@DemarsSean Fact: most people who disagree with this are faithless heathens and should quiet themselves until they have a better understanding of God. The rest are retarded pagans.
@dawson_romines@DemarsSean That is correct. This way your attachment to earthly things which shall pass away, doesn’t impede your heavenly and spiritual mandate. Your treasure IS in heaven so whether you are abased or abound it doesn’t matter because your eyes are on the cross. Not circumstances.
@ConceptualJames “You navel gaze about the past, divorced from reality and use Con/serve pronouns. I navel gaze about the past, divorced from reality and use Trad pronouns. We are not the same.”
@1AllHearingEar@LoudOutside It is. She’s incorrect but that her conclusion isn’t devoid of logic due to the phrasing. You know what they intend so you can’t conceptualize it differently
@blatant_sock@not_our_guy It’s in fact not effective. Nor Godly. You hate redemption. Does God call you a whore or a sex toy when you look upon a woman with lust? Does He call you duplicitous sack of excrement for lying? No. And you are no prophet. You don’t have the authority.
@LloydLegalist Wait you invited your friend to church and either A. Didn’t help him find one in his local area or B. Didn’t have him come to your church if he lives near you or C. this is your church. That’s not good discipleship.
@LloydLegalist@RazorFist There’s nothing theologically bad. sounds like a conversation among laymen, not a sermon so of course it’s conveyed casually. That connects with their audience, which is the point. “That Jesus fella is alright but He talks too much about gardening, get back to the Torah!”
@FindingHomeland@CoCKnowWhatIMe1@brks1138@kangminlee@sanskarstine It doesn’t imply that at all. There’s no valuation found in the statement. It simply is. Everyone from that child to a Saudi prince has hardship. Even in the religious context it’s not a positive without a qualifier. It grants perspective, gratitude, and community
@mrwittmayer@not_our_guy “chosen people” don’t get it. In Leviticles Jesus spake “I came not to park under two hours but over night.” And when Sanhedrin tried to ticket his Toyota Supra He revealed it was still the sabbath thus free parking. Later a humble merchant validated His ticket and was BLESSED.
@Joseph_Spurgeon@not_our_guy I just love the hubris thinking you know more than God lol “I know Jesus never demonstrated or taught this, and that the person was made in your image like I was, and You sent them my way, but I know better that they aren’t worthy of my presence.”
