@_OKJ__ @Lets_b_Cool Shouldn’t he have been? Walking on water, raising the dead, making blind men see. You’d think people would come from around the world to see this guy, and surely the local guards would’ve been well aware of these events. It would’ve been the talk of the town every day.

@Lets_b_Cool Jesus was not famous.

I was having a conversation with a Christian friend last night about some of the reasons I do not believe the gospel accounts of the death and resurrection are reliable… one such reason was when Jesus Christ was actually crucified. I told him this isn’t some obscure detail….it’s the central event of the entire story. And yet when you line up the accounts, they don’t just differ slightly, they contradict in a way that cannot be reconciled. I started with the Gospel of Mark. In Mark, Jesus eats the Passover meal with his disciples…that’s the Last Supper. After that, he’s arrested overnight, tried, and then crucified the next mornin at about 9 a.m. (Mark 15:25). So in this account, the crucifixion happens after the Passover meal. Then I showed him the Gospel of John. Here, everything shifts. Jesus is still before Pontius Pilate around noon on the day of Preparation of the Passover ….the very day the Passover lambs are being slaughtered (John 19:14). That means Jesus is crucified before the Passover meal, not after. So in one account, Jesus eats the Passover, in the other, he dies before it even happens. My friend tried to say maybe it’s just a minor timing issue. But it’s not. This completely changes the sequence of events. In Mark, the Last Supper is the Passover meal. In John, it can’t be…because Jesus is already dead before the meal begins. You can’t have both. Then I asked him why John would move it. And that’s where the real issue comes in. John is the only gospel that strongly pushes the idea of Jesus as the “Lamb of God.” So what does the author do? He places Jesus’ death at the exact time the Passover lambs are being slaughtered in Jerusalem. This is not history shaping theology…it’s theology reshaping history. Once you see that, it’s hard to unsee. The timeline isn’t just reported differently…it’s reworked to make a symbolic point. And that raises a bigger question I asked him directly…if the author is willing to change the day of Jesus’ death to fit a theological message, what else in the story has been adjusted for the same reason? At that point, he didn’t realy have a response. Because this isn’t something you can harmonize without doing violence to the texts. Jesus cannot both eat the Passover meal and die before it. He cannot be crucified the morning after and the afternoon before at the same time. This really clearly shows that these accounts are theological narratives written by believers shaping the story to express what they believed. And once that door opens, the reliability of the entire narrative becomes a serious question.

@McRibPaperHands @UltraDane For judges?

@UltraDane Public execution.

An "indigenous man" has been spared jail (Get out of jail free) and a conviction for raping a woman who was lying on a picnic rug in swimwear reading in Townsville. The judge called him "silly" and said he was "foolish" and gave him a 12-month probation sentence. Joshua John Salee, 19, pleaded guilty in Townsville Magistrates Court on Monday to a single charge of sexual assault over the February 1 incident, which he blamed on “mad lust”. "Mad lust is all it was, we need to take that into account", said defense lawyers. Salee’s victim was lying on a picnic rug on her stomach while wearing swimwear and reading a book at the Riverway Complex on February 1 when he carried out the attack, the court heard. "You're a foolish man" noticer.news/townsville-ind…

@KillpackMichael @robert47983 @JoelMCurzon They should do what they know to be right.

@robert47983 @JoelMCurzon People should do whatever they think is right?

Religions differ in the degree to which their founding falsehoods were honest delusions or deliberate deceptions. I rate Paul, for instance, as sincerely deluded; Muhammad and Joseph Smith, largely as charlatans. It can certainly be a bit of both. Human psychology is complex.

@InterstellarUAP Which one?

I believe in God

No. There’s a reason he was called the god of Abraham. He wasn’t the god of all people. There were many gods at the time. The gods competed in wars. Whoever won the war had the superior god. The losing nation would acknowledge that their god had been beaten. It’s sad that we still have a similar thing going on today. Yahweh vs Allah. This is why we can’t have nice alien things.

Aren’t ALL people the ‘people of God’? Or does God only care about certain races? Asking for a friend…

@jackmoses777 I need to set up a way to reclaim royalties in a future life. 😁

When you realize your true nature as a spirit who lives in various human forms across lifetimes, your mission, desires, and creations begin to extend beyond this incarnation. For example, a book you write in this lifetime can influence the world you will be living in as a new human 1,000 years from now, even if “you”in that lifetime don’t remember if you wrote the book. Realize that the same souls that wrote the Bible or the Gita are still around today, they just likely don’t know they wrote it. Understand this is a multi-incarnation video game. What you do in this lifetime will not only impact yourself karmically 1-2 lifetimes from now, but also the impact you have on the world will change the world you live in multiple lifetimes in the future. Most people never see reality this way. They only ever believe they are this personality in this body, so they destroy the world and their spirit for the sake of maximizing their human pleasure without ever recognizing their spiritual nature. If you knew you were spirit, and you knew that your creations in this life would impact your life and the world in your incarnation 100-500 years from now, how would your mission and desires change? Very few are playing at this level, but if more of us were, we could speed of the path to the New Earth for ourselves. Can we really create a New Earth in this lifetime? Maybe. By the Grace of God, it will be done. But even if we aim for a New Earth in this lifetime and fall short, we are setting ourselves up for easier paths to accomplishing the same goal 2-3 lifetimes from now, even though it’s unlikely we’ll remember exactly who we were or what we did to accelerate human progress during this incarnation.

@JTren1618 @digijordan I’m with the non-Muslim Persians.

@digijordan I'm with the Persians.

The Iranian government sent a letter to the people of America: IRAN'S FULL "OPEN LETTER" TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE: "To the people of the United States of America, and to all those who, amid a flood of distortions and manufactured narratives, continue to seek the truth and aspire to a better life: Iran—by this very name, character, and identity—is one of the oldest continuous civilizations in human history. Despite its historical and geographical advantages at various times, Iran has never, in its modern history, chosen the path of aggression, expansion, colonialism, or domination. Even after enduring occupation, invasion, and sustained pressure from global powers—and despite possessing military superiority over many of its neighbors—Iran has never initiated a war. Yet it has resolutely and bravely repelled those who have attacked it. The Iranian people harbor no enmity toward other nations, including the people of America, Europe, or neighboring countries. Even in the face of repeated foreign interventions and pressures throughout their proud history, Iranians have consistently drawn a clear distinction between governments and the peoples they govern. This is a deeply rooted principle in Iranian culture and collective consciousness—not a temporary political stance. For this reason, portraying Iran as a threat is neither consistent with historical reality nor with present-day observable facts. Such a perception is the product of political and economic whims of the powerful— the need to manufacture an enemy in order to justify pressure, maintain military dominance, sustain the arms industry, and control strategic markets. In such an environment, if a threat does not exist, it is invented. Within this same framework, the United States has concentrated the largest number of its forces, bases, and military capabilities around Iran—a country that, at least since the founding of the United States, has never initiated a war. Recent American aggressions launched from these very bases have demonstrated how threatening such a military presence truly is. Naturally, no country confronted with such conditions would forgo strengthening its defensive capabilities. What Iran has done—and continues to do—is a measured response grounded in legitimate self-defense, and by no means an initiation of war or aggression. Relations between Iran and the United States were not originally hostile, and early interactions between the Iranian and American people were not marred with hostility or tension. The turning point, however, was the 1953 coup d’état—an illegal American intervention aimed at preventing the nationalization of Iran’s own resources. That coup disrupted Iran’s democratic process, reinstated dictatorship, and sowed deep distrust among Iranians toward U.S. policies. This distrust deepened further with America’s support for the Shah’s regime, its backing of Saddam Hussein during the imposed war of the 1980s, the imposition of the longest and most comprehensive sanctions in modern history, and ultimately, unprovoked military aggression—twice, in the midst of negotiations—against Iran. Yet all these pressures have failed to weaken Iran. On the contrary, the country has grown stronger in many areas: literacy rates have tripled—from roughly 30% before the Islamic Revolution to over 90% today; higher education has expanded dramatically; significant advances have been achieved in modern technology; healthcare services have improved; and infrastructure has developed at a pace and scale incomparable to the past. These are measurable, observable realities that stand independent of fabricated narratives…🧵

@Lovelif09473050 @digijordan The only fraud is the Iranians talking about never starting a war while ignoring all those who have died due to Iranian sponsored terrorism. I guess jihad doesn’t count.

@digijordan Why would you post this? Anything for clicks and $$$$ you are a fraud

@Disco77Cowboy @digijordan Jordan simply shared what the Iranians said. I don’t know why people think this is his personal statement. Re-read the first sentence.

@DisaffectedPod That part. It’s giving neo-Stepford Wives. [silent scream] I can’t.

We're seeing a new kind of "person" that we've never seen before. Starting with young millennials, but highly characteristic of Gen Z. This new kind of person can only be described as having no personality. I mean that literally. They actually don't have *personalities*. They use the exact same vocal intonation. They use the exact same empty emotive phrases that don't communicate content or ideas. They use the same hand gestures. They don't *say anything*. They seem like human instantiations of an LLM. Programmed with a stereotyped range of responses, and that's all. You can't prod them into having a personality, because they actually don't have one. They don't even know that they don't have one. They have no actual thoughts. No real opinions. They have affective gestures and responses tied to cue words. When I was their age, everyone I knew, casually or otherwise, had a personality. Becky's humor was distinct. Charlie's way of handling disagreements was particular to him. Shannon would always voice the minority view any time there was a debate. They all had their own voices (actual vocal tonality), their own way of carrying their bodies, their own facial expressions. Think about it. Think about your friends from the 90s. Now look at Gen Z today. Do you see it? The lack of genuine personality? -J

@ForwardNebraska @DisaffectedPod But woke opinions are accepted, if not required.

@DisaffectedPod “Inclusion” in the schools precludes having opinions. It is beaten out of them from an early age. Outliers are punished socially. It is called Social emotional Learning and parents and teachers have been bamboozled. Cognitive dissonance is created by it, precursor to brainwashing

@digijordan @bryan_johnson It would be like getting stuck in a movie forever without even knowing that you’re an actor.

Extending life is great. ‘Curing death’ is a terrible mistake. Your consciousness is non-physical and only streams into this avatar for a temporary sojourn. Physical incarnation is very important. But it’s not base-level reality. If you achieve true transhumanism, you’ll become a ghost locked in a machine.

Death isn’t fate, it’s an engineering problem.

Logically, yes. The Bible also has descriptions of angels in flying craft, so when people say “aliens are demons”, I point out, “and/or angels”. It’s silly to ignite the fact that only good guys flew the ufos in the Bible, but then assume that only bad guys are flying them now. Fortunately tho, there’s no such thing as angels and demons. There are only those who came down from above, which are all technically ETs. And we can move on from the limited understanding of ancient, uneducated sheep herders. 😝

If ‘Aliens’ are demons… Wouldn’t that mean that… Angels are ‘Aliens’ too?

They actually shot down the pronoun nonsense, and even better than that, when the girl asks her mom why the they person hates her so much, the mother says, she doesn’t hate you - she hates herself. I was blown away seeing that truth put out there. And here people are saying the show bowed down to woke BS.

Why? Why do people sit through this kind of slop? The sooner everyone stops watching the slop they produce, the sooner they will all get fired, and hopefully decent writers will get picked up to write good entertainment. Oh, who am I kidding... all the writers are in a union and it borders on impossible to fire union workers.

Ugh. I just got to episode 9 in season 2, where Ainsley meets her new roommate. Pronouns. Are you kidding me? Why did landman add that woke crap to the show?! Pronouns vegan bs. I was really enjoying it up until now. 🤦‍♀️

I’ve seen many people double down on a scam that they’ve given their wealth and years of their life to. It happens in Scientology all the time. It’s easier to re-commit than to face what you’ve done. People can’t handle being catastrophically wrong if they have the option to continue being right. After years, leaving would also mean the loss of family, job, community, friends, etc. and trying to make it in a world you don’t know any more. It’s far, far easier to stay and double down. Imagine thinking that staying in proves Scientology is legit.

If Joseph Smith was deceiving people, how do you explain the testimony of Martin Harris? If anyone had reason to expose the work as a fraud, it was Martin. Martin Harris was the first convert to the restoration outside of the Smith family. He was not a poor or desperate man. He was a successful farmer, respected in his community, and financially secure. He was motivated and built his wealth through hard work and ingenuity. He had everything to lose. Before Martin ever met the Smith family, he had attended at least five different denominations and said the Lord showed him there was no true Church on the earth, and that an angel would come to restore the gospel and bring forth a record. Because of that experience, when he heard about Joseph Smith and the gold plates, he was intrigued. But he didn’t accept it blindly. He questioned, investigated, and prayed. He said God showed him it was true, and he made a covenant to help bring it forth. When new opportunity for additional prosperity came for him with the expansion of the Erie Canal, Martin abandoned his worldly pursuits of additional wealth to assist in the work. He gave money freely. He helped fund Joseph so that Joseph could have time to translate the record. He traveled to New York City to show the characters from the gold plates to scholars. After meeting with Charles Anthon and Dr. Mitchell, Martin came away convinced the record Joseph had was authentic. He traveled to Harmony, PA and for two months he sat beside Joseph and scribed 116 pages that Joseph dictated from the Book of Mormon. But the respected Martin Harris struggled, because his wife, relatives, and the Palmyra community at large thought this quest was foolish. They did not believe, and they wanted proof. He desperately needed evidence. He wanted to show others to restore his good name, to demonstrate that he was not being fooled or the victim of a con. He plead with Joseph, asking to take the manuscript home, for that was the evidence he believed would convince the doubters. He knew the text that Joseph dictated, that he wrote down, was the word of God, the word of an ancient people who were taught the covenants of God. Eventually, he was trusted with the manuscript and took it to Palmyra. But he did not stay true to this covenant to show it only to a few people. And he lost it. 116 pages gone. When he realized what had happened, he cried out: “I have lost my soul.” This was a man who knew the weight of what he was handling, who had spent weeks taking part of the spiritual process transcribing the words of the Lord. Martin was publicly rebuked in revelation, told of his pride, wickedness, and failure. Told that he needed to humble himself. If this was a fraud, wouldn’t this be the moment to expose it? After months of effort, financial sacrifice, and public reprimand, this is when people turn bitter and speak out. Instead, Martin humbled himself. The translation of the Book of Mormon continued without him. And then came the moment everything hinges on. Martin became one of the Three Witnesses. But he didn’t just see the same vision and angel in the same experience as Oliver Cowdery and David Whitmer. After feeling the weight of his own lack of humility and sincerely praying, sincerely seeking repentance, Martin and Joseph together had a shared witness and experience where the angel appeared. He saw the angel. He saw the plates. And he said: “’Tis enough; ’tis enough; mine eyes have beheld.” That testimony never wavered. Then came the ultimate test and sacrifice. Printing 5,000 copies of an unknown book by an unknown author in 1830 was astronomically expensive, and Joseph had no other friends who could help finance this. Martin Harris pledged his farm, his livelihood, to pay for the printing of the Book of Mormon. $3,000. If it failed, he lost everything. And he did. He sold 151 acres of his farm to pay for the printing. His reputation suffered. His marriage was strained. He was mocked, ridiculed, and pitied by his neighbors. If Martin's motive was financial, if this was part of a con and he lost everything with nothing in return, this is where he exposes it and sues Joseph Smith and the Church for ruining him. No one sacrifices that kind of wealth and security for something they know is false if there is no gain for them. But even that wasn’t the end. When Joseph instructed the early members of the Church to gather to Ohio, Martin not only left his prosperous home and farm in Palmyra. In 1831 he donated $1,200 to help build Zion in Missouri. If you've already been scammed by something you know is a fraud and lost everything, you don't double down and do it again, especially when in this case there is not any potential for a return on investment. Martin did not hold high positions in the Church. He was not one of the apostles or in the First Presidency. If his goal was power or position, his sacrifices brought no return in that regard. If that had been his motive, he would have had every reason to feel betrayed by Joseph Smith after all he gave. Martin was a wise businessman and knew that Joseph was not. He let his pride overcome him, feeling that he knew better about financial matters than Joseph, and because of this, Martin left the Church when the Kirtland Safety Society collapsed in 1837. He had lost confidence in Joseph. He disagreed. He struggled. But he was still spiritually committed. Still convinced that the Book of Mormon was true and that he was called as a witness. He associated with other religious groups, trying to find where the truth was, but ended up dissatisfied with all of them. During the 1850s and 60s, he moved back to Kirtland where he became a caretaker for the Kirtland Temple. People would come to see it, and while not being affiliated with the Church, he would proudly share his witness of the Book of Mormon and his testimony that an angel had appeared to him, and related the thrilling sacred experiences that happened in the Temple in 1836. For decades, he lived outside the Church, but he never denied what he saw. Critics questioned him. Ministers challenged him. People tried to persuade him to recant. But he didn’t. Even when he lost everything. Even when he was poor. Even when he was outside the Church and far away in an area filled with those opposed to the Church. He kept saying the same thing. “I saw the angel.” “I saw the plates.” “I heard the voice of God.” Late in life, at nearly 90 years of age, he made the journey west to rejoin the saints. He was rebaptized and moved to Cache Valley. He spent the final four years of his life testifying over and over again to anyone who would listen. At the end of his life, he bore this final witness as his dying breath: “I did see the plates… I did see the angel; I did hear the voice of God.” If it was a fraud, why was Martin so steadfast in his testimony and so eager to share it, even after sacrificing so much without any worldly benefit?

@foundring1 You think the old Twitter would’ve been more accepting?
