I wanted to read the classics, but kept getting stuck in translations that are a hundred years old.
So I built Coltiva: public-domain classics in modern English, with full versions, 20% short versions, and 8-20 page distilled ones.
Take a look: https://t.co/8woSKdNnY9
@MrCasey62 Whatever theological framework you build around it. 70% of the NT is telling you to repent, turn away from your old ways, turn towards God and become Christlike.
Seeing that just as a suggested way to live, because you are already saved anyway, seems quite foolish.
If you're curious why the media is spreading so much false information about the riots, consider:
— The French Culture Ministry paid €204.7 million in direct aid to the news media in 2023, of which Le Monde received €8.3 million, L’Humanité €6.5 million and Libération €6.3 million
— The @afpfr runs "fact-checks" in 26 languages, received €120 million from the French state in 2025, against €200.3 million in commercial revenue. @AFP is French government propaganda and disinformation
— European governments are committed through a UN agreement to spread pro-mass migration propaganda by funding it directly. The “migration compact,” which 152 governments voted for in the UN General Assembly in 2018, commits them to “stopping allocation of public funding... to media outlets that systematically promote intolerance, xenophobia, racism and other forms of discrimination towards migrants," which is broadly interpreted to cover criticism of mass migration policies
— To maintain control over news media, the European Commission funds a network of 15 fact-checking hubs with tens of millions of euros, and its rules require platforms to give priority to notices from “trusted flaggers.”
— Governments fund think tanks to produce reports, including ones demanding censorship, that the news media cover sympathetically and editorialize in support of.
— The @ISDglobal in London — which demands censorship of people it disagrees with on climate change, gender, and migration, refuses to speak with journalists, and lists a phony address — lists among its funders the British Foreign Office, the U.S. Departments of Homeland Security and Justice, the German Foreign Office and the European Commission, along with Google and Microsoft.

— Public reported in 2024 that ISD and the German fact-checker Correctiv, both government-funded, had spread false claims about German farmers and opposition politicians.
@Reuters So, the budget is too low, so we cause hundreds of millions worth of damage to schools, and somehow this is going to fix things?
Shit like this needs to be dealth with swiftly and firm. They are destroying society.
Canadian journalist goes to Israel… and the two-state dream dies on the spot. 🇨🇦🇮🇱
Standing on the border, she points to an Israeli military hospital treating Syrian women — ages 8 to 80 — who were raped by ISIS.
Then she drops the truth bomb:
“I came here believing in the two-state solution.
I really did.
I’m at a point now where I frankly do not.”
“The only way this tiny piece of land stays free… is if Israelis are in control of it.”
Because if you hand any of it to the PLO or Hamas —
it will look exactly like Syria.
Sometimes the most powerful pro-Israel voices aren’t Israeli.
They’re the ones who actually showed up and opened their eyes. 👀🔥
John 1:3
“All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.”
Isaiah teaches that there was nobody besides God at creation; He created all things on His own.
Isaiah 44:24
“Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, And He who formed you from the womb: ‘I am the Lord, who makes all things, Who stretches out the heavens all alone, Who spreads abroad the earth by Myself.’
Therefore Jesus has to be God if He was creating and present at creation. The same Lord who says He stretched out the heavens all alone is the One through whom and for whom all things were made. That is the consistent witness of Scripture.
@JesusSavesUs777 Even the song, born this way.
The whole Bible preaches repentance of sin and turning away from the sinful nature you are born in.
On all fronts this is deliberately contradicting scripture and anyone involved should turn away from their ways and repent.
@Protestia It’s because of my believe in Him that I may call out to Him as Abba Father.
If you find it difficult that this is gendered language, you might want to do some soul searching into why you hate father figures so much. And 2nd, why you have to distort the Bible to your narrative
@MontgomeryToms@FreedomWatchGB The willingness to betray their own intelligence astounds me. He has to know that he isn’t making a fair argument right? That a woman is someone who is a woman is circular, and that there actually is a pretty good definition for a table possible.
He knows it, we know it.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres said: “I have never seen killing and destruction like Gaza in all my years as Secretary-General.”
According to even the most critical reports, Guterres, 70,000 people were killed in the war in Gaza, a large proportion of them Hamas terrorists.
During your years as Secretary-General: more than 600,000 people were massacred or starved to death in Ethiopia.
377,000 died in Yemen — that figure appears in reports issued by your own organization.
150,000 were killed in Sudan and 12 million were displaced.
Hundreds of thousands have been buried in Ukraine.
You didn’t see it? They died before your eyes. You simply looked the other way, because the Jews couldn’t be blamed.
@paulg Anyone who thinks bureaucracy works, and bullshit jobs actually do something, should study this.
He fired 80% of the personnel, and then proceeds to release 10x more features in a a couple of years than twitter in its whole lifetime.
