It is too easy to fight online and lose all perspective, forgetting all that we are called to do. I am as guilty of this as anyone else. Let's be charitable and loving with one another, and forgive them when they appear foolish, just as we hope they can forgive our foolishness.

@MasterMaliq Your fundamental misunderstanding is that God could just do this without any action. "An all powerful God can forgive, guide, and save without becoming a man and dying."

But, no, he wanted to SHOW it. Much like anyone can say they "love you" - do their actions demonstrate it?

@BasedMikeLee Question answers itself. 🤷‍♂️

For the month of June:
Day 1 of praying for @jordanbpeterson that he may:
1. have a full recovery
2. find solace and comfort in Christ during these very challenging times
3. indeed, come to fully know that Jesus is indeed the way and the truth and the life!
🙏

@jordanbpeterson Day 5

@chess_feed main purpose:
freeing up bishop for mate on d5. (others have posted lines)

@smile2jannah because it is a stark reminder of the reckless policies that allowed a flood of 3rd world immigrants who do not share the same western and Christian values.
Of course Sikhs the least hostile of the lot - but when brandishing a knife is deemed someone's "culture", they have to go.

@dawahxdialogues Aquinas not a Christian prophet. Just a theologian with his own ideas. Nobody has to follow or agree with a single thing he says.

Muhammad is your pedo prophet.
You all have to follow what he says.

Massive difference.
No double-standard.

@metathomist Where is purgatory clearly taught in the Bible?

Not "inferred from tradition," not "developed later," not "prayers for the dead imply it."

Simply: where did Jesus or the apostles teach that saved souls undergo post-death purification before heaven?

@vult_dues raped.
A lot.
Over and over again.
For eternity.

Muslim heaven is actually hell.

@TopStriker I mainly like the wild-eyed, panic look of Tristan.🤣

I am quite sure Andrew has dragged him into all of this mess... of course, mostly willingly, but Andrew clearly the (limited) brains behind this sex-trafficking and porn operation.

@MasterMaliq because it is BAKED into Christianity! Islam does not have this idea. So a Christian who harms others (beyond self-defense, arguably) is acting CONTRARY to his religion. A Muslim, on the other hand, who kills an apostate, for example, is acting in ACCORDANCE with his religion.

@Buzzsaws1990 @kathiliko_bette @GuerillaLawyer @JPuncut Sure, I am granting both possibilities on plain reading.
But you are rejecting one for some reason.

[coldfact @_coldfact_]

@Buzzsaws1990 @kathiliko_bette @GuerillaLawyer @JPuncut Not the plain reading of the verse I posted.

[coldfact @_coldfact_]

@kathiliko_bette @Buzzsaws1990 @GuerillaLawyer @JPuncut Yeah - that is exactly what he is doing… but a fair and plain reading would be: my own biological brothers are not more important than you my spiritual brothers.

[coldfact @_coldfact_]

@Buzzsaws1990 @kathiliko_bette @GuerillaLawyer @JPuncut If Jesus has brothers then Mary has other children.

(Yes, I understand other interpretations that they are cousins, Joseph’s sons etc)

I am saying it is not unreasonable to read that as Jesus’ brothers are Mary’s children.

[coldfact @_coldfact_]

@Buzzsaws1990 @kathiliko_bette @GuerillaLawyer @JPuncut And the distinction Jesus makes here between familial and spiritual brothers?

[coldfact @_coldfact_]

@kathiliko_bette @Buzzsaws1990 @GuerillaLawyer @JPuncut Yeah, that reading if until is harder to reconcile with before and after use.
The other one is still plausible and reasonable.

[coldfact @_coldfact_]

@kathiliko_bette @Buzzsaws1990 @GuerillaLawyer @JPuncut Yup nothing definitive biblically. It’s either interpreting verses (like his brothers and ‘knew’) or it’s accepting the doctrine if the Church. I am making no definitive statement either way I have no idea at all. I mainly land that it doesn’t change my opinion of her either way.

[coldfact @_coldfact_]

@Buzzsaws1990 @kathiliko_bette @GuerillaLawyer @JPuncut Just the glaring UNTIL suggests it.
