Pssst! Reasonable people of faith can agree or disagree on abortion. Pass it along.
The thrust of the Bible is about social justice, and I think you should read it.
At this point, all-American rock star and my favorite legislator, Rep. Dan Crenshaw, stepped to the plate. He mixed Bible knowledge, political knowledge and some good ol’ Texas common sense to deliver the best tweet of the weekend.

This comment confuses Christ’s teachings on personal charity with socialist collectivism.
A good Christian shows generosity by giving to charities directly, volunteering, and tithing.
A “democratic socialist” signals their morality by demanding others share their wealth.
I disagree that Christianity is about the lefty created concept of combining “Social” and “Justice”.
“Changing the language” is the game they play to get
the mentally lazy or weak minded to agree with them.
Christianity is about the redemption of the individual
person who must go about that business on his or her
own responsibilty with the Grace of God supporting them.
The Bible, especially the “Beatitudes” can chart the course but they are a guide for the actions of each individual, not directions for a mob to feel good about telling others
how they must live under the totalitarianism of “social justice”. Like any communicable disease, it may be “social”
but it sure as hell ain’t “just”.
Yeah, social justice; because nothing says “Biblical Authority” quite like a LBGQWERTY tranny SJW.
Sometimes it seems like the people who have read and studied the Bible to understand it and the teachings in it are the most prone to quoting it for agenda driven purposes.
And generally out of context without consideration of the entire scripture to understand what it means.
Pray for them.
Wu is a libidiot. Don’t leftists love to twist the Bible for their own purposes. They look at it like the buffet at Bonanza. Pick and choose what is useful and leave the rest.
Pelosi and Buttigag have been trying it lately too.
The current liberal playbook.
…not ONLY does the Bible say you should give your OWN money for charity, it ALSO says you should shut UP about it.
This means if you do something for someone and THEN flap your jibs about it, #virtue signallers, you get NO points in heaven, and may God have mercy on your soul…
” 1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.”
Matthew 6:1-5
Wait, wy do we wish woe unto Wu?
(I think I covered all the vowel sounds thrre)
Having Crenshaw publicly humiliate Wu is sufficient. That’s why.
“Progsplaining”.
I like it!
…The Devil can quote Scripture too, and for the same reason, and Jesus was kind enough to warn us about THAT, too..
“15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.”
-Matthew 7:15-20
Been battling 3 SJ christians (lower case “c”)on Twit since Saturday. Not back there yet this AM but expect more lessons about abortion (it’s good)and giving to the poor (their god tells them we’re to give all that we own). Most important, no one should judge anyone, ever, ever, ever.
…Dan Crenshaw is fulfilling the charge of Timothy nicely…
“2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.”
-2 Timothy 4:2-4
…nicely done, Mr. Crenshaw.
…now libs, either put that Bible down before you hurt yourselves AGAIN, or actually READ it after praying to the Lord that he will give you UNDERSTANDING of it, for YOU need to seek His face TOO, before it’s too late…
‘“Maybe you didn’t have a very good Christian education,” Wu wrote.’
…well, YOURS evidently missed a few parts of the Bible there, mister, THIS one comes to mind for starters…
“21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.”
-Romans 1:21-32
…funny how tranny homosexuals always seem to MISS this one…
Look no further than the invasion and infiltration of Divinity Schools by Leftists.
They issue degrees for creatively and intentionally misinterpreting the Bible to further a leftwing agenda.
I work near Vanderbilt which is where Al Gore went to Divinity School to get out of Vietnam and have met a few of them. Every single one is a Gramscian commie without exception.
@Supernightshade — I often refer to that scripture in Romans to help explain what is happening in our society today. Of course it is timeless and applies to all times, but it seems especially acute now. It sure feels like we’ve got our own holy war heating up in this country. We saw smatterings of Leftists using the Bible to justify “Social Justice” but lately they have been amping up their coordinated efforts. And I think to myself, finally we Christians are going to have to suit up and throw down — go on offense.

” …not ONLY does the Bible say you should give your OWN money for charity, it ALSO says you should shut UP about it.”
THIS! I was attacked for saying this a while back.
I don’t want to boast, and I don’t want someone to make me write a ‘report’ about what I donated, either.
And I really hate to be FORCED into charity. Then it’s not a real donation, is it.
MJA — No, it’s not real charity to redistribute other peoples’ money! It’s theft!! And yours was the absolutely correct response. I would go even further to say that unless it causes the giver at least some hardship to give, it’s not particularly noteworthy, either. Many give when it’s easy to do so and to make themselves feel good about it. Think: Hollywood “Aid” galas given by very wealthy people associated with the film industry, or “Aid” concerts. Not only is it not a hardship, these people write it off on their tax returns.
@AA – and use it for PR to signal how virtuous they are to boost their image and resume.

“@Supernightshade — I often refer to that scripture in Romans to help explain what is happening in our society today.”
…there’s a few other ones I like to share whenever someone tells me that God is good with deviancy…
Leviticus 18:22. “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.
…and…
“9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.”
-1 Corinthians 6:9-11.
…and…
“8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
11 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.”
-1 Timothy 1:8-11.
…the LGBTQWERTY bible must be a VERY thin one, and I’m guessing they excluded the ENTIRE old testament, too. And I did NOT capitalize “bible” above, because whatever version THEY are reading, isn’t God’s word and doesn’t deserve it.
…also, since this very angry, very confused person seems to like Acts, perhaps ze would like a verse from Acts in which ze is described…
Acts 8:23 – For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and [in] the bond of iniquity.
…God knows these people, even back THEN, whether they know HIM or not, and warns US about them in His word very well, if only we have eyes to see and the Spirit to guide…
Social justice is not real justice, it is only justice for all the aggrieved liberal victim groups and not for people who disagree with them. God’s real justice is for all people regardless of who or what you are and is based on treating everyone equally under the law according to his grace and mercy. I prefer equal justice where I’m treated equally like everyone else and there is no favoritism or cronyism. And I know that there is a double standard which I hate since man shows favoritism to those who agree with them and disfavors those who disagree with them. Having said that I much rather would have God’s justice which is fair and just than man’s unequal justice. And why is it some of the so called most enlightened and educated individuals are our worst enemies? I believe that it’s about power and control because they really truly believe that they are gods and us plebes should bow down to their every whim and dictate without question. True freedom requires true and equal justice for all regardless of who you are or what your education is or socioeconomic status etc.
Without a new heart the Bible is a tool the lost use to poke you with and justify what they intend to do anyhow.
People who use the Bible to further their agenda better be careful. God does not take lightly those who use his name in vain. The third commandment is not just about cussing. Claiming to speak for God is misrepresenting the word and message of God to further an agenda that he does not support. He will not be mocked.
There was, is and always will be:
One YHWH (Echad), One Mediator (Way, Truth, Life), One Kingdom (Jerusalem), One Covenant People (Israel).
YHWH only ever truly juxtaposes between the world (unbelievers) and His called out assembly (Qahal/Ekklesia) (believers). His peculiar people/inheritance, Holy (set apart) people. Anyone who takes hold of the Covenants of YHWH is part of His Kingdom. There is one Torah (Instructions) for Israel and the sojourner/alien among them. YHWH’s warnings and prophicies of curses upon Israel for disobedience were always followed with the hope of restoration, which invariably included gentiles. The nations/gentiles were to be brought in or grafted into the assembly/body.
It is the same now as it was then, doctrines & traditions of men which add to or remove from the Word of YHWH. Yahshuah continually rebuked the Pharisees for abrogating the Word of YHWH with their doctrines & traditions (Talmud). History is cyclical (Eccl 1:9) and as such, we have the same type of “learned shepherds” who have followed right in line with the Pharisees/Sadducees of old. It takes a HIGHLY educated individual, with many abbreviated letters after their name to contort and twist the Word of YHWH and explain that IT does not mean what IT clearly states.
Man made Antinomianism, dual covenant, replacement, etc… theological thinking is part of what drives the wedge of separation between Israel and “churchianity”. The post Apostolic “early church fathers” were very antisemetic, some from hate and others out of fear of persecution, and so the lenses they used/use to interpret scripture was and is very biased. They have divided the House of YHWH by removing and/or obfuscating as many aspects of the truth of the Kingdom.
Words like church, pentacost, easter, old vs new (and more) are used to twist and obfuscate scripture, as to make YHWH a liar. Words which have clear definition within the Hebrew Scriptures (Tanak) have been redefined purposely to drive a wedge of separation between His called out assembly and those who were once far off, but brought near by the blood of Yahshuah. The Greek word Eklessia used in the Greek texts of the Apostolic writings is the same word used in translations of the Tanak for YHWH’s assembly. Stephen in Acts 7:38 clearly calls the House of Israel the “church” in the KJV, which is the same word used for assembly/congregation in the Tanak and parts of the Apostle’s writings. Pentecost is the 4th of YHWH’s Moedim (Appointed times Lev 23), Shavuot (Feast of weeks), which Yahshuah fulfilled at His first Advent. How we should tremble at ignoring His appointed times, especially with the three fall appointments still to be fulfilled at His second Advent. The word easter is superimposed over Pesach, transliterated in the Greek texts, forcing a meaning that did not exist and is straight from the heart of the great harlot of Rome. I have yet to nail down an absolute point of when it occured, but sometime between the middle 2nd Century AD and the end of the 3rd Century, the words Tanak/Hebrew Scriptures & Apostolic Scriptures got branded Old & New, as if the Word of YHWH ever waxes old or changes into something new. As YHWH is, so is His Word, everlasting to everlasting. The “New” is a reiteration and clarification of what has always been His way for ALL of mankind to live. Yahshuah did not come to give His own or new doctrine, but only that of He who sent Him.
YHWH does not change His perfect (One and Only) plan of redemption to fit His people. He removes the stoney heart and places a heart of flesh within His people (as prophisied in the RE[NEW]ED covenant Jer 31:31-34, ) and gives of His Spirit that we should want/strive to walk in His perfect ways. Before the true fulfillment of Passover, the sojourner/alien with Israel had to be circumcised in the flesh to partake of the Pesach/Passover. Now that Yahshuah has laid down His life and picked it up again, you MUST be circumcised in your Heart.
YHWH desires obedience through love, not some mechanical/forced lip service of following the letter of the Torah. To draw near YHWH with your lips, but having your heart far away is an abomination to Him (Hypocrisy). Just as earthly fathers set rules for their children, so does our Father in Heaven and His commandments are not grevious, but for our benefit. YHWH did NOT take Israel by the hand, lead them out of the bondage of slavery out of the land of Egypt, just to enslave them with a yoke they could not carry. He says the exact opposite, that these things are not too difficult (Duet 30:11). What He is showing us througout the Hebrew scriptures (Tanak) is that the heart of men is continually evil, self serving and incapable of the love of others (Grk Agape), as He defines it with the two greatest commandments (Deut 6:4-9 & Lev 19:18) on which ALL of the Torah & prophets hang.
Take time to read this: https://www.truthortradition.com/articles/four-kinds-of-love
The same covenant with the same people, but with better promises. It was never prophisied that there would be two sides of one coin, but the one side of a one sided coin. Only YHWH can create a one sided coin, made of ALL who seek Him.
Consider that the New Jerusalem has 12 gates to enter by and none of them are named for gentiles or “the church”. Read the major Prophets to see that there WILL be another Exodus (not rapture) and the Northern Kingdom (Ephraim) of Israel (not back in the land yet) and Southern Kingdom of Judea (Judah/Benjamin+Levi currently in the land) (all Jews are Hebrew, but not all Hebrews are Jews) will be brought back together (one stick in His hand). Much of the gentiles/nations are made up of Ephraim (northern 10 tribes).
There is a seed which I cast onto the ground, may it find good soil in which YHWH may reap.
May YHWH, the Father, and our Savior Yahshuah shine the light of their countenance on you and the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) guide your steps in all things.
To Him be the power, honor, praise, glory and blessings for ever and ever. Amen.
Peace be unto you / Shalom Aleichem
When some lefty tries to say the Bible tells us (insert command here), just ask for chapter and verse. Shuts a lot of them up.
