@wooki_75@ssj007_cfc They are not going into a terminal. They’re going directly onto the bus to the hotel. Not into the actual airport itself. They’re doing it by the plane out of convenience for the team.
That’s not the same thing at all. The prophets, Apostles, and biblical authors were part of the unfolding of divine revelation that culminated in Christ and the Apostolic age. They didn’t show up 1,800 years later claiming that God’s Church had completely failed, that Christians had worshipped the wrong God for centuries, and that they alone had restored the truth. The issue isn’t that something was “added.” The issue is claiming authority to overturn what had already been handed down to the saints once and for all.
@MotherGoddessM@RyanMcbeth You should probably read Acts before correcting other people. Paul wasn’t in prison when Christ appeared to him. He was on the road to Damascus on his way to persecute Christians (Acts 9). It’s not a matter of interpretation or opinion. It’s literally what the text says.
Most of the churches that came out of the Great Awakenings were founded by charismatic preachers who claimed they had finally figured out what Christians had supposedly been getting wrong for 1,500 to 1,800 years. Many preach “Bible alone” while rejecting the very Church that preserved, compiled, and canonized the Bible. Christ didn’t found thousands of competing denominations with contradictory doctrines. If your theology requires believing that virtually every Christian got it wrong until your pastor, revival movement, or 19th century preacher came along, that’s not faithfulness to Scripture. It’s arrogance.
Read Paul’s story again. After his encounter with Christ, Paul submitted himself to the Apostles and was recognized by those who had actually walked with Jesus. He didn’t declare that the Church had fallen into total apostasy or that centuries of believers had worshipped the wrong God. Joseph Smith claimed authority over the entire Christian tradition based on his own revelations. The comparison simply doesn’t hold up.
Please name them. We’ll go one by one. There’s only one Church founded by Jesus Christ. St. Paul didn’t claim the Church failed for 1,800 years, rewrite who God is, add new scriptures, or say Christians had been wrong the entire time. Joseph Smith did. Teaching that God was once a man and that men can become gods isn’t just another denomination it’s a completely different religion dressed up in Christian terminology.
Comparing Joseph Smith to St. Paul is beyond ridiculous. Paul did not claim that Christ abandoned His Church for 1,800 years, he did not introduce new scriptures, and he did not rewrite who God is. He preached the same Gospel he received from the Apostles and explicitly condemned anyone who preached a different one (Galatians 1:8). Joseph Smith claimed new revelations that contradicted the faith Christians had always professed, teaching that God the Father was once a man, that men can become gods, and presenting a completely different understanding of Jesus and the Trinity. That is not a development of Christianity; it is a replacement of it. Calling Joseph Smith the equivalent of Paul is an insult to the Apostles and a blasphemous distortion of the Gospel. Paul defended the faith once delivered to the saints. Joseph Smith claimed the faith had failed and needed him to reinvent it.
@KarinaVibez It all depends if they were screened before they got on the flight or not it happens to me almost every time I’m going from Lisbon to JFK when I get to the control gate area 90% of the time they pull me to the side and check everything again
@scoopnotroop69 This is completely normal They came on a private charter flight so they did not go through the normal security screening. I get checked before boarding almost every single time when coming from Lisbon At the gate.
Spain picked where they were going to train. Qatar got thousands of people killed to build their stadiums. What are you talking about? All the games so far aren’t even as World Cup stadiums. You’re not even in the United States how do you know anything about the hype or if anyone’s excited? Lmfao 🤣
