🚨 Here is a thread of all of the UAP / UFO videos released today by the Department of War.

CBS News said there was no evidence of fraud. The NYT said the Somali community was being targeted CNN said there was "little evidence." Tim Walz said it was “white supremacy” to expose fraud Today: $90M busted and 15 charged. IT WAS ALL FRAUD AND THEY KNEW.

@churchtalkative "I AM WHO I AM" (Exodus 3:14). (John 5:26)Jesus echoes this divine attribute of self-existence regarding Himself: "For just as the Father has life in Himself, even so He gave to the Son also to have life in Himself." God possesses the inherent power of self existence.

How would you answer this; Who created God?

@MDnightMarawder @HoldenCCole @renewingprotest this dude needs your help badly. See thread. I am moving on.

This is confused. No one said the 66 “arrived out of thin air.” The point is that it didn’t arrive by Sola Scriptura. You’re now appealing to councils, study, prayer, and tradition to defend your canon. Fine. But that is exactly the Catholic point: the canon is recognized through the Church, not by Scripture alone handing you an inspired table of contents. Also, “my council is God-breathed” is doing way too much work. Scripture is God-breathed. A council’s decision about which books are Scripture isn’t automatically God-breathed just because it reached the conclusion you already accept. So the question remains: Which council had authority to bind the Church to 66 books? And if councils can identify the canon authoritatively, then the issue is no longer Sola Scriptura. It’s whose ecclesial authority you trust.

Sola Scriptura creates a strange problem. If Scripture alone is the authority, how do you infallibly know which books belong in Scripture without relying on the Church that preserved and canonized them?

@renewingprotest #catholics read this please.

Being "alive" in heaven does NOT equal being able to hear prayers. Jesus plainly teaches: "Abraham is dead, and the prophets" -John 8:52. This means they are not functioning as omnipresent listeners. They are awaiting resurrection, not receiving requests from earth. The Bible NEVER teaches that the dead righteous or wicked can hear the prayers of humans. Ecclesiastes 9:5-6 "The dead know nothing… they have no more reward… their love, their hatred, their envy have now perished." This directly contradicts the idea that saints in heaven are actively receiving communication from people on earth. Saints are "alive to God," not alive to humans. Jesus said: Luke 20:3 "He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to Him."This means the righteous dead live in God’s memory until the resurrection not that they interact with Earth. To twist "alive to God" into “able to receive millions of prayers" is adding something Scripture NEVER claims. The Bible strictly forbids trying to communicate with the dead. Even if someone believes the saints are "alive ," God’s command does not change: Deuteronomy 18:10–12 "There shall not be found among you… one who inquires of the dead." All who do these things are an abomination to the LORD. Attempting contact with the dead righteous or wicked is explicitly forbidden. Catholic theology reframes it as "asking for intercession," but functionally, it is inquiry of the dead, which Scripture forbids. There is ONE Mediator, not many “heavenly prayer partners" 1 Timothy 2:5 "For there is ONE God and ONE Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." If saints could hear and pass on prayers, they would be additional mediators contradicting Scripture. The dead cannot hear or respond only God can. Isaiah 8:19 "Should not a people seek their God? Why consult the dead on behalf of the living?" This is a direct condemnation of the entire concept of seeking intercession from the dead, even holy people. Biblical saints do NOT even accept worship or prayer, even angels reject it. John tried to bow to an angel. The angel stopped him: Revelation 22:8–9 "See that you do NOT do that… WORSHIP GOD." If angels refuse human veneration, how much more would mere humans? No one in heaven is omnipresent or omniscient to hear millions of prayers in different languages simultaneously requires: – Omnipresence – Omniscience – Divine hearing Only God has these attributes. To claim saints can hear everyone’s prayer is to ascribe divine powers to humans, which becomes a form of idolatry. Jesus Himself instructs believers to pray ONLY to the Father. Matthew 6:6, "Pray to your Father… Our Father in heaven…" Jesus NEVER taught: – "Ask Mary to pray for you." – "Ask departed saints for intercession." – "Pray through heavenly beings." Jesus taught direct access to God. The early church did NOT pray to saints. The earliest Christian writings (1st–2nd century): – NEVER instruct prayer to saints. – NEVER describe saints receiving prayers. – ALWAYS emphasize direct prayer to God through Christ. The practice arose centuries later, influenced by Greek ancestor cults, Roman hero-veneration, Pagan household deity traditions. It is not apostolic.

@MDnightMarawder @HoldenCCole This is my final response to you. Intercession is through Christ alone. We also pray for/with the living but not the dead. Next, Christ established His church and gave us the Great Commission. So of course preaching is necessary otherwise the lost will not find Christ.

Hebrews 10 proves Catholics right that access to God comes through the blood of Jesus Christ. Amen. But “direct access to God” doesn’t mean “Christ has no priests, no Church, no sacraments, no intercession, and no members acting under Him.” That conclusion doesn’t follow—i.e., a non sequitur. If Christ’s sufficiency eliminates all participation, then preaching is unnecessary, pastors are unnecessary, baptism is unnecessary, and asking living Christians to pray for you is unnecessary. But you already admit Christ works through His living members. Good. Catholics 100% agree. The disagreement is that you assume Mary and the saints are “dead.” On the contrary, they’re not dead in Christ. God isn’t God of the dead, but of the living. The saints in Heaven are more alive than we are. So asking Mary to pray for us isn’t replacing Jesus. It’s asking a living member of Christ’s Body to intercede. Direct access to God and intercession by the Body of Christ aren’t enemies. They only become enemies if you reduce Christ’s Body to Christians currently visible on earth.

See, Democrats do have to cheat to win just like @realDonaldTrump said...

@MDnightMarawder @HoldenCCole You need to read Hebrews 10:19-22: Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus....let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings. Zero priests required. Direct access PTL!

Christ is 100% all-sufficient. Amen. But “all-sufficient” doesn’t mean Christ refuses to work through His Body. By that logic, no pastors, preachers, missionaries, elders, sacraments, intercessory prayer, or evangelism would be needed either. Why preach if Christ is sufficient? Why ask anyone to pray for you if Christ is sufficient? Why did Paul say he became all things to all people “that I might save some” if Christ alone saves? Because participation isn’t competition. Christians participate in Christ’s mission because Christ chooses to work through His members. That doesn’t make Christ less sufficient. It shows His sufficiency is so abundant that He can share His priesthood, intercession, and mission without losing anything. The Catholic claim is not “Jesus is insufficient.” The claim is that Jesus saves through the means He Himself established.

@MDnightMarawder @HoldenCCole Why preach? Because Christ commanded us to. Why earthly workers? To fulfill the great commission. Christ chooses to work through His LIVING members, not dead ones. I'm asking you why are you praying to dead people (Mary) when you have Jesus right beside you? There is zero reason.

@MDnightMarawder @HoldenCCole No but it gate a person saved (which no doubt you'll disagree). I'll bite, who has this visible authority in your view? And when did they become visible?

This is basically the whole problem in one reply. When asked how the 66-book canon is established, the answer has now become: “Scholars debate it, I disagree with Catholicism, and Jesus personally spoke to me about it.” That may explain your personal confidence, but it doesn’t establish a public, binding canon for the Church. Also, “there is scholarly debate” isn’t an answer. Scholars debate anything and everything. The question is still: Who has authority to identify the canon of Scripture for Christians? And “Jesus told me” cannot settle that publicly, because anyone can claim private illumination. That is exactly why the canon question matters. Without a visible authority, the canon becomes whatever one’s tradition, study, prayer, or personal conviction says it is. That is not Sola Scriptura solving the canon problem. That is private judgment confirming itself.

@MDnightMarawder @HoldenCCole "the Church received, preserved..." You interpret this to mean the Catholic church. This is your assumption. Scripture does not mention a Catholic church, but you know this.

I’m not loath at all. That is exactly the question. Which council? By what authority? Binding on whom? If a council can authoritatively identify the canon, then the question becomes ecclesial authority, not Sola Scriptura. And if the council is fallible, then it cannot give a binding canon. Also, “my council is God-breathed” is not an argument. Scripture is God-breathed. A council isn’t automatically God-breathed because it reached the canon you prefer. The Catholic answer is straightforward: the Church received, preserved, recognized, and authoritatively identified the canon. Your answer seems to be: “A council decided it, but not the Catholic councils, and the right council is the one that agrees with my 66-book canon.” That isn’t Sola Scriptura. That is selective ecclesial authority.

@MDnightMarawder @HoldenCCole "But that doesn’t mean no one can participate in His priesthood or intercede under Him." We agree to completely disagree. However I will ask you: Christ is 1oo% all sufficient, no? They why on earth would you need anyone to "participate in His priesthood or intercede under Him."

Calling the Catholic Church “spiritually dead” is not an argument. It’s a personal impression. Also, nobody says there are many ultimate priests or many ultimate mediators. Jesus is the one High Priest. Jesus is the one Mediator. Amen. But that doesn’t mean no one can participate in His priesthood or intercede under Him. If asking another Christian to pray for you doesn’t compete with Christ, then asking Mary or the saints to pray for us doesn’t compete with Christ either. That is intercession, not replacement. And “we should never eat a literal Jesus” is a strange thing to say when Jesus Himself said, “This is my body,” “This is my blood,” and “unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you.” The Eucharist is not cannibalism. It is Christ giving Himself sacramentally, as He promised. The issue here is not that Catholicism has too many mediators. The issue is reducing Christ’s own sacramental and ecclesial gifts to competition with Christ.
