“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, “And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets⁠….

Clarification for anyone stumbling across this thread: The “Pharisees” Jesus criticized in the NT were probably Bet Shammai, whereas he endorsed most teachings of Bet Hillel, from which tradition modern Judaism descends. In the past, Christians conflated the two and blamed all Jews for his death…

My Jewish friends: In my ignorance of your history, I seem to have unwittingly touched a nerve. I’m sorry; this was not my intent, which was solely to call out hypocrisy in evangelical Christian leaders. I hadn’t realized this passage was used to justify Christian atrocities; this grieves me….

7,000 ARMED MAGA Soldiers marching in D.C! Chump plans MANY more marches on U.S. soil! WE DEMAND MORE FIGHT AGAINST MAGA CIVIL WAR!! EVERYTHING ELSE!!! IS A DISTRACTION! linktr.ee/revolution2025 NOW WE: ORGANIZE STRATEGIZE FIGHT! ORGANIZE STRATEGIZE FIGHT! ORGANIZE STRATEGIZE FIGHT!

Well said, Adam. Good catch. And thank you. I look forward to the day when you and I will again disagree on less foundational-threats-to-America debates.

For all of the good that "The Bible" contains and promotes, it also contains multitudes of predictions that are so generalized that they can fit almost anything. The usual folks using The Bible as a predictive soothsayer do so with a "quid pro Quo". It's moroniclly stupid to expect logic to sustain-

2) -the litney of lies that it demands to apply generalized predictions to random specific events. Yes, The Bible is a history of what happed in the past. Today, however, is an open book that has yet to be written, and to suggest that what a bunch of sheephearders said 2100 years ago is a ...

3) ... predictor of todays events literally defies logic. I can say with 100% certainly that some day the moon will go flying into the heavens never to be seen again. Because, science tells me the Moon is slowly moving away from the Earth. That doesn't mean that I'm a profet of God. If we wait ...

Every evangelical casually assumed that Jesus’ Mt 7 description of the people on the easy road with the wide gate was talking about those “liberals,” yet here they are sprinting along it.

I’m an ExChristian (non-believer) I try to live my life by the basic human morals, which are universal and do require anything else. If a group or person is not in harmony with those morals they are immoral regardless of what they believe.

Yep. I left evangelicalism in the mid-80s after the church began pimping tax cuts as Biblical while simultaneously supporting cuts to the safety net. Christ hasn't been the driver of conservative American faith in a long time. (See also: Evangelicalism during Jim Crow.)

This is simply not true. Atheist or believer or other, there is only one root of evil: When we value the material of this world more than the people living, with you, upon it. Our ONLY purpose is to love and care for each other.

Sounds terrible. As a Canadian it hurts. Sounds like the corruption wasn't limited to the church. There are plenty on non-religious horrors; go learn about the multi-generation torture mines in Syria. But are you willing to condemn all of humanity's religions, and the philosophy they bore?

Jesus said, "Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’ There will be some surprises in the hereafter!

2 Timothy 3, 2-9 Describes Trump exactly. Says to have nothing to do with people like him. "People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal,...."

That’s the problem with Republicans. Y’all care more about putting on a show with some fake ass Bible verses when you should be concerned about the constitution. Bible verses are just what they are written words the constitution is a living breathing thing. Just maybe Republicans should do theirjob

‼️WARNING‼️ We cannot let Trump put a majority of USA troops in one spot just to celebrate his birthday.This would be USA Suicide. Because, our troops would be gathered in one place like sitting ducks for Iran or Russia to eliminate.Also, its waste. Fire Hegseth for approving this military disaster.

Whoever wrote the books of the bible were men, not gods or prophets and they based their writings off the human nature of the environment that surrounded them at the time. Of course you can predict that unrestrained human nature will lead to chaos without any checks and balances

ABSOLUTELY UNTRUE. When we are faced with evil, we must rebuke it and separate ourselves from it. There is no good that comes from finding unity with evil, even if it is done to maintain peace. FLIP THOSE TABLES.

It was the best of times, then Trump got elected. Populism puzzles me, even as I continue to study it. One cause is that democracy leads candidates to over-promise, leading to widespread disappointment. After two-party flip-flop ping, voters try someone else. That's where the cunning populist is.

FYI, and I’m sure you know… The Christian religion has been hijacked by a bunch of demons. This is the way of the darkness. It gets the blind to follow… And until people open their eyes to the darkness, things will not change.

You were part of this philosophy; the hate and the division. You right there to jump into politics and ride that Trump train. You'll never wash away those stains, and you'll forever be just like Leer...in your eyes someone has to be beneath you sweeping the floor...

Sincere #Trump supporters think he is God. So in portraying himself as the pope, the president was actually exemplifying and teaching humility. #ImpeachTheMotherFucker #FuckTrump #Resist

The Bible mentions people like Trump being straight from the pit of hell repeatedly ( Proverbs 6:16-19) but his fake christian followers don’t actually read the Bible. He’s the closest thing to the antichrist we’ve seen in our lifetime bar reading about Hitler- he has not one redeeming quality.

Holy Hell, the only thing the Bible is good for is telling us what not to do; yet the worst keep repeating the same over and over...

“Then the LORD said to me, ‘The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions, worthless divination, and the deceit of their own minds.'” – Jeremiah 14:14

Before this, I thought the best proof of God’s absence was the Russian Orthodox Church. Now I’m sure that Trump’s existence is the best proof that there is no God.

Thank you for posting this, I see that we (and many others) are of kindred spirit. I further appreciate how this has encouraged many to reply accordingly. Interesting the amount of scriptures that appear to address our current conditions...
