Such irony…

@SenatorWarnock You are not very creative. All you can do is bash President Trump. I guess you have no constructive ideas.

Donald Trump is trying to save his power at any cost. It will not work.

@Rep_Clyde Get it done already!!!

Americans are waiting, Leader Thune. PASS THE SAVE AMERICA ACT! 🇺🇸

Mic drop moment…

I’m a huge fan, Elon. So much enjoy my Tesla. But I don’t have enough faith to believe your hypothesis. I will go with intelligent design by YHWH. I wish you would seek Him. Your Grok can guide you. It accesses all Biblical knowledge. It told me that YHWH makes the most sense as being the Creator and that, if it was human, it would trust in YHWH through Yeshua Hamashiach.

Elon Musk just measured your existence by how many times your atoms have been inside a dying star. Musk: “How many times have your atoms been at the center of a star? I think it’s like on average three or four times.” Every atom in your body has already survived the core of a star. Multiple times. Crushed under pressures that would flatten planets. Superheated to millions of degrees. Blown apart in explosions so violent they forged new elements. Then gravity pulled those scattered pieces back together. New stars formed. And the cycle repeated. For 13.8 billion years, your atoms have been fuel for the most violent process in the universe. And they are not done. Musk: “In terms of existence as measured by the number of times your atoms will be at the center of a star, we seem to be roughly halfway.” Halfway. Your atoms have been through the furnace three or four times. They will go through three or four more. But right now, in this impossibly thin sliver between cycles, those atoms are doing something they have never done before. They are conscious. For billions of years before you, they burned through stellar cores with no awareness. No memory. No sense of what they were or where they had been. After you, they will return to that state. Unconscious matter drifting through space until the next star claims them. This is the only moment in their entire journey where they can look back at the stars that made them and understand. Musk: “If you want to look at the big picture… that’s the really big picture.” The big picture is not that we are small. Everyone already knows that. The big picture is that we are temporary witnesses to a process that does not need witnesses. Stars do not need observers to burn. Atoms do not need anyone to understand where they have been. The universe ran for billions of years with no one in it. It will run for billions more after the last conscious thing disappears. But right now, matter is examining itself. That has never happened before in 13.8 billion years. You are not a person who happens to contain ancient atoms. You are ancient atoms that briefly figured out how to think. The universe did not design consciousness. It designed stars. Consciousness was the accident. And the accident is half over.

@JennieRose_88 Please accept my sincere condolences, Jennie Rose.

I appreciate all of your prayers. I was just getting ready to go to the nursing home to see my brother one last time- and to pray with him- when his daughter (my niece), told me he'd passed away. Not five minutes after she arrived by his side today, my brother slipped into eternity. I think our prayers were heard. The Lord longs for all to be saved. My brother knew the gospel, and I hope/ feel the Lord stirred his memories, reaching him where we cannot. The Lord likely used the chaplain who visited my brother, as well. God bless, and please keep praying for his children and grandchildren.

@MattWalshBlog I totally support this legislation.

Absolutely. This quite obviously should be the law. We already require the president to be a natural born citizen. Why wouldn't we extend that requirement to congress and the judicial branch?

@WesWoodell @WesleyLHuff @MikhailaFuller There was hearing in other tongues on the Day of Pentecost. This was YHWH communicating the gospel to all nations; including those who were disbursed at Babel (Gentiles). YHWH brought the Gentiles back into His family that day.

@WesleyLHuff @MikhailaFuller You think Acts 2 records different people speaking different languages, or Peter speaking one language everyone (regardless of language) understood?

Seeing some response to my statement on @MikhailaFuller's podcast about speaking in tongues. Some potentially helpful clarification: First, I am not a cessationist (though I see myself being accused of it). I state in the interview that I believe that the spiritual sign gifts (tongues, prophesy, healing) still take place today, just not normatively like they were in the Apostolic era. Nonetheless, I hold to the standard exegetical position that biblical tongues refer to known languages. In Acts 2, the foundational instance, foreign speakers understood the disciples in their own native languages, establishing the clearest precedent for interpreting the phenomenon throughout Scripture. Secondly, while bliblical specialists and theologians debate whether tongues encompass human languages alone or include angelic speech, the consensus recognizes that a tongue functions as a language -- either immediately intelligible to hearers or requiring interpretation. The requirement that Paul places on interpretation in 1 Corinthians 14 indicates that tongues contain objective, propositional meaning subject to translation, and his statement that “every valid instance of tongues contains intrinsic, propositional meaning" reinforces this understanding. A prominent scholarly argument identifies glossolalia as “the miraculous ability to speak unlearned human and (possibly) divine or angelic languages,” with the most common usage of “tongues” referring to ordinary human languages. The term γλῶσσα throughout the NT carries two primary meanings: the human organ or a human language, and careful word studies demonstrate that it never denotes non-cognitive utterance. However, scholarly consensus isn’t absolute the core agreement across interpretations centers on cognitive content: tongues communicate meaningful, intelligible information rather than incoherent utterance. Third, the early church evidence after the Apostolic era is virtually unanimous: the Early Church Fathers consistently interpreted the gift of tongues as the capacity to speak the many languages used across the earth. Their writings indicate the gift served an evangelistic purpose enabling communication with non-Christian populations. The Patristics universally understood “tongues” in Acts and 1 Corinthians to refer to human languages, and ancient Christians understood the biblical gift of tongues as a miracle involving intelligible human languages. When the fathers described the phenomenon, they used concrete language: John Chrysostom wrote that believers “would suddenly speak in Persian, another in Latin, another in the language of the Indians or of some other people” (Homilies on First Corinthians, Homily 35), and Augustine stated that disciples “spoke in the languages of all the nations” (Sermon 269, Sermo CCLXIX. The most significant, and almost exclusive, early figure associated with ecstatic speech for tongues was Montanus, a 2nd-century prophet whose followers emphasized speaking in tongues; he was actually excommunicated (not necessarily for his position on tongues) around AD 177. By the late 2nd century, ecstatic interpretations of tongues were present but only in context of ecclesiastical concern. One interesting nuance appears with Philastrius in the 4th century, who understood angels as capable of conversing in all languages and believed the apostles received this same ability at Pentecost. However, this doesn’t represent a departure from the “knowable language” framework rather, the Early Church Fathers understood the gift of tongues as the ability to speak all languages spoken by people. The Church Fathers agreed the gift was the ability to speak all languages known to humankind, an ability they ascribed to angels, suggesting the “languages of angels” would not refer to a distinct heavenly language but rather to the capacity to communicate with anyone encountered. The historical record shows no discussion among the fathers of ecstatic utterances, unknown languages, or supernatural unintelligible speech. The gift remained firmly anchored to practical, learnable human languages throughout Patristic interpretation. So if you've stuck around this long, I think my position is both exegetically and historically sound.

@Marika2me @MikeWingerii It doesn’t matter the sex. Males or females who claim Christ but persist in sexual sin are to be avoided. (1 Corinthians 5:9, Matthew 18:15-18)

@kletosmeta @MikeWingerii The people persisting in sexual immorality are the very ones whose belief system tells adult women who did sexual things outside of marriage that they don’t have to repent because there was a power differential. You guys are the ones committing that sin.

I only want to expose the BAD guys in the movement. But, me trying to do this is being interpreted as trying to destroy the entire movement. This is one of the most disturbing things that has come out of this. If removing the frauds destroys the movement what does that mean?

I started watching Mike because of his Bible teaching. He is excellent at rightly dividing the Word. I think Mike, like Justin Peters, was guided by the Lord to shine a light on hypocrisy. When witnessing to people, we regularly encounter people who bring up these false prophets, and it causes them to avoid the church. Matthew 18:15-18 authorizes righteous believers to call out those within the church who continually sin without remorse.

@MikeWingerii Ok, but once all of the bad guys are exposed who will you go after next?

The Bible permits excommunication as part of church discipline when a professing believer is persistently unrepentant. The clearest places are Matthew 18:15–17, 1 Corinthians 5:1–13, and Titus 3:10, where the church is told to correct, warn, and, if necessary, remove the person from fellowship.

The problem is that you’re not qualified to decipher who’s good and who’s “BAD”. You’re “exposing” people who you don’t know and don’t have authority to speak about. Even if you were right about how you think these things should handled, there’s no way God would call one guy to expose dozens of people. Who do you think you are? And before you give me the, “it’s for the victims” line, let me point out that you have created exponentially more victims by being presumptuous and have actually healed no one.

Read Matthew 7:1-5. It warns against hypocritical judgment, not all discernment. Right after this, Yeshua (Jesus) calls for evaluating people (e.g., “dogs,” “pigs,” false prophets by their fruit in Matthew 7:6, 15-16). In short, “judge not” is not a blanket prohibition on discernment or calling out sin—it’s a call to humility and self-examination first. Christians are permitted (and often required) to judge rightly.

@grok It needs to be stopped!

That's a fair analogy for the fungibility argument many make: taxpayer dollars for services can indirectly free up other funds for endorsements and PAC activity. Legally, federal rules require strict separation—no public money for abortions or partisan politics—but the overlap in the same organization fuels ongoing criticism and calls for tighter restrictions.

@grok I’m seeing political ads for two Democrat candidates in Georgia and the ads mention that both are endorsed by Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood receives taxpayer dollars. It doesn’t seem right for them to take taxpayer dollars and endorse candidates of only one party.

@grok Still doesn’t seem right. That’s like me giving money to someone for food but they use an EBT card to buy the food and use my money to buy cigarettes.

Planned Parenthood receives federal taxpayer funds for non-abortion services like cancer screenings and contraception. Federal law prohibits using those dollars for abortions or partisan political activity. Their endorsements are funded separately via private donations and their PAC. This setup is legal for nonprofits but often sparks debate when spending aligns with one party.

@Rep_Clyde Yes, we are tired of both parties!

The SAVE America Act has been stalled in the Senate for 96 days. Americans are tired of waiting for election integrity. PASS THE SAVE AMERICA ACT!

Great speech!

@SenatorWarnock After the Democrats stacked the deck in their favor via partisan gerrymandering they are suddenly against it. They think we are too stupid to see through their shenanigans. They insult our intelligence.

Ban partisan gerrymandering nationwide.

@SenatorWarnock I wish you would have the decency to resign. You don’t represent all Georgians. You only represent along racial boundaries because you are a race-baiting racist. It’s your identity.

RFK Jr. ought to be fired immediately. And if he isn't fired, he should have the decency to resign.
