Politics are important, but listen to me: Politics cannot fix what politics did not break.
And Mankind was broken long before any political system.
Only a return to Jesus Christ who can reach inside the chests of men and give them new and living hearts of love, worship, and humility can save any person, any family, and any society.
Christ is the only way out of the chaos.
@DallasGoebel Cool 👍 Just wanted to provide context on how your OP comes across. Feels like a "gotcha" for engagement purposes rather than genuinely wanting to honor God's word through healthy debate. Hard to tell what your real goal is here... Either way, have a good one!
@DallasGoebel@Dauphin_Ray I can understand where both are coming from. On one hand it's nice to see two Pastors respectfully debating anything scripture wise. On the other hand it's an odd bone to pick almost a month after the OP from Pastor Josh and calling it **shocking** is honestly an exaggeration.
@chasegassaway@howertonjosh The reality of socialism doesn't help the needy and doesn't promote charity... You're deflecting from your original point because you know saying he was using false dilemma fallacy was a reach. You were wrong and that's okay. I've said all I have to say on it. Jesus loves you.
@chasegassaway@howertonjosh You are wrong. The original definition of false dilemma fallacy you posted implies he was "presenting two extremes". He didn't do that. He stated why socialism is not biblically founded and how the biblically founded roles of the individual and the state support that.
@howertonjosh@chasegassaway Wholeheartedly agree Pastor Josh! I realize the first part of my quote makes it sound like you didn't state socialism is wrong 😅 Was just highlighting the second part that you didn't state it was wrong AND say you must believe another option.
@chasegassaway@howertonjosh No that's not my conclusion. Clearly Josh believes socialism is wrong (because it is). My conclusion is that you're wrong in stating Josh is using False Dilemma Fallacy. Please show me in his tweet where he presented another "system" as a choice.
@chasegassaway@howertonjosh That's not even close to what Josh is doing here... He's simply refuting the notion that "Christianity is socialism at its core" and stating why that's just biblically not true. He never once said "socialism is wrong, you must believe this other option I present to you."
@TruthSerum2016@conservmillen Why does the proclamation that Jesus Christ is king of kings and our Savior make you so angry? If it was just a little ridiculous fantasy you'd think one wouldn't be so invested in it... Sorry whatever church you supposedly visited for 61 consecutive years hurt you...
Good Friday reminds us of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice. May this day further deepen the values of harmony, compassion and forgiveness. May brotherhood and hope guide us all.
I really don’t like hearing non-Christians talk about Easter as if it’s some abstract allegory. It’d be better not to talk about it at all.
Good Friday isn’t about sacrifice. It’s about Jesus’s sacrifice. God-made-flesh shed his blood on the cross for our sins, so that by grace through faith we could be forgiven and reconciled to God.
Acts 4:12: “And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
@zechtherat@mavsmarie It's actually insane how much they spoke and yet said nothing at all 😂 I love how they focused on his paper straw comment (which was clearly a joke) and didn't address the beastiality and incest portion because they know they can't refute it. Also what is concential?
You’re right. Christianity brainwashed me.
Now I want to spend the rest of my life loving one woman, building a faithful marriage, raising a strong and beautiful family, praying for people who hate me, forgiving when it’s hard, staying far away from gossip and bitterness, and finding my peace in Jesus.
If that’s brainwashing, I’m grateful for it.
I assure you that’s not the reason faithful pastors are against the…
- “God is non-binary”
- “all religions are equally valid”
- “the Bible never say anything about abortion”
- “God is pro-choice”
- “we should put abortion clinics in every public park and courthouse”
- “The Bible never says anything about consensual homosexual relationships”
- “Jesus was a hardcore feminist”
- “we should imagine a world without prisons… bc prison is violence”
- “trans children are perfect and there’s nothing wrong with them”
- “there are six genders”
… guy.
