Woke = Socrealism. Yes. Artists are the ones who usher it in and defeat it. This is a great sign.

So where did evil originate? Evil originated where? In heaven? Yes, evil originated in heaven, in an angelic rebellion right under the nose of God. Why Does Evil Dominate the World? — John MacArthur // March 4, 2007 There are people actually who aren’t even that sophisticated; they’re just short answer folks - we hinted at them earlier. You say, “Where did evil come from?” and they’ll say, “Oh, it came from Adam and Eve.” Really? How did it get introduced to Adam and Eve? “Well, oh yeah, that’s right, it came from the snake.” Well, how did the - how did the snake get to a place where he could be embodied by Satan? And how did Satan get to be Satan in which he was tempting people to do evil? “Oh, well, he came from - oh, he came from heaven, didn’t he?” So where did evil originate? Evil originated where? In heaven? Yes, evil originated in heaven, in an angelic rebellion right under the nose of God. You think that was a shock? Then you don’t have a God who is absolutely omniscient. You think God couldn’t stop it once it got going? Couldn’t put an end to it right on the spot? Then you have a God who is not all-powerful. No matter how you deal with it, if you sustain the biblical doctrine of God, God becomes ultimately responsible for the existence of evil. You remember Rabbi Kushner, in the book When Bad Things Happen to Good People? A lot of things wrong with that book. The thing that’s wrong with the title is there are no good people - but let’s grant him his title, When Bad Things Happen to Good People. What he does is reinvent God; He reinvents God. God doesn’t have the knowledge and God doesn’t have the power, so let’s not hold Him responsible for what He doesn’t know and can’t deal with. One writer, Leibniz, looked at this problem and said, “God created the best of all worlds that He could make; He couldn’t do any better.” Really. Zoroastrianism, Manichaeism, other sort of ancient philosophies, said God had to deal with two co-eternal and independent realities, good and evil - co-eternal, independent, that is, always existing. Well, none of these answers is adequate. All these answers come from people who lack a fixed God-centered view of reality, and they have to abandon a biblical view of God. But many of the people who offer these kind of answers declare their faith in the Bible and the God of the Bible, but they expect the God of the Bible to be dragged into a human court, a court of human reason, to be judged by a moral law lower than Himself. Wow. Somehow God is a higher being, but we have a higher law. We’re going to acknowledge that God is the eternal God, but we’re going to hold Him accountable to our understanding of justice. Now, when you boil all this down, there are a number of categories in which theodicies can be created. Let me just give them to you. This is a little seminary class, folks, and hang on. The first category is metaphysical; metaphysical. That is to say, evil is inevitable. It is a corollary of good, it’s necessary, it’s yin-yang. It’s a necessary opposite; if one thing exists, by the very metaphysics of its existence, the opposite can exist as well. It is not that God created evil, it is not that God ordained evil; it is that evil is because good is. It is simply a negation, it is simply a privation. It is the absence of, the opposite of. If you have an infinity, you have a finitude. If you have a good, you have an evil. There’s some truth in that, to some limited degree metaphysically. There is also the more theological approach to that metaphysical idea, and it is this: that because God created humanity good, the potential for evil existed within that creation and man exercising his will chose the evil. So, it didn’t really come from God, it came from man. It didn’t really come from God, it came from Lucifer, who made the same choice in heaven. That was strongly the argument of Augustine and Aquinas in ancient times, and there is truth in that.

I heard this years ago... I called BS.... Not any longer. If you think God isn't working, healing, helping, leading, and teaching TODAY... then you need to open your eyes.... He is right there.... always......

@CollinRugg Shocking to ZERO men in America.

NEW: The allegations that JPMorgan Executive Lorna Hajdini turned her staffer into her “s*x slave” are fabricated, according to the New York Post. The outlet reports that 35-year-old Chirayu Rana is the man who brought the lawsuit. The man accused Hajdini of forcing him to have s*x with her. “If you don’t f*** me soon, I’m going to ruin you. Never forget, I f***ing own you,” he accused her of saying. Hajdini was accused of asking Rana if she could give him oral s*x in the office, saying: “Birthday BJ for the brown boy? My little brown boy.” “I bet your little Asian, fish head wife doesn’t have these cannons,” he accused Hajdini of saying. JPMorgan strongly denies the claims. “Following an investigation, we don’t believe there’s any merit to these claims. While numerous employees cooperated with the investigation, the complainant refused to participate and has declined to provide facts that would be central to support his allegations,” they said. The Post reports that Rana did not even report to Hajdini and that they were only colleagues on the leveraged finance team. “He has tarnished her with a complete fabrication,” an ‘ally’ told the outlet.

@dom_lucre I could be wrong, but … ZERO chance this happened.

🔥🚨JUST IN: The Indian man who filed a sex harassment suit against JPMorgan executive Lorna Hajdini, has been unmasked as 35-year-old Chirayu Rana. Rana alleges he was told: "You really think management wants some Indian boy leading organizations?" “If you don’t have sex with me tonight, I’m going to sabotage your promotion.” “I bet your little Asian fish-head wife doesn’t have these cannons.” "If you don't f*k me soon, I'm going to ruin you. Never forget, I f*king own you." In addition to many other things by his former boss.

A couple of years ago the @INTF_MS (Institute for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts) published their official list of New Testament witnesses, and it’s shorter than last time. Why is that? A 🧵…

This is so epic. Someone create a full 15 minute short film about the Ottoman empire war in Europe. This is some of the best AI film making I have seen so far. Credit: History Reforged on YT

I remember. Sometimes, I like to replay this just to see the lib tears.

Hey @grok, list all the Bible verses that support confessing sins to a priest instead of Jesus. If there are none, say none.

If your child or grandchild is questioning their sexuality- it’s probably because they have been flooded with propaganda. 🔊

It’s happening now in the EU, you won’t be able to work unless you have a FREE Digital ID.. When they say FREE you know something isn’t right, like the Covid vaccine, he will probably throw in a order of fries or a donut, for FREE !

There are only two times in the Bible where God tells Moses NO. But ~1,500 years later... Ladies and gentlemen, the Bible is AMAZING.
