Index thread. I want to pin more than one thing, so I will pin this thread and reply to it with things important enough to place at the top of my Twitter page.

I've reached the point in faith where I have to repent for having endorsed gun ownership. I doubted whether it's literal that Jesus said you would die by the sword for using it. You would, because you are supposed to have faith instead. It protects you from everything already.

@Marvel0usJesus Pretty much anything you pray for can happen, if it's something good.

Jesus said, "whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them and you will have them." Mark 11:24

Entering the faith has given me a connection to people I've never had before, and I had no idea how words and feelings affect other people, because I had never felt them before. It's not that I never tried. I did; God hides from people for their benefit sometimes.

I want to openly apologize to everyone where I've started from the presumption that it should be obvious that they are wrong, where I directed anger or self-righteousness. It's not a faith-oriented way to be, and not Christian either.

The main consequence being that I'm going to stop being angry or self-righteous at people whom I disagree with, and I will respect that they might have a reason I can or can't understand for thinking what they do.

which are entirely justified from their perspective, and that faith is a uniting element which a person can appeal to to obtain understanding of another. There may not even be an explanation you can understand, but you should keep an open mind; that it makes honest sense to them.

I've gradually found Jesus over the lest 12 or so years, and in doing so, I've arrived to paraphrase two passages; "A house divided cannot stand" and "the father's house has many mansions". It's been vividly illustrated to me that people can have wildly divergent beliefs...

@TheKingDream @Diane_Warren I didn't realize you were a mind-reader, given that she said no such thing. You did.

How can there be 24 writers on a song?🙄

@HeineKapp We know everything eventually works out, it's a question of how much joy or its opposite we will find on the way.

God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect apart from us. Hebrews 11:40

You don't understand that life is eternal, death is a process which can go on forever, and that you never finish, until you do the right the thing, and then you truly live. You've created a mad slave-driver with a wrathful scourge when you could have simply obeyed a rod and staff

Whoever invented such a device had the depths of arrogance. They have doomed justice to man's nature, permitting his oversized brain to crush his tiny and nascent conscience. This is murder rendered invisible and deniable, and the worst among us will commit invisible genocide.

I'm seeing RF spikes at another residence associated with me, accompanied with diffuse burning sensations. Where the equipment is located to do such a thing over here, I could not guess.

@ScottAdamsSays Matthew 6:34

True story

@MarkMcCarron4 In simple terms, worry about what is right, and not about yourself. You are in God's hands and suffering comes only from indifference and error.

@MarkMcCarron4 The earth gives fruit at first, but it becomes a burial place; it is no loss to you to part with the dead, nor is it such to be rejected by it. Luke 9:60 makes no sense until you arrive here, and then it is a comfort to know that when the world goes away, you have only just begun

Dr Baloh does get drawn into commenting about things outside of his expertise around the specifics of #havanasyndrome, but it's clear that the significance of certain features eludes him. He also references MPI, but fails to apply similar standards to pathogenesis.

Remember when making fun of people wasn’t a near death experience? Fun times…

@HouseGOP @SteveScalise I read that as 100 years, for some reason, because that's what it feels like.

“Help is on the way.” With less than 100 days until Americans make their voices heard against House Democrats’ failed agenda, House Republicans are preparing to roll out a bold ‘Commitment to America.’ Read more from @SteveScalise ⬇️ foxnews.com/opinion/100-da…

@_CSpurgeon_ What about when we can trace his hand?

God is too good to be unkind, and He is too wise to be mistaken. And when we cannot trace His hand, we must trust His heart.

It's obvious that our military deserves celebration for defeating terrorism, but I also want to take a moment to say a word of remembrance in honor of Todd Beamer who refused to go down without a fight, and in honor of his last words.
