God named Israel not after Abraham, or Isaac, or even Joseph.
They were named after Jacob. If you want God and his blessings, all he offers. Are you willing to fight for it? Struggle for it? Cling to him all night?
We are the ones who struggle.
I try not to make fun of Ellen Page. At the of the day she is a severely mentally ill woman who has mutilated her body and done irreversible harm while the left cheers it on. This is regression of America, not progress. Never give into the trans movement.
NEW: Justice Clarence Thomas issues a scathing 91-page dissenting opinion after the Supreme Court struck down President Trump's birthright citizenship order.
"The Court today takes the extraordinary step of holding facially unconstitutional the President's Order excluding from citizenship the children of foreign temporary visitors and illegal aliens," Thomas wrote.
"In doing so, the Court adds to the sad history of the Fourteenth Amendment, which was designed and understood to secure equal rights for the freed blacks but has instead been repurposed for political projects that the Reconstruction Congress did not support."
@EricSpracklen I've been around grieving people many times. This is normal. Consider that if you're wrong (and you almost certainly are) then you are harassing a widow after the murder of her husband and participating in dismantling Charlie's lifework. But maybe that's the goal.

Where are the feminists now?
Where is Emma Watson?
Where is Natalie Portman?
Where is Angelina Jolie?
Where is Greta Thunberg?
Why are they silent?!
If you cannot affirm the belief of the trinity as spoken of in the Bible/nicene creed I cannot actually say we worship the same Lord. As I have understood it you believe that they are seperate. This is a matter of the very Nature of God.
If you say Jesus isn’t God of the trinitarian nature then you would need to believe he is a seperate god (polytheism) or an angel (Jehovah Witness). Or it just becomes Arianism meaning we worship a created being. But do you see why we don’t accept Mormons the same way? Unless you can say that Jesus is
The Only Begotten son of God. God from God, light from light, true God from true God. Begotten NOT Made.
Then we have to disagree.
@melonakos@farmingandJesus Exactly. But they tested it on already affirmed scripture meaning the OT. So where in the OT/NT can I find evidence of the Book of Mormon being true? If anything your teachings stand starkly opposed to the OT/NT and therefore I cannot believe that you worship the same God
I’m not saying new revelation = bad. I’m saying New revelation must be consistent with old revelation and be properly authenticated.
A Muslim could easily give the same answer you gave as they also believe the Quran is a miracle. Your arguement is a closed circular loop but you aren’t using independent evidence to show why the text should be regarded as revelation.
The bereans found evidence in the OT. Paul who brought more revelation was confirmed by the apostles and never deviated from what they have said.
Nothing you have said or the book or Mormon teaches aligns well enough for me to believe.
@melonakos@farmingandJesus That’s not a miracle nor is it verifiable information from the previous material. The bereans in the NT searched the scripture and were able to find the truth of Jesus and Paul called the wise. I can’t do that with Mormonism/Joseph Smith
Prove he was a prophet. Every other prophet biblically had something that confirmed them as a prophet. Elijah called fire from heaven, Moses led and performed miracles, Isaiah saw visions which came true, Ezekiel told prophecies that came true.
The NT apostles performed some sort of miracle and the ones who didn’t were confirmed by the ones who did, etc., What did Joseph smith do or what work prophesied he would come?
@WonGodOnly@sola_chad No one said that at all lol. The work is done for you but Jesus also says go and sin no more. We avoid sin, out of love for Christ. People like the man in the post try to earn favor by doing works. There’s a clear difference
🚨 I’m a Black man, a proud conservative, and a follower of Jesus Christ.
When I see protesters outside the Collin County Courthouse chanting “FUCK WHITE LIVES!” after Karmelo Anthony’s sentencing for murdering Austin Metcalf, my soul grieves.
This isn’t justice. This isn’t “community.” This is demonic hatred — plain and simple. All lives are made in the image of God. Every single one. Black, White, Brown — doesn’t matter.
Celebrating the loss of any innocent life, or cheering on evil because of skin color, is straight from the pit of hell.
And here’s the truth they don’t want you to say out loud: When Black conservatives, Christians, or truth-tellers like me call this out, we get labeled “traitors,” “Uncle Toms,” or “betrayers of the community.”
Let them talk.
I’d rather be disliked by some in my own community than stand before a Holy God and be found guilty of excusing evil, hating my neighbor, or twisting justice for racial points.
My allegiance is to Christ first — not color, not tribe, not political pressure.
“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil…” (Isaiah 5:20)
I choose truth over tribe. Light over darkness. God over man.
Who else is tired of the hate? Drop a 🙏 if you stand for real justice — not skin color.

As a black man I am completely embarrassed by what the black community is doing. We have black people crying on their hands and knees for a racist, violent thug who killed an innocent white man? Austin Metcalf deserves to still be alive, but he was killed for no reason.
CNN and the democrats have convinced America that white people are the racists but white people in America experience the most racism out of anyone. An innocent white kid was killed and black people are defending him just because he’s black. Black democrats are the real racists
Karmelo Anthony was found guilty of murder today. A teenager who will likely lose his freedom for decades. Austin Metcalf already lost his.
We raise black boys to perform toughness, to harden their faces around white people, especially. We tell ourselves we are preparing them for a hostile world. We are handing them a script that ends in a courtroom or a casket.
I know, because that script was handed to me. We have to stop doing this to our sons. https://t.co/pib5fzjlkR
No Protestant, Catholic, or Orthodox Christian denies the Old Testament. We deny new revelations like those of Joseph Smith because there was no confirmation.
Go back and read the OT. Moses came with signs: the Nile turning red, the staff into a snake, etc. Ezekiel came with prophecies and visions which came to pass. Same with Elijah and Isaiah. Jesus himself came with wonders. The Apostles have their own recorded miracles showing they were sent by God. These are key players in redemptive history.
Joseph Smith comes with a revelation which would also be a key turning point if it were true. But why should I trust him? God has shown no sign in the OT or NT that he would come. Jesus himself says it is finished. But then Joseph Smith comes along and upends everything, giving new revelation that conflicts with the Old Testament.
Thank you for sticking up for common sense. We are all trying to live our religion the best we can. The modern Christian thinks they are better because they deny the Old Testament and reject modern revelation. We Mormons believe it all and are persecuted for following god according to the dictates of our own consciences.
Why do Mormons even exist? This is the only Cult dumber then the Hebrew Israelites and the Jehovah Witnesses, at least they try to hide their lies with some sort of sense, you people made a whole new book, appointed a new prophet,
EVEN AFTER PAUL SAYS SPECIFICALLY ANYONE WHO PREACHES ANOTHER GOSPEL WILL BE ACCURSED
BREAKING - Karmelo Anthony suffers a major blow in court after his defense attorney, Mike Howard, attempted to argue that Austin Metcalf was responsible for his own stabbing and had essentially “impaled himself,” prompting an audible gasp from jurors in the courtroom.
