Maybe not a coincidence that as I prepare for a debate this evening in which I’ll, by the grace of God, contend for the gospel and Biblical truth, there are people throwing legitimate hissy fits on X over me saying obvious truths — that Jesus is the fulfillment of Jewish prophecy and is the only mode of salvation for everyone. Satan do be Sataning!
For everyone else, will you please pray for me? For clarity, courage, soundness of mind, and that God would be glorified in my words.
This will be similar to my Jubilee debate, but a different format, and hopefully it will have a similar impact 🙏🏼
Thank you!!
@conservmillen We can’t wait to see you all! Prayers for the strength of Lord that resides in you through His Holy Spirit.
Isaiah 40:31: "Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary."
This choked me up.
This is what the left calls “hate speech.”
Thank you God for giving us time with Charlie Kirk. For using him to bring us to you.
We miss you Charlie.
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy Name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
-------------------
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen
Christ Is King!
Jesus died at 33. The human spine has 33 vertebrae. The same structure that holds us up is the same number of years He held this Earth.
We have 12 ribs on each side. 12 disciples. 12 tribes of Israel. God built His design into our bones. He wrote Heaven into our anatomy.
The vagus nerve runs from your brain to your heart and gut. It calms storms inside the body. It looks just like a cross. That’s the power source running through us. Every time your body heals, every time your heart slows in prayer, every time peace shows up when it shouldn’t…that’s Him.
Jesus rose on the third day. Science tells us that when you fast for 3 days, your body starts regenerating. Old cells die. New ones are born. Healing begins. Your body literally resurrects itself. That’s not coincidence. That’s design.
And it keeps going.
Your heart has an electrical rhythm. Your brain lights up when you pray. Tears contain different chemicals depending on if you're crying from joy or grief. The blood speaks. The bones store memory. The body worships whether you realize it or not.
We are fearfully and wonderfully made. We are walking prophecy. Walking tabernacles. Dust and divinity in one.
God didn’t just create you. He carved Himself into you.
You don’t need to look far to find Him. You just need to look inward. He’s been in the design since the beginning.
You know what Muslims, Mormons, and Jews say to me constantly?
“You don't follow Jesus. You follow Paul.”
Bro... you don't understand how Christianity works.
You do NOT need Paul to believe Jesus is the Messiah.
If Paul disappeared tomorrow, Christianity would still stand.
Why?
Because the Torah and the prophets already did the heavy lifting.
Genesis: sin enters the world.
Exodus and Leviticus: blood, atonement, and substitution.
Passover: the spotless lamb.
Isaiah: the suffering servant.
Daniel: the Messiah.
That's not Paul.
That's Moses, David, Isaiah, Daniel, and the entire prophetic story.
Paul didn't invent Jesus.
Paul looked at the Scriptures and realized:
This was ALWAYS about Him.
And Paul wasn't some random guy making up theology.
He was a Pharisee trained in the law.
So when he preached, what did he quote?
The Old Testament.
Over.
And over.
And over.
His argument was simple:
If the Scriptures are true, Jesus Christ is unavoidable.
So saying Christians follow Paul instead of Jesus is like saying you follow the referee instead of the rulebook.
Paul isn't the point.
He's pointing you to the point.
Don't like Paul?
Fine.
Read Isaiah 53 without him.
Read Psalm 22 without him.
Read Daniel 9 without him.
You'll still end up staring directly at Jesus.
Christianity isn't built on Paul.
It's built on the Messiah the Scriptures were already pointing to.
And once I finally read Paul charitably...
Bro.
The man was an absolute SAVAGE for the faith.
Follow this account for more Christian apologetics, Muslim evangelism, and the biblical truth that led me from Islam to Jesus.
They Boiled John in oil.
Stoned Philip to death.
They skinned Matthew alive.
Crucified Peter upside down.
Hung Luke from an olive tree.
Beheaded James with a sword.
None of the apostles died for a lie, They died because they saw the risen Christ.
2 Kings 25:9 says Nebuchadnezzar *BURNED* the first temple
2,600 years later archaeologists discover *BURNED* wooden beams exactly where that temple stood and exactly from that era.
The Bible REALLY happened, y’all.
The real Jesus died on a real cross for the real you, and if you give Hin your life He can REALLY change it forever.
Come to Jesus @PatMcAfeeShow He’s waiting for you with open arms!
“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.” Luke 15:20
Most people in the comments missing the point here: Luther didn’t remove books from the Bible and Trent didn’t add them. Before Trent and its addition of the anathema clause it was always an open conversation. The 66 is what everyone agreed upon, the question was about the apocrypha (a term not invented by but clarified on by Athanasius in his 39th Festal Letter in AD 367 to describe the other books of the OT outside of the 39). If the 73 canon was, as many in the comments to my OP want to reductionistically claim, a settled issue going back centuries then you wouldn’t have the Jeromes, Athasiuses, Cyrils, Gregory the Greats, Ximenes, and Cajetans of the world all openly discussing and disagreeing with various Deuterocanonicals and their inclusion vs. exclusions as inspired canon. These aren’t randoms, they’re Saints, Bishops, Popes, Cardinals, and Doctors of the Church.
I think a lot of people would be surprised to hear how close the vote on their inclusion in an official list attached to an anathema was at Trent. At the Council of Trent, considerable debate took place on whether a distinction should be made between two classes of books (canonical and apocryphal) or whether three classes should be identified (Acknowledged Books; the Disputed Books of the New Testament, later generally received; and the Apocrypha of the Old Testament). Finally on 8 April 1546, by a vote of 24 to 15, with 16 abstensions, the Council issued a decree (De Canonicis Scripturis) in which, for the first time in the history of the Church, the question of the contents of the Bible was made an absolute article of faith and confirmed by an anathema.
A Nigerian Christian gives his testimony after the Islamist massacre of his village:
“All the houses were set on fire and all our grain was burned. This morning we buried 29 people". Why is no one protesting for them?”
