@rabbriansamuel Allah = God. Intention of the Muslim saying the name during slaughter is to say in the name of God. I find no issue, similar to kosher, etc..
English
Halal meat is slaughtered according to Islamic law, and a blessing is spoken in the name of Allah.
Should Christians avoid halal meat?
Does this count as "meat sacrificed to idols"?

Damn, I did not know this.

@StrategicWin5 @Kiradavis @kelliwardaz Then then should arrange their travel around their prayer schedule.
Or they could skip the prayer and make it up later.
English
@Kiradavis @kelliwardaz Muslims have to pray 5 times a day so they kinda need the area. I don’t see why a Christian needs to go into a chapel to pray
English
I have a habit of stopping by airport chapels when I have the time. Most of them have closed down in the US in major airports, but DFW reopened theirs and they’re basically mosques. I had a very uncomfortable experience praying in the chapel on Palm Sunday, but I refused to leave while the Muslims were being so nasty. I refused to leave what is meant to be a temple of the Lord, especially on Palm Sunday. I had a long layover so I waited them out. One man grew frustrated after about 30 minutes and left, but not before others came in. They were clearly having conversations about me in Arabic. They weren’t being shy about letting me know they were talking about me. But I sat and prayed and read the Bible and I did not leave until the last Muslim had cleared out. It was actually a very scary experience given how isolated the chapel was, but I think we need to start staking ground.

If someone offered you $1 million of cash or $6,000/mo for life?
Take the $6,000/mo for life every time.
Absolute no brainer.

@winthornegary @Armin42069 @Tanyaelisabeth It can happen overnight. First state we homeschooled in, you could withdraw your child immediately, and then you had 30 days to get your homeschooling paperwork turned into the district.

I do not understand why we miss the logical conclusion of just taking your kids out of school???
I was also bullied relentlessly and begged my parents to get me out of school and they never did??!!?
Grown adults wouldn’t even go DAILY to a place where they would be constantly mistreated and abused, so why the hell do we make children do it?
Benonwine@benonwine
A 10-year-old boy is dead because he was driven to suicide by constant bullying he received at school. Sammy Teusch of Greenfield, Indiana was bullied up until the night he took his own life according to his family. Bullied over his glasses. Bullied over his teeth. Day after day. His parents didn’t ignore it. They didn’t stay quiet. They went to the school 20 times asking for help, that’s 20 TIMES! Nothing changed. He was mocked. He was hurt. He was even attacked on a school bus. And still… nothing was done. Until it was too late. His dad said: “I held him in my arms… something no father should ever have to do.” I can’t get that out of my head. This isn’t “kids being kids.” It’s cruelty. And it’s failure from the adults who were meant to protect him. Bullying has no place in any school. None. And yet here we are. How many more kids have to be pushed to this point before something actually changes? PLEASE SHARE AND MAKE SAMMY’S STORY VIRAL SO NO ONE HAS TO SUFFER LIKE HE DID. 🙏 END BULLYING, BECAUSE IT KILLS!

@Zack31849967 @ConfusedMathem1 @pegobry_en Inconclusive. I have a friend who asked us to be guardian to their children if something happened. Does that mean my friend has no siblings?
(The real story is that there were reasons my friend didn't want the siblings to get custody.)

The great thing about Sola Scriptura is that every day’s a new day!
Did Mary have other children? "Of course" XYZ. Did generations of men smarter and holier than me think different? Doesn’t matter! I read the thing and I have an OPINION
What a wonderful basis for a religion
Lyman Stone 石來民 🦬🦬🦬@lymanstoneky
It’s a very fun troll Of course the truth is Mary did have other children, and also that Paul was a married man. Some traditions really are incorrect, even if pious
English
Mary and Joseph were betrothed when the Angel Gabriel came to Mary.
Betrothal is like an engagement but in Jewish customs couples can have sex in this period.
When Mary said, "How can this be, for I know not man", she's basically saying she and Joseph never had sex in their betrothal period.
Why? Because Joseph knew Mary was a perpetual virgin before agreeing to marry her. Hence why he never had sex with her in their betrothal period.
English
@TheCatholicEngr @marasmith7 @JennMGreenberg @grok, during the time of Jesus, was it customary for betrothed couples to engage in sexual intercourse?
English
@marasmith7 @JennMGreenberg It's 100% biblical and historical, you literally have no idea what you're talking about.
Jewish couples could have sex in their betrothal period. Which is why Jesus wasn't considered a bastard child. Because the community assumed he was the child of Joseph.
English
No, that’s not it. The problem is I see absolutely no evidence for it in Scripture. Maybe instead of projecting sexual motives onto people you should have respectful conversations with them. I find this extremely disrespectful and inappropriate. You’re muted.

@ChrisGeorgeBerg @RfrmdEvangelicl @TexasPreacher Okay, I'm curious. What are some liberal non-mainline churches? I can't think of any where I live now. (And there definitely weren't any when I lived in the South.)
English
I didn't mention anything about mainline churches. There are plenty non mainline churches that are liberal. And almost every Protestant church around me is more liberal than the Catholic Church. Even the most liberal Catholic Church it's going to be more conservative than most Protestant churches.
English
12% of people who were papists at age 16 and are now Protestant.
3% of people who were Protestant at age 16 are now papists.

English
@ChrisGeorgeBerg @RfrmdEvangelicl @TexasPreacher Except most aren't switching to mainline (liberal) churches.
English
I don't think the data is wrong. It matches what I have seen.
Lots of lukewarm Catholics barely hanging on. Usually liberal and want a church where they don't need to defend things like opposing abortion or opposing gay marriage.
The few Protestants I met they came in are mostly in relationships with Catholics or seeking tradition.
And tradition is not always found in the average Catholic parish
English
Empirically speaking:
The movement from Catholic --> Protestant is way larger than the opposite direction.
In the 1970s:
8% of Catholics became Protestants
3% of Protestants became Catholic.
In the 2020s:
12% of Catholics -> Protestants
3% of Protestants -> Catholic

@mdtx12 @ryanburge Not for the most part. (If it were, those churches might not be dying so rapidly.)
English
What this doesn't show is if the Protestant movement is to liberal heretic churches that endorse abortion, zionism, lgbt, etc. Many "Christian" churches today do not follow the Bible so unfortunately many in the "Protestant" category should be recategorized to atheist or agnostic.
English
@fortyhigh @sstaedtler98 @ryanburge Dude, read the graph. Even among those who attend church every week, Evangelicals are more conservative on matters of life and sexuality.
English
@sstaedtler98 @ryanburge You ask them today, "what religion are you?" and the non-practicing Catholic adult says Catholic, the other non-practicing kid says ... who knows what, but not a "New Horizons Worship Centerist".
English
@megbasham @ryanburge Our evangelical non-denomination church currently has 2 full-time ministers: one was raised Catholic and the other is married to a woman who was raised Catholic.
English
@ryanburge So my daughter and I just did a tour at Grand Canyon University and it was very interesting that our tour guide was former Catholic who has become evangelical and transferred to GCU to strengthen her faith in that direction. Anecdotal, but we just experienced it today.

A two-cent wealth tax on ultra-millionaires would:
Deliver universal child care,
Build millions of homes,
Expand Medicare,
Provide paid family leave,
Fund tuition-free public college,
and so, so much more.
English
An American buys a $138,000 home.
She sends the bank $9,286.
After interest, taxes, and insurance take their cut,
ONLY $952 actually touches the loan.
$8,300 is PURE interest.
This isn’t paying down a mortgage — it’s usury, and it should be ILLEGAL nationwide.

@21CenturyMitch @razorfist Dude, islam is almost entirely works-based. The only guarantee of paradise is martyrdom. The hajj wipes out bad deeds, which is why it's so important to time it correctly--not too early in life, but not so late you die before completing it.
English
@razorfist Neither Catholicism nor islam is works-based. In islam martyrs and terrorists may be rewarded more, but the actual means of salvation looks more like predestination.
English
Well. They're (cosplaying as) Roman Catholic.
Those who accede to the imagined efficacy of works-based or ceremonial salvation will often find it better expressed in Islam.
Luther called this 500 years ago.
