Fact checking these days is nearly impossible if you're not familiar with a topic. Find people you trust, build a network, expose yourself to new ideas.
@NickJFreitas@DineshDSouza This seems like a nonsequitor- you believe the sincere Christian who has a progressive worldview/theology is going to heaven, yes? But you still call out their bad theology and how it distorts the Bible, yes?
@NickJFreitas@DineshDSouza They used to be relatively honest and upfront about it, but now it’s buried under so much jargon and double speak that the vast majority of Calvinists don’t know that and will deny it unless phrased in a specific way, and even then they’ll deny the implications.
@NickJFreitas@DineshDSouza And as someone who respects YOU, no it’s not. I spent ten years in Calvinism, I can quote their theologians backwards and forwards, and if you separate out what makes Calvinism unique as a branch of Protestantism, it’s literally all comes down to this.
@Zoomer_South I voted for Donalds and it’s primarily because, after Covid, I don’t trust myself to do my own research. I do the basics, but I primarily rely on people in the space that I trust, and Charlie Kirk endorsed Donalds.
@Leaflit@Asmongold Good knights on the other hand are determined by two categories: how faithfully and effectively they carry out their orders, and by whom they choose to serve. Kings decide which and how wars are fought, but knights are the ones who do the fighting and the dying.
@Leaflit@Asmongold Moral masturbation (the feeling of being moral divorced from its intended end state) is terrible, but it’s not the difference between knights and kings, it’s the difference between good kings and bad kings.
@ChristianHeiens@JacksonRowellFL Come to Tampa! Or you know, wherever you think is best, but I’m Tampa and could use some company as we figure out how to be the new elites that save/reforge the country, so if you decide on Tampa, hit me up!
@mydrothers@thatsKAIZEN@KJxthexTG Right, because the amendment definitely doesn’t go on to say “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof”, and the writers didn’t clearly delineate in the arguments that that obviously wouldn’t include foreigners and aliens, and anyone who owed allegiance to another country.
@ChristianHeiens Respectfully, I disagree. I think this is an issue of blaming one branch for the failures of another. As long as we the people tolerate violence from the left, and respond with only complaints, then all Schmittians will functionally be leftists, even if they were right wing once.
@redchinchompa@OldSchoolRS Oh no, they brought us amazing content that accidentally gave us all a fun boost and now they're addressing it so as to preserve game integrity! It's a good thing we have douchebags like you to be a jerk to them, otherwise working on this game might feel rewarding.
@ChristianHeiens Plus, most of the famous internet atheists are now either Christian or at least see it as something of an ally, so the idea that Reddit atheism won the arguments was completely foreign to me.
@JamesFi47362177@SimoneHCollins Right, it’s definitely not like Jesus recognized that he had limited energy/time and prioritized a particular mission despite being able to do incredible amounts of good wherever he went, and he definitely didn’t refuse to tempt god by taking unnecessary risks for no real gain.
@nigadamus@SimoneHCollins Driving a car is one of the most dangerous activities that people regularly engage in, so almost everything will be less risk, but if the activity doesn’t give proportional value, that’s what makes it sinful. It’s not about absolute risk, it’s about risk/reward ratio.
@Cincinnatus_DC @JungleJoosh @ChristianHeiens I’m not sure why your question is about his position rather than the data, but as of 2023, there 62 black congressman and only 8 of them were from non minority districts. So if something is happening >80% of the time, it would be foolish to hold any other “position” politically.
@Unixsystem13@ManifestOurs@ChristianHeiens “Our side” was designed to oppose slavery, and they did it very effectively. It’s literally just our side not paying attention after Election Day and holding people accountable with primaries, and failing to give double honor to those who serve well.
@MrSnarky824777@ChristianHeiens That’s it own problem- true but distinct. Still, the answer is the same, which is to primary the problematic one’s but Heiens’ perspective changes exactly what we’re looking for in a primary challenger.
@martyrmade@GrayConnolly Personally, I world describe myself as Christian, and therefore a nationalist, and therefore a Zionist. I wouldn’t connect either of those directly to my Christianity except to show that they are subject to, and do not reign over, my Christianity. But that’s a mouthful.
@martyrmade@GrayConnolly Okay, so is there an easy way, or just a better way, to indicate that you believe in minimalist Zionism? Because a lot of people don’t these days, and I think that is just as, if not more, problematic than what you call evangelical Zionism. How would you describe yourself?
