..being a Christian does not require you to believe that God literally extended some sort of appendage down from the sky and pushed together a pile of dirt to build Adam. The fundamental beliefs of the Christian faith are not at odds with the theory of evolution.
@ChrisJe40906141@MikeCosper I can understand you don’t like feeling judged. But this is a pretty ambiguous justification you are giving here. It seems like if you’re going to call someone atrocious you should have something real to point at and justify that
@Jim_Banks driving the country into a recession is one way to bring down inflation, but I don’t think that’s what working families had in mind when they voted for you clowns. highest unemployment rate in 4 years, but hey at least prices aren’t going up as fast 🤦🏻♂️
@Jim_Banks@realDonaldTrump What’s shameful is how the Republicans who control all the levers of government are more interested in blaming everyone else for the problems created by their incompetence. Hoosiers elected you. You are not a victim, Jim. Stop blaming others and do something, you impotent coward
A 27 yr-old Iranian woman converted to Christianity, and had to flee Iran (where conversion brings the death penalty). She fled to the US to seek asylum. The Trump administration arrested her, put her in shackles, loaded her on a military plane with 300 other migrants...
@Jim_Banks@PeteHegseth what is the accountability for Elon? Jim, stand up and take some responsibility. Do not let Musk have access to my tax info you pitiful cowering fake.
@BiblicalBeauty@Phil_Johnson_ I have a hard time believing God cares about the language we use. I suspect judging your neighbor with sterile, proper words of condescension is actually worse than cursing them with vulgarity. At least the vulgar is less likely to believe in his own goodness
@GMRench@NewSaintAndrews If someone reads Tolkien and then goes on to have debates about the biology of elves, I’d say they probably missed the author’s message.
When you all scour every passage and try to extract precise rules from the text, I think you miss the message
@Fyeahfandom72@ZachWLambert@shellbelle2013 Not trying to say most pastors are motivated by power, I think and hope it is a small minority. But, I think the odds that a pastor is motivated by power are much higher than for the average random person you meet on the street.
@Fyeahfandom72@ZachWLambert@shellbelle2013 People are tempted by different things. The desire for power is a strong temptation for some. In many parts of the US, churches are the most powerful institutions in the community. People who crave power are naturally drawn to church leadership.
