@EricLDaugh Take the helm @BasedMikeLee, @LeaderJohnThune must be voted out, he's incapable of prioritizing the work or getting it done! It's the only WAY!

🚨 BOOM: Sen. Mike Lee just told Leader John Thune NO MORE VACATIONS until the SAVE America Act is done
"We're back. We've got to get this done. We've got to get it done FAST." 🔥
"Let's face it, taking a two-week recess with the SAVE AMERICA Act undone, with the Department of Homeland Security remaining unfunded, was a mistake. Regardless, what's done is done. Some of us tried to prevent that from happening."
Time to surge to the floor for a talking filibuster!

@PicturesFoIder I'm not sure if she knows it, but I'm pretty sure she married a homo.

Your constantly saying promiscuous is the same as whore shows you either have little knowledge of the semantics or you're just being adamant. But in case you want to know the difference: promiscuous is having multiple sexual partners. Whore is having sex with men to be PAID. Again, whore is very derogatory. A good English Dictionary will make that clear.

Multiple times, @michaeljknowles said I called my wife a whore in my post (as did @benshapiro), even though I wrote "My wife was formerly promiscuous."
To my surprise, upon checking the original video, the top comments are now overwhelmingly condemning their response to our story of God's redemption (screenshot below).
Michael is now doubling-down on it on X by saying that me writing that she was formerly promiscuous is the same as calling her a whore (pic attached).
Here's the three primary issues with them saying I called my wife a whore, and why Michael's argument is wrong.
1. It isn't true. I never used the word "whore," so he shouldn't be telling people I called my wife this.
2. We instinctively know that "she was formerly promiscuous" carries with it much more grace than "she's a whore," because "promiscuous" is an adjective describing her past, whereas "whore" is a degrading noun, a slur used to speak harshly of women. They're similar words, but different in meaning and intent. They are not the same.
3. Crucially, they spoke in the present tense: "He called her a whore" (implying this is a present-tense sin issue, something she still is). I spoke in the past tense: "My wife was formerly promiscuous."
This tense difference matters immensely, especially when people greatly struggle to separate one's life before Christ from their life after Christ. The world can't fathom that such change can happen.
But the Bible is clear: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, and see, the new has come!" (1 Cor. 5:17).
Or consider Galatians 2:20: "I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me."
That old Ashley is dead.
It's because of these truths that my wife and I choose to boldly, confidently, and without giving loads of explicit details, share the sins that stained us before Christ with others (for I am indeed a great sinner and struggle in many ways, too).
Our story isn't shared frequently, but at times and when fitting, so that other believers can be encouraged, other sinners can be given hope of redemption and forgiveness, and the lost can hear the good news of the gospel: that though all are headed for Hell for their sins (1 Cor. 6:9-10), anyone who repents and places their trust in the resurrected Christ will be saved (John 3:16, 18). Regardless of how much you've sinned, you can't out-sin the mercy of God. You can be washed clean, your shame and guilt removed, and you can have a brand-new identity in Jesus Christ (Titus 3:5-6). And we’re living proof of this!
I have no ill will against Michael, Ben, @andrewklavan, or anyone else for their remarks and mocking, nor do I demand an apology. I forgive them. My greatest desire for them and anyone who's following this story, as well as God's, is for them to "be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth" (1 Tim. 2:4).

@Wotr313752 @michaeljknowles @TrevorSheatz @benshapiro You do realize that the word "whore" has multiple definitions?
