@_notnotmitchell@TheKevinDalton What about the players that just didn’t wear the rainbow? They didn’t deface anything and yet they’re being criticized too. And the opinion writer also claimed that these players hijacked the event for themselves. Do you agree with that statement? If so justify it.
@EWErickson I think Trump is so obsessed with winning a Nobel peace prize, that he has sold out his own country. I think winning that prize is his real goal.
When I was Muslim, I used to ask Christians:
“If Jesus was really God, why did He eat, sleep, and bleed like us?”
And honestly, I used to ask it with pride like it was some unbeatable argument.
But later I realized something:
That question was not exposing Christianity.
It was exposing my misunderstanding of what kind of God Jesus claimed to be.
Because the real question is not:
“Why would God become weak?”
The real question is:
“What kind of God would willingly step into human suffering at all?”
Islam taught me about a God who was distant and untouchable.
But Christianity introduced me to a God who stepped into hunger, exhaustion, grief, pain, betrayal, blood, and suffering with us.
And suddenly His humanity stopped feeling like weakness to me.
It became proof of love.
If Jesus ate, it means He came close enough to experience hunger beside us.
If He slept, it means He embraced the exhaustion we carry.
If He bled, it means He did not stand above suffering watching us from a distance.
He entered it Himself.
Philippians 2 says Christ emptied Himself and took on flesh.
Not because He stopped being God, but because He wanted humanity to finally see what God is actually like.
And it turns out God is willing to suffer for the people He loves.
That changed everything for me.
Because every other religion demanded sacrifice from humanity.
Jesus became the sacrifice Himself.
And no prophet in history ever claimed that.
@staleyexpress I wish protestants to realize that God has communicated with us since the gospel were written. One of those ways he communicated with us was through herself.She appeared as our lady of Fatima.She identified herself as the Lady of the Rosary and taught us how to pray the rosary.

@PsalmuelPerez@BilltheCatGuy1@Sacramentshow Demonic appearances don’t result in the conversion of millions people to Christianity (Lady of Guadalupe) cure of hundreds (Lady of Lourdes) or a powerful miracle that that appeared to make the sun dance,was witnessed by 1000’s and documented in the local paper (Lady of Fatima)
@Alex_muzzo@bonchieredstate What person would answer, “oh yes, I was committing fraud” on camera? CNN did no investigation to check out the story. If they had, they might have uncovered the truth and gained some credibility, assuming they wouldn’t bury the story.
@BilltheCatGuy1@Sacramentshow Mary has made numerous appearances that prove her worthiness of honor. I challenge you to study the details of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Our Lady of Fatima and Our Lady of Lourdes before criticizing further
Catholic’s honoring of Mary.
@ChristCert God sent Mary as a messenger many times since the https://t.co/IwvKPARJwA 1859 Our Lady of Lourdes identified herself “Immaculate conception.”In 1858 she appeared as Our Lady of Good Hope and declared herself the Queen of Heaven. Miracles seen by many came with her appearances.
