The same people wailing uncontrollably about @JacintaAllanMP being called a "witch" on a billboard, have spent years calling @PaulineHansonOz, several female @LiberalAus MPs, and other commentators, "witches" and much worse.
If they weren't hypocrites, they'd be nothing at all.
What sexist campaign? 🤷♂️
Rich coming from this guy.
When Albo and Allan have devalued, dehumanised and essentially erased women, they have no credibility to complain about “sexism” especially when it wasn’t even present.
Hypocritical. Misogynistic. Pathetic.
Anthony Albanese warned he did not want “a tragedy” as he slammed a “sexist” campaign targeting Victoria Premier Jacinta Allan. Full story: https://t.co/k6fh7CTtgg
If you're confused about the Christian vs. Mormon vs. Jehovah's Witness Debate sparked by Mike Lee & Co, here's a brief rundown of why this issue matters to Christians.
Back in 325 AD, our early Christian fathers sat down to establish a basic outline of our faith's tenets. At that time, quite a few oddball ideas had arisen which were contrary to the teachings of Jesus.
They composed the Nicene Creed. You can think of it kind of like the Christian Declaration of Independence. It's essentially a "this-is-who-we-are-and-what-we-believe-in-a-nutshell" kind of document.
In particular, the Nicene Creed documents the traditional Christian understanding of the Trinity; the idea that God is One God in three persons; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are one God, the same in substance, equal in power and glory, and all three have eternally existed since before the creation of the universe.
And this isn't just a weird idea some ancient theologians made up in 325 AD. We get it straight from Jesus.
For example, in Matthew 28:19, Jesus tells the apostles to baptize new believers "in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." Pretty clear, right?
When Jesus himself is baptized in Matthew 3:13-17, the Holy Spirit descends on him like a dove, and the voice of the Father says, "This is my beloved Son."
In John 10:30 & 38, Jesus says, "I and the Father are one ... know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.”
In John 8:58, Jesus claimed to be eternal, saying, "before Abraham was, I am.” When he said that, some Jews who heard him picked up stones to kill him, because they fully understood that Jesus was claiming to be our eternal God, without beginning or end. He was very, very clear.
This is why Christians believe that Jesus is fully God; that he has always existed, just as the Father and the Spirit have existed. He became human (while remaining fully God) when he was born of Mary, but he was not created by God or a new being or a new aspect of God.
In Revelation 1:8 Jesus says, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” In 22:13 he reiterates, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end."
In Colossians 1:16, Paul confirms that Jesus was present with the Father when the universe was created, saying, "For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible ... all things were created through him and for him."
And these examples are just off the top of my head.
The term "Holy Spirit" is mentioned over 100 times in the New Testament alone. The first mention in the Bible is clear back in Genesis 1 which tells us "The Spirit of God was hovering above the waters."
So, the Trinity isn't some quirky idea someone pulled out of a hat. It's ingrained throughout Scripture. It is how God describes himself, and how he wants us to understand him.
Obviously, the idea of God being One God yet three persons who are equal in power, holiness, and glory is hard for us humans to wrap our heads around. Nobody entirely understands how the Trinity works, we just know that this is how God has explained himself to us.
But, if God were easy for people to understand, that would probably be a big red flag that he wasn't really God, wouldn't it? We humans can't understand God anymore than an ant can understand Einstein. He's so high above us, we cannot comprehend him. Nevertheless, we have to honor and adhere to how he's described himself and what he's told us about him.
There are many doctrines in the Bible that are tertiary (lesser issues / up for debate). For example, Baptism. A Reformed Presbyterian will think we should baptize new believers as well as babies. A Baptist will think we should only baptize new believers and children once they're old enough to articulate their faith. And of course, some Christians prefer full-body dunking, while others think a simple anointing is adequate.
Yet both Baptists and Presbyterians can worship together, and consider each other to be Christians. That's because, while we disagree on some side issues, we agree on the major foundational pillars of our faith. And the Trinity is one of those pillars.
If you don't believe that Jesus "was and is and is to come," then you don't believe that Jesus is who he said he is. If Jesus is not our eternal God, then he cannot forgive for your sins, Christianity is pointless, and all of humanity is lost.
So, the eternal deity of Jesus is a foundational, pivotal, incremental doctrine of the Christian faith, and without it, Christianity does not exist.

@Markyles Wait until you hear how leaders from Labor & Greens refer to Hanson, and other conservative women.
Or when you hear how the Victorian government has trampled all over women’s rights and safety, dehumanising and devaluing women.
But you probably don’t care about that.
Why do the Left always try to claim to be the victims, when they are the perpetrators?
Allan and friends crying “sexism” where there wasn’t any, while they enact grossly misogynistic policies that harm women across the country.
Throw. Them. All. Out.
Dear @AlboMP and @JacintaAllanMP
We have today launched an education campaign. It seems you’ve attempted to engage in gender wars, claiming sexism and misogyny where none existed.
Your degenerate party cannot even define a woman. It seems you’ve attempted struggle with words.
Fascinating watching the Australian Left publicly & boldly admit that they are misogynistic hypocrites with double standards (or no standards at all).
Criticising Allan is not attacking "all women in leadership." It is criticising this one particular leader, who just happens to be a women, (not that she knows what a woman is), not because she is a woman.
Shills like Ash are just trying to deflect attention from the real issue
Jacinta Allan and Julia Gillard are not calling out "ditch the witch" due to their personal fragility, but to lobby and support all women in leadership.
Hanson and her cohort call them weak.
What's weak is their brain compacity to understand leadership for others.
Meanwhile let's cut to montage of Pauline in tears, kicking journos out of press conferences, and telling journos to shut up for basic questions.
I know who is weak, its not Jacinta Allan.
@AshPolitik But the criticism isn't of all women, it's only of Allan and Gillard, who have both trampled all over women's rights and safety, and told them that they are not worth protecting.
What's weak is your misogyny and dishonesty,
The attempt to protect Victorian Premier Jacinta Allen by crying sExisM is 100% going to backfire spectacularly, and the fact Anthony Albanese and others cannot see that re-enforces the tone-deaf narrative.
The public have moved on from this kind of cynical baiting.
This is one of the most impactful speeches delivered by the Pope.
He just received a 7-minute standing ovation for affirming the dignity of human life, from the moment of conception to natural death, in front of the Spanish Parliament
"The defense of human life is neither a partisan issue nor a confessional interest: it is a goal of civilization."
"Can a community that casts into the shadows the unborn child, the elderly, the sick, those who suffer in silence, or those who depend entirely on the care of others be called fully just?"
Watch.
@angijones And calling the police on this, when the police should be dealing with the increasing crime, (but strangely often busy on completely irrelevant - and non-criminal - issues), is peak Victoria...
