@senatorshoshana I personally have never met a Latter-Day Saint (myself included) that had a problem with alcoholic beverages as ingredients in food that will burn off the alcohol, i.e. Vodka sauce, beer-battered onion rings, etc. Some might feel weird about having vodka in their pantry though.
@OrlvndoA@DanielDiMartino Este es normal. Las aviones de la Armada y Fuerza Aérea de EEUU han hecho estés tipos de “muestras de fuerza” varias veces a la semana por casi dos meses. No implica que un ataque está imánente
@SantiVidalC@DanielDiMartino This is just the “estimated position” based on the speed and heading the plane had when it turned off its transponder. That grey line indicates there haven’t been any pings since it was off the coast of Curaçao
@MsMelChen Humanity has also punished a lot of people telling lies and falsehoods. The popularity of an idea doesn’t necessarily have any bearing on its quality.
@gwowls These are some late medieval examples of death personified in art. The idea is to show our equality in death and before God. This was especially poignant in the aftermath of the Black Death, when so many rich and poor alike died in the same horrible circumstances.
@gwowls The grim reaper is an artistic symbol for death and mortality, starting in medieval artwork and evolving through to the present day. It’s not a representation of the destroying angel or any other specific figure.
@snafu128@misfitpatriot_ It makes perfect sense for people who only want destruction and power for power’s sake. They have no real ideology, and they’re certainly not anyone’s team.
In what sense are admirers of Stalin, Lenin, and Hitler ‘right-wing’? People of Nick Fuente’s ilk don’t actually have any beliefs. They are on no one’s side. They just want to break things like disobedient, over-indulged toddlers.
@RedHotFuzz@Mormonger I don’t think the primary reason we’re asked to be peacemakers is so that we can make some societal change. I think it’s for the good of our own souls and to strengthen Zion. Doesn’t matter who spits it back in our face. The point becoming more like Christ, not external change
@DegenerateFail@Mormonger Is that not part of our calling as disciples of Christ though? It really doesn’t matter how many times others around us reject our attempts to build bridges, we just keep trying. The point isn’t necessarily for some worldly success, it’s to communicate god’s love
@templarsquare@thedispatch@JonahDispatch The wars of religion took place in the 16th and early 17th centuries, fought over political and theological controversies raised by the reformation and renaissance political philosophy
@owenbroadcast As a Latter-Day Saint I usually describe myself as a non-creedal Christian. I feel like it centers the key point of theological divergence from normative Christianity without being pejorative. Heretic is understandable from an outsider’s perspective, but not very helpful.
@GryphiusEitel@TeeplesCY I’m sure I could exercise more faith and deepen my repentance. I’ll do my best, trusting in Christ’s mercy. God be with you, brother
@GryphiusEitel@TeeplesCY I always find it strange how many Protestants in particular get weirded out that we occasionally refer to God as Elohim. It’s just the Hebrew word for God and the first word in the Bible. Are Catholics and Orthodox just more used to hearing God’s name in other languages?
@FHE_Dad@NoblestCalling Cheap, popular garbage has been a staple of the publishing industry a very long time. It’s just that most of the dime novel garbage of the 19th and early 20th centuries has been lost to the sands of time. The gems find their way to the surface.
