@Apologetics941 What’s funny is that you’re saying Mormons are gate keeping that belief and your picture is from the book used to teach people the religion so it’s actually exactly what is being taught everyone that joins…
In light of the Big Ten rigging the game for Michigan with the extra second even though 60 minutes had been played, they also did this, which should have also (basically) ended any chance Michigan had
You say you post this out of love, but you chose a grieving family’s rawest moment to publish your theological indictment of the man they just lost. Love that expresses itself by using a man’s death as an occasion to broadcast that he died deceived is not love in any form Christ would recognize. Something deep down in your heart needs everything to be about you. I have a feeling this is a character flaw those close to you have brought up before.
Paul wrote what love actually looks like: it “suffereth long, and is kind… seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked” and “doth not behave itself unseemly” (1 Corinthians 13:4–5). Standing over a fresh grave to remind everyone why YOU are “more determined” in YOUR opposition is the definition of behaving unseemly.
Jesus’ sharpest words for self-proclaimed religious experts who were confident they alone held the truth and saw others the way you see this man (Luke 18:9–14). “Judge not, that ye be not judged” (Matthew 7:1) came from the same mouth you’re quoting. So did “by their fruits ye shall know them” (Matthew 7:16) — and the fruit of your post are hurting friends and family made to feel their loved one is a cautionary tale only you are courageous enough to tell.
You frame silence as the real cruelty. You do not know the Bible. There is a time for everything, including “a time to keep silence” (Ecclesiastes 3:7). Job’s friends did their real damage not just by being wrong about theology, but by lecturing a suffering man about doctrine. “To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his friend” (Job 6:14). Like them, you have knowledge without wisdom.
Have there been times your life, pastor, in which your wife or your children have not responded well when you cared “too much” to stay quiet? Take time to reflect on their unspoken pain. Paul teaches that the loving thing is to actually be quiet — to mourn with those that mourn (Romans 12:15), not to preach at them before they’ve chosen a casket.
@EliseMic19598@Doug_Thonus Every good player has no-trade clauses now. It's just not that simple. It's more than just FAs. Players don't want to be traded to smaller teams, so if a team can't make atrade towards the beginning of a players career they'll never get them. The clippers wouldn't trade shae now
@ROLLTIDEbday@DigginBrigham Ryan Smith (Jazz owner BYU donor) is currently paying Lonzo balls $10m contract and he’ll never see the court in Utah. This could eventually be true but I think BYU has a few years before the stop getting money
@NBAPR Wait so the team that played their players for 3 quarters and won the game is being penalized and the team they beat last night isn’t being fined for resting their entire starting lineup?
