@EngiGaming125 @AztecCrewElder @TRussHunter So that information isn't there but you are sure it existed?

@AztecCrewElder @N704EK @TRussHunter No, but we do have the original radio messages that, from what I understand of them, originally contained radio traffic confirming the ships identity as American but still being given the attack order before the recordings were censored to remove that info

Massie is a far better man than Trump.

@HVNYrefugee @RepThomasMassie His former district.

One of these is @RepThomasMassie’s district in north Kentucky. The other is near the border of Poland in northeast Slovakia. But which is which?

@jtab212 @MethodMinistry @imcoolchristian He didn't even take one Sunday off.

@MethodMinistry @imcoolchristian In perpetuity?

A good time to remind you that Tobias was right and Eschatology Matters was wrong and never should’ve taken his video down. Cowards go to hell. Don’t be a coward (Rev 21:8).

Most of Massie's supporters don't even know he's lost yet. It's only 5:46 AM in Pakistan.

@lsanger There is a reason Mormons love him so much.

@lsanger I appreciate you taking this on. In the cult's defense though, Heiser said a lot of contradictory things and he was often vague. For example: he would declare his ideas are not supportive of Mormonism and then go on to teach things that completely support Mormonism.

I am DONE correcting the many, many mistakes of Heiser's fan club. Wow. Just shoot me if I ever gain followers like that.

@HVNYrefugee What is the secret to this? Where you completely immune to the influence or did you struggle?

The State University of New York at New Paltz: Me and like 3 others out of dozens of kids coming from conservative, Christian homes that I knew personally. Almost everyone either deconstructed or embraced some kind of woke-Christianity.

@5Solas2 But he said he isn't a gnostic so...

"The forgotten mission of Jesus Christ" I don't see how people are arguing that he's not a Gnostic when he literally puts it in his book titles that he's uncovering something that has been lost or forgotten.

@DrawNear_ If the books of Moses were actually written during the Babylonian captivity and weren't inspired by God in any meaningful way then it would make sense to think they were just reacting to the surrounding religions. Annus's work would be relevant.

This is only controversial if you’re trying to make controversial. Commentaries should engage the best available data, and if new data is available, older commentaries are by definition obsolete. It doesn’t make the old commentaries wrong, just incomplete. That’s why we keep getting new and updated commentaries.

Me in real life, distracted from my re-reading because all the Augustinians are crashing out online like they just discovered this exists.

@5Solas2 Heiser was a total heretic. He said every commentary on Genesis before 2012 is obsolete and is interpreting scripture out of context.

Michael Heiser justifying the elitist, pseudo-Gnostic hermeneutic he uses to reinterpret Scripture—a hermeneutic which apparently requires modern scholars to recover the Bible’s “real meaning” after the church somehow remained blind to it for nearly 2,000 years: “Seeing the Bible through the eyes of an ancient reader requires shedding the filters of our traditions and presumptions. They processed life in supernatural terms. Today’s Christian processes it through a mixture of creedal statements and modern rationalism.” “There’s no doubt that Psalm 82 can rock your biblical worldview. Once I saw what it was actually saying, I was convinced that I needed to look at the Bible through ancient eyes, not my traditions.”

@writeontheedg3 I don't care what liberal scholars say. Sorry.

@JoshuaBarzon Unseen realm

You get to pick one book to never have been written. Which one are you picking?

@lsanger 1 and 3 are true.

Which of these, if any, do you think are true? (1) Michael Heiser believed in multiple gods. (2) Heiser believed in multiple elohim but not in multiple gods. (3) Belief in multiple gods is called polytheism. (4) Heiser (and those agreeing with him) are polytheists. (5) “Monotheism” should be redefined to include belief in multiple gods, as long as only one is supreme. (6) The traditional Christian view—that there is exactly one God and no other gods exist—is wrong about what the Old Testament teaches Be honest.

@shane_chaffin @CriminalTube Bullets can ricochet off very soft dirt if the angle is low. I tested it and it was surprising how much energy some of the rounds still had.

@CriminalTube Friendly advice, fire your warning shots into soft ground, if you can. (Soft earth doesn't ricochet.) Bullets eventually fall to the ground. When he shot up in the air in that wide arc, there was a chance he could have injured an innocent party far away.

@HVNYrefugee Finally an easy one. The pic on the right is Washington.

One is southern Chile. The other is Washington State. Which is which?

Palestinianism is the inversion of history where failing at genocide gets treated as a tragedy. Think about how deranged that is. To spend 78 years claiming it was a “disaster” that they didn’t successfully commit genocide. It’d be like the Germans having a “Nakba” day.

@DrawNear_ It could have been an enjoyable book but all the gay propaganda and the pointless sexual stuff ruined it for me. Won't let my kids read it and won't read any other books by the author.

@N704EK Let me know what you think when you're done.

Here's my #1 pick for a book you probably haven't read but should. It's not a Christian book by a Christian author, but it is heavily aligned with the Christian moral worldview, realistically depicting love, sacrifice, mercy, faithfulness, authentic manliness, & devotion to God.

@hannahlape4life @sgruber91 Big Pro Life does not have the same goals as Christians. Christians want abortion to be counted for what it is in God's eyes - murder. Big Pro Life want women to have compete immunity for murdering their offspring. We are not the same.

This is a slanderous misrepresentation of pro-life political strategy—you’re due for some repentance. We have the same goal and the same convictions. Human life begins from the moment of conception and abortion must end. Full stop. “The Pro-life Establishment” is working to pass state and federal legislation that will criminalize abortionists and abortion drugs distributors, and we’re fighting like hell against the abortion drug. Slander is easy. It gets you clicks. But you’re walking in sin and for some reason spending time and energy publicly tearing down and lazily misrepresenting fellow Christians and pro-lifers. If you have serious questions or concerns about one political strategy over another, good. Questions are welcome. But this public slander is getting old, and the enemy is using it to sow discord and division among those who share concern for unborn children.

Pro-Choicer: Women should have legal immunity to kill their unborn child at any point in pregnancy with zero legal consequences, but if she kills the baby after birth, she should be prosecuted. Pro-Life Establishment: Women should have legal immunity to kill their unborn child at any point in pregnancy with zero legal consequences, but if she kills the baby after birth, she should be prosecuted. Yes, it’s the same legal position. And yes, it should make you scratch your head.
