I'm glad to hear you'll never be friends with liberals/democrats given their track record for the mutilation of children and their enabling efforts for human trafficking..... wait..... you're condemning an organization that's carrying out reasonable immigration policy and capturing 100s of child molesters and rapists. Wowww must be nice to engage with easy virtue signaling with no substance.
I'm not sure if you're asking or stating if we banned communism or not.
Im aware we've done some laws in the past fighting communism. However, im not aware of banning actual communists. There'd actually have to be actual consequences for being a communists if we are talking about a real ban.
I see no problem with laws banning communism or Islam. If they aren't religion. What loophole would be needed?
@BrowningMachine@EndWokeness No loophole is required. Just properly fix the incorrect category of Islam as a religion and correct it to a competing political system that cannot be allowed in the USA.
Yea, the message is that he is the fulfillment of the Old Testament, and no one sees the father without going through the son. Sent down to redeem origional sin. It's overall pretty interesting being fully God and fully man. I can't say it seems easy to understand how the three persons communicate in one nature.
Who are you trying to Aristotle me into thinking about what religion or nature he is?
@Kryptotajeer@GodLogic_GL So you just gonna ignore that the Quran calls itself false? What Islamic source are you referring to? Maybe you're just trying to say that nothing matters other than the false book, making a false claim of being the final revelation is perfectly acceptable.
@Only1GodExists@Ihunanya_chi Christianity is based on Jesus Christ. We are followers of Christ, which is why we are Christians. Are we supposed to say Jesus is a follower of himself?
We all have a limited amount of the resource of time, and I have a developing policy of using Ai responses as a counter to ad hominem attacks. I exercise the virtue of prudence in personal effort based on belief on whether the other person approaches in good faith. Which you have not. Im also not a salesperson. If you're contemplating baptism, then put in the work. If you do get baptized then thanks be to God! I will welcome you as a fellow brother or sister in Christ. It'll help your journey to make use of modern tools like the following.
Don't be afraid to use AI and available tools to learn and engage more effectively—embrace them as powerful aids for deeper study, cross-referencing sources, clarifying complex doctrines, or exploring historical theology faster and more thoroughly than ever before. They amplify your efforts without replacing personal faith, prayer, or discernment.Think of it like this: In warfare, refusing to use guns because "swords and skill have always sufficed" would leave you outmatched on the battlefield, no matter how honorable or traditional your blade. Similarly, ignoring modern tools like AI when pursuing rigorous theological understanding is like fighting today's battles with yesterday's weapons—you limit your reach and effectiveness when better instruments exist to help uncover truth more efficiently.
The Catholic Church has excelled at building rigorous, consistent, and progressively deepening theological teaching on God over nearly 2,000 years. Its Magisterium, Sacred Tradition alongside Scripture, councils, encyclicals, and scholastic works (e.g., Aquinas) enable organic doctrinal development—refining teachings on the Trinity, grace, and God's nature—while preserving macro-level unity (catechism, dogmas) and micro-level precision (detailed clarifications), with historical engagement of reason and science aiding intellectual rigor.
Non-denominational churches, lacking central authority and relying on sola scriptura with local interpretation, often restart theology "from scratch" per community, leading to variability in core doctrines about God and challenges in sustained macro consistency or cumulative deepening.Positives of non-denominational approaches: Strong personal Scripture engagement, fresh insights, practical application, accessible/vibrant preaching, quick cultural adaptation, and solid micro-level teaching in many local settings
(e.g., expository sermons).
Negatives: Risk of doctrinal drift, inconsistency, fragmentation, and shallow theology due to no binding tradition or accountability; often prioritizing experience/evangelism over systematic, historical precision.
People keep saying its crazy or impossible for God to make his own mom like thats some big circle or whatever, but honestly that kinda misses the whole point when youre looking at it from inside Christianity. God isnt stuck in time like we are. The Bible says stuff like "from everlasting to everlasting you are God" (Psalm 90:2) and "with the Lord one day is like a thousand years" (2 Peter 3:8). So the whole Incarnation thing isnt God needing a mom in some normal timeline way—its Him choosing to step into our messy human history through Mary because He wanted to save us. Isaiah even calls it Immanuel "God with us" way back (Isaiah 7:14).The Son has always been there eternally with the Father right? John 1:18 and 3:16 talk about Him being begotten not made. Mary didnt create Gods divine side or anything—she just gave birth to His human body when the time came. God being all-powerful can set that up without it breaking anything because Hes not trapped by our cause-and-effect rules like we are. Isaiah 55:8-9 straight up says "my thoughts arent your thoughts neither are your ways my ways says the Lord."If we can believe the crazy mystery of the Trinity—where the Son is just as eternal as the Father but still submits to Him somehow (like John 5:19)—then why is it such a stretch that the same God picks a human mom for when He becomes one of us? Saying no to that just cause it feels "illogical" to our brains is kinda like doubting the Resurrection (1 Corinthians 15) or God making everything out of nothing (Hebrews 11:3) just because it doesnt fit science or whatever. Faith means trusting what God showed us even when our heads cant wrap around it all the way ya know? Like Hebrews 11:1 says faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we dont see.Bottom line calling Mary Mother of God isnt some trick or making her too big—its just protecting what the Bible says about Jesus being fully God and fully man. And yeah it blows our minds but thats kinda the point. Gods bigger than our logic. We believe first then we start to get it a little. Like Augustine said "I believe so I can understand" not the other way around. This aint word games its just worshipping the God who actually came down here for us.
Full disclosure its a simple Ai response to your ad hominem. I encourage you to use tools to better inform yourself when struggling with logic and inability to understand a so-called "incomplete definition." It makes you non-denominational Christians look bad again
@JeepersitsJack@BlaireWhite It's not a bad point. However, it would be very demoralizing to conservatives to see no real attempt to hold him accountable for his actions.
@RikardoMann@Tim_Walz No worries, brother, he is a Nebraskan. Elected by a fraudulent system.
We need to take the opportunity that all this shit happened, which is coming to light in our state of democrats criminality and win the midterm.
Put "Pride" back into Minnesotans!
@GovTimWalz Your a Nebraskan!
We Minnesotans don't claim you. You've brought enough shame to my state. You and your defrauding cronies and voter schemes.
We are also trying not to vomit over the fact that we can't disown Amy Klobuchar.

Just read groks' objective breakdown of our debate. im tired of talking to a wall. Though im surprised I did more poorly in score than I thought.
Best wishes to you and you're family.
You're an idiot. You haven't addressed a single point.
My ancestors fought in the American Revolution. I really hope you're not an American citizen. If you are, I can pray that the average American is not an unpatriotic coward like you.
There's still some hope in the voting process. However, that hope is dwindling. If we sincerely look at the situation and do our best to right the situation and succeed, then great. Peace is preferable. It is just a simple statement of fact that the avenues of peace for peace are not infinite. Respecting this truth is how we approach the problems with due seriousness and treat the still existing peaceful paths with the respect they deserve.
Seriously, read a history book on the American Revolution moron.
Yea NO SHIT. Im glad the founding forefathers were willing to be branded as traitors and condemned to death by the British empire. We are pretty lucky they had balls and won.
Not only that, but they had the foresight to include the right to overthrow the government, which is in the declaration of independence. Also interesting is it was inspired by the Virginia declaration of rights of 1776, and there were other multiple different state founding documents that have also founded acknowledging the right to revolt.
To perfectly clear I'm not advocating the overthrow of the us government today. However, the less informed Americans are of the right to overthrow a tyrannical government and what a government that doesn't protect the rights of the "citizens" looks like. The greater increase and chance of politicians and powers to be of trampling on our rights.
Hope that helps
Not very familiar with the American Revolution, are you?
A provision is not required. It's how rational people act. When the government is compromised and unsaveable. In other words, "no taxation without representation."
There is no case for rationally disregarding or not having a border. All countries need to have them. Therefore, there is no rational reason to not comply with the enforcement of them.
Also, this isn't about whether the US government is at the unsavable state or not. This is stating a simple truth. Once a government reaches that level, the moral obligation that existed to follow laws now become the moral obligation to break them and begin anew. A messy undesirable undertaking for sure and unpleasant as it may be sometimes necessary.
Once again, she made a poor comparison. I'd suggest you try to understand the relationship between morality and laws. They should overlap, but they can never be synonymous. After all, since all laws are violence, I doubt most people would actually want to enforce all morality with violence
So avoid simple-minded statements like everyone always needs to follow the law. It's simply not true.
