@hodgetwins I think the Bible even says they're no longer God's chosen people? something about when they killed Jesus and did not repent by following him, they were no longer following the word of God... considering the books preached his coming from David's line, and they ignored it.
@libsoftiktok This infuriates me.
We grew up so poor we had to buy water bc we had no running water. We used food banks and government food.
You not being able to get chips and soda is not starving. Living in a place that has no food bank or where you cannot afford rice & beans is starving.
@Inceljazz@sircalebhammer And "learning to walk" might lead to "dying of drugs" bc yanno, ya gotta walk at some point to get drugs from someone. Omfg, dude, if we followed your extreme line of thinking, the world would be fucked. Are you ACTUALLY retarded or do you just act like it on Twitter for clicks?
@ScottRowntree@sircalebhammer Yes.
Bc each coffee from Starbucks or the gas station adds up. My husband used to do it, till I showed him how much a month went to just snacks and feel good junk food. $300/mo... that could go to paying off a debt or groceries or both... if it's a waste of money, don't do it
@Major_Richard_@Truth_matters20 Orthodoxy is about the deep repentance & true acceptance of Jesus as Lord through that repentance. The good thief repented asked to be remembered, Jesus said, 'you will be, for you are going with me' bc he'd repented, accepted him as God, and Jesus recognized it.
@Truth_matters20 The pictures you showed are called relics. One was the crucifixion cross, sought out by the mother of Constantine, Helen. It is said relics are holy things in that, as inanimate, non-living objects, they do things other items do not. Such as wood that constantly streams oil.
@TheFlatEartherr It's called aging.
If you spent significant time with your elders, you would have heard them talk about this long before you ever felt it.
The more you experience, the more you understand, the less magic there is to life, the faster time feels.
@zacharyebell I tell people how to reboot their modems and get screamed at for missing appointments, that other people are assigned to by another group of people, that get my request to fix something when the people told me it wasn't working.
@complicitclergy This kind of melding with society that churches do is why I knew Orthodoxy was the right church for me if I was going to go to church again. Be gay, it's not for me to judge, but that's not the will of God, as per the original church, never was or will be.
The USCCB has granted approval for the NRSVue edition of the Bible, becoming the first major modern English translation to eliminate any reference to homosexual practice. https://t.co/VepzMv7hjE
