@StallionCornell @TaylorPetrey Context is critical to accurately interpreting any scripture or revelation. Revelation has never been given in a vacuum.

[Arizona Millennial @theazmillennial]

@StallionCornell @TaylorPetrey I suppose if you completely ignore the context in which it was issued.

[Arizona Millennial @theazmillennial]

@MichaelPruser Oregon Dems made a huge jump from 2016 to 2020. Wonder if we’re just starting to see things rebalance back towards 2016 levels or if this is indicative of a larger trend.

@npthree @Garrett_Archer @jeffmetcalfe Republicans have increased their lead in registrations over Democrats in recent years by a meaningful margin. A string of bad Republican candidates is what gives it the illusion of a purple to blue state.

@LDS_Dems 40% is actually pretty high, especially when studies show that only 10-20% of insured people don’t use their health insurance in a given year. There could be legitimate reasons why Obamacare may have higher than average rates of non-use, but the percentage warrants a look.

@ryanswalters73 LDS believe that Christ’s Atonement consists of His suffering in Gethsemane and on the cross, His death, and His Resurrection. Christ’s suffering in the garden as an essential part of the Atonement seems like a fundamental Christian belief though that isn’t limited to Mormonism.

@IAPolls2022 GA could be safe D, but no way it’s anywhere close to +9.5.

[Arizona Millennial @theazmillennial]

@RepGregStanton Same vibes

[Arizona Millennial @theazmillennial]

@TribeRuffner You could actually read the book and it would tell you why.

[Arizona Millennial @theazmillennial]

@IAPolls2022 Maybe, but most Americans would pass the “show me your nazi tattoo” test.

[Arizona Millennial @theazmillennial]

@TaylorPetrey This actually supports the opposite conclusion. Active Church members are overwhelmingly Republican, yet Republicans only slightly outnumber Democrats among former members. This suggests that Democrats are leaving at higher rates than Republicans.

@Latterdaytruth Would be cool. I’d also love to see them make chapels big enough to accommodate an entire congregation in the pews. We shouldn’t have half the congregation regularly seated in metal chairs on a basketball court.

[Arizona Millennial @theazmillennial]

@Nero The entire point is that it’s another witness of Jesus Christ. Its intent is to affirm the truths taught in the Bible.

[Arizona Millennial @theazmillennial]

@Manhattva A breaking point is inevitable at some point. A political alliance between the Church and the religious right was only going to last so long.

[Arizona Millennial @theazmillennial]

@rockinpessimism @BurtMaclin_FBI Seems like you’re already there brother. Trolling twitter arguing about a religion you supposedly left decades ago sure sounds hellish to me.

[Arizona Millennial @theazmillennial]

@rockinpessimism @BurtMaclin_FBI That’s a gross mis-characterization of my religion, but thanks for proving my point.

[Arizona Millennial @theazmillennial]

@rockinpessimism @BurtMaclin_FBI We don’t want to be in your club and acknowledge we are vastly different on some core doctrines. We just ask for honesty in recognizing our beliefs, which are that Jesus is the risen savior of the world and the eternal God.

[Arizona Millennial @theazmillennial]

@davverista Heb. 1:3 doesn’t use “substance” in the same way the creeds do. The point isn’t that the creeds are illegitimate, just that they introduce extra-biblical concepts rather than merely summarize the Biblical text.

[Arizona Millennial @theazmillennial]

Those two beliefs are exclusive. One cannot believe in the integrity and finality of the New Testament yet believe that subsequent creeds are necessary to clarify the scriptural text.

[Old-World American @davverista]

We constantly explain why; Mormons simply reject the explanation. To be a Christian you must believe in the Trinity and in the integrity and finality of the New Testament.

[Arizona Millennial @theazmillennial]

@davverista The biblical text actually allows for a number of reasonable interpretations, which is partly why new conceptual definitions developed in the creeds.
