@lowles_nick You remind me of creatures like Walter Duranty, Mr Knowles, denying the Soviet extermination of the Ukrainian kulaks, accusing truth tellers like Lowe of being the liars.

With the testimony of so many victims now a matter of record, how do you sleep at night?

@RealDonKeith In a country where some 75-90% (head of MI5 personally stated 75%) of terrorist suspects on the security services watchlist are Muslim, what sane individual would not be ‘Islamophobic’

I’ve seen a lot of blackpilling on here recently and people saying it’s too late to save England. You all need to stop being so weak.

Alfred the Great was exiled to a literal swamp on the edge of his kingdom after a Viking attack. He and his descendants retook England after that. It’s never too late. Our ancestors would be ashamed of our weakness.

England has almost been lost before and won back. We just have to be prepared to work really hard, possibly for a really long time.

@HistoryBro1 Newton’s research into hermeneutics is one of history’s best kept secrets.

He wrote more on the Bible than maths or physics.

@JaneMoxon381219 @RupertLowe10 @RachelD1892 Like how Reform stood down in 2024 to stave off the horrors of a Labour landslide , Jane?

Democratic politics by definition ‘splits the vote.’

@N8sNsc @rocknrollofall He’s a phenomenon, possibly less well known than he deserves

@Khaledhzakariah @DPJHodges Well said, Khaled

@Villgecrazylady For what it’s worth, the Quran says the same in Surah 5:21.

@revwickland @TheNorfolkLion St Paul offers an explanation:

“For this reason God will send them a strong delusion that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”

2 Thessalonians 2:11–12

@HKX37 Ever heard of the PLO?

Founded in 1964 while Gaza was part of Egypt and the West Bank Jordan.

They didn’t have a lot to say about their ‘illegal occupation’ either.

@ABridgen @frankie171717 He likewise questioned the narrative over the theft of Morgan McSweeney’s mobile phone.

A decade after the Islamic Revolution, the Iranians realised they had been cheated by a diabolic plot when the corpse of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini fell off its tabut (plinth) during his funeral in 1989.

Muslims believes this to be a sign that the soul of the deceased goes straight to hell.

[Tommy Robinson 🇬🇧 @TRobinsonNewEra]

Both men burning in hell right now.

I don't quite understand why some people think that destroying this EVIL Iranian regime is a bad thing?

They literally call for the death of England, and are seeking the means to do it.

When they tell you death to England, believe them when they say it.

When they say they are enriching uranium for civilian purposes they are LYING.

When they say they have missiles that can only reach just over a thousand miles yet send missiles targeting Diego Garcia which is over 3000 miles from Tehran they are obviously LYING.

Strong men stand up to EVIL and defeat it, they don't cower to it.

@dad_crowley @goodatmaths57 @WorldByWolf Likewise Stanley Baldwin got a third. David Cameron a first.

@obijuankanobi10 @redit33 @btbsoco @grok Given you don’t understand what a lie is - a statement the person making it knows to be untrue - best we leave it there.

[Simon Holloway @Scaroth1968]

In ‘Against Heresies’ written 180AD i.e. less than 150 years after Jesus lived, Irenaeus speaks of the four gospels and denounces all others in circulation as being unreliable.

Irenaeus studied under Polycarp, a disciple of the apostle John, so we have a direct chain.

Most of the New Testament was readily available at that point within scholarly circles.

[Simon Holloway @Scaroth1968]

If you’d seen documented evidence written in 1950 that testified 900 had seen Hitler in Bali five years before, suspect you would be tempted to follow up. That’s the more appropriate analogy.

You’re plain wrong that the accounts lack credibility. Many an atheist scholar has converted on account of Luke’s gospel, won over as they were by his forensic approach to historical detail and his statement in his opening chapter that he had examined the evidence in full and was given a full and fair account of events. I also doubt, as someone who’d travelled with him on several journeys, he’d share your certainty that Paul was a fraud.

[Simon Holloway @Scaroth1968]

It is interpretation, yes.

‘The third day’ is itself a recurrent motif. Abraham’s abortive sacrifice of Isaac is on the third day of his journey to Mount Moriah. God creates life on the third day of creation. Jonah spends three days in the great fish. And elsewhere, Jesus is explicit about his rising from the dead on the third day.

In truth the Bible is such a rich treasure trove I’d say it’s beyond the pay grade of any of us to understand it perfectly. We each have to extrapolate and interpret it as best we can, using the combined knowledge of those wise souls within the church and beyond (Isaac Newton was a phenomenal theologian, for but one example) who can help navigate the journey.
