@farmingandJesus@wordy_fiend Lizzie my son had to talk a friend out of suicide because he felt he was struggling so long in his sin, he obviously wasn’t chosen. He couldn’t “persevere” so felt he couldn’t go on. He is doing well now. Unfortunately this happens & is one example of how it can hurt.

DISGUSTING.
25 years later. Ground Zero. Families reading the names of the dead.
Cameras cut from a man sobbing over the memorial… to Mamdani and AOC grinning and laughing it up.
110,000 people signed a petition begging this mayor to stay home. He showed up anyway. Then he and AOC treated sacred ground like a cocktail hour.
You don’t laugh through the roll call of 2,977 murdered Americans.
You don’t giggle while widows weep.
You don’t turn September 11 into a DSA photo-op.
That wasn’t a “hello.” That was contempt.
New York deserves better than this.
America remembers. They clearly don’t.
We’ve never seen anything like this before. A man was conscripted into jury duty by the government. He performed his civic duty and followed his conscience, refusing to acquit a woman who confessed to systematically executing her three children. The defense attorney immediately launched a public smear campaign against the juror. Soon several other jurors joined the campaign. Then the media. Even the defense attorney’s wife has joined. Now they’re doxxing the man, digging into his past, contacting his family, showing up at his house. All of this both to punish him for refusing to go with their program, and to pollute any future jury pool by making it clear that anyone who votes to convict Clancy will have their life destroyed. It’s truly one of the most outrageously evil things we’ve ever seen from the Left, and that’s saying something. A direct assault on the integrity of our justice system. They are burning down every boundary and standard in their path. And doing it all for the sake of a child murdering psychopath. Unfathomable.
@CherylSchatz Heartbreaking. Children are so loved by God.
Matthew 19:14
But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”
Matt is not overreacting. He is naming something most people would rather dress up. A jury did not merely get the law wrong. A culture that no longer trembles at the death of a child walked into that room with them.
That is the fruit of a long catechism. For decades we have been told that the smallest lives are negotiable if an adult is inconvenienced. Abortion taught the lesson first: you can end a child and still speak the language of "empathy". Once that lie is normal, it is not hard to hear that three children were strangled and immediately start managing the mother’s feelings.
Scripture will not play along. “So God created man in his own image” (Genesis 1:27, ESV). That image does not shrink because someone is tired, sick, or overwhelmed. “Hands that shed innocent blood” are among the things the Lord hates (Proverbs 6:16–17, ESV). “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil” (Isaiah 5:20, ESV). J.I. Packer was right: a half-truth posing as the whole truth becomes a complete untruth. Saying she loved them while they lie dead is not compassion. It is a refusal to let love mean anything.
Feelings are not a law court. Mercy that will not tell the truth is not mercy. It is sentiment with the spine removed, and the people who pay for it are always the ones who cannot speak. God will judge harshly all those who failed to enact justice on behalf of those children.... I pray that the next jury is filled with men & women who have the courage to do what is right.... rather than what is most likely to give them clicks on their social media when the case is resolved. @StealthIntelOps@TheBrancaShow
These juror interviews are extraordinary. They are admitting openly that they disregarded the law entirely for the sake of letting Clancy off the hook. There’s no other way to read it.
One juror says she originally wanted to vote guilty but changed her mind so that “Lindsay could get the help she needs.” That is a clear violation of the law. They were supposed to make a determination solely about guilt or innocence. They were not there to make sure anyone “gets help.”
Another juror says she voted not guilty because the prosecution never produced “character witnesses” proving Clancy was a “bad mother.” The problem is that A) killing your children IS definitive evidence that you’re a bad mother, and B) the prosecution would not have been allowed to call those kinds of witnesses. A witness solely testifying that Clancy was a bad mother would have been purely prejudicial. So this juror acquitted because the prosecution failed to provide evidence that they weren’t allowed to provide and which would have been irrelevant anyway. Extraordinary. This same juror even admitted that it was a “fact” that Clancy “viciously killed her children.” The word vicious literally means “done maliciously and with intent.” So if that’s a fact then they were obligated to vote guilty. But they didn’t.
Meanwhile another juror swooned over the defense attorney’s “entertaining” demeanor. And another one said that all of the facts of the case — “everything,” her words — “proved” that Clancy “loved her children.” Apparently strangling your children to death, in this juror’s mind, does not at all call your love for them into question.
Just a collection of the most morally obtuse idiots ever assembled. Amazing.
Some say abortion is not murder because the child is unborn and the mother “isn’t ready.” Then a mother strangles her 5-year-old, 3-year-old, and 8-month-old and the conversation immediately shifts to postpartum psychosis and diminished responsibility. In both cases the child’s life is treated as contingent on the parent’s circumstances rather than as independently valuable.
According to Derek from Irresistible Truth, this atheist understands Calvinism's doctrine of salvation. Derek seems stunned!

Constance Fisher drowned her three children in a bathtub in 1954.
Mental hospital. Declared better. Released.
Husband stayed. They had three more kids.
She drowned those three too.
Same house. Same bathtub. Same excuse. Six dead children because a system treated a child killer like a patient who just needed time.
That is the whole argument. Not “was she sad.” Not “did she hear voices.” What happens after you let them out, and who pays for it the second time.
Lindsay Clancy strangled her three kids. People are already writing her a sympathy card and calling prison cruel. Cruel is three little bodies. Cruel is doing it once and getting a path back to freedom. Cruel is pretending history didn’t already run this experiment and lose six kids.
Mental illness can explain how someone gets there. It does not give you a free murder. It does not entitle you to more children. And it does not require the rest of us to wait around and see if the next round dies too.
If you kill your kids, you don’t get to be a mother again. You don’t get a soft landing and a second family. Life without parole. Lock the door. Stop experimenting on other people’s children and making excuses.
Convict her. Convict those who harm children. Period.
One of Calvinism’s primary methods of argument is to take biblical words out of their plain and ordinary meaning and quietly convert them into Calvinist terms of art to support their position.
Once these Calvinist definitions are imported, Calvinist conclusions unsurprisingly emerge. But that is not exegesis; it is a closed theological system interpreting every word through conclusions the system already assumes.
Examples (and this isn’t an exhaustive list):
• “Sovereignty” becomes exhaustive divine determinism.
• “Election” becomes God’s unconditional selection of particular individuals for salvation—and His exclusion of everyone else.
• “Foreknowledge” becomes foreordination or “fore-loving,” rather than God actually knowing beforehand.
• “Dead in sin” becomes the total inability to understand or respond to the gospel—as though spiritual separation meant the absence of rational and moral agency.
• “Draw” becomes irresistibly regenerate, even though Christ said He would draw “all people” to Himself.
• “Called” becomes “effectually called”—an inward summons that only the elect receive and cannot resist.
• “Made alive” becomes secretly regenerated before faith, although the text never states that sequence.
• “Gift” in Ephesians 2:8 becomes faith itself, rather than the entire salvation-by-grace-through-faith described in the passage.
• “Whoever believes” becomes whoever has first been irresistibly enabled to believe.
• “Faith” becomes a meritorious work if freely exercised, despite Paul expressly contrasting believing with working in Romans 4:5.
• “Grace” becomes irresistible causation rather than God’s unmerited provision genuinely offered and capable of being received or resisted.
• “Perseverance” becomes the future evidence that retroactively proves whether someone was ever truly saved—making present assurance perpetually dependent upon future performance.
The question is not whether these words appear in Scripture. They do. The question is whether Scripture itself gives them the specialized Calvinist meanings necessary to prove TULIP. It does not.
The correct interpretation of the passage (namely the word usage of ‘hated’) in Romans 9 is about:
A. Nations and not persons
B. Service and not salvation
C. Preference and not spite
🚨#BREAKING: A Minnesota mother, Bonnie Pierce, escaped her burning house only to realize her toddler was still inside…
...and she ran BACK into the flames.
Firefighters found her wrapped around her baby girl, shielding her with her own body. ❤️
Her daughter, SURVIVED, she saved her life.
Her name is Bonnie Pierce, she was 38, a mom from St. Paul, Minnesota.
On Saturday afternoon, a fire broke out in the duplex where she was home with two of her daughters.
One of the girls, Aurora, did something incredible to save herself.
She kicked an air conditioning unit clean out of a window and climbed through it to safety.
And Bonnie made it out too.
She was OUT. She was safe.
But her other little girl, Grace, still just a toddler, was somewhere back inside that burning building.
Her mother, Bonnie, didn't think twice.
She turned around and ran back into the fire.
When firefighters fought their way in, they found her.
She had wrapped her own body around her daughter, shielding that little girl from the flames and the smoke with everything she had left.
Protecting her baby to the very end.
Bonnie was found unresponsive, she'd been without oxygen for nearly 15 minutes.
She had burns over 48% of her body.
First responders and doctors fought for her with everything they had.
But on Monday, Bonnie passed away from her injuries.
Little Grace, the daughter she shielded with her own body… SURVIVED.
She's still in the hospital. But doctors say she is expected to make a FULL recovery.
That is a mother's love.
Her home is now covered in flowers and chalk writing from friends that say "HERO" everywhere.
Please keep Bonnie's family and both of her little girls in your prayers.
GOD BLESS Bonnie Pierce. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
