@7bil_1island @Curi_Christian @lds_spence Then why require all the rituals?

@Curi_Christian @lds_spence The Book of Mormon explicitly says you're saved by grace

Galatians 1:8 "But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed."

@ProLifeBigTex @ByuSome The Bible literally requires by law women take medicine to end a pregnancy if the child was conceived out of wedlock. Numbers chapter 5.

@capaferro11 @ByuSome The Bible forbids us from intentionally ending the lives or shedding the innocent blood of image bearers of God by any means.

It is WILD to me that people will be like, "How can you vote for Trump? He's so immoral!" and then turn around and vote for a political party that: -Supports abortion -Supports trans (literally can't even define what a woman is anymore) -Supports gay marriage (destruction of nuclear family) -Decriminalize drugs -Is completely soft on criminal justice -Refuses to enforce any immigration standard -Prioritizes immigration over public safety -Turns a blind eye to any and all fraud -Cares nothing about ethics of voting -Supported job loss if didn't get COVID vaccine -Wanted to jail you and separate children from parents over not getting the COVID vaccine If you can name five things that Republicans in general support with respect to platform that are in complete opposition to basic Christian morality, then aight, let's hear it. I'm not talking about Trump, I'm talking about the Republican party platform vs. the Democrat party platform. I do not think you can. Meanwhile, it is incredibly easy to name BIG things with the Democrats.

@PeterSweden7 So its absurd to think time, matter, or the universe are eternal, but perfectly logical to assume there is some eternal, supernatural creator?

What is your best logical argument for the existence of God? I have two arguments that are very compelling... Argument number 1: The universe must logically have had a beginning. If it had a beginning, then that beginning must have had a cause. That cause must be outside of this universe and outside of time. An eternal, all powerful source. In other words, God. The other option would be that the universe, time and matter was eternal. Which would per definition place it in the category of supernatural, which is absurd. Argument number 2: If good and evil exists, that means God must also exist. Why? Because God is what gives the ultimate compass for what is objectively good and evil. Without God, an higher power that is all knowing and perfect, moral laws become subjective to each one of us. You cannot have moral law without a moral law giver. We can observe and logically understand that objective moral laws do indeed exist. We can clearly see that evil, that which goes against the objective moral law, does exist. Therefore good, that which follows the objectively moral law, must also exist. And if those are true, therefore then, God exists.

@flo_cade Few years ago, OKC was the darlings of the NBA. Now, they've become so good they are the villain.

The Thunder literally get to play with a different set of rules than the other 29 teams in the league. It’s mind boggling. Idk how anyone can beat them when they’re always at an advantage. 🫠🫠🫠🫠

@COSportsNut @tjbey2000 Your argument is that there is a league wide conspiracy by the refs and NBA to help SGA and the Thunder. Maybe you are the uneducated one.

You’re the one sounding completely uneducated. Just because it’s not called doesn’t mean the fouls aren’t occurring. Meanwhile, your dude gets breathed on and he goes to the line. To say Jokic doesn’t get respect on defense tells me that you don’t pay attention to the game at all. Watch some tape.

SGA scores 47 points but has 25 FTA Wemby scores 41 points but has 4 FTA Jokic, Murray, and AG all had 50 point games with less than 6 FTA This is why we say SGA plays unethical ball This is why I don’t put him in the same tier as a Jokic or a Wemby Nobody wants to reward a flopping foul baiter

@BruceNorth46058 @MattTestifies @TruthHolder2023 1) using the Bible as proof of God is like using Tolkien to prove Middle Earth exists. 2) God is just fine showing himself to lots of people, including non-believers in the Bible. Why is their free will not as paramount?

@capaferro11 @MattTestifies @TruthHolder2023 Incorrect. God holds your free will as paramount. Taking your faith from you would harm you. Your ignorance won't save you, but absolute proof would ruin your ability to choose on your own.

People are afraid of Latter-day Saints because our message forces a decision about whether God still speaks.

@BruceNorth46058 @MattTestifies @TruthHolder2023 Only one passes the tests.

@capaferro11 @MattTestifies @TruthHolder2023 There are many witnesses of God. I could mock them without ever repeating the experiment. Or I can try it out for myself. I don't have to just take their word for it. Why should I believe one and not the other when both are testable?

@TheFinalQuan Sounds like Most Improved not Most Valuable.

No one is more deserving of the MVP than the guy who took his team from 13th place to the 2 seed in a single calendar year, the first year back from a life changing injury.

@BruceNorth46058 @MattTestifies @TruthHolder2023 We arent talking about the sun. But even if you say the sun doesnt exist, we can physically feel and see it. Doesn't work with God.

@capaferro11 @MattTestifies @TruthHolder2023 What is the sun made of? How do you know?

@JennMGreenberg The Bible promotes abortion. The Jews killed Christ.

I recently posted about Christianity being taboo in America and got some backlash. Here’s the thing. You won’t be persecuted for being a nominal Christian in America. In fact, America loves cultural Christianity. You can say, “God bless you,” and “Merry Christmas,” and wear your WWJD swag. That’s fine. But if you’re the kind of Christian who lives your faith; who defends Jews, calls abortion murder, is against “gender affirming care” for children, and p-rnography, you will absolutely be hated. Just the fact that people were mocking me for saying this demonstrates my point.

@BruceNorth46058 @MattTestifies @TruthHolder2023 God doesnt speak. He was never a man. He doesnt have a son.

@MattTestifies @TruthHolder2023 I noticed naysayers never once acknowledged your point: they won't declare their position on whether God still speaks. If miracles have ceased, it is because of the lack of faith of men. Angels and miracles attend the faithful Saints.

@unzolly @bigspursgang 30ppg/75 might be the dumbest stat ever. So in a normal game where you play 30 minutes, you should expect lile 12 points. Whoop dee fuckin doo. MVP my ass.

@bigspursgang Whole time it’s actually 30ppg/75

Best defender in nba history is averaging 30 points per 75 with 55 wins and you got people saying that’s not the runaway mvp

@OPinfernonewac1 Love how the bar for MVP is how you do against OKC. If OKC is the bar, then they probably have the MVP.

3 of the 10 games wemby came off the bench were against okc spurs won all 3 and wemby had the most impact out of any player on both teams with a +47 in those games while on minutes restriction. MVP

@Investor_x1 @LALexcptionalst Gosh, ya think the guy with multiple MVPs and a Championship is better than the guy without any? What an analysis. Now do the same for SGA and Luka.

@LALexcptionalst True. I even think that Jokic is a tad higher than Luka. Absolute freak of a player. Luka is close tho. Couple more years he'll reach that level. Two current GOATs.of the game

I still maintain Luka and Jokic are in a tier alone. It’s actually insulting to their legacies to compare those two to SGA and Ant.

@LeBron__legacy @ChetGotNext Maybe Lukas team should win more than 60 games for multiple years. Then we might not call them empty stats when the wins pile up.

@ChetGotNext I guarantee yall if it was Luka y’all would be sayin it Don’t cap

Shai putting up empty stats lmfao We finna start using the same standards y’all do with Luka, so this Shai performance don’t mean shit.

@Solobulll @dgv1133 @carebearkieran I think the media that votes on the awards does.

@capaferro11 @dgv1133 @carebearkieran Wait so youre using playoffs for the mvp?

Luka is never winning MVP. He’s about to have a SCORING TITLE while being TOP 10 in steals and assists while leading a team that was missing Bron and AR for 48 GAMES to a 3 seed. Yet people are finding more reasons NOT to give Luka the MVP than TO give Luka the MVP.

@TurnAndBurn210 He is laughing, not crying.

Wemby paid OKC a huge compliment by using the defending champs as part of his personal MVP metrics. Same team some were musing could challenge for best regular season ever earlier this season. He respects them as the team to dethrone. And OKC fans are...mad about it.

@A_Revelator @BluefiremarkII @JustintheN3rd Meh, im not sure that counts as abandoning Christ. They would spin it as Jesus did complete his work, but infallible humans lost it. Do you know a religion that actually follows everything in the Bible and doesnt add other requirements? Cuz i think all of Christianity would fail.

The penalty for sin is death. Jesus paid this debt so we would have eternal life. That is the completed work of Christ. LDS abandoned that completed work. They say they believe in that work but Jesus didn’t complete the job. In order to complete the job Jesus started Joseph Smith had to come. To make this short… They added temple works as a requirement to get access to the celestial kingdom. This is abandoning Jesus finished work and adding to it. They will never admit to this, but if you know what the Bible teaches you will know LDS in fact did abandon the completed work.

mf’s say, ‘Mormons are in a cult!” Ok. Cool story bro. My ‘cult’ taught me to stay away from porn, love my wife more, serve my neighbors, worship and pray to God the Father in the name of Jesus Christ every day, read my scriptures every day, and give 10% to charity. If that’s a ‘cult’, maybe we need more of them.

@A_Revelator @BluefiremarkII @JustintheN3rd How did they abandon the completed work of Christ? Im a former Mormon, ive got no qualms calling lds a cult, but how is it not Christianity?

You should study and get a clue if you call yourself a member of LDS. You’re probably not aware that Joseph Smith incorrectly interpreted the Book of Abraham also. The translation was correctly translated by Egyptologist a few years ago and they found Joseph Smith got 0% of the translation correct. He literally made it up! You are probably not aware that the LdS church wouldn’t allow blacks to hold priesthood until the late 1970s. Was that a false revelation from God? You probably not aware that Peter, James, and John didn’t appear to Joseph Smith and Oliver’s Cowdery. Are you aware that Mormons are not Christians according to historical Christianity? Are you aware that Mormons have abandoned the completed work of a Christ? Are you aware that the 3 kingdoms LDS claim are set up similar to a caste system in which only the elite who perform works are allowed to the highest Kingdom? Most importantly are you aware they have a different Jesus?
