are opportunistic feeders. Certain species of starlings, (oxpeckers) even specialize in picking ticks off cattle. It seems maybe the cow is hoping THIS bird is hungry.
@PatUnleashed Umm The reason the majority dont have ac there is because traditionally they have had milder weather. As the climate has changed there to have some heat waves there has been a drastic uptick in AC being put in homes there. The high temps and humidity has been here all along.
