@MatrixMysteries Maybe it's bad choices and terrible money management?

“I don’t want to spend my whole life just surviving — I want a future.” “I’m not lazy. I’m tired of drowning.” A 24-year-old working full-time, buried in student debt and crushed by rent, can’t save no matter how hard he works. That’s not a lack of effort — it’s a RIGGED start

@safetygirl721 @JackPosobiec Not really. The assertion was made by whatever church first made the claim, they offered no proof, so the rest of us are free to think for ourselves.

@Broid7 @JackPosobiec And what's your expertise in being able to make that assertion? Do you have evidence that it is indeed not the place? Or are you just making assumptions? It is you who are making a positive claim now, so the burden of proof is on you. Your arg is self refuting.

The Altar of the Crucifixion within the Church of the Holy Sepulchre It rests upon the Rock of Golgatha itself, encased in glass If you kneel before it, you can place your hand into a small hole and touch the stone itself at the spot where the True Cross stood

Nope, you miss my point. Of course that is the general area, what the church did there is to say THIS is the exact spot, THIS is the exact rock, and there is simply no way to know that. Yes, Golgatha is the place, but no one knows the EXACT spot. The RC Church has made an idol out of a rock.

@Broid7 @JackPosobiec So let me ask this - are you a believer of Sola Scriptura? If you are, then the scripture and historians mention Golgotha as this place. Your denial of this fact is a refutation of the scriptures itself. So you either must concede SS, or your claim this isn't the place.

@unlimited_ls Squatting laws need to change

@DefiantLs Tucks has lost the thread of reality.

Tucker Carlson blasts President Trump for "mocking Islam" “You are not God, and only if you think you are you would talk this way. It's not just a mockery of Islam. No President should mock Islam.”

@sciencegirl Humans

What is stopping humanity from living peacefully together?

@CatholicJosh @TaylorRMarshall @JackPosobiec @grok It's not repetition, it's context and confirmation. God repeats Himself for a reason.

@Broid7 @TaylorRMarshall @JackPosobiec @grok Repetition does not strengthen the argument.

Being validly baptized is being “born again.”

@OliLondonTV And it's not your job to tell a president what he can and cannot say.

Tucker Carlson goes on furious tirade defending Islam; says Trump “mocked Islam.” “It’s not just mockery of Islam, no President should mock Islam. It’s not your job.”

Of course, first of all is the thief on the cross, Matthew 10:32, John 1:12-13, John 3:16, John 5:24, Acts 4:12, Romans 1:16, Romans 10:9-13, Ephesians 1:13-14, Ephesians 2:8-9, (Really, all of Ephesians 1 and 2) Titus 3:5, 1John 1:9. Don't get me wrong, EVERY person who has been born again by God's Spirit should be baptized in obedience to Jesus, He told us to. But baptism is not a requirement for or a means of salvation.

@Broid7 @TaylorRMarshall @JackPosobiec @grok @grok I am not familiar with the verse that states that baptism is not required for salvation. Can you cite it?

@DavidJHarrisJr Says somebody who clearly knows nothing of either...

🚨Nathan Apffel: "Christianity is socialism at its core." Thoughts?

I'll answer as God's Word does, "We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord." (2 Corinthians 5:8) If that is not true, then Jesus lied to the thief. But another consideration for you is that eternity is timeless, there are no days, so what appears to us as three days was no days in eternity. Remember, the concept of linear time is only for us on Earth, its principals don't apply in eternity.

@Broid7 @TaylorRMarshall @JackPosobiec It took Jesus three days to rise from the dead. So, where did the thief go after his death but before Christ's resurrection?

@CatholicJosh @TaylorRMarshall @JackPosobiec @grok I'd rather answer as God's Word would. The answer of course is Yes. And yes, every Christian needs to be baptized, but the question is; "Is baptism required for salvation?" The answer clearly is no.

@Broid7 @TaylorRMarshall @JackPosobiec @grok answer this as St. Augustine would, and whether this negates Jesus command to baptize

@AndrewCMarquez @TaylorRMarshall @JackPosobiec Yes, baptism is symbolic.

@TaylorRMarshall @Broid7 @JackPosobiec baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 1 Pet 3:21b

@RickPena19 @TaylorRMarshall @JackPosobiec So, if you aren't baptized you aren't saved and you don't go to Heaven, right?

@TaylorRMarshall @Broid7 @JackPosobiec We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life. - Romans 6:3-4

@TaylorRMarshall @JackPosobiec Did the thief on the cross go to Heaven?

Where in the Bible does it say “Baptism is showing outwardly what has already transpired inwardly”? My Bible says: Know you not that all we who are baptized in Christ Jesus are baptized in his death? For we are buried together with him by baptism into death: that, as Christ is risen from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also may walk in newness of life. (Rm 6:3-4)

When will you all learn that nobody "killed" Jesus...He GAVE His life to redeem us from the penalty of our violations of His laws. "Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again.  No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father." (John 10:17-18)

I see we are arguing the responsibility of who killed Christ on Easter. How very social media. The Supreme Jewish Council led by Caiaphas convicted Christ of blasphemy, in the dead of night, at trial which violated Jewish law 6 ways to Sunday. The high priest Caiaphas, knowing he had no authority to kill Jesus, convinced Pilate to try Jesus for treason. “He makes himself a king”. Pilate said repeatedly, “this man has committed no crime.” and tried to hand Christ off to Herod. He then tried to satiate the mob that had formed with a flogging. The mob, stirred up by the chief priests and elders, demanded crucifixion in exchange for Barabbas the thief, and finally Pilate washed his hands of it. The high priests facilitated the death of Christ. Fact. The Romans carried it out by law. Fact. The pitchfork mob, insisted on all of it, cheered it on, and mocked Him. Fact, It was a dark day, no one wants “their team” to be responsible for killing the Son of God, however it was also predestined that Jesus die to atone for the sins of believers so that we may have eternal life. Today we celebrate Easter and because everyone, Jew and gentile, played their role, He is Risen.

"He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay." (Matthew 28:6)

@Newsforce He forgot, "And let us ignore all of human history and the evidence of what we can see with out own eyes so that those who disagree with us can kill us all."

POPE JUST CALLED OUT EVERY WORLD LEADER ON EASTER Speaking to thousands in St. Peter’s Square this morning, Pope Leo XIV delivered his first Easter message with one demand aimed directly at the people running the world’s wars. “Let those who have weapons lay them down. Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace.” The first American-born pope has been one of the loudest voices against the ongoing war in the Middle East. This week alone he made a direct appeal to Trump to find an off-ramp out of the Iran conflict, and on Palm Sunday declared that God “does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war.” He also announced a special prayer vigil for peace on April 11, echoing a similar vigil Pope Francis held for Syria in 2013 that drew 100,000 people. He named no countries. He didn’t need to. Source: Vatican

@JeremyTate41 Nothing says "He Is Risen" like fireworks...

For centuries, Florence has lit up Easter morning with literal fire
