So let me get this straight.
100% of the enslavement was done by Africans.
Only 4% of the TOTAL trans atlantic slaves ended up in America.
Where only 1.3% of Americans had a slave at the peak of slavery.
Some of those slave owners were BLACK
Anyone who supports “transgendering” children with drugs and/or surgery should be locked away in a mental institution.
Yes, that means the mayor of Boise should be institutionalized.

Archaeologists found the oldest evidence of Christianity in Northern Europe.
A silver amulet, buried with a man between 230 and 270 AD, worn around his neck.
In 2024, scientists used CT scanning to digitally unroll the tiny scroll inside it.
The inscription reads: “Holy, holy, holy! In the name of Jesus Christ, Son of God.”
It is the oldest known proof that Christianity had reached Northern Europe✝️
Here are some major areas where core LDS (Mormon) doctrines and practices diverge from or contradict explicit teachings and commands in the Bible:
1. Polytheism / Multiple Gods vs. Biblical Monotheism (One God Only)
LDS doctrine teaches that God the Father was once a man who progressed to godhood, that there are many gods (including a Heavenly Mother), and that faithful humans can become gods ruling their own worlds (eternal progression/exaltation). Jesus and the Holy Ghost are separate gods in purpose with the Father but distinct beings.
The Bible repeatedly affirms strict monotheism - one eternal, uncreated God with no others:
- Deuteronomy 6:4 (ESV): “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.”
- Isaiah 43:10 (ESV): “Before me no god was formed, nor shall there be any after me.”
- Isaiah 44:6 (ESV): “I am the first and I am the last; besides me there is no god.” (See also Deut. 4:35, 39; 32:39; 1 Cor. 8:4; Isa. 45:5.)
Jesus and the apostles upheld this (e.g., Mark 12:29). This is a foundational command against other gods.
2. Adding Scriptures and Continuing Revelation vs. Warnings Against Adding to God’s Word
LDS accepts the Bible plus the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, Pearl of Great Price, and ongoing prophetic revelation as equal or superior authority. Joseph Smith claimed the Bible was corrupted and incomplete.
The Bible warns against adding to or altering God’s revealed word:
- Deuteronomy 4:2 (ESV): “You shall not add to the word that I command you, nor take from it…”
- Revelation 22:18-19 (ESV): “I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues… and if anyone takes away… God will take away his share in the tree of life…”
- Proverbs 30:6 also warns against adding to His words.
Jesus and apostles treated the existing Scriptures as sufficient for faith and practice; new “revelation” must be tested against them (Gal. 1:8-9; Acts 17:11).
3. God Has a Physical Body vs. God Is Spirit
LDS doctrine states God the Father has a tangible body of flesh and bones, as does the resurrected Jesus; humans are literal spirit children who can progress similarly.
The Bible describes God’s essential nature as spirit, not corporeal:
- John 4:24 (ESV): “God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
- See also Luke 24:39 (spirit does not have flesh and bones); 1 Timothy 1:17, 6:16 (invisible, immortal God). God can appear in human form (theophanies), but His essence is spirit. Jesus’ incarnation was unique.
4. Proxy Baptism for the Dead and Post-Mortem Salvation Opportunities vs. Judgment After This Life
LDS practices vicarious baptism for the dead in temples, allowing the deceased a chance to accept the gospel in the spirit world (with varying degrees of heaven/hell).
The Bible teaches one life, then judgment - no second chances via proxy:
- Hebrews 9:27 (ESV): “It is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment.”
- Salvation is received in this life through faith (e.g., John 3:18, 36; 2 Cor. 6:2 - “now is the day of salvation”). Paul’s mention in 1 Cor. 15:29 is in a resurrection context and likely refers to a non-Christian or aberrant practice (he distances himself with “they” vs. “we”); it is never commanded or practiced elsewhere in Scripture or early orthodox Christianity.
Other notable differences include the nature of the Godhead (LDS view of three separate gods vs. the biblical Trinity - one God in three co-equal, co-eternal Persons) and teachings about Jesus as a created spirit-brother of Lucifer. These arise from prioritizing later revelations over the Bible alone
She isn’t all rainbows.
Let’s see why she is popular for some, but also unpopular.
Top reasons for disapproval of President Claudia Sheinbaum:
1. Insecurity and organized crime:
Dominant issue. Failure to reduce violence/cartels/extortion is most cited by disapprovers. Insecurity tops national problems, with low handling approval (~26%)
2. Corruption:
Low progress ratings (~11% approval on handling), tied to scandals and impunity
3. Economy:
Slow growth, inflation concerns (~19-27% broader worries); *approval of economic handling is very low at ~4%*
These drive the ~25-35% disapproval.
Supporters credit her on social programs: Mexicans get free or direct benefits like universal senior pensions (bimonthly cash), disability pensions, women’s pensions (ages 60-64), and expanding universal healthcare (phasing to free coverage for all by 2027 with no premiums/copays).
Plus student scholarships (all public school levels): scholarships add bimonthly cash stipends (~$95–105 USD per student/family) to cover supplies, transport, etc
