@DrWaldmiller @Latterdaytruth To be fair, they agreed with the Bible on this point within my lifetime.

[TheRealMatthew @StillAMatthew]

@Latterdaytruth No

[TheRealMatthew @StillAMatthew]

@JSeremani @Thevine_ntwk Kindly read your Bible outside the influence of her writings, then get back to me.

@EvanMaugha94734 @Nikthenord LDS makes things simpler, perhaps, but not more truthful. Real truth requires chewing, but then also trusting. LDS is softlt chewable baby food made primarily of arsenic.

Last week, an arbitrator blew up StubHub's convoluted arbitration agreement. STUB has failed to pay required AAA fees in four of my clients' cases; it has moved it address for Notices of Dispute six times in one year; its addresses have oftentimes been vacant or undeliverable; it claims its liability in most cases is limited to $200 in damages (even if they failed to refund a consumer $8,000 for scam tickets); STUB requires consumers to contact them by certified mail at shifting, bogus addresses while STUB can email the consumer if it so chooses; and the list goes on and on. They wanted to hide all of this in arbitration, but that's not working out so well for them.

How crazy is the plagiarism in the Passion Translation?

Brian Simmons often attempts to slightly alter the language of a footnote which he is stealing from a prior source.

The only problem? In attempting to lightly modify the work he is stealing, he ends up committing basic factual errors.

The end result is that the idea which he plagiarized is no longer correct.

An example: footnote 21 in TPT, commenting on Luke 23:51, says

"One ancient Syrian manuscript adds here, “This man was one who did not take part with the mind of the Devil.”

The footnote he is plagiarizing (from David Bauscher's "Original Aramaic New Testament") says:

"Old Syriac adds, “This man was one who did not take part with the mind of The Devil.”

"Old Syriac" is a technical term for a group of Syriac manuscripts.

There is no such thing as "Ancient Syrian" manuscripts of the NT.

Likewise, the corresponding translation is not found in any other extant english work in existence apart form the source he stole it from.

And yet, Simmons has the audacity to act as if he's looking at a "manuscript."

Christians (especially fellow continuationists who are the targets of Brian's fraud):

Do we care about the 8th commandment or not?

@JSeremani @Thevine_ntwk This is bad advice, and if you take this book seriously, you need to repent.

[TheRealMatthew @StillAMatthew]

@seanfeucht @BasedMikeLee Go away you predator. Mormons are not Christians, and neither are you, because evidence of salvation is repentance, and you have failed this.

[TheRealMatthew @StillAMatthew]

Punish poor service.

Bought a $1,742.80 camera online from BestBuy.

The FedEx delivery driver stole it. FedEx admitted it.

But BestBuy won’t give a refund. They said we need to “work with local law enforcement.”

Thought everyone should know if you buy from @BestBuy and a @FedEx driver steals what you paid for, your money is gone. Neither company will make it right.

I’ve spent over $30K at BestBuy and will never spend another penny there.

@jsclark5768 @MissBess77 Well, this is certainly a take. A super bad one, though.

@LonSuder5 @fruuben @BereskyEric @Nerdrotics @unayosimi I'm pro life. You're not arguing with me. You wished death on someone you disagree with.

[TheRealMatthew @StillAMatthew]

@LonSuder5 @fruuben @BereskyEric @Nerdrotics @unayosimi Wishing death on people who disagree with you: that's true evil.

[TheRealMatthew @StillAMatthew]

@fruuben @BereskyEric @Nerdrotics @unayosimi Do you know at what stage brain waves are detected in infants? How young the youngest child has survived after premature delivery? When they've shown the baby to feel pain? If consciousness is your rule, why is killing you in your sleep murder just like if you're awake?

[TheRealMatthew @StillAMatthew]

@unayosimi We are unprepared for most of the things in life the first time we encounter them. That is no excuse. "Oh, I'm not ready to handle a mother in law. I'll just kill her and save myself the trouble." Tell me how this is different.

[TheRealMatthew @StillAMatthew]

@BereskyEric @Nerdrotics @unayosimi Wanna guess what "fetus" means?

Spencer Pratt got 0 out of 24,000 votes in a late night LA ballot drop.

0/24,000

A guy getting around 30% support got 0 out of 24,000.

Astronomically small probability of happening.

Impossible.

California no longer even hides it.

Doors need to be kicked in.

[TheRealMatthew @StillAMatthew]

@GovPressOffice Why can 3rd world countries count every in person vote in one night? Doing it slower doesn't engender confidence.

@P4b57_0B4N @RinoTheBouncer Celeste isn't a girl.
