Only with “Republican Jesus”. You know, the white guy wearing a toga, a cross, and an AR15.
Don’t drag poor togas into this!
It’s weirdly fun to watch them all slowly lose their minds.
I forgot Jesus said to love thy neighbor, but only if they’re white so you know they’re not a DEI hire.
If you think Jesus got pissed with the money lenders at the temple he would have completely lost his shit with Charlie Kirk. Even Judas would have been grossed out.
one of the DEMONS apostate.
American Far-Right Evangelicalism is the biggest heresy in 21st century Christianity and possibly the most wide spread heresy in the history of the religion.
Contrary to what a lot of people think, I see this as a good sign. This right here is proof that MAGA has no future and that its days are numbered. A movement needs to be practical, flexible, coherent for it to last, and MAGA doesn’t have any of these. MAGA currently has no morals, no values, no platform, no leadership outside of Trump, nothing. Everything starts and stops with Trump. Anything he says goes no matter how contradictory, insane, or nonsensical. He has purged the GOP and his own movement of anyone and anything that is capable of independent thought. He has made sure that MAGA and the GOP are exclusively made up of of yes men, which happen to be either slimy opportunists or blind loyalists.
This means that the moment Trump dies, MAGA will die with him. Without Trump serving as the de facto prophet, the movement will immediately fracture and the different factions will start fighting each other. This will lead them to be ineffective, which in turn will make them irrelevant with time. As for the GOP, it will become a blank slate as it will stand for nothing. It that will either collapse or reform to completely change from the top down. Because of this, I don’t think MAGA is going to last long, but we just have to brace for the all the damage that they will cause in the little time they will be in power.

To be fair, any garden variety conservative could be an disciple. Judas, specifically.
They openly ignore and even violate Jesus’ words and values regularly. Just the other day someone in the senate shouted “silent prayers bring silent results” and forced everyone to pray aloud.
I immediately thought of Matthew 6:5. If you’re going to believe in fairy tales, maybe you should read the whole book first.
Judas, specifically.
Strongly disagree. Judas felt shame, and hung himself. Conservatives feel no shame and would never repent.
(Unless of course you read the other chapter of the fairy tale that says he didn’t kill himself but instead fell into a hole and exploded or something)
🤣 man “he felt shame and at least hung himself” never thought I’d LoL to the betrayal of Jesus.
Are they just going around trying to one up each other? What a ridiculous thing to say.
That is how fascism works. You must constantly increase your loyalty and worship or else you’re at risk of being the next one attacked.
Have these people just never actually read the Bible, or something?
Acquaintance from high school married a preacher man, “met” him on FaceBook. Very intelligent and well educated man. His doctorate in divinity is real, he worked for it, absolute expert. His arguments were well crafted and we loved poking each other. Plus, we were both hot pepper fanatics and growers. :)
Here’s the point: That’s the only Christian I’ve met in life that could actually debate Biblical views. I can turn most of them into a raging, spitting, cursing mess with a dozen questions, and they almost never engage for the whole dozen.
Guess I should include my best friend. He was a conservative Southern Baptist, very angry when I announced I had turned to atheism, though he was fine with me as a deist. LOL, I corrupted that fucker. Now he’s an atheist, liberal, and supports gay rights. But again, he’s an exception. His best traits are that he’s intelligent, way more so than I, and best yet, he can admit he’s wrong and is willing to examine his beliefs. Exceptions proving rules and whatnot.
My sister-in-law’s step dad and grandfather are both preachers with doctorates in theology. I can talk religion with them all day, and we all can recognize the issues with modern Christians. The people who actually understand the Bible are generally great people in my experience.
They aren’t the issue. It’s the people who use it as a tool/weapon who are the issue. They don’t care what it says, nor do they even know what it says usually. They might know a handful of passages that can be mangled to fit their hateful ideology, but it doesn’t really matter as long as they fell righteous.
Oooo, can you give us a list of your 12 questions? Or a bunch of them?
LOL, no list. I just grew up in a white-bread Presbyterian church, know the Bible well enough to argue, if not exact chapter and verse.
No but they thump it all the time
Read?
These Nazis are truly disgusting.
Jesus already had a 13th apostle… Dude doesn’t know about Matthias.
Or Paul, apparently.
There’s a handful of others, but it all depends on what one considers a canonical source. Like the Dead Sea scrolls vs a King James Bible.
Correct; early Christianity was far from monolithic, but the ultimate point is that this person very obviously doesn’t know what the fuck they’re talking about.
We all know they will only accept one bible.
Can’t read it , it’s not held upside down
yeah i’m not much of a biblical scholar and that’s what i was leading with.
While Matthias was only taking the chair left by Judas, Charlie would have really continued with the true legacy of Judas. 🙏
At what point are they just trolling and taking our attention away from what matters when voting
