Disciple of Christ - Husband - Father of four - Homeschool family - Reformed (W.C.F. 1648) - Postmill -Patriot for the kingdom of God on earth - Former Tesla GM
This is the result of other worldly eschatology and heaven focused perspective rather than the Kingdom of God coming to earth and the church, Christ body, doing the hard work of discipling all nations until โthe earth is filled with the knowledge of God as the waters cover the seas.โ
๐จ WOW! Vice President JD Vance reveals he initially was not a Christian, but then started to realize โ "If the Christians are right about the importance of virtue, and they're right about the importance of being a good father as opposed to how much money you make, and they're right about the importance of being a good husband as opposed to how prestigious your job is, then maybe they're right about these more fundamental questions!"
"I start asking, how do I be a good husband? How do I be a good provider? How do I be good at the things that actually matter? And the more that I asked those questions, the more that I felt like Christianity had the best answers. And it's interesting that that really is how it started for me."
"I didn't have a conversion on the road to Damascus. But I started to see these sort of rays of sunshine, these evidences of truth in Christian teaching."
๐จ BOOM! Scott Jennings DROPS THE MIC on the Democrats fuming over Elon Musk becoming the world's first trillionaire
"I've been listening all day to liberals count and spend Elon's money for him...this ENVY, jealousy, hatred of success. Why is it immoral for somebody in our system, in the greatest nation on earth, to go out and build companies, technologies, go into space, aim for a colony on Mars, give internet to half the world..."
"Why is *ANY* of this wrong or bad? Why would we want to discourage entrepreneurship? Why would we want to discourage anybody building anything that is the nature of it!"

If you're angry that Elon Musk is now a Trillionaire, you have the wrong mindset.
Elon becoming a Trillionaire literally has nothing to do with you.
The global economy is worth roughly $100 trillion per year.
There's roughly $1 QUADRILLION in global assets. That's 1,000 trillion.
Elon's net worth is equivalent to 0.1% of the world's total asset base.
The other 99.9% exists with or without Elon.
If you're actually angry that Elon is now a Trillionaire, what's really happening is that you've either:
a) have lost hope in having a good future because of circumstances in your life
b) you're wasting too much time ingesting garbage information, which is taking time away from materially improving your life's circumstance or
c) you're a jealous person that needs a lot of introspection.
For example - there are literally thousands of people who have worked at SpaceX that are now officially MILLIONAIRES because of the work they've put in.
They didn't steal it from anyway. They literally created this value out of thin air by working EXTREMELY HARD and making EXTREMELY USEFUL technology - reusable rockets.
So instead of being angry that Elon is now a Trillionaire, instead channel that energy into building something that you would be proud of and society can massively benefit from.
You can actually do it. There's literally nothing stopping you but yourself. Set aside your fear, anger, or whatever other block you have, and FORCE YOURSELF to do something big.
As you can very clearly see, you will be rewarded for it MASSIVELY.
There's no better time than now.
Mormons are some of the most disingenuous apologists for their religion in the public square.
Instead of clearly defining and defending their beliefs as distinct from historic Christianity, Mormon apologetics seem to center on blurring lines as much as possible with historic Christianity, essentially preying on the ignorant.
Jesus said to his disciples, โWhat I tell you in the dark, say in the light, and what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops.โ Paul wrote to the Corinthians, โWe refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with Godโs word, but by the open statement of the truth we would commend ourselves to everyoneโs conscience in the sight of God.โ
But we rarely hear Mormons openly proclaiming their distinctives, such as their rejection of the Trinity, their belief in preexistent spirits, their view of Jesus and Lucifer as brothers, their claim that man can become as God, and their many other doctrines ranging from laughable absurdity to damnable blasphemy.
Christians meanwhile do not need to rely on obfuscation to advance our faith. The word of the gospel is the power of God for salvation, which is why we can speak truth plainly and trust God to work, even when those truths are unpopular in our culture.
But false religions and cults such as Mormonism lack this power, forcing them to rely on deceptive, obfuscatory, and underhanded tactics instead of the rigor of their own claims.
@haymes_joshua@refredpill The justice of the Lord is terrifying. May we be found ever in His grace. โTake note, the kindness and severity of the Lordโฆ.โ
