@wendelltalks It's only a problem for the Genesis literalists.

What do you think? Is the age of the earth a primary biblical issue, or, is it a second, or third order issue, that Christians can comfortably agree to disagree on?

@AiG But it may all be wrong.

@RightWingWatch Thats Nazi

Right-wing commentators James Kunstler and Eric Metaxas suggest that Trump needs to declare a national emergency and outlaw the Democratic Party: "I think it would probably look something like a civil war." peoplefor.org/rightwingwatch…

@benonwine Lunacy

Rudy Giuliani calls King Charles a 'Muslim monarch'. What’s your REACTION to this Statement?

@ramzpaul Trump has caused economic havoc and loss of innocent lives. Are you happy with your gas prices and related goods going up? Lack of planning.

I agree with Trump. You Brits really fucked up the situation in Iran. You should feel ashamed.

@farmingandJesus Lots of lies at the moment from the Oval Office. Not a Christian President or Vice President

@MarkHam80780803 Is this real or some joke fake news?

Breaking:Rupert Lowe pledges that Restore will abolish the modern numbering system, due to its Indian and Arabic origins, and revert to a tally system which was popular in Palaeolithic Britain.

After shouts of Hosanna, Jesus enters the temple & clears out those who have used religion to exploit people. He then welcomes the blind & paralyzed in the temple & heals them. Holy Week reminds us that Jesus has a furious love for those the world has little regard for.

@KayBurley You can bet Trump will use it for his own ends. I wonder what embarrassment awaits the King in the Oval Office press conference.

The visit by Charles and Camilla to the United States is to go ahead in April. The monarch represents long term relationships for the state, not the government, so meeting elected leaders is part of the job. However, will a meet and greet with Charles and Camilla be used for domestic political messaging? Meanwhile 👇

@AgainstAtheismX That is not what most scientists believe.

Atheists unironically believe lighting struck some water and... poof! Life just... happened. And then that turned into a fish. And then a lizard. And then a monkey. And then you. But Christians are the ones that believe in fairytales...

@mikeysmith That is ignorance based on fake news by the extreme right . She needs to be put right with the actual truth.

American Trump supporters are convinced Britain has entirely been taken over by Sharia Law. Wonder who gave them that idea.

The current Christian Nationalist movement, regardless of what honorable aims it may claim, has completely discredited itself by approving and accepting among its members and co-belligerents racists, white supremacists, and nazis.

@TRobinsonNewEra @Keir_Starmer @realDonaldTrump Trump's attack on Iran was reckless without any consideration of how Iran would respond. Innocent lives lost and economic mayhem, with no clear plan. Its not working and lives are being lost for no great gain.

As @Keir_Starmer hosts terrorists, @realDonaldTrump sends a message telling the UK that he won't be helping the nation anymore because of two tier Keir's cowardice regarding Iran. Starmer isn't just despised by the British people. But now on the world stage. He's got to go.

@aigkenham No its a biblical interpretation issue related to beliefs in how Genesis was written.

The age of the earth is a biblical authority issue.

@TexasPreacher Archaeology finds that Christian images were being used by late in the first century.

The early church was marked by simplicity in worship: no images, no ornate vestments, no elaborate ceremonial displays or processions. Those things belonged to the surrounding pagan world with which they were at war with. Eventually Christianity won out, and paganism was destroyed. In later centuries, the devil found a way to bring it back in, this time through the papists. Now we again find pomp, demi-gods, smells, & superstition; we see prayers directed to angels and saints; veneration of images; adoration of the host; and worship conducted with incense, vestments, spectacle, ritual display, etc. These were all practices that had been distinctly pagan. Thus, what began as the simple worship of God in spirit & truth took on forms of the religions that Christianity had once displaced. That's why today, Rome looks nothing like the early church, and very much like blatant old school paganism. (And EO isn't any better. Basically a mysticized version of the above, with the added practice of wood worship.)

@DPJHodges With due respect to Starmer, I do not think it that simple.

The King’s visit is another example of Keir Starmer’s total inability to adopt a position and stick to it. If we’re standing up to Trump, fine. Stand up to him and do something that will actually impact him. Tell him the visit is off.

@davidkurten Anyone with legal settled status and citizenship should be able to vote for those who govern them and use their taxes. You would want that if you lived in any other country.

Foreign nationals should not be allowed to vote in UK elections.

@ShemekaMichelle Extreme Protestants hate Catholicism and extreme Catholics hate Protestants. Its high time we all grew up in love for each other. No wonder atheists reject all of us as irrelevant to modern life.

Why is there such hate for the Catholic religion?

@aigkenham They are not historical days and it is not actual history. Light in the universe comes from star formation and so came after the first stars were formed. The Genesis days were a convenient way to set out the story of creation in a symbolic way.

Is a day in Genesis “like a thousand years”? Yesterday I provided the first two parts of my answer to this objection, below are three more: 3. I notice those who ask this question or make this objection always seem to quote the first part of the verse and not the rest. After “with the Lord one day is as a thousand years,” the verse continues, “And a thousand years as one day.” Now this in essence cancels out the first section. The whole point is to God a day is like a thousand years, or a thousand years like a day. Again, it’s because God is outside of time. So to God, a day or a thousand years doesn’t make any difference in regard to time. Now humans are created in time, and we measure time by days and years. To humans, a thousand years is so much longer than one day. But that is not so for God. 4. Now let’s look at the context of 2 Peter 3. The passage leading up to verse 8 starting in verse 3 states, “Knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires” (2 Peter 3:3). The passage is discussing the second coming of Christ, the last days, and the scoffers who scoff at Jesus coming again: “They will say, ‘Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation’” (2 Peter 3:4). So these scoffers are saying that things just go on and on, so Jesus is obviously not coming back. The passage is teaching us that for those scoffers who believe Jesus isn’t coming back again as things just seem to continue on and on, to God, a day is no different than a thousand years. So humans think it’s been a long time since Jesus said he was coming back again, but to God, it’s not a long time because he is not bound by time. 5. Then we are told why Jesus hasn’t come back yet. “The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance” (2 Peter 3:9). God will decide when he will return, but in the meantime, people need to hear the gospel as it’s not his will “that any should perish.” Tomorrow I’ll wrap up with three final reasons why this New Testament passage doesn’t mean the days in Genesis aren’t ordinary days.

@LBC If the Kings's visit is designed to placate Trump and make him more friendly to us it's obviously a waste of time. We should not be sending the King to caress Trumps ego. It's a terrible position to put the King into, demeaning to him as well as the government.

King Charles's US state visit confirmed - as Trump says USA 'won't be there to help' Britain lbc.co.uk/article/kings-…
