@elimcgowan Desmond Tutu’s No Future Without Forgiveness

What have y’all been reading, recently.

@jakedell73 @BernieDainton Nationalism is a very attractive ideology, but it often blinds us to our true calling. Jesus summed it up in Matthew 28:18-20 to go into all the world with the good news of Jesus Christ. We called to make disciples of people from every nation.

@BernieDainton That may be how you read it

Here's the thing about all those "recent Catholic converts" They keep showing up in my Protestant Reformed church 18-36 months after they’ve “come home to Rome” they’re in my office, at my Bible study, or meeting me for breakfast Asking me about the "bait and switch” They were promised unity, beauty, and unchanging doctrine They got a modernist, globalist institution instead, with a deeply anti-American agenda

@tparlimited @bonhoefferchild Both American political extremes want control over speech. Far left have pc speech codes Conservatives ban books Both extremes are profoundly opposed to free speech

@bonhoefferchild This will be the dumbest thing I read today. If you on the left had the power you would have thrown him in jail/fined Into poverty for speaking out against LGBTQ or abortion, however.

As we mark another anniversary of Bonhoeffer's death, it bears noting that the current regime ruling America would have killed him just as the Nazis did ... and for the same reasons the Nazis did. The MAGA Christen and the Deutsche Christen are twin movements.

@eleeSexton @brettmecum @snickalous @MLJHaynes @Pontifex @realDonaldTrump He’s free to block anyone Just like he is free to be wrong Most MAGA People aren’t malicious just caught up in the slogans and concepts rather than the details of scripture and real life

@unlikelyj @brettmecum @snickalous @MLJHaynes @Pontifex @realDonaldTrump Poor @brettmecum blocked me before I could get the chance to tell him that the Vatican confirmed the report that they were harassed by this crap administration. Someone let him know he was wrong, again 😉

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV on Trump’s warning to Iran of “civilization” destruction — “This is truly not acceptable. Here there are certainly questions of international law, but even more than this a question of morality for the good of people.” He adds the war is “continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything… is only provoking more hatred throughout the world.” “attacks on civilian infrastructure are against international law, but it is also against sign of the hatred and division that we are capable of.” Video @Reuters

@eleeSexton @brettmecum @snickalous @MLJHaynes @Pontifex @realDonaldTrump The best response to “Christian” nationalism is restating the simple truth like Pope Leo has. I don’t believe Brett is to far gone. But he definitely needs some serious help from the Holy Spirit and a long time studying the 4 Gospels

@eleeSexton @brettmecum @snickalous @MLJHaynes @Pontifex @realDonaldTrump I pray for our confused brother, He has a good heart, Many in MAGA mean well, but end up following someone besides Jesus. Brett doesn’t recognize how far away he has drifted from Jesus and his actual teachings. He thinks he’s in the 1% that understands truth.

@brettmecum @eleeSexton @snickalous @MLJHaynes @Pontifex @realDonaldTrump My poor confused brother you claim to be Catholic, but you are clearly in disagreement with the pope, and Jesus. What grounds do you even begin to claim to be a Catholic or a Christian? Is it familial association or actual faith in Jesus and his real teaching?

@eleeSexton @unlikelyj @snickalous @MLJHaynes @Pontifex @realDonaldTrump I cannot help it if you want to fall for the rampant clickbait and propaganda out there simply because it fits the narrative of your worldview.

@brettmecum @eleeSexton @snickalous @MLJHaynes @Pontifex @realDonaldTrump I appreciate your prayers, but anyone who listens to Jesus would consider your interpretation to be gravely mistaken. Jesus called us to a different kind of life. For centuries empires have twisted Jesus words to justify violence. That isn’t Jesus’ way.

@unlikelyj @eleeSexton @snickalous @MLJHaynes @Pontifex @realDonaldTrump I’ll pray for you. God Bless.

@brettmecum @eleeSexton @snickalous @MLJHaynes @Pontifex @realDonaldTrump You’re twisting Jesus’ words. Good have mercy

@unlikelyj @eleeSexton @snickalous @MLJHaynes @Pontifex @realDonaldTrump Why do you choose to push an incorrect understanding of the meaning and narrative?

@brettmecum @eleeSexton @snickalous @MLJHaynes @Pontifex @realDonaldTrump Why do you chose to ignore the plain meaning of Jesus’ words?

@unlikelyj @eleeSexton @snickalous @MLJHaynes @Pontifex @realDonaldTrump You’re have a fundamental misunderstanding of what “turn the other cheek” actually means. It’s okay, 99% of people do as well.

@brettmecum @eleeSexton @snickalous @MLJHaynes @Pontifex @realDonaldTrump Jesus teaches us to love our enemies. He teaches us to bless those who persecuted us. He teaches us to turn the other cheek. That’s what he actually says. Those are truly Jesus’s values. Many people claim to be “Christian”but don’t sound anything like him

@eleeSexton @snickalous @MLJHaynes @Pontifex @realDonaldTrump God bless!

@bonhoefferchild @joe_rigney Hey Bon these guys need to spend a long time considering Jesus’ actual teachings in Matthew 5 and Luke 6. Jesus directions to love our enemies seem to be a real weak spot in their biblical and religious formation.

@joe_rigney You know better than to lie when the full text and video of that particular podcast is public. BP was very clear. Dressing up his desire for Talarico’s destruction in a passing semantic dodge doesn’t erase the rest of his words. Don’t be a liar.

Real Christians know that "being crucified with Christ" is a biblical expression for conversion (Galatians 2:20). James is not a real Christian.

@TwinsAlmanac Chance the Rapper song Letters

Send me some song recommendations. I’m at gymnastics practice and have Spotify and headphones 🎵🎧

@bonhoefferchild @StephenM I keep thinking the truth and reconciliation model will be the best. Amnesty only after complete honesty.

@StephenM Republicans killed a mother of two. Goebbels, your Nuremberg awaits. 2 more years and accountability starts.

Democrats defunded the United States Coast Guard.

@Stormfront48 @RepMaxwellFrost Minneapolis was terrorized by masked agents for 2 months.

@RepMaxwellFrost Maybe you should check out towns like DC, Minneapolis, Denver, El Paso, Los Angeles where ICe has made the places safer. Just a thought.

I’m boycotting Trump’s State of the Union tonight. We cannot normalize an authoritarian president. Period. Plain and simple.

@PugnaciousPill @bonhoefferchild @realmattcarr I seem to remember reading someplace in scripture, multiple times, we are to stand with the widows, the orphans, and the aliens in our midst That’s the heart of my pro-life ethos When Jesus talked about judgment, he said we will be judged for how we care for the least of these

@PugnaciousPill @bonhoefferchild @realmattcarr At this moment, in history, we have the capacity to incarcerate people who have committed grave crimes. Unfortunately, in the United States, our government currently incarcerates women and children simply because of their country of birth or the color of their skin.

The death penalty is consistent w/ a pro-life worldview because it establishes the sanctity of human life - *because* humans are made in God's image & life is of inestimable value, taking it merits nothing less than death. Death penalty *policy* in the US is extremely debatable

@dad_mode11 @bonhoefferchild @realmattcarr It’s the best seat on the plane But I’d sure like a cup of coffee with CS Lewis

@bonhoefferchild @realmattcarr Oh wow the Lutheran named "Bonhoeffer's Child" picked Luther and Bonhoeffer 🤣🤣

4. I'm listening in on Athanasius and Calvin the whole flight. But Ima also lean up to shake hands with Lewis and Graham.

@JDVance @jules8675308 Yeah, why is that?

Remember when we learned that our wealthiest and most powerful people were connected to a guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring? And then that guy died mysteriously in a jail? And now we just don't talk about it.
