Of course they forgot to mention how he's also killing people with masturbation machines and sending them on death rollercoasters

P.S. trying to get any info on this from elsewhere so can't find it. I think its fake but I wish it was true.

Redditards do5 understand Jesus. This is why humility is a virtue and pride is a vice

According to info received by Mission Rahma, Peru, story of Adam, Eve, snake and the apple happened 70 million years ago, but snake was a reptilian humanoid from Orion named Gadreel, apple was a certain hallucinogenic plant and Garden of Eden was a gigantic Laboratory Ship.

You know Hazbin Hotel got it KINDA right...

Actual question and something I've been mulling over for a while. Does the current tax system and subsequent social safety net basically fulfill your duty towards the poor? Provided you're in a 1st world country, of course.

I feel like if you pay into the tax system and the system basically ensures no poor person will starve or go naked (unless by choice), just by paying taxes you've made your minimum contribution to the poor, morally and spiritually.

Idk though because it kind of feels like a cop out at the same time. What are your thoughts?

13 Once again Jesus went out beside the lake. A large crowd came to him, and he began to teach them. 14 As he walked along, he saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax collector's booth. “Follow me,” Jesus told him, and Levi got up and followed him.

15 While Jesus was having dinner at Levi's house, many tax collectors and sinners were eating with him and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. 16 When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

17 On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

Always remember that we all stand as sinners before Christ, and need His divine forgiveness to be cleansed of our sins and blessed!

43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' 44 [a]But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, 45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet your [b]brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the [c]tax collectors do so? 48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

Don't you want to be a son of your father in Heaven? Bless those who hate you and love those who sin against you! With a heart full of joy!

YOU...LITERALLY...WORSHIP...A...DEAD...MAN...ON...A...STICK. THAT SAME DEAD MAN WAS SENT BY GOD TO SACRIFICE HIS OWN SON FOR EVERY SIN!! YOUR WHOLE RELIGION IS BUILT ON HUMAN SACRIFICE!!!! https://t.co/OYcQrvfPPg

THIS MY NOTE

Hey, I decided to make the hole, what the heck, glory to God.

Since this is our first thread let's make it a prayer thread, post ITT with your prayer request and I will pray for you.

Rev 2:1-7, Rev 2:18-29 please take it away Biblebot

I was struck by how Ephesus is praised for rightly calling out false teaching, but then sternly warned for not being loving. I see a lot of joy in right wing Christians in calling out absurd and harmful teaching. But without care it's a path to a callous heart in the face of people who need to be shown love.

Not that there are any rightoids on this gay cat dating website or anything.

Almost opposite is the church in Thyatira, love and faith are growing, but too quick to tolerate false teaching and sexual immorality. There's also a subtext that they're sucking up to the State in the hopes to curry worldly political favor - which Jesus warns will be fleeting when compared to the crowns he offers for following him. You can think up your own modern parallels if you feel like it.

My prayer is that you stand firm on solid teaching, but have an open and soft heart to those who are hurting, even as they hurt others. Meditate on Matthew 10:16.
