@rootcausesleuth Due to Christ having no sin of his own it takes on a little different meaning than the criminal on the cross next to him and all the other thousands of folks that have been crucified.. but yeah, at the end of the day, HE.. BECAME..A ..CURSE. Exactly like the apostle said

@altobelli_mark No he became a curse for the reason I stated Galatians 3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”

Is there a scripture that says God poured his wrath on Jesus?

@rootcausesleuth Now you're saying he did become a curse, before you said he didn't literally become a curse.. which is it, do the words mean what they mean or do they mean what you say they mean?

@rootcausesleuth No, he became a curse by taking on the sin of his people. Just because it refers to an old testament passage doesn't mean what the apostle clearly said it meant. He became a curse this isn't complicated

Well you are free to sincerely doubt it. 😎🫡 And he did not literally “become a curse”. That’s also a reference to an OT scripture. People were hung bc they were guilty and thus considered cursed. So Jesus being hung on the cross made him “a curse” in the same way. He looked guilty. But he wasn’t

@rootcausesleuth Idk, words have meanings, Forsaken means forsaken last I checked. So yeah I'm going to say he was feeling forsaken

@altobelli_mark And what did he MEAN by what he said?

@rootcausesleuth Furthermore, I sincerely doubt that Jesus thought to himself "well this seems like a good time to quote a psalm" it makes more sense to me that that was the reality at that moment he was experiencing being forsaken because he took on the sin of his people, he became a curse

@altobelli_mark He was doing the normal Jewish method of quoting the first part of a passage to reference the whole passage, thus bringing their attention to the fact that he was the messiah. Did you go back and read the whole Psalm?

@rootcausesleuth Was he wrong, or did he not actually mean it? Because he said the words why have you forsaken me

@altobelli_mark Well, he’s quoting Ps 22 and if you read the whole thing it says that we thought he was stricken by God but he wasn’t. Quoting the first line was a common Jewish method to bring attention to the whole passage. He was telling them that he’s the messiah.

@rootcausesleuth Being actually forsaken by the Father, seems like quite the experience of his wrath to me

@rootcausesleuth Matthew 27:46 NASB1995 [46] About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” bible.com/bible/100/mat.…

@CossmanTodd @swamthetiber25 @Crazypostalbob Only problem with that idea is that he had that same human flesh for 33 years.. only for a few brief moments does the Word say he became sin/curse

@swamthetiber25 @altobelli_mark @Crazypostalbob He is a sin offering but typically the Fathers say him becoming sin is that he took on human flesh and all the affirmities that come with it.

I abhor reformed theology more than just about anything else on Earth. Penal Substitutionary Atonement (PSA) is problematic because it can imply a division within the Trinity, portraying the Father as punishing the Son rather than acting in perfect unity of will and love. It frames forgiveness as dependent on satisfying divine wrath through violence instead of as a free act of mercy, and can suggest God is bound by an external standard above Himself of retributive justice. It also raises coherence issues, such as how Christ’s finite suffering could satisfy an eternal penalty, and moral concerns about punishing the innocent when guilt cannot be transferred. Biblically and historically, PSA is difficult find as well.

@swamthetiber25 @Crazypostalbob The actual word in Galatians is curse...he *became* a curse for *us*. HIS PEOPLE (that devilish reformed TRUTH that you hate)

@swamthetiber25 @Crazypostalbob No, the idea that's being communicated is, in some way I can't fully understand or explain, he became sin, on behalf of his people. You'll find the same truth communicated in Galatians 3:13

@swamthetiber25 @Crazypostalbob I have a question: How do you understand 2 Corinthians 5:21?

@Crazypostalbob I came from reformed evangelism. All we heard about was how angry the father was at Jesus. his wrath poured out on him on the cross. That never made sense. There are many reasons I converted, but was so relieved to know the Catholic Church rejected that understanding .

@Swole_CPA @KobeissiLetter Gold was down 27% from its ATH to its recent low,gdx was due for a nasty shake out after a massive move last year and jan-feb ...we got the nasty shake out,the weak hands are out ...up we go from here...or we go a little lower first,then blast higher!!

@KobeissiLetter 95% of gold miners in a bear market while gold itself is near all-time highs. The miners are supposed to be the leveraged bet on gold. If they're this disconnected, something's broken in the thesis.

Gold stocks are in historically oversold territory: ~95% of stocks in the gold miners ETF, $GDX, are now trading in a bear market, the highest since at least April 2023. This has surged +850% over the last 4 weeks as gold miners have dropped -25% over this period, entering a bear market for the first time since 2023. By comparison, ~90% of stocks in the ETF were in a bear market in October 2023. From that point until March 1st, 2026, $GDX rallied +346%, experiencing one of its biggest bull markets in history. Gold miners have rarely been this oversold.

@PaulSch89319572 @DonDurrett Sure was good to see,it's been a while

@DonDurrett Thoughts on s&p down but gold and silver up today? Sign of starting the decoupling process?

Friday Recap AU: $4494 ($4490 - Last Week) -- (ATH: $5608 -20%) AG: $69 (68) -- (ATH: $121 - 43%) HUI: 731 (638) -- (ATH: 975 -25%) DXY: 100 (99.4) S&P: 6368 (6506) -- (ATH: 6975, YTD: -8.7%) 10-Yr: 4.43% (4.39%) The HUI (large-cap gold miners index) remains down 25% from its recent ATH. That means your gold/silver miner portfolio is likely down more than 25% from its recent high. The gold/silver bull is clearly bucking, which is normal for a gold/silver bull market. These deep corrections are not that rare. We have already had three of them since the gold/silver bull began in August. The previous two lasted about one month. This one could last 3 to 5 months before we get new ATHs in gold and silver. This one might end up being the deepest and longest-lasting correction. I hope that is the case -- let's get the worst behind us. Do not let a deep correction go to waste. Make sure to add some shares if possible. In fact, add as many as you can. Once this correction is over, the HUI will rip to a new ATH and reach 1,000. The next correction is likely to be shallow and short-lived. This could be the last chance to buy gold/silver miners at uber-cheap levels. I find it incredible how many producers print as 5+ baggers, and some as 20+ baggers. It's currently easy to find 10+ baggers -- if gold/silver prices reach my targets of $7000/$200. That won't last. The war in Iran is currently putting pressure on global economies and stock markets. If it is not resolved within two weeks, the fallout will be immense. I expect it to be resolved. Can Iran really allow the world to run out of gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and food? Because that will be the outcome if they keep the Strait closed. That seems like insanity. I think this is why they are negotiating. Iran recognizes the fallout. The longer the Strait is closed, the more downside risk to stocks, bonds, gold, silver, and gold/silver miners. There is no place to hide during this war except the dollar, which is at 100 (DXY). This war has put upward pressure on inflation, which hurts economies and helps gold. Once the Strait is open, I expect gold and silver to rip higher. The floor for gold is $4,100, or perhaps a little lower. But gold is currently a rubber band. Once the Strait is open, gold is going higher, as is silver, which will follow gold. Gold was pushed down from $5,600 to $4,100, but the demand for gold has not diminished. In fact, it has increased because of additional geopolitical uncertainty.

@OneNickADay @GrindeOptions Stacking what? If you are referring to the metals,I couldn't agree more

@GrindeOptions I think you’re right. Ignore the noise and keep stacking.

Iran will lose war, U.S. will declare victory. Oil will drop to around $60/barrel. The Dow will surpass 50,000. The S&P 500 will surpass 7,500. Interest rates will be cut 3-4 times. The 10 year interest rate will fall. Unemployment will drop below 4%. Republicans will win mid terms.

@FabAIQuantum @GrindeOptions Turns out the markets have done just fine with powell as chairman. I mean we are a few percent off of all time high's what more could you ask for?

@GrindeOptions Jerome Powell will leave and the markets will roar.

@nyakwardety @GlobalProTrader How long have you been watching/trading the metals?

@GlobalProTrader Makes LITERALLY ZERO sense. GOLD the hedge for geopolitical instability is crashing in the face of geopolitical instability. Can’t make this up.

Buy low, sell high." It's not rocket science but most retail traders do the exact opposite. Chase at the top, dump at the bottom. #Gold, #Silver, and #GDX are all gearing up for one more parabolic move higher imho. It begins when we bottom in wave C of wave 4.

Since reaching a new all time on the 2nd of THIS MONTH ,most of the last 12 trading days have been absolutely brutal. The bull 🐂 is bucking hard...down a cool 22% @DonDurrett

@SuperLuckeee Oops , forgot the gold and silver miners 🤷
