There are only 12 reasons your business isn’t growing:
1. your pricing is off
2. you’re serving the wrong customer
3. you're solving the wrong problem
4. you offer too many things at once
5. your profit margins are too thin
6. you’re the only person who can sell
7. you don’t trust your team to make decisions alone
8. your ideal clients don’t know you exist yet
9. you don’t have written processes or SOPs
10. you talk yourself out of problems instead of fixing them
11. you want lifestyle, scale, and an exit all at once
12. your business became your identity
Every business is constrained by two of these at a time.
@ThoughtfulSaint Was chased with a lead pipe. Was pushed down a set of stairs. Had my apartment ransacked. Was arrested multiple times. (This was in Russia).
@oberg_o83356@Cernovich The nature of Christ and the Trinity aren't separate issues. Nicaea debated Christ's relationship to the Father, and Constantinople addressed the Holy Spirit. Those councils helped define what became orthodox Trinitarian doctrine.
@NielL92840577@Cernovich We could go back and forth all day about this. I have a lot of respect for the Catholic church and all the good they have done.
@NielL92840577@Cernovich The real question is: where is the evidence that anyone after the apostles exercised the same prophetic authority as Peter, John, or Paul—not merely that they believed they inherited it?
@NielL92840577@Cernovich The Church Fathers may have been sincere and preserved much truth, but being disciples of the apostles is not the same thing as being apostles. The question is not whether they were good men, but whether Christ's authority and ongoing revelation remained with them
@NielL92840577@Cernovich We wouldn't claim there was an immediate collapse the day the last apostle died. The LDS claim is that the apostles repeatedly warned of a coming apostasy and that after their deaths the Church no longer had the same apostolic authority and revelatory leadership.
@NielL92840577@Cernovich Our church believes that though the authority was given to Peter, that the line of authority was lost after the original apostles were all killed. We believe that an apostacy took place and therefore a restoration of the church was needed - which came thru Joseph Smith.
@BroMichael87@UtahSandersTwo@Cernovich Muslims respect Jesus as a prophet but reject His divinity, atonement, and role as Savior. Latter-day Saints affirm all of those. So the better question is: Who gets to define Christianity—Jesus and the New Testament, or later creeds and theological traditions?
@BroMichael87@UtahSandersTwo@Cernovich No, they're obviously not the same. Catholics, Orthodox, Protestants, and Latter-day Saints all differ significantly. The question isn't whether they're the same, but whether "Christian" requires complete doctrinal agreement or simply faith in and discipleship to Jesus Christ.
