@ThoughtfulSaint For man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart... But the right kind of heart, tends to bear the fruits of right theology. Hence by their fruits you shall know them... The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has a LOT of really good fruit!

Obsession with orthodoxy (right theology) over orthopraxy (right practice) is cancer. But a true disciple of Christ prioritizes orthocardia (right heart) over all. So many twitter bros have their priorities all mixed up.

@Wayne6428052844 @FlyingPhoenix86 @Nero So why did they fight translations of the Bible into any language but Latin? And kill people who tried? Latin is not special, and isn't the original, so it would be less accurate or complete... So preserving the word can't be it... BUT, The true answer is 1965. After 1600 yrs.

@NoMoreMrNiceGI @FlyingPhoenix86 @Nero That's how it's always been.

The Bible should not be read by the laity and never in the vernacular

🚨 WOW! Spencer Pratt just dropped this after they stole the LA mayoral election from him — he’s about to drop BOMBSHELLS he was saving for the general election! “We have some recordings of one of your insulting candidates doing and saying something that would make her resign in shame.” 🤯 “I was saving it for the general election. Go ahead and pick your demon, certify your choice, and then you get to see it.” “You think you can get rid of me that easily?” “Karen, Nithya, ask yourself, is it possible that one of your employees may have a recording of you doing or saying something that would force you to resign in disgrace?” 🔥🔥🔥 “I'm going to be lighting you up every single day and now I don't have to worry about offending CNN viewers.” “I don't have campaign laws hamstringing me now. It's WAR. It's zero hour for Los Angeles!”

This is my last post on X, and I wanted the last word to be one that matters. The very first commandment God gave in Eden was to multiply and replenish the earth, and the Restoration placed the family at the burning center of the whole plan: the unit of the celestial kingdom, the reason for the temple, the very shape of God's own life. So when a covenant people quietly stop bearing the next generation, they have not merely made the reasonable lifestyle choice the world applauds. They have begun to set down the first and oldest commandment ever given, and a people who set down the foundation should not wonder why the house begins to sink beneath them. The Book of Mormon shows you how it happens, and it shows you in slow motion, over and over, until no honest reader can miss it. A people are delivered and made prosperous. Prosperity breeds comfort. Comfort breeds forgetting. And the forgetting always wears the same face: they come to love the world and its ease more than the covenant and its cost. They set their hearts on riches and on the praise of men, they grow quietly ashamed of the strict and demanding ways of their fathers, and they trade the weight of the covenant for the lightness of the age. The empty cradle belongs to that same trade. Children are heavy, and faith is heavy, and sacrifice is heavy, and everything the covenant has ever asked is heavy, and a people who have fallen in love with their own comfort will not carry what is heavy for long. So do not mistake what the numbers are telling you. The collapsing birthrate of the Saints is not a sociological curiosity to be smoothed over with better messaging. It is the scriptural pattern arriving on schedule, the visible fever of a covenant people grown too comfortable to bear the weight of their own future. A people who will not have numerous children have, at the deepest level, stopped believing the future is worth filling with their faith, and a people who no longer believe in their own future are already in the early stages of not having one. This is the warning the scriptures have been shouting across the centuries, and we have been too soothed to hear it. And yet the warning has always carried its mercy folded inside it. Every cycle in the Book of Mormon that ended in destruction could have ended in repentance instead, and some did, and the difference was never circumstance. It was never the size of the threat or the strength of the enemy or the hardness of the times. The difference was always one thing only: whether a people, warned, would humble themselves before the comfort finished its work. We have been warned. Your prophets at general conference warned you time and time again. Do not forget their words. The cradle is the warning made visible. The only question left is the one the scriptures have put to every people who ever stood where we now stand. Will we turn, and take up the weight again, and build a future worth being born into. Or will we stay comfortable, and go the way of every comfortable people the record has ever buried. That is my last word.

The entire Iran conflict still cost LESS than the Minnesota Fraud. Let that sink in. Time for real accountability in Minnesota.

Horrific scenes out of Burnley, England today as a 17yr old girl is stabbed in the throat in broad daylight.

Requiring FISA to get a warrant is the moderate approach. I think we should End FISA all together. The fact we have so many members of Congress openly defying the 4th Amendment rights of American citizens is absolutely disgusting.

@liz_churchill10 @poconomtngirl "were" manufacturing... Let that marinade for a second... Who said they stopped manufacturing them. Who says that they don't release their "product" onto the public as retaliation... We're not out of the woods yet kids.

Oh. My. God. Look at what these Biolabs were MANUFACTURING… Anthrax, Tularaemia, Tuberculosis, Swine Fever, New Castles Disease, MERS, SARS, Marburg and Ebola THERE MUST BE ARRESTS

It's ZERO HOUR for L.A. and ELECTION FRAUD Spencer Pratt just confirmed he has secret recordings to make Karen Bass and Nithya Raman resign in disgrace. Pratt is about to light up L.A. and election fraud like you have never seen before!

@the_evermind @jakep_26316 @TeeplesCY I get your point, but it's not entirely accurate... Here's what was said in the epistle of James... Clearly works are important... My understanding, is that faith isn't just a mere anemic belief, but rather a belief strong enough to get you doing the works.

@jakep_26316 @TeeplesCY TBF, “works” in the NT typ mean acts of the Law-eg sacrifice-not “good acts” like loving neighbors. The Law is dead, but Christlike acts strengthen relationships with Christ. But if no good acts, then no relationship with Jesus & no salvation.

Everyone wants to “explain” Mormon beliefs. But nobody wants to “explain” these Mormon outcomes:

@DeptMemes @TeeplesCY If this "fig tree" is "cursed"? Why is it still bearing so much good fruit... Like lots of it... And it's also "most sweet, above all..." And desirable "to make one happy"... Like it came off of the tree of Life, In Lehi's dream. And why does your "fruit" taste so bitter?

@TeeplesCY Guess you never read Jesus and fig tree story huh? We rebuke your demonic cult in the name of Jesus Christ the Lamb of God. The same words used to mankind Genesis 3:5 are false we will NOT BECOME like God. There is no one like God, beside Him or equal. 1 Samuel 2:2. Mark 11:12-14

@marcnich @TeeplesCY It's a good thing then that members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are truly born again... Starting with baptism and the gift of the holy Ghost... And then, through striving to keep God's commandments out of love for him, continual repentance, etc...

@TeeplesCY But let's focus on what really counts yeah, because all this will pass away, all vanity sayeth the preacher... John 3:3 (KJV) Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Karmelo Anthony’s family says they have no money left for an appeal. That's raising a lot of eyebrows considering more than $650,000 was donated on his behalf. Many people contributed believing the money would be used to fight his legal case. Now, after reports of relocation expenses and an upgraded lifestyle, the family claims the funds are gone. If over half a million dollars isn't available for an appeal, donors have every right to ask where the money went.

Religious freedom is the cornerstone of peace in a world with many competing philosophies. We were privileged to represent The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at the Canterbury Medal Gala hosted by the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania—a fitting venue for celebrating religious liberty. I was honored to offer the invocation at this event. Moral agency, the ability to choose right from wrong and to act for ourselves, is essential to God’s plan of salvation. Religious freedom ensures that people can exercise their agency in matters of faith. We are grateful to be associated with so many wonderful people of faith who we stand with to advocate for religious freedom.

@FlyingPhoenix86 @Nero What year did that change?

@Nero This is a false traditionalism and untrue. Catholics are encouraged to read scripture. regnumchristi.com/en/ask-a-pries…

@Nero The Bible being available in people's own language... and especially now tools that allow for transliteration from the original languages (we're as close to them as we can get)... It was this that ripped power from the apostate church, and gave it back to the people of God.

@Nero "If God spare my life, ere many years I will cause a boy that driveth the plough shall know more of the Scripture than thou dost. (Speaking to king and clergy)" The quote is often paraphrased as: William Tyndale

John Wycliffe is one of my heroes. His passion, conviction, and desire to get the Word of God into the hands of the people. This week I was able to look at our earliest surviving copy of Wycliffe’s English Bible. The Wycliffe Bible was produced in the late 1300s, roughly 1382–1395, making it the first complete English rendering of the Bible, over 200 years before the King James Version of 1611. If you look closely you’ll notice it’s handwritten, not printed. Every copy had to be produced by scribes. This was before printing arrived in England, so owning a Wycliffe Bible meant owning a massive, labor-intensive manuscript. It became a medieval bestseller. More than 250 Wycliffite Bible manuscripts survive, which is extraordinary for a banned or controversial medieval English text. Only about 20 of those are complete Bibles.The copy you see me looking at in this picture — one of two I was able to take a look at — includes Genesis to Isaiah. The other one was a Wycliffe New Testament from 1390. It was risky after 1408–1409 to produce and own one of these. The Archbishop of Canterbury at the time, Thomas Arundel, restricted unauthorized new Scripture translations and public reading of Wycliffe-associated texts. So later possession or use of these copies could become religiously dangerous, especially if linked with the Wycliffe followers, known as Lollards. Also, take a look at the last image, a calendar at the front of the second smaller Wycliffe Bible we looked at, from 1390. At the bottoms of the page the scribe has written: “Anno Domini 1348, in festo Sancti Michaelis Magni, evenit prima pestilentia Londoni” — “In the year of our Lord 1348, on the feast of St. Michael the Great, the first plague occurred in London.”
