To all those who deny Christ ever existed even as a man, consider this: A great many opponents of early Christianity wrote about how Christ was a fraud. The pagans, Romans, Jews, etc. all said that he was a magician, a trickster, false prophet. But none said he didn't exist. Why?

@Franklin_Graham @realDonaldTrump There was a halo. It was a golden aura surrounding the false idol. There was a spiritual healing from laying of hands. He was wearing the traditional garments worn by Jesus as depicted in the Sacred Heart iconography. You're deluded.

I had received some questions about President @realDonaldTrump's recent posts, and here are my thoughts: I do not believe President Trump would knowingly depict himself as Jesus Christ—that would certainly be inappropriate. I’m thankful the President has made it very clear that this was not at all what he thought the AI-generated image was representing—he thought it was a doctor helping someone, and when he learned of the concerns, he immediately removed the post. When I looked at the illustration, I didn’t jump to the same conclusion as some. There were no spiritual references—no halo, there were no crosses, no angels. It was a flag, soldiers, a nurse, fighter planes, eagles, the Statue of Liberty, and I think this is a lot to do about nothing. There is so much ill-intended speculation. I think his enemies are always foaming at the mouth at any possible opportunity to make him look bad. And the illustration from someone else he reposted on Truth Social yesterday, I must say that I like the fact that this is a picture of Jesus whispering in his ear, or at least His hand on his shoulder, guiding him. We all need that—we all need to be listening to Jesus. Again, I think there is an attempt to spin this into something that it isn’t. Remember, President Trump didn’t draw this, he didn’t create it, he reposted it on his social media because he thought it was nice—I would have to agree. I’m not a Catholic, I’m an evangelical, but I appreciate how President Trump has defended religious freedom for people of all faiths, including millions of evangelicals and Catholics in the U.S. and around the world. He is the most pro-Christian, pro-life president in my lifetime, and he doesn’t shy away from it. I would hope that the President and Pope Leo can meet at some point, and that the Pope would have the opportunity to thank the President for his efforts to protect religious liberty for Catholics and people of all faiths.

@avpk11 @clashreport Never said he didn't, either, but that aside, it is incredibly cringe.

@clashreport He never said it is from the Bible.

Pete Hegseth quoted a fake Bible verse from Pulp Fiction during a Pentagon sermon.

Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

Israel is our best ally? Let's look at the facts, Bill. Israel has never sent troops to fight alongside the United States. Not once. Not Vietnam. Not Korea. Not even Iraq, when they lobbied endlessly for it. Not Afghanistan. Not Lebanon. Not Grenada, Panama, Kosovo, Bosnia, Libya, Syria, Somalia. NOTHING. Even in this one, Netanyahu declared the IDF would not go into Iran, the same literal day he encouraged us to send our own troops. We have fought 5 nations **at their request** and they didn't help once. The U.S. doesn't have a base in Israel (because they won't let us). But we do have bases in Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, the UAE, Turkey, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Iraq, and Syria. Qatar even pays the United States for us to have a base there, spending over a billion to help us expand it. Israel only let us put a single radar station to help THEM from getting hit by missiles. Mossad gives us GREAT info. Whenever it's beneficial to Israel. That's not being an ally. That's them asking us to do stuff for them. Literally every nation gives us intelligence if it benefits them. Turns out though, Israel doesn't give us intelligence when it's *not* good for them. Israel had advanced notice of the Beirut barracks bombings in 1993. Israel had advanced notice of the TWA Flight 847 hijacking in 1987. The Achille Lauro hijacking in 1985. Operation Trojan in 1986. And the big one, the two Mossad agents who were arrested after celebrating the attack on the Twin Towers on 9/11 whilst watching it go down from a perch which they had pre-established for the show. They even withold intelligence on attacks coming on Israel when it benefits them, like they did in 1973 before the Yom Kippur War and worst of all, when Egypt warned them of the coming attacks on October 7. But worse than the info they don't give is the info they DO give, like the fabricated evidence THEY MADE UP about WMDs that led to the deaths of 4,431 American servicemen and one MILLION innocent Iraqis. They also didn't warn us before an attack on the U.S.S. Liberty, where they poured napalm on our sailors and then gunned the same men down they were waving at on previous fly-bys, while they tried to escape on lifeboats. And they didn't warn us before recruiting Egyptian Jews to plant explosives to murder American and British civilians in the Lavon Affair in 1957 to get us into war with Egypt. That was when the president of AIPAC, if I recall, announced the word "antisemite" would be used for those who criticized Israel during the trial. They were convicted, by the way. Neither did Israel warn us when they were paying Jonathan Pollard to spy on us. They didn't warn us when they were stealing uranium from the Pennsylvania lab to build their illegal nuclear arsenal. They didn't warn us when they had other spies stealing our secrets up to 13 times from 1981 to 2003. I'm pretty sure that's about the time we stopped caring. But by U.S. Law, Israel cannot even be our ally. That's right, it's against the law. We don't care about breaking the law when it's for Israel, granted, but it's called the Symington Amendment (1977) and the Glenn Amendment (1977) which says we cannot provide assistance to a nuclear power who hasn't signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which Israel hasn't done, because it's enjoyed having a gun to our head ever since they pulled their nuclear arsenal out of its cave in 1973, called Nixon, and explained the Samson Protocols to end thee world any time they write a check we refuse to cash. Israel repeatedly defies American requests, announces settlement expansions during U.S. diplomatic visits as a deliberate insult, and has publicly humiliated multiple sitting American presidents, including Obama and Biden. They gave a literal freaking golden pager to Donald Trump right after their pager blew up babies in their fathers' arms, and if that isn't a Goyim Humiliation Induction, I don't know what is. Surely that's not a threat, is it? Of course, it is. And everyone knows it. Allies, Bill, do things like pay for military base expansions. They do things like go to war with you, even when it doesn't benefit them. They do things like get you out of wars instead of into them. Israel isn't an ally. Israel is what you call a liability. And it's time to cut our losses. The best thing we could do for the United States is pull our bases from the Middle East, disable the Iron Dome, and ring the region's dinner bell and let nature take its course.

@fdfdfdfdfjjvgg @TRobinsonNewEra You have no idea what you are talking about.

The new pop is a Marxist, that’s why he is defending Islamo Marxism. I don’t know what has gone wrong in chatolic church to choose him as pop. I wish I would have never seen this. I’m not a Muslim not a Christian, however I love west which is build by Christian’s or cultural Christians .

As the Pope visits mosques and calls for Catholics to "live peacefully with Muslims". These are the walls around the Vatican. Literally built to keep invading, pillaging, Muslims, out.

@PatriciaDelan11 @TRobinsonNewEra Hitler never bombed Rome. What?

@TRobinsonNewEra I visited The Vatican a few years ago & asked My Guide is anything in the Vatican was damaged during WWII. NOTHING was bombed because The Pope made a DEAL with Hitler.

@TRobinsonNewEra These walls have a massive section where you can just walk on through. Which tourists do all day.

@hillbillythings Confirmation can be done in a grave emergency without the full formal process but the priest is going to need to be able to justify it afterward, and he needs to ensure the person is baptized already (conditional may be done first) and that they intend to be confirmed.

What if an invalid, mentally disabled person, person who is terminally sick wants to convert to Catholicism? Do they also have to go through OCIA?

@thevikingdood @CatholicCharm Catechized adults very often don't know much of anything. I'm being educated and trained as a catechist and it's kind of a problem, so I can see the value of these classes, but this one is being very poorly implemented.

@Ender_Octanus @CatholicCharm Catechized adults are already required to know that though... Others have made the argument that these classes are more a gatekeeping method to stop pop culture/fashion baptisms. Must be regional.

If the Catholic Church wants you to baptize your baby then parishes should probably be more welcoming to those babies. Filling out a baptism form and this is so rude 💀 we don’t have to take a class bc this isn’t our first rodeo but what do they expect first-time parents to do if they can’t bring their baby along with them especially if the child is still young and breast-fed? Absolutely crazy to me

@thevikingdood @CatholicCharm In the Church we expect parents to be basically catechized as regards to what baptism is and does because it places certain responsibilities upon them to raise the child in the Catholic faith, so they need to know what that means and how to do it.

@CatholicCharm i have never even heard of a Church that makes you take classes for baptism. This seems fake.

@calvinrobinson I want to apologize for something I said to you elsewhere that was spoken not in the spirit of charity, but of anger. I would DM this but I'm dumb and don't know how DMs work.

I was hesitant at first, but now I cannot remember how I ever got by without an air fryer. Is this what it was like for boomers with the microwave?!

@SimpleBibleGuy @RealAlexJones No, we have one allegiance. To God. As should Protestants, shame what happened to y'all. You are like the Israelites, who demanded a king from God, who was to be your King. It is a state so that the Vicar of Christ need not swear fealty to an earthly king.

@RealAlexJones Roman Catholics have divided allegiance. The Roman Catholic church is a political force that uses religion to subjugate its adherents through fear. Why else would it be a “state” within Italy and have ambassadors to nations. It has NOTHING to do with actual Biblical Christianity

UPDATE: Practicing Catholic JD Vance Responds To Trump's Ongoing Political Feud With Pope Leo XIV "I Certainly Think- In Some Cases- It Would Be Best For The Vatican To Stick To Matters Of Morality & What's Going On In The Catholic Church, And Let The President Of The United States Stick To Dictating American Public Policy!" 🔴WATCH/SHARE THE LIVE ALEX JONES SHOW NOW: x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@NicholasWills20 @RealAlexJones If I want my father to stop driving because he is drunk, it does not mean I want the dog to take over. Opposing the American intervention does not imply support for Iran. Can I say that America should not have invaded Vietnam without supporting the Communists?

I can't believe I used to buy this propaganda I'm glad I'm an independent now and can see through your lies you don't care about the people being hurt and killed by terrorist all because you hate Israel or trump or both its clouding your judgment I don't like trump but supporting Iran's terrorist regime over the people of Iran by ignoring them is evil and I put all of you in that boat including trump all any of you care about is your selves

@BAMTX @RealAlexJones I bet all of your favorite politicians were on Epstein's list. But the only thing you people can say about Catholics is that some of the priests abused children, which was addressed by the Church in the decades following. The same thing happened in every other institution.

@RealAlexJones Love It! The pedophile Catholic Church has many Demonic Obsessions within. Needing many well trained exorcists roaming its secrative hallways.

Israel’s bulldozers are wiping out civilian homes, tourist sites, and hotels in Naqoura, South Lebanon. Not military targets. South Lebanon is being erased — like Gaza before it. This is an American-backed, American-funded genocide.

@OohYaBaba @Ram_K_Swamy @ky_statesman What nonsense. How can you tell me to have faith in a man who blasphemes who will hand us a defeat in the midterms?

@Ender_Octanus @Ram_K_Swamy @ky_statesman Trump won & not going anywhere for 2 1/2 years. Learn to accept him and have faith in what he’s doing.

@ky_statesman Trump’s policies are what they are. Secure border and America first is exactly what he’s doing. By not supporting Trump tou support Democrats now. So sad.

I’m going to be blunt. I’d like to talk about some of the very stupid things that people are saying right now If you’re not catholic, I’m not talking to you. I’m talking to people who say they are Catholic. Let’s start with the talking point about the pope sitting behind walls. Have you been to the Vatican? These “high walls” that were built in the fourth century leave an opening about a half a mile wide so that anyone and everyone can simply walk in anytime. Look at an image of Saint Peter Square you’ll see exactly what I mean. What the heck are you guys talking about with high walls? Would you like them to tear down a fourth century wall so that you think their politics might be more defendable? Would you like a pope that runs about shouting “cry havoc and let’s slip the dogs of war!” is that the pope you want? What mighty army would he summon? How did our invasion of Iraq in the Afghanistan go? How many corpses do we need to pile up until everyone understands that war is a horror. Statistically, more than 99% of the people screaming for war will never be affected by it. Maybe The Pope should call for a crusade? I’m sure all 27 Americans who replied to it would make a huge difference. Your political masters .2 about eight posts to see how bad the pope is. You believe them. He’s given a ton of speeches about Islamic violence, he’s done everything in his speaking power to encourage people toward peace. But your political masters told you different and you followed like good acolytes. Most of our Protestant brothers and sisters love us, Catholics. But the Huxter‘s and the insecure don’t. I’m watching Catholics repeat the talking points of anti-Catholic madman and acting like they have a geopolitical sense greater than that of a man in charge of a world wide institution with 1.3 billion members. Pardon my intensity, but I am very sick of Americans being more formed by right wing and left-wing political commentators then they are by the spirit of the living God. Do you want war? Go fight in one. Stand with me at the funeral of these beautiful lives, shredded and cut short so that your political masters are appeased.

Can we truly start our lives over again? Yes! The Lord’s response, so full of love, fills our hearts with hope. No matter how weighed down we are by pain or sin: the crucified One carries all these burdens with us and for us. No matter how discouraged we are by our own weaknesses: it is precisely then that God manifests His strength, the God who has raised Christ from the dead in order to give life to the world. Each one of us can experience the freedom of new life that comes from faith in the Redeemer. #ApostolicJourney #Algeria vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

@jakedell73 Deists built this country. Your only hope is the Catholic Church because it is the Body of Christ. There is no hope for anyone outside of it.

Protestants founded this country Only Protestants have what it takes to save her Catholics: you left your own failed countries to come here America has been good to you Don’t fail her now
