I had no clue about this. I checked my phone following her instructions and she’s right!! I cleared the history and turned off the setting.

Unpopular Pastoral Opinion #22

Most American evangelicals are more influenced in theology and practice by Charles Finney or the Charismatic movement than they even know.

And a simple study of church history would devastate so much of it.

@Villgecrazylady @EthanFowler32 This is fantastic. Do you have the article links for Parts 1 and 2?

That time when Dr. Strange described his conversation with Dr. Sinclair Ferguson that changed his tune on covenantal infant baptism. Take a listen!

In the 1860s, cottonseed oil was classified as toxic waste.

This is not hyperbole. Cottonseed oil, the oil pressed from the seeds of the cotton plant, was a byproduct of the American textile industry. The cotton was processed for fibre. The seeds were left over, in enormous quantities, and the oil they contained was considered a useless and mildly poisonous industrial residue.

It was bitter. It contained gossypol, a natural toxin that had been used experimentally as a male contraceptive. It was unfit for human consumption in its raw form. It was used to lubricate machinery and fuel lamps until petroleum displaced it even from those applications.

Procter & Gamble, in the 1870s, had been experimenting with vegetable oils in their soap manufacturing. The cottonseed surplus was cheap. They found a use for it.

In 1907, they acquired the rights to a German chemical process called hydrogenation: the forcing of hydrogen into liquid oil under heat and pressure, with a metal catalyst, to produce a solid fat. The initial aim was better soap. The result looked like lard.

That was the commercial insight.

They patented it as a food product. They named it Crisco: short for "crystallised cottonseed oil." They launched it in 1911 with a marketing campaign of considerable ingenuity, positioning it not merely as a cooking fat but as a modern, scientific, pure alternative to lard and butter. Pure because it was plant-derived. Scientific because it was chemically processed, which in 1911 still read as innovative rather than alarming.

They published a cookbook, The Story of Crisco, and distributed it to American households. Sales were 2.6 million pounds in 1912. By 1916, Americans were buying 60 million pounds annually.

A waste product had become a pantry staple.

By 1948, the American Heart Association was a small, financially struggling organisation. In 1948, it received a substantial donation, approximately $1.7 million, equivalent to roughly $20 million today, that transformed it into the most powerful cardiovascular health body in the country.

The source of that transformation was Procter & Gamble. The AHA, newly resourced and national in ambition, became the institutional voice for dietary guidance on heart disease.

In 1961, they issued their first formal dietary recommendation: replace saturated animal fats with polyunsaturated vegetable oils.

The makers of Crisco now had the American Heart Association recommending their product category as heart-healthy.

Ancel Keys, whose cherry-picked fat hypothesis had been looking for institutional credibility, joined the AHA nutrition committee the same year.

The dietary guidelines that followed: the guidelines that are still, in their essential conclusion, the guidelines of today, were developed in an environment in which the world's largest vegetable oil producer had seeded the most influential heart health body with $20 million.

Nobody mentioned the conflict of interest.
Nobody mentions it now.

The toxic waste is still in your kitchen.

It's called vegetable oil.

The heart on the label was paid for.

[Jeremiah Knight @iamrjknight]

Most modern Christians read the Bible through the lens of dispensationalism without even realizing it. Yet for nearly eighteen centuries the church did not read Scripture that way.

The idea that God has two separate peoples with two separate plans, one for Israel and another for the church, is not taught in Scripture. The apostles spoke of one people of God united in Christ. Paul writes, “He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall” (Ephesians 2:14). In Christ, believing Jews and believing Gentiles are not two programs. They are one body.

The New Testament goes even further. Those who belong to Christ are called the true seed of Abraham. “If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s descendants, heirs according to promise” (Galatians 3:29). The promise is fulfilled not through ethnic lineage but through union with the Messiah.

This is why the apostles never preached a return to temple sacrifices, never spoke of two parallel covenant peoples, and never told the church to wait for God to restart a separate plan with Israel. Instead they preached that the promises of God find their fulfilment in Christ. “For as many as are the promises of God, in Him they are yes” (2 Corinthians 1:20).

That raises an uncomfortable question for modern theology.

If the apostles taught one people of God in Christ, why do so many Christians today divide what the gospel has united?

@ShannonJoyRadio @grok, what church did this take place at?

[Lisé Brown @lisedbrown]

It’s a religion.

This is an amazing video, and it basically just confirms every suspicion I had about how little politically-active left-wingers think things through. It’s zero. It really is just, “I have to be rabidly adherent to what I’m told or I’m not a good person.”

@kacdnp91 @POTUS Reminds me what Rockefeller did early on by calling everything he disagreed with quackery and pushing out everything natural, herbal and holistic to end up where Big Med/Big pHarma is today.

[Lisé Brown @lisedbrown]

@lagracelaverite Just like he did with Federal Vision.

1/ 🚨 Ever wonder how a "pandemic response" worth hundreds of billions appeared fully formed in 2020 — with the vaccines, the surveillance, the financing, the governance all ready to go?

Buried in the Epstein files is a 14-page JPMorgan collaborative proposal with the Gates Foundation called PROJECT MOLECULE.

‼️It proposed a permanent, privately governed, transnational vehicle — linking the Gates Foundation, offshore entities, billionaire committees, and $150 million in biological interventions: vaccines, surveillance networks, and disease eradication campaigns across sovereign nations.

Not leaked. Disclosed under federal legal process. Three sets of Bates stamps.

In Part I, I showed you the emails — Epstein coaching JPMorgan and Gates on the design. Today I'll show you what those emails produced.

Here's what they built — and who was at the table. 🧵👇

[Sayer Ji @sayerjigmi]

1/🚨 The DOJ just released thousands of pages of Epstein files.

And buried inside them may be one of the biggest bombshells no one is talking about:

The blueprint for a 20-year financial architecture designed to turn pandemics into a profit center.

Offshore vaccine funds. Pandemic reinsurance triggers. Donor-advised fund structures designed to profit under the cover of charity. Simulation programs. Career pipelines into pharma and the World Economic Forum.

All built years before COVID-19. All running through Gates, JPMorgan, and Epstein.

We now have the documents. 🧵👇
