@KintsugiJin While I don’t agree with the post I do think the story was kind of silly to say in conference. It did have a little cringe to it that seems more a private story not to tell in front of everyone

Dude has no idea what he’s talking about. I literally picked up a food order from the storehouse that was about 25 bags full and barely fit all in my SUV for one family where only three of the kids are baptized out of a family of 10. The poor are a major focus. Mom and dad aren’t even members. They don’t pay tithing. They barely attend church regularly. They’ve had electricity, car repair, and a host of other things paid for as they struggle to survive. They are dirt poor and yet the church does more than any state organization or other church would do in this situation. The church does this in wards around the world every day. I am happy money I’ve paid goes into the funds to pay for this, to build temples, and create a valuable nest egg for the church into the future because I want my descendants to have access and support from this church. If you don’t, that up to you. Give up all your money and be the change you seek. Nobody is preventing you from handing every last cent of yours directly to the poor. I’ll wait..

@KintsugiJin @stackerco So one car being sold because the corporation needs more put into the slush fund? Fascinating testimony. 🤓 As the Savior once said:

Here’s why I am disillusioned with modern evangelicalism. Evangelicalism has failed to appeal to tradition, like the Apostle Paul has commanded us to do. In 2 Thessalonians 2:15, the Apostle Paul says “So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter.” However, many Evangelical Churches have disregarded or even object to historic Christian tradition in pursuit of what they deem to be more enlightening in the modern age. It’s just liberalism infecting the Church. I want to worship Christ with the faith of the apostles.

@MyronGainesX There’s quite a bit of research on what this behavior does to long term relationships. Particularly women, for every man they’ve slept with the odds of being very satisfied in a long term relationship sexually goes down seven percent

I really enjoyed my debate with Dr White last night. I think I was able to expose the moral problems with Calvinist theology (as held by the vast majority of Christians) and I did not feel he was able to offer a compelling response. After I reached out my hand and said “Hey Dr White thanks for doing this” He looked down at my hand and told me I was reprehensible and refused to shake my hand. I was disappointed by this. Perhaps Dr White has ill feelings toward me but I don’t have any toward him and I appreciated the opportunity to engage on the subject of Calvinism.

Quick note on the debate last night against Jacob Hansen, neo-Mormon/Oslerite. I used one term during the debate a number of times, and repeated it with almost every person I talked to afterward while greeting folks: reprehensible. “deserving censure or condemnation.” Irresponsible. Dishonest. And in this case, based upon a clear and obvious prejudice, bias, and animosity, not so much toward me, but toward “Calvinism.” His opening statement was, quite honestly, below Dave Hunt. Seriously. And for those who listened to the debate review we did with Joe Heschmeyer, that was truly surprising. Hansen is smart. He was prepared to address the Papacy. But last night? Nothing but emotional mud slinging. All the standard heart-string pulling “oh its about the babies” tripe that you can find in any corner of YouTube. And the entire night the man did not raise a single verse that I had not addressed, fully, in _The Potter’s Freedom_ a quarter century ago. Yet he did not give the slightest evidence of knowing what I had written, though he quoted from the book. I am convinced Hansen’s “crew” put most of his notes together. At one point he “quoted” Aaron Shafovaloff (who was seated in the back row) and Aaron literally interrupted him, “I never said any such thing.” Before the cross ex Hansen asked to have time to apologize and admitted the quote was “second or third hand.” Then, during cross, he “read” me a quote from _The Potter’s Freedom.” I was sitting right next to him and I asked, “Are there any dots (ellipses) in that quote?” and asked for a page number. I watched him scanning his computer screen like he had never even seen the citation before. He admitted there were ellipses. I said, “Of course there are.” And he never gave me the citation. A kind young lady in the first row happened to have TPF with her, and she handed it to me. So he decided to go on to the next question. My conclusion is others “quote mined” the book and gave him a file with “good quotes to use.” As I pointed out, he never even attempted to refute the exegesis in the book because he lacks the capacity to do so. And he clearly did not read it seeking to understand the position. When he presented what “Limited Atonement” meant in his opening, it wasn’t even close. Jack Chick level silliness. So, I gave him no quarter. I was not going to play “buddy buddy” with someone who showed so little respect for simple honesty as to behave and speak as he did. He is not an orthodox Mormon on any level, and that came out when I tried to get him to at least admit that his god became a god by obedience to gospel ordinances and principles. I wanted to make the point (and did) that a finite god who became a god is insufficient grounding for transcendent principles and morality, hence undercutting the claim of his thesis. Oh, and the first question from the audience to him was whether God had killed every man, woman, and child in Noah’s flood. Not exactly surprising, he rejected the flood story on the basis of “science.” (Joseph Smith accepted the flood story as history). I am looking forward to the video coming out. If you think the cross-ex with Heschmeyer or Austin was “hot,” well…nothing compared to last night. But if you were hoping for a really thought out presentation from the LDS side…nothing. Think of the 1 million “John Calvin was a heretic” videos done by KJVO fundies on YouTube: same stuff. So when you see how I let him get away with nothing in cross-ex, the reason is simple: I knew he was capable of serious interaction, but had chosen the cheap way of dishonesty and misrepresentation, joined with emotional appeals to the audience. I have zero respect for such behavior. None. When I wrote TPF, I showed Geisler the utmost courtesy in researching his position, accurately representing it, etc. Hansen showed me, and the position, and the audience, nothing but smarmy condescension and disrespect. Finally, it is truly enlightening to watch neo-Mormonism, or maybe Oslerism, developing. Why the GAs are not only allowing this, but seemingly, promoting this, is beyond me.

@ThoughtfulSaint Its probably because of things like falsely quoting Aaron. Id encourage everyone to read Dr Whites response to the debate last night and the way Jacob argued. The way you guys tend to engage with Calvinism is very slimy and can't be respected. Just my opinion.

This is a truly frightening speech by a person who is both stupid and evil. I’m happy to hear she was chased out of New Zealand and now lives in disgrace in Australia. She’s a freak, not of nature, but of modern progressivism.

There is literally nothing I care more about in a woman than her long-term bad habits, and her bodycount is a perfect indicator of those. The higher her bodycount, obviously the more careless she is. I don’t want a careless impulsive woman to raise my kids. That’s why it MATTERS.

Khloé Kardashian says she CAN’T STAND when people ask about body counts, calling it a pointless question since no answer will ever satisfy 😲👀 “who the f*ck cares, what does this mean, what does it matter? who cares we have to let go of that”

I’m starting to realize that accusations of ‘white privilege’ come from a place of cope and envy. If white privilege exists, have you ever thought that maybe we receive better opportunities because: - we live in harmony - our neighborhoods are peaceful - we resolve conflict through dialogue - our Wendy’s doesn’t have bulletproof glass - we raise our children - we bring value to society’s table You don’t lack ‘white privilege.’ You are just historically loud, dramatic, violent, and an all-around net negative to any workplace or community. Call me racist. Whatever. But you can’t call me a liar.
