Once and Future Church

@Awk20000 Hezbollah started shooting rockets into Israel on Oct 7, unprovoked, forcing Israel to evacuate much of northern israel. Now Israel is done with Hamas and its Hezbollah's turn.

Asmongold thinks Israel should keep b*mbing Lebanon "I think Israel should keep b*mbing Lebanon bc Lebanon has terr*rists in it, they have Hezbollah in it and they're firing rockets into Israel” “I hope he K's every single f'in one of the Hezbollah members in Lebanon..only then will the ppl there have peace"

@TheStaad All Hamas/Iran/Hezbollah has to do is not attack Israel and there would be no problems though. Why put this on Israel?

The Iran war isn’t over Not with Israel involved

Yesterday, Russia killed 11 Christians while blowing up a historic church. Not a single member of Podcastistan, who have repeatedly claimed to care deeply about such things, has denounced it. Weird, right?

@ItsRobbAllen @BeefCakeJake42 I was raised Episcopal and my wife was raised Methodist. We are at a Catholic Church and there is very little political nonsense from any sides, just reverent worship of the Trinity.

@BeefCakeJake42 I'd be lying if I said I wasn't Catholic Curious

Yesterday sucked. It was my last day at my church of 20 years. I played in the praise band for over 12 of those years. I enjoyed doing so because it was how I got to use my talents to serve God. But the sermon *literally* was about AI datacenters using all our water, mass animal farming, and how environmental racism was causing disproportionate harm to minorities. I'll miss playing, but the UMC is completely lost.

@mehdirhasan You are incapable of seeing the obvious. Hezbollah shot rockets at them. They are kicking Hezbollah's ass. They will leave after they feel the border feels secure. They don't have plans to create Jewish settlements in Lebanon.

“But ‘Greater Israel’ is an antisemitic myth!”

@crawlings13 Wow. Nice. The Groypers haven't taken over much else than online I guess.

According to a recent Pew study, US churchgoers say that Israel is nearly *the most* frequently discussed political topic from the pulpit. Among both Protestants and Catholics, that discussion is significantly more likely to be in support of Israel. Church, we have a problem.

The Iran deal is a bad one for America. But one thing can now be said: Israel surely does not control America.

@sarahdactyl123 Orthodox went from 2% all the way to... 1% in the last decade. I predict it will be a small mostly online club that will fizzle out.

I believe America will become orthodox. And I also believe that the ones who will stop at nothing to keep that from happening are other “christians.” I predict it will get ugly.

@bethecreed @jeff_of_norwich Muslims have a book and are therefore Christians? What exactly are you trying to say here?

@jeff_of_norwich Muslims are a people of the "Book" Christ is the Word. Jesus didn't bring the Bible, he brought the Church. "Bible-believing Christian" is a new phrase created out of ignorant anti-Catholic sentiment because people don't understand Christianity.

I really take issue with the term 'Bible-believeing Christian' Are there Christians who don't believe in the Bible? I mean, you've got to believe something in there

@ShaneSchaetzel Why would he? Hezbollah unprovoked started raining down rockets on northern Israel after Oct 7. Israel had to evacuate the entire north. Now that Hamas is handled, it's Hezbollah's turn. FAFO.

Netanyahu has just shown his hand publicly. This is a public declaration that he will do whatever it takes to scuttle the peace deal with Iran.👇🏻

Back when Taylor Marshall was a thing, he always said things like this (do the rosary daily or you're not on the team, celebrate the feast of the ascension on Thursday or....not in the club) It definitely contributed to the trad movement being replaced by lax novus ordo groypers

@MasterMaliq Jesus said his kingdom is not of this world and to respect leaders of nations and pay to the Romans what is due in taxes. Mohammad said conquer nations and subjugate the people to Islam (which means submission). Of course that difference in teachings has consequences

As a Muslim, there's something that genuinely bothers me. Millions of Muslims live in Christian majority countries, build mosques, preach Islam publicly, distribute Qur'ans, open halal businesses, and demand religious freedom,and rightly so. Some even call for aspects of Shariah to be accommodated in the societies they've moved to. Yet in some Muslim majority countries, Christians cannot openly preach the Gospel, build churches freely, or practice their faith without restrictions. Why? If we demand religious freedom for ourselves, we should be willing to grant it to others. Truth does not need censorship. If Islam is the truth, it has nothing to fear from a church, a Bible, or a Christian preacher. You can't demand tolerance and freedom for Muslims abroad while denying the same freedoms to others at home. The double standard needs to be called out.

@realDrTT Ain't no way I'm calling Mormons "the Church of Jesus Christ" haha. Catholics hold that title, not some recent American frontier polytheist spin off

Is this true? I knew “Mormon” isn’t proper, but “LDS”? I’ve seen plenty of y’all use the acronym yourselves.

@Mbuckberry @RichardHanania I swear, some of you morons on social media just say things because you saw saw Marxist or Hamas PR person say it and never actually check.

@OnceFutureCh @RichardHanania No there was no nuclear program they weren’t enriching at the time. Swing and a miss.

Trump got Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz. A victory that will go down in the history books.

@Mbuckberry @RichardHanania Did Obama reduce their decades-long nuclear program to rubble with bombs, kill their terrorist ayatollah, eliminate their navy and air force, crash their economy, etc? Sounds like you love jihadists and wish they would have won, but other than a lack of patience, easy win for us

@OnceFutureCh @RichardHanania “We are back to pre 2018 Obama foreign policy, including all the free money for Iran. But now Iran is in a much stronger more stable position and it only cost us, 18 sounds and the souls of 100s of schoolgirls, destroyed refinery infrastructure, devastated energy markets!”

@Mbuckberry @asmallkeypad @RichardHanania

@OnceFutureCh @asmallkeypad @RichardHanania Recruitment for their terrorist activities will never be higher. I don’t think anyone without intelligence clearance will have any clue how bad their operations are damaged but they’ll be up and running again in less than a year.

@diffugerenivesx @asmallkeypad @RichardHanania Israel and the Gulf Arabs could just topple them if we'd let them. But as it stands, Iran is a bombed out shell of what they were. I would be surprised if their regime is around in this form in a couple years.

@OnceFutureCh @asmallkeypad @RichardHanania yep - that's what is being reported - I have no problem with an end to this - but it's not likely a "victory" - and this "deal" so far is very very unpopular in Israel across the political spectrum - that's always the wild card in this game

@diffugerenivesx @asmallkeypad @RichardHanania I think they are on a very weak foundation now though. Everyone knows now they can be slapped around with no consequences.

@OnceFutureCh @asmallkeypad @RichardHanania Well then it should've been all over some time ago, no? And the strait should have been opened? You buy all the bullshit that comes from Trump's and Hegseth's mouth when the reality is otherwise. Trump has been desparate to get the strait open - and here we are. No nuclear deal.

@diffugerenivesx @asmallkeypad @RichardHanania I mean the ayatollah not president ha but many other major leaders too

@diffugerenivesx @asmallkeypad @RichardHanania Didn't their entire navy just get sunk, and all their neighbors are united against them, and their oil industry got set back, and their nukes even further back, and their top leaders including their president killed? Haha quite a victory. Are you a regime PR agent or something?
