1 Now at that same time there were some present who were reporting to Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. 2 And Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you think that these Galileans were greater sinners than all other Galileans because they suffered these things? 3 I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. 4 Or do you think that those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them were worse offenders than all the men who live in Jerusalem? 5 I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.” Luke 13:1-5 (LSB) Not long ago I became involved in discussion on a blog that was proclaiming that it is perfectly fine for Christians to use profanity and those who call them on it are being hypocritical and self-righteous. I have been teaching for quite a while that the genuine believer is regenerate, a new creation, whom God is in the process of sanctifying. Our humility must come to predominate our pride….

“With Christian Post, there appear to be few illegal aliens unworthy of amnesty, as even criminal records do not merit deportation automatically.”
“Christ is the head of the church. The church does not need popes, cardinals, celebrity theologians, or anyone else to stand in that role. The ordinary ministry of the word is within the context of the local church and faithful preaching.”
(Linda Kimball – Renew America) “They who are called devils (demons; fallen powers) attempt…to seduce men from God who made them, and from Christ His first-begotten.” Justin Martyr, 2nd century A.D., Apology 58. (Crucial Questions About Spiritual Warfare, Clinton E. Arnold, p. 40)
“This gives false teachers like Kathryn Krick enormous power. They supposedly have the spiritual gift to locate and detect these invisible spirits, communicate directly to them, revoke their “legal rights,” and pronounce the victim free. But if the problem continues, which it always does, the victim returns for another session rather than questioning the false teaching.”
17 And as He was setting out on a journey, a man ran up to Him and knelt before Him, and began asking Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” Mark 10:17 (LSB)
“The truth of it is, the entire movement was demonic. The youth did drop out, of society, of college, from families. They wandered, spiritually and physically, into new realms. Realms of depravity such as experimenting with homosexuality and lesbianism. Realms of mind-altering drugs. Realms of different living situations such as polygamy or ‘free love’ communes.”
“The pursuit of happiness will not be enhanced by a vengeful political movement which wants to regulate how we live and what we are allowed to have. That’s a totalitarian point of view. Adolf, Joe Stalin, Mao, Ho Chi Minh all tried it as they blood-soaked their countries.”
“The COVID-19 pandemic feels like a fever dream now. Six years later, it’s almost impossible to believe any of it actually happened: the lockdowns, the shuttered schools, the toilet paper craze, the stupid barriers at supermarkets, the masked toddlers, and the businesses destroyed overnight.”
“While the Arc Institute researchers took strict safety measures, watchdogs warn the core technology opens the door to danger. If an AI can master whole-genome design to construct bacteria-killers, it could be only a matter of time before high-tech bad actors attempt to prompt similar language models to invent hyper-lethal, highly transmissible human plagues.”
“If leadership believed TPT was a faithful rendering of the Word of God, they would defend it. If they believed Simmons was exposed as a fraud, they would renounce it. Instead, they chose the third way beloved by every compromised institution under heat: delay, reframe, and hope the news cycle moves.“
“[Tucker] and the MAGA rebels who met on his estate in Maine over the weekend seem eager to split the Republicans. They have no chance whatsoever of electing anyone on a third-party ballot line. So the effect on the U.S. will be to elect more Democrats to Congress.”
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) NBC News projected early Wednesday that
(The Dissenter) There’s distasteful. There’s absolutely vile and disgusting. And then there’s this.
“Following the collapse of vaccine mandates in early 2022, a rapid memory-holing of the entire fiasco took effect. Unfortunately, many Christian leaders who have had ample time to repent of closing their churches, going along with senseless lockdowns, and pushing the vaccine on their congregants have also been noticeably quiet in the years since.”
“National Popular Vote Interstate Compact says that regardless of who wins the presidential vote in their respective states, they will only give their electors to the one who wins the national popular vote. Talk about disenfranchisement of voters and a threat to our representative democracy.”
