Many democrats won by changing their strategy and appealing to a. “us” verses “them” mentality, invoking a populist agenda: the "everyday, ordinary people" versus the "corrupt, powerful elite."
Instead of focusing on traditional left-wing or right-wing political ideologies, a populist agenda promises to take power away from those at the top and give it back to regular citizens.

@samueleyekosi Apart from God, this life is the closest you'll ever come to heaven.

[Shay @RightsideRa]

I believe it’s the Bible. To me, It’s the claim that best corresponds to reality—historically, philosophically, and experientially. Culture shapes what gets transmitted (including Western atheism), but it doesn’t decide what’s true. The “born elsewhere” argument is a genetic fallacy that cuts both ways. So the real question is which worldview actually fits the evidence. Ready to look at that, or are we staying in sociology?

[Shay @RightsideRa]

@OperHealAmerica Godly messengers and the Work of the Spirit is key to revival. Put those things together and the answer is yes, absolutely!

I was a staunch atheist, and then God supernaturally transformed me.

• I claimed there was zero evidence for God.

• I read Darwin, Sagan, Hitchens, and Neil deGrasse Tyson. I admired them all.

• I believed religion was invented to control people and cope with death.

• I spent hours with Christians in person, trying to convince them that science and evolution didn’t point to God and that religion was a myth.

• I sometimes mocked Christianity to their faces.

• I told former atheists they were never true atheists.

• I often asked theists, “Can you prove God exists?” and “Which God?”

• I studied evolutionary biology and believed life evolved through billions of years of unguided natural selection.

• Then one day, God—the Living God and eternal Creator of all things—began drawing me.

• For months, I felt His presence and pull daily and saw Him in my mind’s eye. I initially dismissed it as a hallucination, but it persisted. It became clear I was having a supernatural experience, the very kind I had once dismissed or mocked in others.

• I innately understood Him as the God of the Bible.

• God drew me to Scripture, where I encountered the truth of Jesus Christ.

• I believed, and the Holy Spirit supernaturally transformed me from within.

• I was comfortable and confident in my atheism with no intention of leaving.

• Once I encountered the truth, there was no returning to the lies.

• My life has completely changed and I have been made a new creation.

Since then, my relationship with the Living God has only grown stronger.

God exists. The Bible is true. Jesus is the only Way.

If you feel even the slightest call from God, don’t harden your heart.

Turn toward Him and see what happens.

We think it’s funny that the secular world banks on evolution even though random genetic mutations degrade functional code far faster than they create new, highly integrated biological information, which means that sheer mathematical odds of randomly generating the complex programming found in DNA make the theory highly improbable. 😏

[Realsammy @samueleyekosi]

I find it amusing that so many christians think Jesus is going to “return” to earth, to rule the world.

[Shay @RightsideRa]

What you see as excuses, is God’s patience in real time. Consistent with his character, He desires mercy over sacrifice. His will for your life is that you come to faith in Jesus Christ 2nd Timothy 2:3-4 says “This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.”

[Shay @RightsideRa]

Yes, kings such as Ahaz and Manasseh, along with ordinary people, later sacrificed children in the Valley of Hinnom (2 Kings 16:3; 21:6; Jeremiah 7:31; 19:5; Ezekiel 16:20–21; Psalm 106:37–38). The prophets treat this as exactly the abomination God had judged the nations for and had forbidden Israel to copy. Jeremiah 7:31 and 19:5 are blunt: the people did “what I did not command, nor did it come into my mind.”

Because Manasseh did this The Lord brought the commanders of the king of Assyria against him. They “captured Manasseh with hooks, bound him with bronze shackles, and took him to Babylon” (2 Chronicles 33:11). In his distress, he “humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,” prayed, and God “was moved by his entreaty and heard his plea; so He brought him back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD is God” (vv. 12–13).

Manasseh’s story is one of the clearest Old Testament illustrations of both God’s absolute sovereignty and His preference for mercy over sacrifice.

This is precisely the pattern expressed in Hosea 6:6 (“I desire mercy, not sacrifice”) and Micah 6:6–8. God does not delight in the blood of bulls and goats, and He certainly does not delight in the blood of children. What He desires is a broken and contrite heart (Psalm 51:16–17). Manasseh had offered the worst kind of sacrifice and still received mercy when he turned. His later reforms—removing the idols and restoring the altar of the Lord—were the fruit of that mercy, not its cause.
The story therefore undercuts two common errors: the idea that extreme sin places someone beyond God’s reach, and the idea that God is satisfied by religious performance while remaining indifferent to repentance. Manasseh’s life shows a God who is free to judge, free to humble, and free to restore—and who consistently values genuine turning to Him above any sacrificial act.

Imagine having zero objective standard of right and wrong, yet still clutching your pearls over ancient judgments against societies that practiced child sacrifice, temple prostitution, and open depravity. Meanwhile your own godless 20th century racked up higher body counts in a few decades than the entire Old Testament combined—and called it “progress.” But sure, the problem is the invisible sky daddy. 😏

[么 ꜱ ᴀ ᴍ ꪜ, @___TheGOOdWitch]

Imagine believing in an invisible, loving Father in the sky whose résumé includes floods, plagues, wars, and mass killings.🤔

[Shay @RightsideRa]

@ElonMuskSucks97 @philvischer I already answered this.

[Shay @RightsideRa]

Jesus Christ is central to Christian theology.
John 5:19 he makes this profound statement:
“ Jesus gave them this answer: 'Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.”

[Shay @RightsideRa]

Because Faith is how we are justified. God will never be proven using science. The Bible says without faith it is impossible to please God. Personally, I don’t believe God used evolution to create life. Why would he? —if he just speaks and that’s all that is needed. Darwin invented evolution because he had a hard time wrapping his mind around the cruelty of nature. The Bible says that he created animals and plants to produce after their own kind. That’s what we actually observe in real time. He said he formed Adam from the dust of the ground. What is the human body made of? Carbon, water, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. Are you familiar with chemist James Tour? He holds over 140 patent families, has published hundreds of research papers, and was elected to the National Academy of Engineering. He has several videos on how and why abiogenesis and consequentially evolution is impossible

[Shay @RightsideRa]

Male human nature means He assumed a real, particular human body and soul that was biologically male—born a boy, circumcised on the eighth day, called “Son,” “He,” and “man” throughout the Gospels, and risen as a man. Not a vibe, not a spectrum, not “assigned.” Same as every other male human. The divine nature isn’t biological; the human nature He took is. Next.

[Shay @RightsideRa]

Luke also writes that his intention is to write a truthful and orderly account. From a journalistic or historiographical standpoint: Interviewing eyewitnesses is a standard method for writing an investigative or historical record. While Luke's text itself is secondhand, the testimony inside it originates from primary eyewitnesses.

@athiestboi God was the source of light prior to him calling into existence the sun, moon and stars.

[Shay @RightsideRa]

He rose 2000 years ago. The church started around 30-33 AD. 2nd Peter 3:3-4 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
In the rest of the chapter, Peter directly addresses this skepticism with three main arguments:
•God Has Intervened Before (Verses 5–6): He reminds them that creation and the great flood prove that God actively breaks into human history; the world is not completely static. [1, 2]
•God’s Relationship with Time (Verse 8): He explains that "with the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day." God does not view time or delays the way humans do.[1, 2]
•The Reason for the Delay (Verse 9): He states that the delay is an act of mercy: "The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise... instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance."
Hope that helps.

[Shay @RightsideRa]

@BradleyHamster @Renatta Ah yes, the ironclad argument: “If God wanted me to believe, He would have invented the iPhone in 30 AD so I could have a selfie with the risen Jesus. Atheism also ends at the point of death. Just sayin’ 😏

[Shay @RightsideRa]

Ah yes, the classic “I reject the Bible as a source of morals… while borrowing its moral judgment that slavery is evil to dunk on the Bible.”
Special pleading is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. You need an objective standard that says “slavery is always and everywhere wrong” to make the meme work. Then you turn around and say the only book that actually grounded that standard is a joke. Pick one.
Also, shellfish ≠ slavery. One was a temporary ceremonial marker for ancient Israel. The other was a regulated, limited practice in a brutal world that the same text ultimately undermined through the imago Dei and “neither slave nor free.” But sure, pretend they’re the same category. That’ll own the theists. 😂

[Shay @RightsideRa]

@ElonMuskSucks97 @philvischer Orthodox Christianity does not teach that the divine nature is biologically male. It teaches that the Son took on a male human nature (and remains so forever), that Scripture consistently uses masculine language for God, and that this language is analogical rather than univocal

[Dustin Benge @DustinBenge]

5 reasons why it matters that Jesus Christ was born a man:

1. He is the Last Adam. Where the first Adam failed, Christ obeyed as our covenant Head (1 Cor. 15:45).

2. He is the Son of David. He fulfills God's promise of a King from David's line (Luke 1:32–33).

3. He fulfilled the Law. Born an Israelite male, He was circumcised and lived in perfect obedience (Gal. 4:4).

4. He is our Great High Priest. He fulfills the priestly office and intercedes for His people (Heb. 4:14).

5. He is the Bridegroom. Christ loves, redeems, and sanctifies His bride, the Church (Eph. 5:25–27).

[Shay @RightsideRa]

Millions read the Bible and become believers as a result. Therefore, reading the Bible does not cause Atheism.

[𝕷𝖚𝖈𝖎𝖋𝖊𝖗 @LucifersTweetz]

The fastest way to become an atheist is to read the Bible, but the fastest way to become a Christian is to catch a criminal charge.
