@EnesFreedom@WNBA Please wait another year or whatever for the new Detroit WNBA team. Detroit - Motor City Nuts and Bolts. I'd love for you to join the Motor City Nuts and Bolts. ๐
I'm reminded of Bethany Hamilton, the epic surfer who lost her left arm when she was attacked by a shark at just 13.

Rip Curl dumped her because she dared to stand up for women, publicly opposing the World Surf League's policy of letting man in dresses to compete in the women's division.
Think about that for a second.
They threw away one of the most inspirational athletes on the planet to appease gender ideology.
They could have had a genuine sporting icon representing their brand. Instead, they chose men in dresses.
I hope corporations are finally waking up to the fact that people are sick of this trans nonsense and, more importantly, that we're prepared to vote with our wallets.
Homophobic. Misogynist. Bigot.
Iโve been called those namesโand much worseโover the years. So have many other Christians, like others at @AiG, who stand on the authority of Godโs Word in regard to gender, marriage, the sanctity of life, and so on.
How should Christians address the criticism that theyโre hate-filled bigots?
Well, it starts with understanding worldview. Most secularists (wrongly) think they donโt have a worldview, and they think what they believe comes from just looking at evidence.
Many secularists misinterpret a Christianโs disagreement with their worldview as the Christian being intolerant of them personally, instead of understanding thereโs a clash of worldviews because of the difference foundationally and where those worldviews come from.
For a Christian, the Bible makes it clear that one is either for or against Christ (Matthew 12:30) and that one walks either in light or in darkness (Matthew 6:22โ23). As we read in Matthew 7:24โ27, one builds a house either on the rock or on sand.
Iโve found that the best way to explain all this is to use the analogy of building a house. A carpenter doesnโt start with the roof, then the walls, and then the foundation. No, he builds the foundation first, then the walls and roof. And he has to have the right type of foundation fit for that building.
A worldview is like the walls and the roof of a house, but every worldview has a foundation. And ultimately, there are only two foundations. One starts with the Word of the One who knows everything and who has revealed to us all we need to know to build the correct worldview. The other one starts with the foundation that fallible man determines truth.
The Bible claims to be (and I know it to be) the revealed Word of God who knows everything. For Christians, this is the only foundation upon which they can build a truly Christian worldview. Thus, founded in Godโs Word beginning in Genesis, marriage is one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24); there are two genders, male and female (Genesis 1:27); abortion is murder because man is made in Godโs image (Genesis 1:27), and murder is wrong (Genesis 9:6).
Itโs important to explain to a secularist why we as Christians believe the way we do about these issues. We need to explain that our thinking comes from the Bible.
Matthew 28:6 ESV
[6] He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.
Thank you Jesus. I did not deserve your sacrifice for me a sinner. Your grace is above anything that can be imagined. All glory to the Lord!
Happy Easter
Sometimes out of the blue you look and find something said about you and you want to talk about it but your blocked. I'll just leave this here in case something changes. All glory to God in everything!!!
@Battlefield Your doing everything you can to make closed weapons not work. You can never get into a game. Most normal people will not pick that. They think it's a bad thing or something with the word closed.
Get better Battlefield
Those who start with an evolutionary view of mankind have no absolute basis for morality.
And because they have no foundation, they are forced to construct a moral code that is โright in his own eyesโ (Judges 21:25). This leads to all kinds of inconsistencies.
Evolutionists arbitrarily create or hold to a moral code for humans . . . yet they believe we are just animals. So why should we be held to this arbitrary standard that no โotherโ animal is held to?
After all, no one blames a lion for ripping apart a gazelle, a hyena for trying to steal the carcass, or microbes for finishing off the gazelleโs remains. But somehow humans are arbitrarily viewed as different despite the insistence that we arenโt different.
And itโs because they know humans are different because theyโre made in Godโs image.
