Then why is none of this in the Bible?
· Purgatory
· The papacy
· Relic veneration
· Praying the rosary
· Transubstantiation
· Prayers to the dead
· Sinlessness of Mary
· Confession to priests
· Apostolic succession
· Perpetual virginity of Mary
· Bodily assumption of Mary
@BishopJaxi „Faith alone“ means not that you dont need good works in the sense of after you are born again. It means we can only be justified by our faith, not works, but living in sanctification, which includes good works, is still commanded onto us. Also means that we gotta flee the sin.
@KuhnSteven90717 @Antikeburg No man thats just not entirely honest. The Trump-Russia Collusion from 2016 obviously was a hoax. However, the AfD, which I am definitely somewhat in support of for certain elections here, absolutely has big connections to russia and thus poses a threat to Germany.
@TateTheTalisman You claim to be a christian but there is little to no visible evidence from either your actions or your words, nor your tweets, that back this claim up in any way.
@ML3democrats Lmao the climate summit for which they are:
- building a new pier to dock two cruise ships to give sleeping room to all attendees
- deforesting acres of rain forest to build a new highway
- travelling with more planes etc then most ppl will ever flyy
? That one?
1. I was Catholic.
2. I heard the gospel.
3. I became a Christian.
Many such cases.
History is long and messy. If “history” convinced you Roman Catholicism or Eastern Orthodoxy is true, you weren’t much of a believer in the first place.
If I were in heaven, I’d beg God to send a woman to hug my children for me. I’d look down, beyond thankful that my family was having love poured into their lives. When @RepThomasMassie mentioned that the lovely woman in his life now has helped reestablish chickens and ducks on his farm, I could tell it meant the world to him. His sweet wife, who passed away after years of battling an autoimmune disease, had likely been the one tending the flock while he was in DC. For his new bride to step in and turn his off-grid farm, where he’d lived alone, into a home again must be one of the greatest blessings Thomas could've received from God.
I know that the greatest gift given to our grandmother after her first husband died was a truly loving second husband who brought joy and love to her children and grandchildren. The stories at his funeral were among the most heartfelt and beautiful I’ve ever heard. Imagine grandsons so grateful for a man who taught them how to be good men, how to hunt and fish, and most of all how he kept their grandmother feeling happy and deeply loved. I can still see her face light up whenever he was near. Her heartbreak found a bandage in him, one that helped her thrive again.
I also watched my grandmother on my father’s side spend most of her adult life alone after her husband died. I've always wished someone had been there with her and for her everyday.
If something ever happens to me, I hope my family is hugged daily, prayed with, and given space to talk about my life. His family and close friends are happy for them and feel like this is good for both of them. They all need grace and we should be willing to give it to them. I'm praying for them and I hope you all will too.
Trump has been a good President.
DeSantis would make people forget the Trump presidency quickly though.
DeSantis is more ruthless and cunning than Trump when it comes to dismantling bureaucracy and beating Democrats.
I believe he would decimate the Left on a structural level, whereas many of Trump’s wins are on the style level.
