@PaoloGerrini@ThoughtfulSaint God is not entitled to save all of His enemies and it’s weird to place that on Him.
Besides, your god losing over 1/3 of his children to outer darkness is a far bigger philosophical problem than anything you can bring against Calvinism.

I don’t even research stocks or have any idea what I’m doing.
All I do is copy Nancy Pelosi.
Recently started copying the Trump administration too.
I LOVE THIS COUNTRY

Trump is playing 3d chess.
The plan is simple. OIL → $200.
This will knock Crypto and Stocks down 40%.
Send gas prices to $10.
Cut Real Estate in half.
And while everyone is panicking, we get generational entries.
Then he ends the war, we begin the greatest bull market in history, and he takes credit for all of it.
Trust the process.
Life becomes easy when you have:
- Zero high-interest debt
- A fully-funded emergency fund ($20k+)
- Investments on autopilot ($1k+/month)
- A reliable, paid-off vehicle
- Two+ income streams (one is passive)
- A mortgage payment under 20% of your income Make this your 2026 target. Start today. One step at a time.
@endustry@jaredadairbell I agree with majority of what you said. The Fall was disobedience and everything following that did occur.
Where I differ is that although it was necessary progress, the claim from another post of it being “courageous wisdom” is not at all common belief.
No, the Fall wasn’t a surprise to God, and it also wasn’t a “good thing” or anything to celebrate. It was tragic disobedience that brought sin, death, and corruption into the world. For the wages of sin is death, spiritual separation from God, physical mortality, the whole curse package from Genesis 3.
Christianity sees the Fall as catastrophic rebellion and God grieved it deeply (Genesis 6:6 shows sorrow over wickedness, not literal surprise or regret like a human mistake). LDS theology flips the Fall as necessary progress, Eve’s choice as courageous wisdom which downplays sin’s horror and makes God the author of evil’s entry. Sin earns death, Christ conquers it. No celebrating the crime that required the cross.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a weird religion.
We believe we lived with God before coming to earth.
We believe that God always intended for Adam and Eve to partake of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
We believe in Jesus’ grace is sufficient to save and He saves those who keep His commandments.
We believe in performing rituals or ordinances as part of keeping His commandments.
We believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ is preached to those who are dead in the next life, that they might have the opportunity to accept His gospel and have faith in Him.
We believe in performing ordinances for the dead, which are essential to live in the Kingdom of God.
We believe we have a divine potential to be like Him.
We believe in following Christ’s example of loving our neighbors and sharing the Gospel that has so richly blessed our lives.
The weirdest thing about our religion is probably that even though we receive absolute vitriol from others, we see everyone as our brother or sister of the same Heavenly Father and try to love and help them.
Don Lemon may be annoying, hyper-partisan against Trump, and surprisingly thin-skinned as he showed when he came on @PiersUncensored recently.. but he shouldn’t have been arrested for doing his job as a journalist, not least because he is already milking it like a dairy farmer.
@endustry@jaredadairbell If you continue on to verses 13 and 14, it reiterates my point, and continues that He loves humankind to not completely wipe them from the Earth. He commands Noah to build the ark, thus saving the righteous and destroying (given its temporary) evil.
Was the Fall a surprise?
@endustry@jaredadairbell The opposing belief would be that God did not plan the fall (it being a surprise to God himself, making him not omnipotent.) He still gave agency to His children and allowed them to ultimately decide. When the world became wicked enough with no desire to repent, the flood came.
@jaredadairbell So let me get this straight: God planned the Fall, which led to universal death and corruption, then decided the solution was to drown almost everyone a few generations later.
And we’re calling this “intentional” and “loving”?
@indexnforgetit I’m willing to debate that, sir. He says himself he hasnt used a credit card since going bankrupt. He says he has no credit score. He does have a paid off home and his networth is tied in all paid off real-estate.
This or I’m wrong.
Dave Ramsey didn't get to be worth $200million by never using a credit card and paying off his home early
He got to $200million by selling that idea to you
@ThrillaRilla369 I don’t agree and I’m willing to be wrong, but you go to the cinemas for the film, not the snacks. The snacks are there for stronger profit margins for the cinema. You’re not forced to get the snacks in order to watch the movie. Convenient streaming services did.
I'm ready to work with people like @elonmusk so that rather than chasing businesses away from CA, we draw them in.
It starts with eliminating regulation, lowering taxes, and getting government off the back of the private sector.
Let the great California comeback begin.
The government has been shut down for 36 days, the longest in US history -
And absolutely nothing about your life is different.
What is the lesson here?
@shaun_barrowes They wore them the previous year and they were about Math.
I am not surprised at all that they wore them. I guarantee it never occured to them in the slightest that people would think this had something to do with Charlie Kirk
A group of high school teachers are going to need to enter witness protection because they wore the same math/zombie shirt two years in a row
Republican snowflakes had to make it all about them
And in case you are wondering...yes Mike Lee, the gulliblest man online, fell for it
If you hate America, then leave.
Go back to the country you came from and make that country great.
But stop trying to turn America into the place you escaped from.
The current cost to renounce your citizenship is $2,350.
I’d like to propose that the White House waive that fee until 2028 and encourage those who hate America to leave.
But with one caveat: you permanently give up the right to ever apply for U.S. citizenship again.
Go to a country you love, and contribute to that society.
Our future would be safer, happier, and filled with greater pride in what 🇺🇸 stands for.
@BradRTorgersen@j_on20 I see the reasoning for both, but my first thought is if we believe modern-day revelation, we should trust the modern-day Prophet to give more recent prophetic counsel.
I earlier saw a fellow LDS member chastise a reporter for calling us Mormon. "It's Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints!"
My friends, we need to stop this. It's seriously akin to trans zealots demanding pronouns.
The world knows us as Mormons, and has always known us as Mormons. Shrill hand-slapping will not stop them from calling us Mormons, but it will teach them we're prickly/touchy. And that's no bueno, brothers and sisters. Big-time no bueno.
Mormons. Be fine with it. President Monson dared us to embrace the label. I agree with him 100%.
There's a Japanese legend that says your present face is the face of the one you loved most in your past life. It's probably just a myth but I think it's beautiful.
