@cybrdave @wholemars Only once did I have my car back into my garage. I wish for a learn button and you teach it certain types of maneuvers. I can see how the fleet can benefit from this, I’m sure what ever small maneuvers people teach their Tesla’s, they can be applied elsewhere.

@potrepka @BishopJaxi Love that. I’m blessed to have a wife that loves God & we have been blessed to share our biggest moments of where we have missed the mark with each other. Very challenging so I agree it is more difficult to do in person. However, I truly thought confessionals were divided rooms.

Have you tried admitting your deepest, darkest secrets out loud to another person? Now imagine that person communes with God daily and is praying for you and listens to you without any judgement. God rejoices every time someone makes a good Confession because it means one of His children is coming home.

Catholics confess directly to God. Protestants attack the priest as a "middleman" because sacramental confession requires what their private version avoids: contrition, accountability, and the humiliation of actually naming your sin. The Bible says to confess your sins to one another. Christ gave His apostles authority to forgive and retain sins. It does not teach "go hide alone, say a quick prayer, and call that repentance." A quick "God forgive me" costs nothing. Real confession humbles you, exposes your sin, and demands that you actually turn away from it. Something the majority of Protestants simply do not want.

The Catholic Church doesn’t want you to know this, but you can confess your sins directly to God without their middleman. x.com/breesolstad/st…

First of all, allow me to correct you by saying, er don’t confess to the priest. We confess to God through the the priest who is acting as Christ’s minister. Second, now that you understand, try it, or better yet, go in and sit in front of the priest face to face like many of us do.

@Protestia 1) this is not the gospel of Mark… 2) Jesus is answering, “who is my neighbor” and he replies even the Samaritan… He is saying that’s your neighbor too… love them. He did not say the Samaritan was going to receive salvation. So she is lying or made that quote up on accident

"(Saying) you have to claim Jesus as your Lord and Savior or you won't get to heaven makes no sense." Rev. Anna Flowers of the United Church in Walpole argues that "I am the way, the truth and the life" is NOT literal, & that there are many valid religions and ways to Jesus.

@DavidFischer 1st ill say there’s not a right or wrong way. I see a lot of people that say start with the New Testament and I would disagree. Perhaps if you’re truly exploring and have no idea who Jesus is that might make sense. However, understanding who Jesus is requires the Old Testament.

The seven books are 1 and 2 Maccabees, Tobit, Judith, Sirach, Wisdom and Baruch. In addition, the Books of Daniel and Esther are slightly longer in Bibles used by members of the Roman Catholic, Eastern Catholic and Orthodox Churches. However, the term "keep" here would be most appropriate as they have been accepted as Scripture since the year 382 (The council of Rome). While over the years there have been individuals who disagreed about which books should be in the Bible, even ones that Protestants accept, the Catholic Church has accepted all 72. The first major change to that came after the protestant reformation. However, even during the early years of that, the books were still included in protestant Bibles, but labeled "deuterocannon" or "second cannon". It was only later after that they were slowly removed entirely. All of the books of the old testament in the Catholic Bible were in the Greek Septuagent which was widely used and referenced by the Jesus and the apostles.

Protestants always do this bait-and-switch. The argument is not, "The Septuagint or Dead Sea Scrolls contain a book, therefore it is Scripture." The argument is that the books Protestants later rejected were widely used by Jews and Christians before Protestantism existed, appeared in ancient biblical manuscripts, were read in the Church, and, most importantly, were authoritatively received as Scripture in the Christian canon long before Luther’s rebellion and the endless fracturing that followed. Pointing out that ancient collections also contained non-scriptural writings refutes an argument nobody made. This is not scholarship. It's embarrassing.
Wes Huff@WesleyLHuff

If you’re arguing that “the Septuagint” or “the Dead Sea Scrolls,” both included certain books, and on that basis we must have those books in our Bibles today, then you have a big problem. Both “the Septuagint” and “the Dead Sea Scrolls” are mini-libraries — they include documents considered both scriptural and non-scriptural in their day. 

For example, the Letter of Aristeas, 3rd and 4th Maccabees, the Ascension of Isaiah, the Testament of Job, the Life of Adam and Eve, the Psalms of Solomon, and the Assumption of Moses are all part of the Septuagint collections. The Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs, The Community Rule, recordings of the last words of Joseph, Judah, Levi, Naphtali, and Amram (the father of Moses) were amongst the Dead Sea Scrolls. Few (if any) of these books are considered scripture today by modern Christian or Jewish groups.

Both the Septuagint and the Dead Sea Scrolls are representative of ancient library collections — collections that contained scripture but that were not themselves wholly considered scripture. We today group them in these convenient categories with these helpful titles, but it is a misunderstanding to think of them as, or necessarily representative of, a single thing.

He's still not there yet. I have found Wes to be a pretty effective apologist for Christianity in general, however he continues to hit a brick wall of (purposeful?) ignorance when it comes to Catholicism and Church history. I keep praying that one day the scales fall from his eyes.

The pseudepigraphal literature, including 1st Enoch (typically what we refer to as “the Book of Enoch” — there are 3 but the 1st on is the famous one), operated within a fundamentally different literary framework than modern historical narrative. 1st Enoch is a pseudepigraphal, apocalyptic collection of narratives and visions ascribed to Enoch. This was a genre that deliberately attributed writings to ancient figures to claim authority rather than to deceive readers about authorship. Understanding the genre’s intention requires recognizing its theological purpose. As a collection, 1 Enoch offers a glimpse of what was likely a common worldview during the later 2nd Temple period (1st Enoch almost certainly doesn’t predate this time), which identified the world as an evil and unjust place in which the Jewish people awaited the redemption of God in their eschatological world. The primary message was the soon-coming divine retribution of enemies and the judgment and eradication of evil that permeated the cosmos, with the author’s truth and authority relying on his heavenly journeys during which God gave him divine revelation of the coming redemption of the righteous. Rather than presenting factual history, pseudepigraphal works employed symbolic and visionary language to convey theological truths about divine judgment and redemption. Topics like angels, demons, the spiritual realm, and the coming Messiah are all being fleshed out by this type of work. 1st Enoch offers an embellished textual tradition of Gen.6, and the pseudepigraphal accounts parallel the Septuagintal tradition, reflecting the interpretative biases of the period. This interpretative expansion, albeit not literal reporting, was the genre’s defining characteristic. The New Testament’s engagement with 1 Enoch further illustrates this point: Jude draws from the pseudepigraphal book of 1 Enoch, with Jude 14-16 detailing a “prophecy” made by Enoch regarding judgment on sinners and the ungodly, drawing on 1 Enoch 9:1, Jude cites Enoch not as historical documentation but as authoritative theological witness to eschatological judgment. The pseudepigraphal genre was never intended as literal history; it was visionary theology dressed in ancient authority. The question remains, if we take Enoch seriously as actual history then why not the myriads of other pieces of ancient Jewish a Pseudopigrapha, a vast literary catalogue: the Apocalypse of Abraham, Apocalypse of Adam, Apocalypse of Daniel, Apocalypse of Elijah, Apocalypse of Zephaniah, and multiple versions of Baruch (2, 3, and 4 Baruch) and Ezra texts (including the Greek Apocalypse of Ezra, Questions of Ezra, Revelation of Ezra, and Vision of Ezra)? The Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs represent a major collection, along with individual testaments attributed to Moses, Job, Solomon, Adam, and the Three Patriarchs (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob), why not toss them in as well? All the same genre and vein that Enoch finds itself in. The collection extends to works attributed to David (More Psalms of David), Jeremiah, Isaiah (including the Vision of Isaiah), Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Zechariah, and multiple works attributed to Solomon, including the Psalms of Solomon and Testament of Solomon. The Sibylline Oracles, Eldad and Modad, and the Book of Jubilees also claim ancient authorship. Some of these documents in their earliest iterations are as early as the 3rd century BC (through others the 4th or 5th centuries AD). Sure, read 1st Enoch. But don’t confuse it for something it isn’t.

@EWipper13 @WesleyLHuff You say, “you don’t need to understand all that stuff to understand it”. That’s true but you can’t contextualize what its without understanding what Wes says… What if you read Harry Potter as Non Fiction… You could read it just fine but you might think Quidditch is a real game.

How about it was a work that God ordained and it’s been covered up for centuries by the cabal governments of the world? Because that seems to be the truth. You don’t need to know all that stuff mentioned to “understand” it. You sound like a typical Catholic who says that you need special training or knowledge in order to interpret Scripture. I know you’re Protestant. But you sure SOUND like a Catholic here. (No offense to Catholics who actually read their own Scripture)

@Utah_Nole Well my hope would be that they are more limited now than before. I don’t know that as a fact but logically I think it makes sense that they are more diminished today than they were 5 weeks ago. I guess my point is if it set them back, I’m not concerned with short term gas prices

You dumb shits. The Strait of Hormuz was open before you attacked Iran and gas prices were half of what they are now. Operation Epic Fuckup. Oh, my bad, it was all on purpose to harm regular, middle class Americans.
Karoline Leavitt@PressSec

This is a victory for the United States that President Trump and our incredible military made happen. From the very beginning of Operation Epic Fury, President Trump estimated this would be a 4-6 week operation. Thanks to the unbelievable capabilities of our warriors, we have achieved and exceeded our core military objectives in 38 days. More on that tomorrow morning from @SecWar and Chairman Caine! The success of our military created maximum leverage, allowing President Trump and the team to engage in tough negotiations that have now created an opening for a diplomatic solution and long-term peace. Additionally, President Trump got the Strait of Hormuz reopened. Never underestimate President Trump’s ability to successfully advance America’s interests and broker peace.

Je crois qu'on ne mesure pas ce qu'Elon Musk est en train de construire avec X. Tous les médias de l'histoire ont été couplés à une culture, une langue, une bulle géographique. Le Monde parle aux Français. Le NYT parle aux Américains. NHK parle aux Japonais. Chaque média filtre le réel à travers le prisme de sa culture locale. X est en train de devenir le premier média de l'humanité. Pas d'un pays. De l'espèce. Je le vis en temps réel. Mes posts en français se font RT par des Japonais, répondre par des Brésiliens, citer par des Américains. Des conversations qui n'auraient jamais existé il y a 5 ans. Un libertarien français qui débat avec un ingénieur de Tokyo et un entrepreneur de Sao Paulo sous le même tweet. Pas traduit par un éditeur. Traduit instantanément par l'IA, en un clic. Les bulles de filtre culturelles sont en train d'exploser. Et je pense qu'on sous-estime massivement les effets composés de ça. Quand une idée peut traverser un océan en 3 secondes, quand un argument sourcé posté à Paris peut être vérifié par un économiste à Singapour et amplifié par un développeur à Austin dans la même heure, le coût de propagation d'une bonne idée tend vers zéro. Et c'est catastrophique pour un type d'acteur très précis : les médias qui ont construit leur business model sur le monopole de l'information locale. Ceux qui pouvaient raconter n'importe quoi sur "ce qui se passe ailleurs" parce que personne ne pouvait vérifier. Quand un journaliste français écrit que "le modèle américain ne marche pas", maintenant il y a 50 Américains dans les réponses avec des sources. Quand un éditorialiste dit que "le Danemark prouve que le socialisme fonctionne", il y a un Danois qui explique que le Danemark est 10e en liberté économique mondiale. Le fact-checking n'est plus un département. C'est un effet réseau. Les médias honnêtes n'ont rien à craindre de ça. Les médias qui vendaient une narration protégée par l'ignorance géographique de leur audience vont avoir un problème existentiel. Parce qu'on ne peut plus mentir à l'échelle locale quand le monde entier regarde.
