Mark Petereit

@MarcusFidelicus @UcheMaryOkoli You already know the answer to that.

@mark_petereit @UcheMaryOkoli Who mentioned it Mark?

If you can ask your mortal Pastors and friends to pray for you, why are you offended when Catholics asks the Saints in Heaven to pray for them? Does your Bible not tell you that anyone who dies in Christ lives? The Saints in Heaven are way more alive than your most powerful pastors combined on earth.

@MarcusFidelicus @UcheMaryOkoli Of course someone mentioned it. You’re talking about it 2,000 years later BECAUSE someone mentioned it.

@mark_petereit @UcheMaryOkoli The real question is if many people were raised from the dead why did NO ONE MENTION THIS ANYWHERE NO contemporary mentions of such a MIRACLE Not Jewish, not Roman, not ANYONE Could Matthew be WRONG?

@dsonoiki But with $200 billion we can bomb Iran TODAY. Not 18 years from now and STILL not have a single rail laid.

for $200 billion, we could build 4 miles of rail between Los Angeles and Bakersfield but instead we choose to bomb Muslims

@cturnbull1968 Under the SAVE Act you don’t need a passport to vote. Under the SAVE Act you don’t even need a passport to REGISTER to vote. In fact, if you’re already registered to vote, under the SAVE Act you don’t need to do ANYTHING.

If every American voter, without a passport, decided to get a passport, as their primary form of ID, it would take 5 years to fill the requests. But Republicans want this to be in effect before the midterms. They know this, of course, so it’s obvious voter suppression.

@ShaykhAzhar In Christianity, Jesus doesn’t STAY dead. Because he’s God.

In Islam, God doesn’t die because He’s God.

@MarcusFidelicus @UcheMaryOkoli The real question is this: does it align with the central message? Yes. Jesus conquered death. This event reinforces that truth. The absence of repetition doesn’t erase it, it simply reflects how the Gospels were written.

@MarcusFidelicus @UcheMaryOkoli You’re assuming that if something happened, it must be mentioned everywhere. That’s not how ancient history works. Multiple independent accounts with different details actually SUPPORT authenticity, not weaken it.

@MarcusFidelicus @UcheMaryOkoli Ultimately, it comes down to this: God reveals Himself through His Word. If you approach it with an open heart, it becomes self-authenticating. The issue isn’t lack of evidence. It’s whether you’re willing to RECEIVE the truth.

@MarcusFidelicus @UcheMaryOkoli It’s been tested for thousands of years: attacked, scrutinized, and yet it stands. No other book has that kind of endurance AND impact across cultures and generations.

@MarcusFidelicus @UcheMaryOkoli Truth isn’t determined by the calendar. We trust those writings because they’ve been PRESERVED, TESTED, and CONFIRMED - historically and spiritually. God’s Word doesn’t expire with time. Jesus validated it, and His resurrection backs up His authority.

@mark_petereit @UcheMaryOkoli Now why do you believe anything written by ancient Iron Age jewish men 1000 years BEFORE the Dark Ages?

@metathomist Why?

I believe St. Joseph was also assumed into heaven.

@MarcusFidelicus @UcheMaryOkoli The point is not the saints themselves, but what their raising PROVES: Jesus’ death and resurrection shattered the power of the grave. This moment shouts one message: DEATH DOES NOT HAVE THE FINAL WORD.

@MarcusFidelicus @UcheMaryOkoli Throughout Scripture, God sometimes uses extraordinary events at pivotal moments. This is one of them. It is tied directly to the CROSS and RESURRECTION, not random or accidental.
