@gothicrose24 @pastorcoin @JasminLaine_ We're all born into sin. Most of us just choose to repent. Giving into your sinful desires leads to a life of sin.

@pastorcoin @JasminLaine_ What is wrong with his father having a partner? It’s not horrific. Many people are simply just born that way. Not everyone fits into the cookie cutter mould.

A beautiful and deeply personal moment where Pierre Poilievre opens up about his father being gay.

@TexNTenn1977 @farmingandJesus @BreeSolstad @LizzieMarbach Your daughter is growing deeper in faith and you think you failed her? What would that make you if you think that's wrong?

@farmingandJesus @BreeSolstad @LizzieMarbach Please pray for our daugher (Haley) she is converting to Catholism as an adult. She married into it. We are feeling like we failed as parents somewhere.

I repent of my errors. I have been worshipping Mary, a piece of bread & some wine. This is all Pagan. I was wrong. I’m reaching out to @farmingandJesus and @LizzieMarbach tonight to ask them how to convert to Biblical Christianity. I have much to learn. Please pray for me.🙏

@dumbsushi @TStudite826 @skyfoil_exe @Stevieb8081 That's a lot of hate to hold onto going into Easter 🥴

@TStudite826 @skyfoil_exe @Stevieb8081 Empty rituals. Silly ceremonies. It’s all a show for you people. Grow up.

Former Protestant here. My craving for Christ lead me to the Catholic church. Protestantism could not fulfill my desire for Christ but the Catholic church does.

@Stevieb8081 @skyfoil_exe He must be insecure in his beliefs if this simple question causes him to block me 🤷‍♂️

@Stevieb8081 @skyfoil_exe What standard do you use to confirm its teachings are not truly grounded in Scripture?

@CalHunter2 @SambucusNemesis @thattradgal You seem to know better than the apostles, so I was interested in what you knew that I didn't about that chapter 🤷‍♂️

@ebound @SambucusNemesis @thattradgal you don’t ask human to enlighten you, ask the Holy Spirit and He will guide you.

He didn’t say; “This represents my body.” He didn’t say; “This symbolizes my body.” He said; “This IS my body.”

@MMash3204 @thattradgal You understand I'm a convert right? Also when I talk about the church elders, I'm talking about the apostles here 😁 How would you pretend to know more than they do? They were literally taught by Jesus himself.

@ebound @thattradgal They can probably cite things better than I can. That doesn’t mean they can interpret the bible correctly. In fact every Cradle Catholic believes what they believe because they were taught to believe it. The only ones I can trust to present a good argument for their beliefs are

@MMash3204 @thattradgal If your issue is with that, talk to the church elders 🤷‍♂️ If it doesn't matter to you, that's fine. But don't pretend you know more than the church elders.

@ebound @thattradgal He is clearly speaking metaphorically in my opinion and idk how Catholics got it so wrong

@CalHunter2 @SambucusNemesis @thattradgal Enlighten me

@ebound @SambucusNemesis @thattradgal that’s why catholics are lost, you tend to quote bible verses without context. Read the entire chapter 6 for better understanding.

@trenton_vet @skyfoil_exe 2 Maccabees 12, 2 Timothy 1, Matthew 12, 1 Corinthians 3 for praying for the dead. Matthew 19, 1 Timothy 2, Matthew 2 for children. Remember we are bound by the sacraments, not God.

@ebound @skyfoil_exe Do you know where I can find these in Scripture?

@JurassicMike @JDiamatti @Isabelletkrause

@JDiamatti @Isabelletkrause Demons are as real as Santa Claus, moron. I'm just a guy who is sick of ignorant people mouthing off.

"Hosanna" means "save us." But when Jesus didn't save them the way they expected, the same crowd chose "Crucify Him." It's easy to worship God when He fits into our plans but real faith is surrendering your will for His.

@ChrissieMayr I went with Joseph so I voted for Mary 😁

CATHOLIC TWITTER: What should my confirmation name be?

@trenton_vet @skyfoil_exe It's not that they can't get into Heaven, they leave it to God's divine mercy. This is in the Catechism. Yes, praying for the dead is an act of charity.

@skyfoil_exe Do Catholics believe in praying for the dead and that an unbaptized child that dies an hour after birth cannot get into Heaven?

@MMash3204 @thattradgal That's not true, they didn't just quote Jesus. Ignatius of Antioch, Justin Martyr went into detailed explanations on this. They were unanimously realists on this for several centuries. Who are these early fathers that were split? Clement? Origen? St Augustine?

@ebound @thattradgal This isn’t true. The early fathers were also split on this. It just didn’t matter. It was clear we were to keep meeting and breaking bread together. They only every quoted Jesus. They never said what they thought it meant but from their actions we can understand.

@GrandMosk @Ramandu_Star @thattradgal He's simply repeating what he learned from John. He's not talking about a thanksgiving ceremony, he's specifically talking about the flesh of our Savior.

@GrandMosk @Ramandu_Star @thattradgal 1 Corinthians 11 St. Paul distinguishes between the meal and the Lord's Supper. He's saying they're guilty of the body and blood because they don't discern the body. The focus is on the elements. Why would Ignatius in the lion's den be worried about institutional power? 🥴

@GrandMosk @Ramandu_Star @thattradgal The narrative break could've been 5 min, that doesn't matter. V60 says "when they heard this", which references everything before. Why would they wait all of that time to say "this is a hard saying" if they weren't referencing that specifically?

Assertions like this is why I left Catholicism: "He's using the Ascension to validate his authority." He's doing no such thing. Verse 59 is a narrative break: "59 These things He said in the synagogue as He taught in Capernaum." Up though v58 he was addressing the crowd that had been fed by the fish and loaves the previous day, a "great multitude". (John 6:5) In v60, Jesus is debriefing with His disciples, as He often did after addressing the public. The text doesn't tell us if this was immediately after his public comments in the synagogue or later. At this briefing, Jesus was again directly addressing the complaints and murmuring that had been present earlier among the crowd. The "hard saying" that caused murmuring is captured here: "41 The Jews then complained about Him, because He said, “I am the bread which came down from heaven.” 42 And they said, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that He says, ‘I have come down from heaven’?” 43 Jesus therefore answered and said to them, “Do not murmur among yourselves." 1/

Probably one of the better April Fool's jokes with insanely good costume design Warhammer 40k Musical

@GrandMosk @Ramandu_Star @thattradgal He's using the Ascension to validate his authority. Obviously if he has the power to ascend into heaven, he has the power to give his flesh as food. Their simple logic is too small for the reality of who he really is, so this just reinforces his point. Now your turn.

I'll answer your question if you can tell me why you think the "hard" saying" dealt with eating his flesh when Jesus says this: 60 Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a hard saying; who can understand it?” 61 When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples complained about this, He said to them, “Does this offend you? 62 What then if you should see the Son of Man ascend where He was before?" What does v62 have to do with "eating His flesh"?

@GrandMosk @Ramandu_Star @thattradgal So you think for the first 1500 years of the church they just "got it wrong"? St. Ignatius wrote in 110AD "They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer, because they do not confess the Eucharist to be the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, which suffered for our sins."

Catholics need to read John 6 more carefully. Verse 59 is a narrative break. In the subsequent discussion, Jesus directly addresses the “hard saying” (v61-62), which is that Jesus came down from heaven. His response has nothing to do with eating his flesh. The issue was blasphemy, not cannibalism. Jesus was directly responding to verses 38-42.
