God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. The God of the OT is the same God in the NT. Jesus himself said if you have seen me, you have seen the Father. They are One God along with the Holy Spirit. A Trinity.
He is not vengeful but requires a payment for sin. That was the blood sacrifice. People did acts of evil and God did not "accept" them, He had a plan to redeem them. A final sacrifice. Jesus, God the Son. Our Savior. Keep reading and the Holy Spirit will lead you to Truth.
@gagcitySHERRIF We must recognize and appreciate our differences and then unite behind a common cause. I think we are now at ground zero for that and many are waking up to the fact that we have been divided far too long. Welcome and thank you for your honesty!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
How dare we allow politics to shape our theology?
Over the past ten years, I’ve watched Christians radically shift their theological beliefs in response to what they perceive as political crises. Initially, I saw this among friends who went “woke” in the wake of Trayvon Martin’s death, Ferguson, and Donald Trump’s 2016 election. I watched Christians like Russell Moore, Thabiti Anyabwile, and Lecrae shift their theological emphasis to align with the political crises of the day.
We were no longer brothers and sisters in Christ, living out our faith together. Instead, we were increasingly divided into black and white, with a new emphasis on social justice. The gospel was displaced by activism. Equal weights and measures were abandoned in favor of tipping the scales toward the “marginalized.” Theology was no longer primarily about what was true or false, but about what was considered white or black. We were told to move away from “white” theology and embrace “black” theology.
This shift wasn’t driven by Scripture. It was driven by politics. Theology was being reshaped to accommodate newly adopted political convictions.
More recently, I’ve witnessed a similar shift among other Christians, but in the opposite political direction. Since COVID-19 and the George Floyd riots of 2020, followed by an aggressive push for DEI policies and anti-white discrimination, I’ve watched men like @JoelWebbon, @Eric_Conn, and @Brian_Suave make similar adjustments to their theology in response to a different political crisis.
Now, the emphasis is on prioritizing white identity and heritage. Joel Webbon, for example, once said he would rejoice if his daughter married a godly black man. More recently, he has expressed opposition to that possibility, citing his preference for grandchildren who look like him. This represents a significant shift in how he approaches questions of race and marriage, seemingly to accommodate a particular political outlook.
Just as with the previous movement, this shift does not appear to be driven primarily by Scripture. Instead, it seems to begin with reading other materials to understand and respond to a perceived political crisis, followed by adjusting theological convictions to fit the resulting worldview. This helps explain the renewed interest by men like @Dalepartridge in arguments surrounding the Curse of Ham and appeals to “natural order of love” to justify racial separation, even among Christians.
I’ve been grieved by both movements. I’ve watched Christians who once appeared biblically sound gradually drift toward ethnic tribalism and idolatry as politics increasingly shapes their convictions. What’s particularly astonishing is that many of these people, now divided by seemingly irreconcilable views on race and politics, would have been worshipping in the same churches and doing life together just ten years ago. Unfortunately, they've allowed the cares of the world to divide them.
There is something to be said for Christians who plant their feet firmly in the truth of Scripture and refuse to be moved by the shifting winds of the world. Martin Luther famously declared:
“I am bound by the Scriptures I have quoted. My conscience is captive to the Word of God...Here I stand. I cannot do otherwise. God help me. Amen.”
I pray that these men will return to the truth of Scripture. I pray they will recognize that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood and, therefore, must not adopt the weapons of the world under the guise of fighting for Christ.
“Be careful that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deceit based on human tradition, based on the elements of the world, rather than Christ.” — Colossians 2:8
We need men who refuse to compromise, no matter how tempting it may be to gain power by employing the methods of the world. We cannot advance God’s kingdom or build a better society by appealing to ethnic tribalism, whether it comes in the form of social justice ideology or white Christian nationalism.
The temptation is the same in both cases: to allow a political movement to dictate our theological convictions rather than allowing Scripture to govern our political engagement and how we view and treat fellow believers. When that happens, we risk exchanging biblical truth for the approval of our political allies and the promise of worldly power. We become convinced that the end justifies the means.
There are certain biblical truths in which I believe are crucial for the times we are living in. We must plant our feet and refuse to move:
Church over tribe. (Mark 3:31-35)
Equal weights and measures over partiality. (Leviticus 19:15)
Faithfulness over pragmatism. (1 Corinthians 4:1-2)
Scripture as the final authority. (2 Timothy 3:16)
These are not merely slogans. They are commitments that must govern how we think, how we live, and how we relate to our brothers and sisters in Christ. Our allegiance to Christ must take precedence over our allegiance to any political movement, racial identity, or cultural cause.
Paul reminds us of the goal of Christian maturity and unity in Ephesians 4:11–16:
“11 And he himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, 12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, to build up the body of Christ, 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of God’s Son, growing into maturity with a stature measured by Christ’s fullness.
14 Then we will no longer be little children, tossed by the waves and blown around by every wind of teaching, by human cunning with cleverness in the techniques of deceit. 15 But speaking the truth in love, let us grow in every way into him who is the head—Christ. 16 From him the whole body, fitted and knit together by every supporting ligament, promotes the growth of the body for building itself up in love by the proper working of each individual part.” — Ephesians 4:11–16
The church must not be tossed about by every political crisis, ideological trend, or cultural movement. We must grow in discernment, remain grounded in the Word of God, and speak the truth in love. Our unity is found in Christ, not in a shared ethnicity or political agenda.
May we have the courage to stand firm in Scripture, even when doing so costs us influence, popularity, political allies, our culture, and even our country. Let us refuse to exchange the truth of God’s Word for the fleeting promises of worldly power. And may we never forget that our first allegiance is to Christ and His kingdom, not to a tribe, culture, heritage, or political movement.
6%. That's the percentage of people who claim to be Christians who have a Biblical worldview. Who is responsible? I fully believe Jesus is the answer and the Gospel must be preached....but if people are not aligning with what the Bible teaches, we have missed the mark. False teachers are destroying the Word of God and pulpits are silent. It's no wonder Christians don't know what it means to have a biblical worldview. "God, open the eyes of the shepherds so that the flock will know deception when they hear it and respond with biblical answers."
@DataRepublican You are a national treasure but even more, a warrior on the order of Queen Esther. You were created " for such a time as this." Thank you for pointing everyone to the Gospel. The victory has already been won!!
PART 2 of Setting the Record Straight on @KenPaxtonTX
Now, for those of you who keep screaming...
"But, but, but... Ken Paxton was impeached!"...
No shit.
But apparently, some of you have no idea what that means or what happened AFTER that.
So let's talk about it...
On May 27, 2023, the Texas House voted 121-23 to impeach Ken Paxton on 20 articles involving allegations of bribery, abuse of office, misconduct involving political donor Nate Paul, and retaliation against whistleblowers.
Serious accusations indeed.
But here's what some of you apparently don't understand...
Impeachment IS NOT a conviction nor does it prove he committed a damn thing.
The House brings the charges... but the Senate conducts the trial and determines whether the evidence warrants conviction and removal from office.
And guess what?
That's EXACTLY what happened.
Of the 20 articles, 16 proceeded to trial.
Witnesses testified...
Evidence was presented...
And both sides made their arguments.
I watched the trial and I thought the evidence was weak.
Apparently, I wasn't alone.
The Senate required proof beyond a reasonable doubt and to convict Paxton on any article, 21 senators had to vote in favor.
Not a SINGLE article received more than 14 votes.
Not ONE.
As a matter of fact, not a single article received enough votes for a simple majority.
On September 16, 2023, the Texas Senate ACQUITTED Ken Paxton on all 16 articles.
Now think about that for a second...
Someone gets accused of wrongdoing, stands trial, evidence is presented, and they're acquitted.
Yet people continue running around screaming about the accusation while conveniently leaving out the outcome.
The Senate heard the case and did not convict him.
You can believe the senators got it wrong.
You can criticize the evidence, the witnesses, the attorneys, or the process itself.
Hell, you can argue that politics influenced the outcome.
But don't pretend the trial never happened.
And don't confuse an accusation with a finding of guilt.
We have constitutional procedures, evidentiary standards, and due process for a reason...
And those protections don't suddenly become optional because you dislike the person receiving them.
Paxton was impeached.
He stood trial.
He was acquitted.
So again... if you're going to insist on judging someone by their record, then at least have the intellectual honesty to acknowledge the entire record.
Not just the part that supports your bias and your argument.
Let’s be clear:
If I’m not going to sleep with you, I don’t need to know anything about your sexuality.
And children—who are not going to sleep with anyone—certainly don’t.
Your sexuality is not sacred. It’s not a personality, it’s not a protected class of performance art, and it’s not the center of anyone’s moral universe but your own. Unless we are in a relationship, I am not obligated to acknowledge, affirm, or be exposed to your private desires—especially not in public, and especially not in front of children.
This used to be understood. Now it’s called hate.
No, We Don’t Owe You an Audience
Sexuality belongs in the private realm. It is intimate by definition. If you feel compelled to wear your kink on your sleeve—or on a float, or in a first-grade classroom—you are not inviting understanding, you are demanding submission. You are violating others’ right not to participate.
Consent doesn’t vanish because your fetish is “progressive.” If anything, the burden is higher.
No one consents to being flashed on the subway. No one consents to a stranger’s arousal. No one consents to a stranger telling their child about masturbation, kink, gender identity, or pornographic categories under the guise of “inclusive sex ed.” Yet all of this is happening now—in public parks, in classrooms, in televised programming.
It is not tolerance. It is invasion.
Children Are Not Here to Validate You
Children are not queer. Children are not sexual. Children do not need to “see themselves represented” in a spectrum of adult desire. This idea—that identity is only valid if sexualized and mirrored—is narcissism, not pedagogy.
There is no legitimate reason to initiate a child into the language of sexual preference, gender identity, or alternative lifestyles. The only people who benefit from that dynamic are those looking to normalize boundary violations.
Let me state it plainly:
Children who are not going to have sex do not need to be exposed to sexuality.
Period.
Any adult who insists otherwise is not confused. They are grooming.
Public Fetishism Is Not Liberation
There is a vast difference between being gay and demanding the right to simulate sex acts in front of children. Between being transgender and insisting on teaching kindergartners about breast removal. Between being proud of who you are and insisting the whole world observe your kink play in the street.
This is not diversity. This is decay.
Men in dog masks being walked on leashes by their lovers are not brave—they are forcing strangers into their psychodrama. This is exhibitionism, and when children are present, it becomes criminal exhibitionism.
We used to know this. Peeping, flashing, voyeurism—these were considered red flags. Dangerous behaviors. Early signs of escalation. Now they’re filmed, hashtagged, and funded by public grants.
Stop Calling It Love—It’s Entitlement
This is not about who you love. It’s about how you demand to be seen. If you need the entire public to witness, applaud, and adapt to your sexuality, you’re not a pioneer—you’re an emotional colonizer.
Love does not demand a captive audience. It does not parade past toddlers. It does not demand that schools teach four-year-olds about “preferred pronouns.” Love protects children. Love guards modesty. Love waits.
And if you can’t wait—if you need to be seen, affirmed, and obeyed—you’re not talking about love. You’re talking about power.
Consent Applies to Culture, Too
We teach children that consent is sacred—so why are we failing to apply that lesson to public life?
No child consents to drag queen story hour.
No parent consents to leather harnesses on city floats.
No woman consents to being exposed to male sexuality in the ladies’ room, or in the school library, or anywhere she cannot opt out.
Consent is not just for sex. It’s for everything.
Attention. Language. Presence. Ideology. Imagery.
And we are done pretending we don’t notice when it’s violated.
The boundary is back.
And we are drawing it in bold.
@realDonaldTrump We need a clear description of what actually constitutes a religion in the United States.
A religion is a system of sincere personal beliefs and practices concerning the divine that involves worship and individual moral guidance. It does not include a political code that claims the right to supersede the Constitution and the laws of this country.
When a purported religion’s politics supersede ours, that system is not entitled to be characterized or protected as a religious entity here. Private prayer and personal practice are one thing. Demanding that its legal and political rules override American law is another. The Supreme Court already drew this line long ago: religious belief cannot stand above the law of the land or every citizen becomes a law unto himself and government exists only in name.
Islam presents this exact problem. Classical Islamic doctrine treats Sharia as supreme over man-made law, assigns unequal rights, rejects free speech on certain topics, and has been advanced by organized groups whose stated goal is to present it as a civilizational alternative. Treating that political project as ordinary religious free exercise gives it cover it does not deserve. Otherwise the system will continue to expand under the protection of the very Constitution it seeks to subordinate, and it will eventually destroy us.
Define the boundary. Protect actual private belief. Reject political systems that claim supremacy over the Constitution. The Constitution remains the supreme law of the land. Nothing else.
🚨BREAKING: Pastor Hills Emmanuel has been found dead in Plateau State, Nigeria.
He was abducted Friday with Pastor Gabriel Joseph Dipak while traveling from Jos to Bokkos. Gunmen set a roadblock on the Barkin Ladi–Bokkos road — witnesses said less than a mile from military checkpoints. They pulled the two pastors from a minivan carrying nine people.
Emmanuel’s body was found Saturday near the abduction site. He was a former Dunamis pastor and founder of The Wonderful Grace of God Evangelical Ministry in Bokkos.
Dipak was still in captivity as of Saturday. The abductors had contacted his family.
The same night, other attacks were reported across Plateau. At least four more people were killed in separate incidents in three local government areas.
Mainstream media and celebrities won't say a thing about this. Keep praying for the persecuted church!
Maybe this will help my liberal family/friends to better understand where I stand. Notice please that Pres Trump’s name does not appear in this at all. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Just to clear the air: I’m a Make America Great Again conservative, but that doesn’t mean what a lot of you apparently think it does. Let’s break it down, because I’m tired of being told what I believe and what I stand for.
Spoiler: not every conservative is the same, but most of us I know share these same principles:
1. I believe America should never depend on another country for energy, protection, or basic supply and demand. We are strongest when we build, produce, and protect things right here in the USA.
2. I believe America must put itself first. We cannot pour from an empty cup. Our country should prioritize our own people before trying to save the world.
3. I believe only legal citizens have the right to vote. You must have a valid ID to vote. I also believe in a secure election process.
4. I believe no foreign aid should be given until every veteran at home is taken care of.
5. I believe immigrants make America stronger — when they come legally. If your first act in this country is breaking the law, you aren’t an upstanding citizen.
6. You can marry who you want. I may agree or disagree with your lifestyle, but your life is not mine to judge, I leave that to God Almighty.
7. I believe men are men and women are women. Surgery or hormones don’t change that. Men should use men’s bathrooms, and women should use women’s bathrooms.
8. I believe schools are for education, not indoctrination. Kids should learn math, history, reading, and science - not political propaganda. They should not be taught they were “born in the wrong body” or pushed into gender delusion.
9. I believe America is in a mental health crisis. Mental health care is real, it matters, and it desperately needs to be addressed.
10. I believe guns aren’t the problem - people are. Gun control only infringes on constitutional rights. But I also believe in common sense: background checks are necessary to keep firearms out of the hands of the mentally ill.
I’m a conservative because I believe in faith, family, freedom, and personal responsibility. I don’t want a government that controls every aspect of our lives - I want a government that protects our rights, secures our borders, defends our freedoms, and then gets out of the way. We are strongest when Americans take care of America first, when families are supported, when our veterans are honored, and when our children are given truth, not propaganda. I love this country, and I believe it’s worth fighting for.
👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
