@ThisMomSaid For the Parable of the Talents... To him that is given much, much is required/expected. I don't envy Elon for this reason.

To all those saying Elon Musk should give us all homes? This is reality: “It would cost approximately $55 to $60 trillion to buy an average home for every American family. This calculation is based on an average U.S. home value of about ($403,200) to ($436,500) and the roughly 133 million households currently in the country”. -Forbes. He owes us NOTHING. He is a highly motivated, hard worker who has earned his own fortune. Also, it’s extremely naive to assume he doesn’t do more than any of us will ever see for the benefit of others. Congratulations, Elon!

@ThoughtfulSaint What is the point of the savior asking us to "Love your Neighbor" if we don't Love our neighbors... 100% agree with you Jacob! The scriptures are here so we can liken them to our lives, and turn our hearts to him.

Obsession with orthodoxy (right theology) over orthopraxy (right practice) is cancer. But a true disciple of Christ prioritizes orthocardia (right heart) over all. So many twitter bros have their priorities all mixed up.

@justin_hart @EvidenceOfFaith If the standard was to attend "whenever I feel like it" our numbers would be a lot higher

@EvidenceOfFaith I need to correct and clarify. The active retention rates is the highest but the overall retention rate is average. …les-bucket.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/books/book_pdf…

I'm not surprised, to be honest. Pew Research also indicates that the LDS Church's retention rate is nearly half. Mormons are waking up to the lies of Joseph Smith.

Tips to not look as LDS, don't wear a CTR ring, a Cook of Mormon apron, an Angel Moroni Tie Tack, stop using words like flip and fetch and dang it, whistling primary tunes while busily cleaning the house, going to church every Sunday, helping out in your community, wearing a suit and tie at Walmart... That might help your easing people to realize you aren't LDS 😀

It’s fun watching people short circuit when I tell them I’m not LDS. 🤣 Nope, just a run of the mill Catholic who believes Matthew 22:37-40 isn’t just an empty platitude.

@gatoconrevolver @CoachGilly6 That looks like something I used to do with my little brother... Why do you keep hitting yourself... Stop hitting yourself! 😀

@CoachGilly6 This one is funny tho 😂

This is it, this is why I can’t watch.

@CoachGilly6 Labroned

Posted and then almost instantaneously removed. What the words of the prophets is this?

@KKGB92 @_pipdid Don't you have a bridge to troll?

@_pipdid Get out of LDS get a bible, a real one, study Galatians 1:8 and learn about who Jesus really is. I hope you repent.

As someone who struggles with same-sex attraction, being born this way is not a good excuse 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ If you were born gay or trans, you must be born again Jesus...said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God - John 3:3

@SenSanders Just once I would like to hear a Democrat talk about cost cutting before attacking any income from Americans

Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500. If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.

God hears everyone’s prayers. If you don’t believe this, then please explain.

@EvidenceOfFaith BS

Mormon bishop with LDS church explains how he surrendered himself to the real Jesus. He was a bishop for almost 30 years. I pray many more will wake up earlier then that.

@RykerJackson97 @DezGoth My mission to France was hostile... but not like this... like maybe one time that included a Machete... and one other time that included thrown feces (not mine 😀) but not a daily occurrence... thank goodness

Guys, believe me when I say that we “Mormons” have dealt with harassment before. Incidents like this are a daily occurrence. Video credit: @DezGoth

@XRPandemonium @Primary_Pianist Said no Mormon ever...

@Primary_Pianist Mormon: Have you read the Book of Mormon? Evangelical: No. The Bible says all we need for life and godliness are in His word. Mormon: The Book of Mormon is His word Evangelical: so His word wasn’t known and revealed until 1830? Mormon: 😳

Mormon: What do I need to be saved? Evangelical: Do you believe in Jesus? Mormon: Yes. Evangelical: The Jesus of the Bible? Mormon: Yes. Evangelical: That Jesus is the Son of God? Mormon: Yes. Evangelical: That He died for your sins? Mormon: Yes. Evangelical: That He rose from the dead? Mormon: Yes. Evangelical: That He’s the only way to salvation? Mormon: Yes. Evangelical: Then why don’t you believe in Jesus? Mormon: …I just said I do. Evangelical: No, not that Jesus. Mormon: Which Jesus? Evangelical: The Biblical Jesus. Mormon: The one who is the Son of God, died for sins, rose from the dead, and is the only way to salvation? Evangelical: Yes. Mormon: That’s the one I believe in. Evangelical: No, you believe in a different Jesus. Mormon: How is He different? Evangelical: Because you don’t believe in the right Jesus. Mormon: Which Jesus is the right Jesus? Evangelical: The Biblical Jesus. Mormon: … Evangelical: … Mormon: We’ve been standing in this same circle for three hours, haven’t we? Evangelical: That’s exactly what someone who doesn’t believe in the Biblical Jesus would say.

@joshnaa2gez Great Post! I think it is easy just vilify people. I like Elder Bednar's statement about declaring the gospel instead of feeling the need to defend it... What you did there is declare it boldly... so thank you!

I am positive that God, at the very least, has no problem with me being Mormon. Here’s one reason why… Just before I severed my mission, my mom had another baby. I only had one other sibling at the time and we thought my mom couldn’t get pregnant anymore. My new sister was a miracle. I fell in love with that little girl. And I knew my 10-month-old sister would be a totally different person at nearly 3-years-old when I returned. I was absolutely devastated by the thought. The night before leaving to Utah, I knelt by my bed, crying, praying my heart out for more than an hour. Finally, my thoughts became still, peace came upon me, and in my mind’s eye, I saw the unmistakable vision of a scripture reference… “D&C 31” At 19-years-old, I was not familiar enough with the scriptures to know what on earth was in that section. But I opened it up and read the Lord’s words to Thomas B Marsh just before he left on his mission… 1 Thomas, my son, blessed are you because of your faith in my work. 2 Behold, you have had many afflictions because of your family; nevertheless, I will bless you and your family, yea, your little ones; and the day cometh that they will believe and know the truth and be one with you in my church. 3 Lift up your heart and rejoice, for the hour of your mission is come; and your tongue shall be loosed, and you shall declare glad tidings of great joy unto this generation. Say what you want about my religion. But God heard my prayer, answered it using LDS scriptures, and encouraged me to serve an LDS mission. You can be a fool and claim that my experience must have been Satan’s counterfeit. But that argument holds no water with me… I know what the peace of the holy spirit feels like. There’s lots of things Satan can mimic. But, not that. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is true. Or at the very least, God is fine with me being here and is perfectly capable of saving me as a Mormon. So, I don’t care what the world says. What greater witness can I have than from God?

Blue Bloods is my favorite show, every episode they have a family meal together when someone offers a blessing on the food. No it doesn't bother me, I am grateful that they can portray family values in such an amazing way. I have a lot of admiration for Catholics and a lot of the traditions that come with it.

Another question before we do our interfaith dialogue this evening. Is it disagreeable to LDS the way that Catholics begin their prayers in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, making the sign of the cross? Some Protestants really get a bug up their butts about it.

@TheRetroSlayer How the Atari ST and Amiga lost to this is still a mystery to me....

Test Drive - DOS (1987) That legendary cracked windshield screen we all stared at way too often in the 80s. 💥 #TestDrive #ClassicGaming #Nostalgia

@Pirat_Nation And yet every game out there has ai code throughout. The outrage is hypocritical and self serving to virtue signal.

The developers of 1666: Amsterdam have apologized after players discovered AI-generated assets in the prologue demo and promotional cover art. Players noticed that some pictures in the demo and on the game cover were made by AI. The company, Panache Digital Games, says this was a mistake. They used old test versions by accident. The studio has more than a dozen real artists on the team. "We own up to this oversight and apologize for any upset caused. Please be assured that the Early Access and full game will not include any assets generated by AI."

@jaredadairbell Curious... do you take selfies to know for sure?

I couldn’t stop myself

@emuse1955 Dude... what are you thinking... yikes.. your performance was so cringe worthy... The main issue is that you have no clue about how God communicates with his children and how the Holy Spirit works...

@Latterdaytruth If Joseph Smith isn't a true prophet, why/how did he reveal a Heavenly Father that is infinitely better than the Creedal understanding?

What topics would you love to see discussed or debated between Creedal Christians and Latter-day Saints?
