@ScruffyOldApe @Servant588 @Franklin_Graham When Jesus died on the cross, He put an end to the OT law (Rom 10:4; Gal 3:23-25; Eph 2:15). In place of the Old Testament law, Christians are under the law of Christ (Gal 6:2) expressed in John 13:34, “A new comdmnt I give you, that you love one another just as I have loved you”

@ScruffyOldApe @Servant588 @Franklin_Graham God never meant the OT law to govern all ppl for all time (Jer 31:31-37; Ezek 36:22-28; Heb 8:1-10:18). It pointed to Christ (Gal 3:23-25) who fulfilled the law & offers His righteousness to ppl who place their faith in Him. The OT law was meant to govn God’s ppl in Promised Land

“Then Jesus said to His disciples, ‘If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?’” (Matthew 16:24-26)

@hamzy001 @reedmom54 @RealShahriqKhan Does that mean that if you go to the bookshop down your street and pick up a copy of the Bible and read it, you will understand that Jesus is God?

@reedmom54 @RealShahriqKhan Go to that bookshop down your street and pick up a copy of the Quran (Translated) when you read the Quran you will understand that Jesus is not God

Let me be honest. I wanted to stay Muslim so badly. Not even because of God at first, but because of the life attached to it. My dad’s businesses were waiting for me. Signed and ready. My mom’s community. Doctors, lawyers, politicians. Connections everywhere. Success was laid out in front of me. There was even an arranged marriage lined up. A doctor. Beautiful future. House. Wedding. Stability. All I had to do was say one sentence: “Yeah, I still believe.” That was it. Keep the money. Keep the family approval. Keep the life. But here’s what ruined it for me: I could not unsee Jesus. Once I really read the Quran and compared it to the Gospel, I couldn’t force myself back into pretending. And honestly, knowledge becomes heavy at that point. Because I didn’t leave Islam to rebel. I left because I could not betray what I believed was true. No business opportunity, no relationship, no comfortable future was worth denying the King who gave His life for me. So yeah, my life would have been easier if I stayed. But when Jesus says, “I am the way,” you don’t answer with, “But the other path feels safer.” You pick up your cross and walk.

@hamzy001 @ArizonaNews48 @RealShahriqKhan Pliny the Younger was a Roman official & governor of Bithynia who wrote of his encounters w early Christians & indicated Christ was worshipped as a deity by early believers; There are many other historical writings that dispute your comments abt there being no historical evidence

@hamzy001 @ArizonaNews48 @RealShahriqKhan Flavius Josephus (AD 37–97) a Jewish historian for emperor Vespasian wrote of 1st century Palestine & Jesus; Julius Africanus (ca. AD 221) used Thallus as a reference for the darkness that occurred on the day of Jesus’ crucifixion; (cont.)

@hamzy001 @Lysanneanon @RealShahriqKhan Another example is the different states of matter (solid, liquid & gas). Ex. water exists as a solid (ice), liquid & gas (water vapor). All 3 have a chemical composition that remains the same,H20, no matter if it’s unseen as humidity, or floating as a solid as ice, or as a liquid

@hamzy001 @Lysanneanon @RealShahriqKhan One popular, simple illustration of the Trinity is the egg. A chicken egg consists of a shell, a yolk & an egg white, yet it’s altogether 1 egg. Another illustration is the apple: the fruit’s skin, flesh & seeds all comprise the apple, just as the Father, Son & Spirit all are God

@GoingCrazeee @Eric_Schmitt @PeteHegseth Notice he didn’t capitalize the “c” in catholic. The word "catholic" (derived from the Greek “katholikos”) literally translates to "universal," "general," "all-inclusive". The exact definition depends on how the word is written, and in this case it is not “Catholic” (capital “C”)

@Eric_Schmitt @PeteHegseth I'm in agreement with everything EXCEPT the Catholic Church.

I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

@conservmillen Don’t be discouraged! There are still many of us who pray for Christian revival for America. Unfortunately it’s usually just the negative loudmouths who give their opinions, but we who hope in God’s grace for America are still the “silent majority”

I will never forget this unplanned, Holy Spirit–filled moment during Charlie Kirk’s memorial when the band began to play and the crowd held up signs with Charlie’s face that said, “Here I am, Lord send me.” It felt like, for a brief moment, tragedy might spark a spiritual revival and unify Christians on the Right. But in the months since, things have felt increasingly divided and disoriented. It appears we've lost people to a conspiratorial world view and pro-Islam world view. I asked @JeremyDBoreing whether we’re heading toward a great revival or total fracture. His answer, and his reflection on Pentecost, is powerful:

@KevinMZielinski @conservmillen Faith should be mixed with politics. God has much to say about how Christians should behave in this world & how we should impact others lives in all situations. America was built on Christian faith and pastors preached to the people about how God would want them to vote on issues

@conservmillen When you begin mixing your faith with politics—even leveraging your “Christianity” for political gain—you should reevaluate your faith.

@its_The_Dr A nightmare

The left call this the Dream Team, what do you call this?

@AOC Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, Selena Gomez, Celine Dion, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Jimmy Buffett, Kanye West, Sean Diddy Combs

@AOC This is just another of your countless ridiculous statements. MANY billionaires have EARNED their money; even many musicians are billionaires &I think they’d dispute your comment about their not working/earning their money. Think of Jay-Z, Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Dr. Dre,

Someone can certainly *make* a billion dollars. That’s not the same thing as earning. Growing fast and disrupting markets also often means chasing and wielding market power, political influence, and scale. Take Airbnb. They heavily lobby politicians against passing housing laws to protect working class residents because it’s bad for their business model. Airbnb could not exist at its current scale and size without the housing market destabilizations, displacements, and exploits that are supercharging the evictions of working people everywhere from Puerto Rico to Jackson Hole. Now young people are planning for a future where they will never be able to afford to own a home while others have 20 and live off renting it out to them at extortionate rates with zero protections. Yes, a tiny amount of people can make billions of dollars doing that. And millions of everyday Americans are bearing the cost.
