@VbcApologetics @goinggodward Salt and light. It's not what I wish, but what the Lord wishes. It's not optional. The church does not exist for itself, but for every person who Jesus calls by name. It sounds like your faith has lost its saltiness

@rgcounts @goinggodward Believe as you wish, Sir.

Today’s sermon included a brief story about a young man who expressed to his priest that he was struggling to say the Nicene Creed because he didn’t believe in the virgin birth. The priest’s response: “Nobody cares what you believe. You’re going to be dead in 60-70 years, and Christians are going to believe in the virgin birth like they have for 2000 years and will continue long after you’re gone.”

@rgcounts @BasilianThought @paleochristcon Hardly! Believe me, not all boomers avoid confrontation! I thrive on it…will run towards it, probably why I chose & have a degree in CJ/corrections, and worked as a CO! Putting many you know absolutely nothing about into a category is ridiculous!

Let's make this easy. If there is a single viable option outside the Binary of Republican and Democrat. Let's hear it.

I'm proud to have been one of those viewers from 2017 who watched him for a month, then quickly realized he's a neocon and tired of his annoying voice, cadence, and style

@Kendra_MAGA @BasilianThought @paleochristcon I don't mean boomer as an age group. I mean it as a mindset and worldview developed by the baby boomers. Andrew Wilson is gen-x, but he is more boomer than some baby boomers I know. I have gen z friends who are boomers

@VbcApologetics @goinggodward The Church is the body of Christ. Jesus got a body for the benefit of each individual person. If you lose sight of that, you ignore his mission

@rgcounts @goinggodward Sir, the church is about Jesus Christ. You either conform to Christ or you're rolling your own. Yes, doubts and concerns need gentle discussion, and if necessary, gentle rebuke. But it is most certainly not about you, Sir.

@VbcApologetics @goinggodward The teachings of the church are about you. The church exists for the benefit of each individual soul. People don't exist for the benefit of the church. If you can't accept a truth, it's an urgent issue. It does not deserve a glib catchphrase

@goinggodward Well, he's not wrong - but he might have phrased it more gently. However, the teachings of the Christian church are not about you. There is a fundamental bedrock truth, and the church must adhere to it. Don't try to change the church.

@JefferyAMcLean @KrevinSac @BasilianThought @paleochristcon No, you have to slow down. There's no shame in taking your time with clever insults. Sit on it for 20 minutes and let the inspiration come

@rgcounts @KrevinSac @BasilianThought @paleochristcon Which word didn't you understand? I can try to dumb it down for you.

@JefferyAMcLean @KrevinSac @BasilianThought @paleochristcon No, it doesn't actually. But if you need more time to come up with something clever, you're welcome to try again

@rgcounts @KrevinSac @BasilianThought @paleochristcon Well you're right, you definitely don't know what hubris means. Hubris (pronounced HYOO-bris) is extreme pride, arrogance, or dangerous overconfidence that often leads to a person's downfall or ruin. Probably sums up your whole life, doesn't it?

@JefferyAMcLean @KrevinSac @BasilianThought @paleochristcon Maybe if you don't know what hubris means Hubris: over confidently dropping trite comments that don't add to the conversation Not hubris: pointing out trite comments that don't add to the conversation

@rgcounts @KrevinSac @BasilianThought @paleochristcon How very hubristic of you.

@JefferyAMcLean @KrevinSac @BasilianThought @paleochristcon Yes, I often encounter overconfident people with irrelevant comments that don't add to discussion. Prayers needed!

@rgcounts @KrevinSac @BasilianThought @paleochristcon That probably happens to you a lot. I'll pray for you.

@JefferyAMcLean @KrevinSac @BasilianThought @paleochristcon You're not? I'm surprised

@rgcounts @KrevinSac @BasilianThought @paleochristcon Not surprising that you went with sarcasm to deflect your intellectual insecurities.

A massive data center is now bathing the rural town of Crowell, Texas, in constant artificial light, leaving residents under a 24/7 industrial glow. In other locations where data centers have been established, light pollution is becoming a serious problem for residents. Follow: @AFpost

@JefferyAMcLean @KrevinSac @BasilianThought @paleochristcon Wow hot take. Do you have any other wisdom to share?

@rgcounts @KrevinSac @BasilianThought @paleochristcon Any "-ism" used as a pejorative is just a lazy way to dismiss someone’s argument without actually engaging with the substance of what they’re saying. Do better.

Spirit Airlines died tonight at the hands of the socialist crusader, Elizabeth Warren She must be so proud to add another casket to her achievements. Tonight at 3am, Spirit turns off the lights. 14,000 jobs gone. 30+ smaller airports lose service. JetBlue offered $3.8 BILLION in cash to buy Spirit in 2022. Shareholders, flight attendants union, literally everyone voted yes. The combined company would have held 9% of the US market against a Big 4 that already owned 80%. For anyone who understands numbers: 9% isn’t a monopoly against 80%. Warren said no. She wrote letters. She pressured Buttigieg. Biden’s DOJ sued. A federal judge killed the deal in January 2024. Her argument: the merger would cost consumers $1 billion a year. Now look at her collateral damage she dusts under the rug. 510 pilots gone in the months after. 1,800 flight attendants furloughed in December. 14,000 jobs in 2023. 7,500 last week. Zero tonight. And that’s just the people in Spirit uniforms. Catering goes. Fuel guys go. Baggage crews, gate agents, airport coffee shops, hotels and rental cars in 70 cities Spirit flew to. Every airline job carries 3 more on its back. 40,000 people out of work because of one woman’s moronic crusade against the market. And the math ain’t mathing. Spirit abandoned 90 routes during the death spiral. Fares on those routes are up 14% on average. Oakland to Newark: $135 to $288. Fort Myers to San Juan: $92 to $219. Kansas City to Newark up 66%. That’s reality. Not some BS number from a “study.” So @SenWarren tell me how this saves the consumer money? Cheap carriers in a market drop fares 21% across the board. Southwest did this in the 90s and saved Americans $68 BILLION over 20 years. Warren killed it. That’s what moronic politicians led by socialism do. Then with her own blind arrogance, she tweeted Spirit’s collapse is “a Biden win for flyers.” A win. 14,000 people are reading termination letters tonight. And she’s taking credit. This is socialism in 2026. A senator who’s never made payroll thinks she knows how to run a market better than the people who own and work in the company. She saved you a billion on imaginary paper. She cost you ten times that in real life. She didn’t protect consumers from anything. 14,000+ will go from working to welfare. She will make sure to blame billionaires, hardworking tax payers, AI, capitalism and whatever monster they will make up tomorrow hiding under your bed. Higher taxes. Fewer jobs. More expensive everything. She called it a win. I hope you enjoy winning.

German monks fasted for 40 days on beer only. A journalist recreated it and lost 25 lbs (11kg)

The Daily Wire peaked five years ago. For like two years, I listened to Matt Walsh every day. Ben Shapiro 3-4 times a week. Andrew Klavan on the weekends. Michael knowles when the others were on vacation. I used to set aside time to watch the backstage events. They promised harder hitting journalism and investigations… not just breaking down NYPost stories ‘journalism.’ Instead they started making movies, cartoons, selling cigars, razors, and chocolate. Once they switched from news and mainstreaming conservative views to “Hey, buy stuff from us,” I knew it was over. I stopped listening, but kept my subscription alive out of loyalty or whatever— kinda always hoping they’d course correct. Their producers hating on Mormons is just the icing on the cake for me. The Daily Wire played an integral role in a weird time for me as I developed my political views. So I’m honestly sad this is where they are now, but it’s not surprising.

@KrevinSac @BasilianThought @paleochristcon Boomerism is a worldview. Andrew has clueless boomer politics, so it's no wonder why you come to his defense

@rgcounts @BasilianThought @paleochristcon You look more boomer than most boomers... hes also not a boomer; he's gen X.

@churchs_sermons @BasilianThought @paleochristcon So true. Not zoomer enough to looksmax, not boomer enough to get a hair transplant

@rgcounts @BasilianThought @paleochristcon I mean with that hairline you're not exactly a zoomer yourself, sir.

One enormous cause: the federal government creating and subsidizing the 30 year mortgage. Mortgage lending is inherently very risky because land is so illiquid. Without those subsidies, housing would be much cheaper and far more Americans would rent.

@BasilianThought @paleochristcon Because he's a boomer. Like all boomers, their politics are based on avoiding confrontation and passing problems off to the next generation

@paleochristcon wtf are you talking about? you punish the GOP in the midterms and use the parties as a vehicle to power with an insurgency candidate. How are you this fucking stupid?
