@Milajoy @SF_Conservative Filling the reservoir would be admitting that it can be done and that it is important for fire. They would rather sacrifice public safety than admit they are wrong

Spencer Pratt won't stop talking about the EMPTY Palisades reservoir until it's filled back up. It's been EMPTY since BEFORE the LA fires. It's 6 million gallons. Karen Bass said it wouldn't have made a difference.

@SamThePol @floydbrown What political party is governing Phoenix?

Update on Phoenix Homeless Hellscape “The Zone” Bottom Line: things got better, now they’re getting worse again

@Hotshot_Movie Democrats always lie

Karen Bass recent met with lobbyists in Sacramento to have this changed to make her not look so horrible during the election. She literally erased the Palisades last January, now she’s doing it again, figuratively, too.

There are 46 vagrant fires every single day in LA…rubbish and encampment fires that destroy property, vehicles, kill pets, spread to vegetation, and compromise infrastructure. That’s 17,000+ fires per year. Until you clear vagrants from the streets, don’t pretend you’re serious about mitigating fire threats.

@EdOEwing1 @BillboardChris @buttonslives I never said Catholics don't read the Bible. Catholic doctrine is full of Scripture. That's not the problem. It's what Rome adds that is not in the Bible that is the problem

@truth_ally @BillboardChris @buttonslives Trust me, I sat in Protestant pews for 30 years, I’ve heard all the falsehoods Baptist preachers say about Catholics not reading the Bible. You only have a Bible because priests and monks handmade copies for 1500 years…they knew everything that it says better than anyone.

I think I’m going to give church another try. I need help understanding evil. Which kind of church talks about that?

@EdOEwing1 @BillboardChris @buttonslives Penance and confessing one's sins to God in prayer are two very different things. The latter is Biblical and nothing I said indicated otherwise

@truth_ally @BillboardChris @buttonslives 2 Samuel 12 After David’s sin with Bathsheba, he confesses his sin to Nathan, who tells him: “The LORD also has put away your sin; you shall not die.” But David accepts the consequences of his actions, and fasts as a sign of contrition while his child dies.

@EdOEwing1 @BillboardChris @buttonslives Yes Paul says he wishes other believers could be celibate but he didn't require it nor is it a qualification for an elder. Did you not know that, or are you purposely trying to obfuscate?

@truth_ally @BillboardChris @buttonslives Acts 26:20, St Paul preached that sinners should “repent and turn to God and demonstrate their repentance by their deeds.” 1 Cor 7:7, St Paul desires that all could be celibate as he is. The church holds believers and leaders to the highest standards.

@EdOEwing1 @BillboardChris @buttonslives Please show me in the Bible where it says an elder must be celibate or where an elder is assigned the duty of administering penance. I never said the priesthood didn't require the elder qualifications. The problem is with the extra-Biblical aspects

@truth_ally @BillboardChris @buttonslives Please show me where the Bible defines what an elder is and how priests don’t meet that definition. Priests are not mediators, as there is one mediator Jesus Christ, who mediates between God and man by offering his body as a sacrifice to allow humans to commune with God.

@steve_hanke Do you ever broadcast Hezbollah terrorist attacks? Or just one-sided condemnation?

Israel CONTINUES to RELENTLESSLY bomb civilian areas in Lebanon. Lebanon's Health Ministry reports that SIX Lebanese have been killed in the past 24 hours by Israeli forces. ISRAEL = BREAKS CEASEFIRES AGAIN & AGAIN = INVITES WAR CRIMES COMPLAINTS.

@EdOEwing1 @BillboardChris @buttonslives Our disagreement is in the definition of elder. The Biblical definition of elder is not a priesthood in the sense that priests are considered mediators between man and God. For example, the administering of penance or confirmation exclusively by Catholic preists is not Biblical

@truth_ally @BillboardChris @buttonslives You’re correct, he wasn’t an Apostle. He had hands laid on him by an Apostlea and clearly was given authority to ordain new ministers. Thank you for citing scripture that proves my point.

@EdOEwing1 @BillboardChris @buttonslives In Titus, Paul left Titus is Crete to identify men out of the body of believers who were above reproach to be appointed elders. Titus was not an Apostle. Rome has laid claim to exclusive authority which those verses don't justify.

@truth_ally @BillboardChris @buttonslives A church that is following the pattern of the NT has a pastor meet the qualifications described in Scripture, including being ordained by someone who was given authority from the Lord to do so. See Acts 6:1-6, Acts 14:23, 1Tim 4:14, 1Tim 5:22, 2Tim 2:2.

@EdOEwing1 @BillboardChris @buttonslives Roman Catholicism creating an office and calling it priest after a Greek word used in the NT doesn't automatically mean all the extra-Biblical traditions added to the office are legitimate. It is not a lie to question Apostolic succession.

@truth_ally @BillboardChris @buttonslives By the way, the word translated “elders” (presbyteros) is where the word “priest” comes from. The Catholic Church has presbyteral councils in each diocese and most parishes have pastoral councils. Please stop spreading lies about things that you don’t know about.

@steve_hanke Fake news

Israel CONTINUES to RELENTLESSLY bomb civilian areas in Lebanon. Yesterday, Israel bombed a HOSPITAL in Tyre, Lebanon. ISRAEL BREAKS CEASEFIRE AGREEMENTS AGAIN & AGAIN & AGAIN & INVITES WAR CRIMES COMPLAINTS. x.com/i/status/20552…

@EdOEwing1 @BillboardChris @buttonslives A church that is following the pattern described in the New Testament has a council of elders that meet the qualifications described in Scripture. The Roman Catholic church does not. Nor does a church that is led by one self-appointed man

@BillboardChris @buttonslives You’re right, much better to go to a church whose pastor appointed himself to be a leader of a flock.

@SharonM76880019 @BillboardChris @buttonslives Nothing man can do can generate grace from God. God's action is not continent upon a sinful priest

@BillboardChris @buttonslives Dear Chris, the Sacrament of reconciliation facilitated by a Catholic Priest is powerful and healing in drawing us back to God. Sure its up to us what we want to confess but never downgrade the grace and mercy that comes from this sacrament.

@realpersonWJ @BillboardChris @buttonslives He wasn't agreeing that there are verbal and mortal sins. You misinterpreted what he said.

@willpoisson @BillboardChris @buttonslives Telling the truth is more important than people's feelings

@BillboardChris @buttonslives Disrespecting some of your strongest supporters is not good for your cause. Shame.

@buttonslives tms.edu/find-a-church/ choose a church that teaches the Bible not man made traditions

@michaeljknowles @buttonslives I am a fan of yours sir, but Roman Catholicism is not apostolic

@buttonslives I strongly recommend the (One Holy) Catholic (and Apostolic) Church!

@LifeNewsHQ @realJennaEllis And can be forgiveness and peace with God through Jesus Christ if you believe he died on the cross for your sins
