@adelethelaptop What about sins that are against God and not against another?

I worded that previous tweet the way I did because it also applies to Protestants who confess directly to God. If we’re not confessing our sin to the one we sinned against, are we truly confessing, or just looking to get the feeling of guilt/conviction off our chest?

In the Bible, we are told to confess our sins one to another. It’s easy to tell a priest you sinned against someone. True repentance is much harder, and much more profitable—go directly to the person you sinned against and confess your sin against them. That’s Biblical.

@DjamarV @blakearcuri @NOLAnews In tax revenue?

@blakearcuri @NOLAnews Because Essence brings hundreds of millions of dollars to the state every year.

@calvinrobinson @Ron172892111531 Jesus called scripture the "word of God" repeatedly. Don't play stupid word games.

In the Bible we see diakonos (Deacons) as servant ministers, presbyteros (Presbyters/Priests) as ordained teachers who preside over the Sacraments, episkopos (Bishops) who excercise oversight (overseers) and the fullness of Holy Orders. Protestant “pastors” are somewhere between presbyteros and episkopos coopting the title of shepherd, but they are not ordained into Holy Orders. They have no Apostolic Succession. The deposit of faith is missing in its fullness. Therefore, when a Catholic or Orthodox Christian refers to a Protestant as “pastor” he is being polite, he is not recognising or submitting to any spiritual authority, as the Church teaches there is none there outside of that which all Christians have in the royal priesthood of all believes (i.e. all fathers are the spiritual leaders of their household.) but not the ministerial/sacerdotal priesthood.

What is the best pilot/first episode of any tv series of all time? I'll go first: Game of Thrones, Season 1 Ep 1 "Winter is Coming"

@Joeinblack Agreed. We can do better than this. x.com/Joeinblack/sta…

In John 17, Jesus prays that all who believe will so deeply united that it compels others to believe. Man made unity is created by force and fear; bullying, shouting and cruelty. Divine unity happens thru prayer and personal conversion only. There is no other way. Unity will continue to elude The Body of Christ as long as we talk more than we pray and as long as we focus our mental, emotional & spiritual energy on changing others. Serve others, change yourself. Pray for unity. #talkedtotheboss

@theblaze Guy in the white truck driving like a fool.

UNREAL: Reporter embedded with ICE in Florida witnesses illegal alien driving a van being arrested. As that arrest was happening, a car crash occurred right nearby. One of the drivers in that crash ALSO turned out to be an illegal alien.

@Huma_Non @theblaze I think the illegal got rear ended.

@theblaze Was a Nice truck How's he paying for the damage he did to the other guy he rear ended... Zip Zero Nada YEAH.... thought so.

In light of Amendment 3 falling short, I want to make it very clear—if our teachers don't get a permanent raise this year, nobody in state government gets a pay raise. I mean nobody.

@JeffCassman @CatholicSmark

@CatholicSmark The pontificate of JP2 was a disaster, by every measurable metric. We need to come to grips with that (and I think we will as the boomers die out).

Maybe the "world changing" papacy of JPII wasn't that world changing. Arguing "it was the council" is an interesting debate, but popes since then have had chances to fix it and have decided not to, been ineffecitve, or made it worse.

@nicksortor Interpreters are standing next to each of them …… interpreting.

LMAO! As President Trump and Xi Jinping walk into the Chinese palace to begin their bilateral meeting, Xi seems to be pointing and showing President Trump the surroundings... BUT: There is NO EVIDENCE that Xi can speak much English at all, so can anyone read his lips and see what he's saying? 🤣

@MattWalshBlog The band Wet Bandits is terribly underrated.

Another point about our cultural decline. We started watching the show Widow’s Bay. It’s really good. Fantastic writing. Perfect blend of comedy and horror. Last night’s episode was legitimately one of the finest episodes of television I’ve seen in years. If this same exact show came out in 2002, we’d probably remember it as an all time classic. But in 2026 most people haven’t even heard of it. It’s a blip on the radar. Another piece of content in the endless sea. You see it, or you don’t, and then it’s forgotten. It’s not that good stuff isn’t made anymore. It’s that even when good stuff is made, we don’t have any shared experience of it. There’s plenty of good music you can find on Spotify, recent stuff, but you experience it in your little algorithmic silo. Almost nothing breaks containment to become a bonafide cultural phenomenon. That’s what made Project Hail Mary so unique. Severance maybe also achieved escape velocity. But even in those cases the escape is fleeting. For the most part we experience the culture through the narrow pathway constructed for us by the algorithm. It might intersect with other people’s pathways, but only briefly. When we feel nostalgia for the Before Times, this is why. It’s not simply that we had a “better” culture back in the 90s or whenever. It’s that we had a culture at all.

@SHAYOCONNORNEWS They need to show an ID.

One of many lines seen around the city today. Dozens of #Louisiana citizens signing petition to recall Governor Jeff Landry.

@FixNOLA @WriteOnMaude Not sure that this bill (HB 219) that this Director is speaking on here falls under the policies you “want most”. What say you?

@WriteOnMaude The policies I most want are those that hold judges, DAs, and even elected officials, in general, accountable. Thankfully, the Jacob Carter Act is a significant step in that direction — on the judges front. Too many judges (and some DAs) are getaway cars undermining the system.

ACLU, VOTE, and similar orgs are ever present to oppose even the slightest bills that hold criminals accountable. But it's not unusual for the Louisiana Conference of Catholic Bishops to join them. Rep. Villio asked Director Costanza about that. #lalege

@FixNOLA According to their website: Continue Restorative Justice Program: Promote legislation in keeping with restorative justice for victims, offenders and the wider community. How do we track what they promote?

@mark_petereit @CatholicCoachP Nowhere in the Bible does the ”Word of God” solely mean the Bible. youtu.be/i2jKCCxVrkA?si…

@CatholicCoachP No Bible-believing Christian thinks Jesus is paper and ink. But Jesus IS the living Word, and Scripture is God-breathed revelation of Him. You can’t separate Christ from the truth He inspired. Rejecting God’s Word while claiming Christ is deception.

Dear ignorant e-Prots: The eternal Word is Christ Jesus. The Bible is the inspired written witness to that Word, given in history. They’re not the same thing. Please stop saying Jesus is the Bible. Please. 😭

@bandupcountin It’s her voice. Voice matters. Guys like Jim Nance are employed over a Pee Wee Herman voice.

I don’t understand the hate for Doris burke genuinely a good announcer

@MasterMaliq God is supernatural, my man.

Christian logic: God is one… but also three… but they’re not three gods… but each one is fully God… My brother in Christ, that’s still three gods no matter how you phrase it.

Tigers manager AJ Hinch after Framber Valdez hit Trevor Story, and benches cleared: “We play a really good brand of baseball here. That didn't feel like it. I'm not judging intent. But I know when you go out on the field in those confrontations, you usually feel like you are in your right. It didn't feel good being out there."

@_CoryBowen @ThomBradley8 ‘You can find verses to support your case, and I can find verses to support my case.” If only Jesus formed a Church to handle such things.

@ThomBradley8 We believe in Christ. We follow Christ. The trinity isn't explicitly taught in the Bible. You can find verses to support your case, and I can find verses to support my case. All you're really saying is we believe in a different brand of Christianity. And we already knew that.

Protestants will continue to say "Mormons aren't Christian" while ignoring the the official name, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This is overlooked primarily because the actual name is the most straightforward, logical name a Christian church could have.

@jasonwhitlock He’s 7‘ 5”. He should be setting up nowhere near the 3 point line.

Everyone wants to talk about Victor Wembanyama's 12 blocks last night, but the real story is how horrendous he was offensively. I don’t want to hear the age excuse, he deserves plenty of blame for this loss
