I found what I will fight for, join me.

@MatthewBockholt He claimed an angel helped him translate it, and it then needed over 2000 corrections. Also the 11 witnesses...well as bunch left the church. Now it seems to me if you witnessed this for yourself you'd never leave the church. Jesus' witnesses died for what they saw.

It's always fascinating to me when religious people use the same logical fallacies against my beliefs that atheists use against religion. Argument from incredulity, for anyone wondering.

@Mormonger But a bunch left the church, tells us everything we need to know

Do people not know that 11 men signed sworn statements affirming that they saw or handled the plates and never denied their testimony?

@OrigensAdvocate We don't share the same views actually, you don't believe Jesus and God are the same, the bible clearly states they are, and that whoever doesn't believe this will die in their sin. So.

@TruthWithKirby Probably because we are Christan. We share every defining point from the bible. The stuff we disagree on is exter-biblical on both ends.

"Mormons are 'white Muslims'" = "I don't know anything about Mormons or Muslims"

@OrigensAdvocate I don't mind seeing stuff from Mormons, it's the "our religion is christian" crap I'm tired of. It's all anyone's talking about.

@TruthWithKirby If you don't comment nonsense on mormon posts, maybe the algorithm will stop showing them to you. Just a thought.

@RealCandaceO You're still milking this? Get a grip. He was killed by israel, then it was a trapdoor, then it was something else, then it was that plane that had something to do with it, then you've loosely accused tpusa. Nutjob.

Should I release more of the text chain tomorrow?

@wmallen2024 I think you missed a key point. Being gay is fine, having homosexual relations is not. Every man wants to sleep with as many women as they can, it's hardwired into us, but you need self control not to. (A sin as well) it's the same with being gay, you need to control it.

“My name is Maggie. I’m Christian and transgendered.” That’s the silliness I used to utter. I was raised in the church; that makes me a Christian, right? I went to church on Sundays, sang in the choir and gave to the church regularly. Surely, that means I’m a Christian, yeah? I believed in Jesus since I was a child, and I prayed. I tried to be a good person and respect the beliefs of others. As a transgender woman, I too shared my belief in Jesus occasionally, and I honestly believed that God was OK with my lifestyle. None of that made me a Christian. I had no idea what it meant to be a Christian or even how one becomes a Christian. I heard from an early age that Jesus died on the cross for my sins. It was always said cavalierly, and it was no more important to me than my job or a favorite hobby. I heard that by accepting Jesus into my heart, I could be saved. I never knew that wasn’t biblical, and I never understood what I was saved from, and yet… I was ‘saved’ several times in my life… and nothing ever changed. It wasn’t until my late 50s that I heard the true biblical Gospel (Good News). But I couldn’t understand it until I understood some hard truths. No fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. Unless a man be born again, he shall not see the kingdom of God. The wages of sin is death. It is appointed unto man to die once then comes judgement. It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Jesus said, “No one is good, not even one.” We all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Many trans and gay people claiming to be Christians say, “but I was born this way.” Jesus says you must be born again. Many say, “but Jesus associated with prostitutes and sinners.” Yes He did, and He told them to go and sin no more. Many believe Jesus accepts them as they are. Scripture says come as you are and be transformed. But they say, “God is all loving, He wouldn’t send me to hell.” But is He though? All loving? Where does it say that? God is certainly loving, to a magnitude you cannot comprehend, but scripture tells us He is also wrathful, to a magnitude you cannot comprehend. God is kind and merciful, but He is also righteous and just. He is a holy and perfectly just judge and those who die in their sin will be sentenced to eternal punishment. Even if you are not gay or trans or a thief or addicted to porn, or an embezzler, or any other sort of criminal… if you have ever told just one lie or dishonored your parents, or had lustful thoughts, you stand condemned. His standard is perfection. Would it be justice, if God let everyone go? Of course not. We ALL have sinned and have earned condemnation for ourselves. That’s the bad news. But God loves us so much, that He sent His son Jesus to live a sinless life, and be falsely accused and convicted of crimes He did not commit. He was beaten and mocked, stripped naked and humiliated, spat on, tortured, and nailed to a cross to suffer an excruciating death… for you. You broke God’s law, Jesus stepped in and took the punishment you earned. Greater love hath no man, than to lay down his life for his friends. Suddenly, the phrase – Jesus died on the cross for your sins – doesn’t sound so cavalier. It wasn’t until I saw my sin in it’s true light and that I saw myself for who I was - a wretched sinner in dire need of a savior, that I was crushed. I knew I had no hope in or of myself, I knew I was destined for eternity in hell, and even worse, eternity apart from God. I saw the world differently, I saw Jesus differently; I knew who He was. He laid down His life for me, and He rose again in victory conquering death. I cried out to God confessing my sins and asking forgiveness. I repented (I turned away from sin and toward God) and put my faith in Jesus. And then… the Holy Spirit took up residence in me and completely transformed me. I hated my lifestyle, I wanted to be pleasing in God’s eyes, I wanted to detransition for the Glory of God. I didn’t give up anything to become a Christian. I didn’t stop sinning to become a Christian. I didn’t detransition to be saved or gain favor. I didn’t do any works at all for salvation. I simply repented and trusted Jesus. Then, I was washed clean. I was made new. I was given a new heart with new desires, and that’s why I despised my lifestyle and it is why I detransitioned. For by Grace you are saved through faith, that not of yourselves; it is a gift of God, not of works so that no one may boast. So David, you cannot be gay and a Christian. You can be one or the other, but not both. Saying that you are both, tells the world that you are not. I urge you to consider the Gospel, the bad news and the good news. If you do not see yourself as sinful and if you do not see yourself as condemned, you’re missing something huge. David, open your heart, pray that God gives you ears to hear, and go read the Gospel of John. I will pray for you and that you will see the truth.

@sola_chad All about that 2020 NASB myself

Which translation of the Bible do you use?

@joshnaa2gez The bible does say this yes.

From what I’m gathering from Creedal Christians, if you don’t believe in the trinitarian doctrine found in the creeds, you aren’t Christian, and all non-Christians go to hell. Which is bad news for all of the people who thought they were Christians for the first 300 years after Christ died! Imagine being murdered by Emperor Nero in 64 AD, thinking you were a martyr for Christ, only to discover yourself in hell because you didn’t know about the Trinity! And don’t even get me started on literally every good guy in both the old and new testaments! I guess that whirlwind that brought Elijah up to heaven must have actually dropped him off in hell! Dang… this is distressing…

@AshFarms Try a pentecostal church! Sounds like the second one you went to

Ya know, i have a problem with this. LDS preaches humans can become gods, which echoes the first lie ever told. Quit literally pushing Satan's lies, and then calling yourselves Christians is a crazy move.

@AshFarms It's all the word of God and these people are not to be taken seriously. The best bible translation is the one you'll read, period. As a side note, if you ever want to get into super deep bible study, THEN there is a right one - NASB (2020 personally) or ESV.

I appreciate Stacy. I don't even know if she's talking about me. But you guys should hear what she's saying. Christians shaming me for the version of the Bible I bought, for how I live my life at the moment and for even talking about it on the internet makes me never want to mention it on here again. I appreciated the authentic coversation we were having, but the DM's and comments are ruthless. Not from people saying "stay away from Christians," but from Christians. The worst is the way they fight with each other and how mean they can be over perspectives when no one knows for sure that they are exactly right on interpretations of the Bible. It's like Christians want to repel people like me from even dipping our toes in. Don't DM me your shamings. And seriously, all told - the only group that I haven't gotten a cruel comment or DM from is the Mormons. I'm not saying they're right about anything, but at least they are kind.

@1cor127 The best translation is the one you'll read, period.

Saints…if a non believer says she bought her first Bible because she wants to learn about Jesus, DO NOT tell her she bought the wrong version!!! It’s the Word of God, it’s alive and active and sharper than any two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12), so there is no wrong version for her to buy! Not only that, but this kind of behavior is what pushes people away from Christianity. Encourage people to read the Word, don’t “correct” them on which Bible they bought! Quit repelling people who are genuinely seeking to know Jesus!

@DistractedRage @MattWalshBlog Nothing to say eh?

@TruthWithKirby @MattWalshBlog lol, no one is saying to excommunicate him, we are merely saying maybe don’t hand out awards to people who spent their entire career systematically dehumanizing the unborn in order to push their wholesale slaughter. That isn’t too much to ask.

If a politician supports abortion, he is not in line with Church teaching to any meaningful degree whatsoever and should not only be disqualified from “lifetime achievement” awards but should obviously be excommunicated. Abortion is not just one issue that Catholics can have differing opinions about. To support abortion publicly — much less to fund and facilitate it (as Durbin has for 40 years) — is to be in a state of grave mortal sin and open rebellion against God and the Church. It should not be difficult for the Pope to say this, or for any leader in the Church to say it.

@stackerco The bible does not say this is the only requirement. In fact it gives great detail on the requirements aside from this.

Evangelicals: Do you really think the God of the Universe’s sole requirement is to confess his name and believe a creed that was determined 200 years after Jesus died?

“No archaeological evidence for the Bible?" Here’s some. “Hittites were made up” → Full Hittite civilization excavated (Hattusa). “David was a legend” → Tel Dan Stele says “House of David.” “Pilate didn’t exist” → His name carved in stone at Caesarea. “Israel didn’t exist that early” → Merneptah Stele mentions “Israel” in 1200 BC. “Bible was rewritten too much” → Dead Sea Scrolls show astonishing textual accuracy over 1,000 years. Noah’s Ark — Animal Objection Is Based on a Wrong Assumption The Bible doesn’t say “two of every species.” It says “kinds” — closer to biological families, not modern species-level categories. Estimated land-animal kinds needed: ~1,000–1,600, not millions. Most animals are small — average land vertebrate is rat-sized. Even modern livestock transport moves thousands of animals in similar volume. The real debate isn’t “not enough room” — it’s logistics (feeding, waste, disease)… which moves it into miracle vs. naturalism, not math vs. reality.

"tHeRe'S nO aRChEoLoGiCaL eViDeNcE tO sUpPoRt tHe BoOk Of MoRmOn!" Yeah? There's also no archeological evidence of God, earth being created in 6 days, all mankind descending from 2 people, all animals descending from the few that could fit in the ark, etc. Why do "Christians" use Atheist arguments?

@Manhattva It's okay I went and followed so you don't make a difference

Blocked.

@BasedMikeLee @PastorMark I'm gonna follow him

I’ve now blocked @PastorMark Feels liberating Please join me Who’s in?

@DistractedRage @MattWalshBlog What?

@UteNationAlum The LDS are perpetrators of Satan's lies. I recently made a large post about this, go read it.

Quite the damning list. Creedal Christianity is depressing. In contrast, The teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is full of love and hope. “Pastor” Mark once again strengthening my testimony in Christ’s restored gospel. 🙏🏼
