I guarantee you that Budde will be silenced. She is NOT the voice of modern American Christianity. Did you hear Franklin Graham's response? HIS is the voice of modern US Christianity.
So, if they are following jebus, they are walking in his footsteps. Matthew 10:34-37 I cherry pick verses the same way the "christians" cherry pick the verses.
They know they are not following Jesus, they would crucify him all over again if they could. They just pretend to be so they can make themselves look better.
Nope, no I don't. I'm done with the magical thinking and lending credence to the religious fanatics. There is no apocalypse, no bowls or trumpets. Just a sad trombone while a bunch of wealthy fuckers try to for a WWII do-over.
Our present day Joan of Arc. Bishop Mariann Budde knew Trumps juvenile acid tongue would scorch her and she proceeded. Elevate her face as the face of our resistance.
Someone calling themself Magnificent Grant has reposted my comments under their BlueSky ID. I’m flattered by their support but I don’t think much of their originality of thought.
Can we put Christians in quotation marks so that it reads "Christians" are offended? Those of us who actually strive to follow the Gospel don't like to be associated with the Cult of the Antichrist.
It doesn't offend CHRIST-filled christians. It offends Christian nationalists(Maga).There is a huge difference between the two. Christian nationalists claim to come in the NAME OF JESUS, to deceive millions. But show through their speech, behavior & action they are not of GOD/CHRIST.
15“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16You will know them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles?
As an atheist (despite my mom’s best efforts), I somehow have a better understanding of Jesus’ teachings than these pricks. Says a lot, wouldn’t you say.
Trump said she was speaking in a “ harsh “ tone to him and was nasty ???? Wonder if he had his hearing aid on full blast when she spoke in a quiet gentle manner
What's your thoughts on transnationalism socialism/globalist fascism and the fascists Third Worldism agenda in which the secular woke cult(a form of Hegelian cultism) emerged?
The 78 year old fragile grandpa with dementia got offended because he has a thin skin, he doesn’t like highly intelligent women telling him what to do, his ego got bruised. Bishop hurt his tiny little feelings.
Are we trying to change minds with memes like this? Or are we just reaffirming each other, on our side? Either way this has limited value when it stops here until the next outrage when we meme again. 😮💨
It seems Jesus is “woke” according to Trump & MAGAt they only like selected bits of the Old Testament 🙄 and controlling women, slavery, smiting perceived enemies. Blessed be the fruit.
I’m not a christian but am very pleased that christians who do not support the Nazi Republican party are finally finding a voice in the media. They may be a minority in the USA, but I will be happy to support them in opposing hatred, division and feeding the billionaires whilst poor people stave.
I’m not a religious person and I guarantee I know more about Jesus’ teaching than they do. “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” Matthew 19:24 Probably one of my favorite bible verses.
How does one discern between cultism and religion. How's the terms cult and culture related in regards to linguistics? What's God tell us in his word/The Bible in Romans 1:22-32?
Trump pardoned leaders of the white supremacist, rabidly anti-Semitic terrorist group the Proud Boys - their motto “6MWE” — which stands for “6 Million Wasn't Enough.” Referring to the Holocaust.
There was a woman on instagram who quoted the Corinthians saying that a woman shouldn’t be in the church. This was more important to her than the message of Christ about the merciful. These people aren’t Christian. They are weak bigots who hide behind their own version of the church. I’m done.
There’s always an out-of-context bible verse to be found to underline your own opinion. She didn’t see the disconnect in her being a woman, yet quoting the line that a woman should remain silent, to silence a woman? I will never understand their mental gymnastics.
doesn't matter, they're just trying to push the book of Revelations to its logical conclusion. they've already got their antichrist, and their beast and it's marks. next stop rapture! woot!
Most Christians do what their right wing asshole preacher tells them to do. They’ve never actually read their book of fairy tales. I’m not sure following a fictional character is good advice either.
The one (and probably the only) good thing about Trump is that he finally clarifies which "Christians" follow Christ and which don't. The Parable of the Wheat and Tares (Matthew 13:24-30) is unfolding before our eyes.
I'll wager any amount of money that those listening to her on inauguration day claim themselves as Christian but are the least Christian people in our nation.
Thank you. We act like those who are religious are somehow more in tune with the needs of the people. You just need to open your eyes and see the truth around you. Religion has become an excuse for those who wish to control us. End all types of segregation. We the people must act together.
Oh, it’s ALL demonstrative. The entire religiosity is based on “look at me”. If it wasn’t, there wouldn’t be mega churches, prayer in public, and television shows. They would stay at home and privately have their faith.
So true. American Christian values do not align with the Bible. They align with bigotry, prejudice, greed and hate! The exact opposite of what Jesus preached.
As a Christian and supporter of much stricter enforcement of immigration laws this post is so true!! Cheering for mass deportation with zero thought for doing it as humanely and compassionately as possible is cruel not Christian!
Please don't just share on this forum. Tell your reps in DC what you think. Resist. It only takes a few minutes and best of all..it doesn’t cost any money. We don’t need money in politics. We just need people to participate.
The folks whose response to a Middle Eastern Rabbi from a family of refugees, always talking about love your neighbor, regardless of demographics, & advocating helping the poor & marginalized would be “Deport that woke commie libtard ASAP!!” 😱😱
Please don’t lump him in with real Christian’s. His followers are a group of people that he has managed to convert to his cult culture that replaced the teaching of Jesus Christ with the teaching & worshiping of a vengeful, greedy, criminal “Donald Trump” This golden calf has a golden toilet. 🚽
I'll just say that if The Lord has someone like that pleading, know that it isn't for us the people, it is for the souls of those peeps about to try and do what they think they're going to do.
The parable of the guy with the barn comes to mind. The guy thought he was gonna do all that but died.
They hated it when this brave Bishop gently slapped them with some obvious truth about being real Christians. In fact one does not even need to be Christian to be a decent compassionate person! They tasted holy water and started to burn!!
