@NahaGC_Joshi As they were called in the first days, a follower of The Way

私は キリスト教という 宗教をやっているのではなく よみがえられて 今も生きておられる イエス・キリスト✝️✨ という真理に 生きているのです🙏💗✨

@kotakot07088271 That is a generous offer, and I pray that God uses you to the benefit of Japan for His glory.

This announcement is intended solely for Protestant or Catholic Christians who have felt a calling to missionary work in Japan. I am planning to offer private Japanese language classes for them.

@combatmedic I enjoy breakfast, but normally fast from dinner until lunch.

愉快で充実した朝食論争を楽しんでいるのだが、アメリカ人は、朝はコーヒー派が多いらしい。今の所、炭酸飲料派は観測出来ていない。

Our military installations have been turned into gun-free zones—leaving our service members vulnerable and exposed. That ends today.

@miumiu708 Take joy in hardship as it draws you closer to him.

キリスト教に入ってから、何か嫌なことや、不安なことや、不幸に見えることが自分に起こっても「神さまからの何かのメッセージかも」とか「神さまが助けてくれるかも」と考えて、 前より　メンタル落ち込みすぎることが少なくなってきた。持病が悪い時以外は。

@ojisantakashi Gifs need no translation

海外の人はリプにGIFを使ってくる人が多いな。向こうではそれが流行りなのか？

@May_Roma The internet culture is far more vulgar than real world, however I'm certain that Americans are more vulgar than Japanese in general. I have to remind some friends not to use that language around kids at times.

@hosi8huru We can appreciate fine works of art and beautiful things, and be respectful of things that belong to others without it being a form of worship. God gave man the skill to make such things. Shrines can still be appreciated, just in a different way.

私はたとえ異教の物であっても、他者を尊重するゆえ彼らの大切な物も尊重する。 それは真の神、主が私たちの自由意志を尊重してくださっていることと同じ思いだ。 しかし福音を通して、偶像崇拝を神は嫌うと神の思いを伝える。 世界のクリスチャンはこの件をどのように考えますか？

@BishopJaxi A more self reflective stance would be to examine the perspective portrayed by the other side to explain where their misunderstanding may be coming from.

@BishopJaxi Catholics describing what protestants believe is just like protestants describing what Catholics believe. But sides tend to either misunderstand the other or just describe it disingenuously. They often describe what they believe and treat it as the official church stance.

Protestant apologetics is so often just Protestants pretending to be Catholics and arguing with themselves. That should already tell you something. They invent a fake Catholic priest, make him say absurd things no informed Catholic would say, and then act like they have refuted the Church. Why? Because when they debate themselves, their dishonesty goes unchecked. That is exactly what is happening here. The whole skit is built on the lie that the Catholic Church teaches that salvation begins by grace but is ultimately maintained by man earning heaven through his own works. That is false. The Church teaches that salvation is by grace, that man cannot merit initial justification, and that even our cooperation with grace is itself enabled by grace. Catholics do not believe we place God in our debt. What Protestants do is hear that obedience, perseverance, worship, and holiness matter, and then immediately scream "works righteousness!" But that proves too much. If obedience having any role means "works salvation," then repentance is works salvation. Perseverance is works salvation. Holiness is works salvation. Yet the Bible explicitly commands all of these. So, what they really reject and hate is the biblical truth that grace calls man to obedience, perseverance, and holiness, not a consequence-free profession of faith and easy believism. Ephesians 2:8-9 does not refute Catholicism. Catholics fully affirm that salvation is the gift of God and not something we can boast in as though we saved ourselves. What these men always ignore is verse 10: we are created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. So yes, we are not saved by works as though grace were unnecessary. But neither are we saved into a dead, fruitless, consequence-free Christianity. And the Sunday Mass point is dishonest, too. The Church does not teach that attending Mass is some human achievement competing with Christ’s finished work. The Eucharist is Christ’s gift, not man’s replacement for grace. So once again, Ryan did not refute Catholicism honestly. He invented a cartoon Catholic, lied about what the Church teaches, and then declared victory over his own caricature. He is a textbook bad-faith actor.

@Fant_Mch Yes, but not for that reason. That issue is a problem of Paula White, and televangelists in general.

アメリカ合衆国の政治というのは冗談か何かなのかな？

@May_Roma Along with my wife and 3 teenage boys, we use 2-3 gallons of whole milk every week.

アメリカでアメリカ人はいつも牛乳を飲んでいた。学食で男子は一リットルぐらい飲んでいた。スーパーに行くと牛乳はガロンという単位で灯油のタンクみたいだった。重くてもてなかった。謎だった。なぜそんなに牛乳が好きなのか。

@ankoromochuu I own almost every one of Miyazaki's films.

海外の皆さんはジブリを観ますか？ 日本が舞台の「となりのトトロ」は観たことありますか？ メイは私の妹の幼い頃にそっくりなのです😂

@lemoncat333 @May_Roma I don't think this is a foreigner problem. It's the TikTok culture problem, these annoying people do the same thing in America too. They are narcissists with no respect for those around them.

@May_Roma 外国大好きだった私が、外国人嫌悪になってきたのはこんな人たちのせいです。

日本はこの様な外国人を一切歓迎していません。

@bunburyoudoujp I don't think it is that far from a change in perspective. Instead of little gods in all things, it would be the one God who created all things and commanded men to steward all creation. The practice would be essentially the same, but the focal point would change.

Japan is a country that has traditions related to the observance of Shinto and Buddhist traditions. Catholicism would wipe out those traditional practices since they are tied to revering other gods. Change the culture, change the people.

@inari_oji There is not a country in the world without some dark history, globalists write the books and leftist teachers will use shame to break down national identity to help push the globalist agenda. Whether it is true or not, history is not your identity. It is not who Japan is now.

昨夜､娘から衝撃的な発言があり急遽家族会議をしました…。 娘曰く「日本人に見られるのが恥ずかしい…」と…。 なぜなのか問いましたら「歴史の授業で南京大虐殺を知った」と。 娘はインターナショナルスクールですので､私は「それは日本人の先生から教わったの？」と訊きました。 すると､「IGCSEのカリキュラムの中でイギリス人の先生から教わった」と…。 ※IGCSE（Cambridge IGCSE）とは、14〜16歳（日本の中学〜高校1年）を対象とした世界的に認められた中等教育修了資格です。 イギリスが中心で､この後にIBやAPなどに進みます。 家内が「そんなこと､していないのよ！」と言いますと､「ママやパパの頃は事実が分からなかったのよ」と… 私から､「1985年に南京大虐殺記念館が中国でオープンするまでは､南京事件って言って中国も騒いでいなかったんだよ」と言っても「それは日本の視点で､世界からは違うよ」と…。 衝撃を受けました私は､添付の記事（日本のメディアではなくNYタイムズ）を見せて､冷静に虐殺する合理的なメリットがないことや､中国のプロパガンダの特性などを話しました。 蒋介石の行動や､南京での日本軍と現地の方のスナップ写真なども見せました。 娘はまだ半信半疑のようです。 私が心配しているのは､上記の内容を海外の教育プログラムに入っていること…。何とかできないか模索中です。

@HouseofMourthia Public caning of tic-tokers seems appropriate

Japan Bros: We are totally cool with you guys summarily executing people who do this.

@roikfbuwgc254 Those are my preferred brands

どちらも日本の輸入食品店では販売されてないけど、みんなが全米ナンバーワンだと言ってる！本当か！？

@Witchwatch99 There are lots of Americans with Japanese heritage, if they love America then they are Americans.

そうなると、日本からカリフォルニア以上の大量の選挙人が選出される事になるので大統領が日本人になる可能性が非常に高くなるがよろしいか？

@SubRosaMagick In the south, yes.

Be honest… does ANYONE actually use these words in real life? 🤣 Bamboozled Flabbergasted Discombobulated Shenanigans Cattywampus Lollygag Malarkey Kerfuffle Brouhaha Nincompoop Skedaddle Tomfoolery Flibbertigibbet Pumpernickel
