“And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” 2 Corinthians 4:3-4

Islamists are literally beheading Christians in Nigeria.. I wonder why the activists who care so much about innocent people dying rarely talk about this..

THIS MORNING! His ears cut off. Beaten. Shot in the back. Stabbed. This morning, cattle farmer Donovan Marx was viciously attacked on his farm between Potchefstroom and Ventersdorp in the North West. He was severely beaten. His ears were cut off. He was shot in the back/shoulder (doctors were still trying to remove the bullet) and stabbed in the leg with a sharp object. He’s fighting for his life in a Potchefstroom hospital. A family member left the farm shortly before 8am. Attackers then struck. A farm worker was tied up but managed to free himself and raise the alarm. The attackers fled in Marx’s truck. They’re still free. VF Plus says the full details of the torture are so disturbing they won’t even publish them. This is not “ordinary crime.” This is the same pattern of extreme brutality; ears severed, severe beatings, shootings, stabbings that has been targeting White farmers for years. English media is already silent. No front-page outrage. No presidential condemnation. If the roles were reversed, it would dominate news for weeks.

Dr. Paul Thomas lost his medical license for studying 3,324 children and proving that unvaccinated children were much healthier than vaccinated children.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Dr. Thomas surrendered his Oregon medical license after Oregon Medical Board findings of unprofessional conduct and repeated gross negligence in patient care. The study was retracted for methodological issues; conclusions not supported by strong scientific data. wmc.wa.gov/news/out-state… mdpi.com/1660-4601/18/1… retractionwatch.com/2021/08/11/aut…

⚠️ Austin C is a false prophet/teacher, beware. This one has another gospel. ⚠️ Salvation or heaven can not be earned. Grace is God's unmerited favor and we receive salvation by faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. Don't confuse salvation with discipleship.

Also, do as the Bereans & search the scriptures daily with a literal, grammatical, historical & contextual hermeneutic. The church/body of Christ is not judged in the sheep & goat judgment, we are judged at the bema seat (judgement seat of Christ).

I didn't unfollow but this is finger pointing at brethern who you do not know nor their walk. My husband plays mtg. Used to play weekly in tournaments to reach the lost with the gospel. Some of us go where others choose not to. It's not easy to share the gospel, but ALL need it.
I got unfollowed on here by a long standing Christian acquaintance on here because I dared to suggest that Christians should avoid magic the gathering. It’s really got its claws into people.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT 🚨 American Medical Doctor in Chicago is blowing the whistle on a new practice that’s taking place It’s called “close your eyes and immunize.” He says it’s becoming very common to vaccinate children when they go under anesthesia WITHOUT PARENT CONSENT often times because the parents are signing to do what’s best for the child under anesthesia, but doctors are now including vaccinations as necessary Again, you take your child in for a surgery, sign the paper saying to do what’s best for your child, the hospitals are now using that consent to vaccinate your kids without your knowledge. Including with the COVID vaccine “I'm a family doctor who practices in the suburbs and the city of Chicago. I wanted to offer some practical advice tonight to those of you who, like me, might be angry and very concerned about the news reports detailing the rise of what one hospital is calling, close your eyes, we'll immunize. This is a growing practice, perhaps pioneered at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, but something that's been around longer than the powers that be would like us to know, where children are undergoing elective and emergency medical surgeries and being immunized while they're away from their parents in the operating room” “Parents have often given consent unknowingly or under duress for these vaccinations to be performed. And one of the things that's clear from the reports is that informed consent, which should be one of the hallmarks of medical ethics and practice today, is rarely being provided to the extent that it should be” “Flu shot seems to be the most popular thing to administer, but RSV, COVID, and some other things are now being administered without the parents knowing while their child is in the hospital. So imagine you take your child to the hospital because they have terrible belly pain. Turns out they have appendicitis and any of appendix taken out. You sign a form saying that the surgeon and the medical team can do whatever they think is necessary to help your child. You didn't know your child's getting a flu shot 15 minutes later before the first incision is made” Okay this is CRIMINAL in my opinion so I did my own research and found out what states this is happening in, Pennsylvania at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia . Official “Close Your Eyes, We’ll Immunize” program running since 2023. It gave 2,054 influenza vaccine doses in the 2025–2026 season to children already under sedation anesthesia Colorado at Children’s Hospital Colorado. Offers influenza vaccine under general anesthesia to eligible patients since 2020. More than 18,000 patients have received it. Additional vaccines are sometimes given at the request of a primary care clinician Illinois at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago and its ambulatory surgery centers. Offers flu shots under anesthesia for eligible patients age 6 months and older during scheduled surgeries and procedures California at Kaiser Permanente Santa Clara Medical Center in Northern California. First KP facility in the region to offer flu shots to pediatric surgical patients ages 6 months–18 while under anesthesia for planned procedures

Maybe God didn't shrink your circle to hurt you. Maybe He shrunk it to protect you. Not everyone who smiles at you is celebrating you. Not everyone who sits at your table belongs there. And not everyone who leaves your life is a loss. Sometimes we spend so much time grieving who walked away that we miss what God is doing in the process. The friendship ended. The invitation stopped coming. The calls got fewer. The circle got smaller. And it hurt. But what if God was making room? Room for peace. Room for growth. Room for the people who don't just love you when you're useful to them. Because some people are assigned to a season. Not a lifetime. And sometimes the most loving thing God can do is remove the people who are keeping you from where He's trying to take you. So if your circle looks different these days, don't automatically see it as rejection. Some of the greatest acts of God's protection feel painful before they make sense. The wrong people leaving your life isn't always a punishment. Sometimes it's an answer to a prayer you didn't even know you were praying. Cheyenne T.

No, sir. Calvinists do not fully understand or teach the full counsel of God. “As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live…” (Ezekiel 33:11) And how shall they hear without a preacher? (Romans 10:14) The Lord draws, but men still must respond. “And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.” (John 5:40)
Everyone’s a Calvinist in the end.

The disagreement is not whether Christians ought to obey. It is whether their standing before God rests upon Christ's finished work or ultimately remains contingent upon their practical sanctification.
𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗺 𝟭: You’ve backloaded works as a condition for eternal salvation. You assume that obedience enabled by grace cannot be necessary for salvation. That is precisely what you must prove. No works earn initial justification. But Paul tells believers that if they live according to the flesh they will die; if by the Spirit they put its deeds to death, they will live (Romans 8:13). Grace enables the obedience God requires. 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗺 𝟮: Romans 4:5 excludes works. Romans 4:4–5 excludes treating justification as wages God owes us. It does not establish that subsequent obedience is optional. James expressly teaches that Abraham’s faith cooperated with his works and was completed by them (James 2:22–24). Receiving justification freely does not make perseverance in living faith unnecessary. 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗺 𝟯: Ephesians 2:8–10 separates salvation from subsequent works. It distinguishes them; it does not make obedience optional. Ephesians 2:10 says we are created by God in Christ to walk in good works - that’s our purpose. You cannot appeal to verses 8–9 while making verse 10 optional. The grace that saves us empowers us to fulfill God’s purpose, and Paul warns that those who persist in the works of the flesh will not inherit His kingdom (Galatians 5:19–21). In the same letter, Paul warns that the immoral, impure, and covetous have no inheritance in Christ’s kingdom (Ephesians 5:5–7). Your interpretation must account for that warning. 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗺 𝟰: Christ’s finished work saves, not our obedience. Christ’s sacrifice is the source of salvation. Our obedience is our response to His grace, not a repair to His sacrifice. Hebrews 5:9 identifies Him as the source of eternal salvation to all who obey Him. Scripture joins what you separate. 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗺 𝟱: Matthew 7:22–23 condemns those appealing to works. In context, Jesus rejects people appealing to miracles while practicing lawlessness. He does not condemn obedience or retract verse 21, which requires doing the Father’s will. He immediately contrasts those who hear His words and do them with those who hear and fail to act (Matthew 7:24–27). Extraordinary deeds cannot excuse disobedience. 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗺 𝟲: John 6:40 makes belief the Father’s will. Yes, but it does not define saving belief as compatible with refusing obedience. Jesus also warns that branches already in Him can be removed for bearing no fruit and burned for failing to abode (John 15:2–6). He connects aboding in His love with keeping His commandments. (15:10). 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗺 𝟳: Philippians 2 addresses people already saved. Exactly. My argument concerns obedience after justification. (Being saved) Paul commands believers to work out their salvation because God works within them (2:12–13). God’s action enables their cooperation; it does not eliminate its necessity. 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗺 𝟴: Believers should put on the new man. Ephesians 4:22–24 commands abandoning the old life and living in holiness. Your diagram cannot turn that command into optional advice. Paul warns that those practicing the works of the flesh will not inherit God’s kingdom (Galatians 5:19–21). Obedience is necessary, and grace makes it possible.

Answered thread.
1/ You're repeatedly equating obedience commanded of believers with obedience required to retain eternal life. Those are not the same proposition. Rom 4:5: God justifies the one who "worketh not, but believeth." Rom 5:1: "being justified by faith, we have peace with God."

The distinction remains, obedience matters enormously in the believer's walk, but that does not make it the basis or condition of justification. Rom 4:4–5 is particularly difficult to reconcile with any requirement to establish or maintain justification through works. We are to..
God’s grace enables our obedience; it does not make obedience optional. Jesus says doing the Father’s will is necessary to enter heaven (Matthew 7:21). He is the source of eternal salvation to all who obey Him (Hebrews 5:9). Paul commands believers to work out their salvation because God works in them. (Philippians 2:12–13). These are requirements, not suggestions.

...put on the new man/put on Christ/walk in His Spirit. That is what Paul EXHORTS the believer to do. Discipleship is what we SHOULD DO once we are saved, but it is not salvation nor a condition of it. Rick is backloading works into salvation. That's another gospel.

Salvation is easy & it's a freely given gift. We RECEIVE the gift through faith. Discipleship is hard & costly & it takes a daily choice in obedience to put on the new man (only believers can do this) & be in the world but not of it. youtube.com/shorts/EaFQPSrnV…
