@realDrTT The BoM is either translated ancient scripture from God, or Joseph Smith faked everything. Good luck on your discovery.

As I mentioned during my general conference address Sunday morning, followers of Christ should follow Him by forgoing contention and by using the language and methods of peacemakers. In our families and other personal relationships, let us avoid what is harsh and hateful. Let us seek to be holy, like our Savior.

[Tim Tebow @TimTebow]

He is risen!!
Happy Easter fam!
Today we celebrate the greatest moment in human history. Jesus conquering death so that we could truly live.
No greater love, no greater gift, no greater reason to celebrate. Wishing you and your families a blessed Easter full of joy! 🙏

[Bear Grylls OBE @BearGrylls]

I once asked a friend why he believed in God. He said: "Because every time I've been on my knees, broken and out of options, something has picked me up." I've never heard a better answer. Happy Sunday. God Bless you all!

[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints @Ch_JesusChrist]

He is risen! And because Christ rose again, we will too. Thanks to Him, no pain, fear, failure, or unfairness is permanent. This is greater love. This is Easter.

@FoxNews The only fathomable reason to not require it seems to allow for fraud. Is there another reason?

On every expedition, I tuck a laminated piece of paper into my boots with Matthew 28:20 on it: “Be sure of this, that I am with you, even to the ends of the earth.”

A quiet reminder that we are never truly alone.

[Patrick Kearon @PatrickKearon]

Our mortal life is but a moment in our existence, but that moment—sometimes very difficult—is of eternal importance.

Yes, our Heavenly Father wants us to learn and grow. And, yes, that growth at times entails disappointment and suffering. But He wants our lives to be beautiful and hopeful.

To that end, and to ease our journey back to Him, He has provided a Savior.

Through His love and atoning sacrifice, Jesus Christ has dealt with and healed everything we will encounter in life.

What a joy to repent and be forgiven through Christ's redeeming love!

This is not about Catholics versus Protestants.

That’s what the dividers want. The moment it becomes a religious sectarian fight they’ve won because nobody has to debate the actual issue.

The real issue is about soul liberty.
And that was not a secular idea. It was not an Enlightenment idea. It was a deeply Christian idea
and the men who planted it in the foundation of this nation paid for it with persecution, exile, and blood.

Roger Williams was a Baptist minister and founder of Rhode Island who was expelled from Massachusetts for arguing that civil government had no authority over the conscience before God.

He called it soul liberty. The idea that faith coerced by state power is not faith at all.

John Leland was a Baptist preacher in Virginia and one of the most important and least remembered figures in American founding history.

He pressured James Madison directly. Told him he would not support ratification of the Constitution without a Bill of Rights that protected religious conscience. Madison listened. Without Leland’s pressure there may be no First Amendment.

James Madison himself wrote in his Memorial and Remonstrance that religion flourishes in greater purity without the aid of government. That state entanglement with religion corrupts faith rather than strengthening it.

Thomas Jefferson’s Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom is a document he considered one of his three greatest achievements alongside the Declaration and founding the University of Virginia. That document declared that the opinions of men are not the province of civil government.

Period.

These were not atheists constructing a godless state.
These were men shaped by centuries of watching the marriage of church and state produce the Inquisition. The Thirty Years War. The persecution of Baptists in England. The exile of dissenters in the colonies. They had seen what happens when institutional religious power controls civil government and they built a wall against it in the founding documents of this nation.

That wall is not anti-Christian.
It is the most Christian idea in the founding because it protects the integrity of faith itself.

Soul liberty means your conscience before God belongs to God alone. No pope. No king. No state. No institution. No political movement wearing the name of Christ.

God alone.

That is the tradition being threatened.

And it’s not being threatened by Catholics or Protestants. It’s being threatened by Catholic Integralists and Protestant Reconstructionists.

It is being threatened by the idea that the state should legislate morality and be subordinate to Church authority.

That the separation of church and state is not a feature to protect but a problem to dismantle.

It is being threatened by people who have decided that the way to win the culture war is to seize the state and use it to enforce a religious vision that the founding generation specifically and deliberately and at great personal cost built this nation to prevent.

So when someone tries to make this Catholics versus Protestants don’t let them.

Know your history. Know what you’re fighting.

The question is not which Church. The question is whether ANY church or institution or earthly authority gets to stand between you and God.

The men who founded this great nation said NO.

Don’t let them reframe it into a sectarian fight so you forget what you’re actually defending.
