I asked VP JD Vance about the surge in at-home abortions due to mail-order abortion pills.
Under the Biden FDA, the abortion pill became accessible by mail, which has led to a surge in at-home abortions. The policy has not yet been reversed by the Trump administration. While the admin has scored some major pro-life wins, this is a big concern for many pro-life advocates.
We also discuss abortion abolitionism vs. incrementalism, and what really works.
Tucker Carlson:
“One of the reasons that I have a lot of trouble going to church is [because] all these Christian leaders are so flawed and so obviously fake. I can’t deal with it,” said Tucker. “It freaks me out.”
This is simultaneously something that tons of people agree with and also something that is wrong-minded.
Imagine how corrupt every single pastor has to be, pastors you’ve never met or heard of, for the above reasoning to be sound. It’s just high slander against countless men who have devoted their lives to the service of the body of Christ.
Moreover, when we isolate ourselves from accountability and a local church family we get weird, and not in the funny haha way.
@rittenhouse2a The greatest threats to America are internal corruption. Legalized abortion violence, pornography, adultery, sexual perversion, greed, racism. No external threats can even hold a candle to the corruption of our own people.

@poperespecter1@ryanburge I’ve noticed that converts to Catholicism tend to value history over scripture. While converts to Protestantism tend to value scripture over history.
I would say that what looks to you like importing philosophical assumptions is just importing standard definition of words. The word "will", for example, just means the ability to decide. That word is used thousands of times throughout the Bible because men have the ability to decide, which determinists deny. Also the word "choose" is something applied hundreds of times throughout the scriptures to human beings and that word means to make a choice between multiple things. Yet determinists deny that men can make choices between multiple things. So we provisionists just assume that words have meaning and the Bible uses those words with their defined meanings. When you don’t approach the Bible that way you can make it say or mean whatever you want.
Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;
My view is that the doctrine of inherited sinfulness is the ultimate victim mentality. And that is why it remains so popular despite overwhelming biblical evidence to the contrary. So many people think that the reason they are rotten is because they were born that way. Such a tragedy.
It’s true the term is not used frequently, because free will is mostly assumed throughout scripture and more of a modern term for the concept. But making the claim that it is used zero times is too easy to refute. At the very least you have to acknowledge the concept of freewill offerings in the OT, right?
@uav_guy_79@RevReads289 The universality of sin is probably the best argument in favor of inherited sinfulness. However it isn’t a biblical argument. The Bible only ever grounds sinfulness in the free acts of the sinner.
@Eschatology22 Maybe you could share the scriptures that describe the Whore of Babylon and the garments of the priests. That way everyone could see that what you're saying is oh so obviously true.
@D_Preacher_1 Do people believe 2+2=4 because they found evidence, or because they were taught to believe it as children?
Doesn't have to be either/or, does it? Children can be taught things that are true.
