@HansFiene@CryptoRaines@BowTiedRanger Do you think they know that they could shut us all up by rolling out the tablets? We would never be able to criticize them again.
0 F = extremely cold
100 F = extremely hot
0 C = kinda chilly
100 C = you're dead
Conclusion: centigrade is a scale created by complete morons

When I was Muslim, I would argue & say we had the same prophets as Christians.
But this one broke me:
Surah 17:101: Allah gave Moses 9 clear signs.
I knew the list. The staff. The shining hand. The drought. The flood. The locusts. The lice. The frogs. The blood.
I held onto those 9 signs like proof I had the real story.
But bro, you know what shook me?
There’s a night missing.
After all nine signs, right before Israel walks out of Egypt, something happens that the Quran goes completely silent on.
A lamb is slaughtered.
Its blood painted on the doorposts.
And death passes over every house covered by that blood.
The Passover.
I grew up hearing the whole Exodus story. But nobody ever told me about the blood on the door.
Islam just skips it.
And here’s what wrecked me.
The Bible, the book I was taught was corrupted, mentions the Passover over 70 times.
Exodus. Leviticus. Numbers. Deuteronomy. The Psalms. The Prophets. The Gospels. Paul.
70 times.
So I had to ask myself the honest question:
If men corrupted this book, why would they obsess over the same story for 1500 years? Across dozens of authors who never met?
You don’t forge a document 70 times.
That’s just not corruption.
That to me is preservation.
And then I read the line that finished me off.
1 Corinthians 5:7.
“Christ our Passover lamb has been sacrificed.”
That’s when it hit me.
The whole story was never just about Moses.
It was always pointing to a King.
The final lamb. Whose blood, when applied to your life, makes death pass over you.
Forever.
The Quran gave me 9 signs but hid the one night that explains why any of them happened.
Because the moment a Muslim understands the Passover…
he’s one step away from the cross.
When a fellow Christian chastises you for being “too political,” ask them if they like CS Lewis.
When they say “Of course,” ask them if they’ve read Screwtape Letters.
When they say “Of course,” ask them if they liked it.
When they say “Of course,” read them this:
“Certainly we do not want men to allow their Christianity to flow over into their political life.” -Screwtape
Then gently suggest they stop thinking and talking like a demon does.
**Caveat…no, we don’t worship politics.
**Caveat…yes, we put our hope in Jesus.
**Caveat…no, I’m not calling Christian’s demonic.
**Caveat…yes, Christian’s can be influenced by the demonic.

Now, who is the biggest threat to the world, again?
Did you notice that De Niro did not critique specific policies of @realDonaldTrump? In The Parasitic Mind, I explained how the left hates Trump because they view him as being injurious to their aesthetic sense. They invoke their affective system to demonize him rather than fairly judge him using their cognitive system.
@jr_billys@kemba2tatum@farmingandJesus@TimMcGovern18 It is in this spirit that my pastor says we do not take lightly any baptism in the threefold name. But you cannot deny that extrapolating “whole family” into baptize babies is a stretch.
