Stephanie, I’ve not watched the video yet but, I’ve noticed in your posts and replies lately that you are talking a lot of God, the bible, and related spiritual matters. Have you had a recent awakening in this regard or, is it just coincidental that you are more visible with your faith? Just curious.
My awakening of recent is the reality of our country being in a spiritual war because of the creeping in of marxism, leftist loons, and pride degeneracy. I believe our culture is in this state because as a society we’ve become biblically illiterate. This woke ideology being shoved down our throats is a religion and culturally we are getting to a point where people are being forced to pick sides. The woketards aren’t going to stop because they want to remake American (and the world) in their image.
I don’t want to live in an insane lawless world government ran by people who want to put a microchip in my brain and push genital mutilation on children. If I’m being force to pick a side I’m picking the side of the Christians. I believe we’re not going to recover our culture until people smarten up and recognize this is a religious war being played out. The best defense against the crazy left is to read the bible and understand how to stop their sick ideology.
woke vs christian is a false dichotomy, and as a religious war it is uninspiring. It’s too much the oppression olympics.
If you were aware of the early (especially) history of the church as I thought you were, you would know that they are the same thing, only separated in time. Genital mutilation, castration, suicide, hysterics, knocking down statues, a hatred of the past, of the strong — all was christian.
A religion focused on getting to heaven after you die can never resist the people who want to make life a hell before you die. christians will resign themselves to it. Those whose instincts tell them to FIGHT will be held back by their churches and priests.
Your eyes are open but you do not see. Seek the Lord while He may yet be found and He will open your eyes. You think you understand the religion, but you demonstrate you do not. Do not confuse things done in the name of God for the Word of God, because they can be opposite.
We have not become biblically illiterate, we have become spiritually illiterate. People do not understand simple spiritual principles like Karma, cause and effect. You arguing the other day that the bible does not mention Karma is a prime example of this. Personal responsibility is the basis of Spirituality. An understanding of Karma will make your life better than it has ever been before, and all real religions teach it.
They teach karma to let people feel happy with their lot in life. ‘You are worse off in every way than So-and-so, but you are spiritually superior, he will get his comeuppance later…’
Your another one who doesn’t get it. All spirituality is based on Karma. We WILL reap what we SOW. What does this really mean? Any misery in my life is self caused. This goes with self, family, nation, world etc… We can’t do much about the totalitarian control the world has chosen to take. But, on a personal, and family level we can do a lot. Prayer, meditation, and contemplation are the tools for spirituality. This is how we seek the the Kingdom of Heaven that is within us. Very simply, those who practice prayer with receive a few spiritual gifts. Those who practice meditation will receive a few more spiritual gifts. Those who practice contemplation of the spiritual works will have all the glories of heaven.
Again, all you Bible experts out there. Jesus gave the secret to bypass bad Karma. What is it?
If you don’t understand this, all your bible reading has been in vain.
You reap what you sow if you sow, or things you don’t sow, only as time and Nature and other people permit. It’s not karma. It’s life. jesus cursed a fig tree for not bearing fruit out of season, so I don’t think any of this is for me.
Karma, Kingdom of Heaven, spiritual gifts? Buzzwords if you’re not in the same cult.
Words are just words. But what is in your heart? I use the spiritual tools of Prayer, Meditation, and Contemplation everyday to increase my understanding of Gods creation. This is how to Seek ye first the kingdom of Heaven. So, who is your God? Big Government?
the totalitarian control is what we sowed and is what we are reaping.
The sovereigns out there (who also are Christians) are the only ones who have really figured this out and are now reaping the freedom they have sown.
Many so called Christians out there believe that in the US the government is Ceasar and We the People owe them unlawful tender or other things when by the very divine providence that made our Organic law, We the People ARE Ceasar and the government servants owe us the protection of our rights -we owe law violators fraudulently claiming to be government authority NOTHING!
Dr. Tim Mackie has a doctorate in Biblical studies, he studied ancient Hebrew and Greek, and worked on the Dead Sea Scrolls. He’s spent the past 10 years creating the Bible Project which are animated shorts explaining each book of the Bible and he lectures pastors on how to better teach the Bible in their sermons. Just because you don’t like his presentation doesn’t mean he’s not a credible source on Biblical studies.
Not interested in your opinion. I’ve watched many hours of Dr. Tim Mackie’s content and there’s nothing nefarious about his theology. He’s brilliant at teaching the bible in simple ways layman and non-Christians can easily understand it.
STFU you ignorant prick. Your opinion is annoying and unhelpful. I posted Dr. Tim Mackie’s videos because he’s a gifted teacher and has dedicated years promoting biblical literacy. I’m not a Christian and I’m not promoting religion. I’m promoting biblical literacy because of the state of the moral decay in our country. I’m specifically promoting educational sources to combat this leftist creep into our culture. If you disagree with my sources post your own shit on a separate post. You are the perfect example of why people hate Christians and stay away from church.
“I’m not a Christian” Ok , what are you then…athiest ?
People hate Christianity, because rules and standards declaring either the eternal damnation or salvation of their souls according to their rejection or adherence to the commands and worship of God.
People by nature are fallen e.g. narcissist hedonists, who desire perpetual pleasure over the pain of self-denial. Choice matters and very few have the will power to choose eternal life over the short term gain of immediate gratification. Women, because of their big vag of feels are more susceptible to the latter than men. Is this you?
Again, it’s people like you why I won’t convert to Christianity. I’m not interested in your hateful diatribes and smearing of other people. I’m not interested in your anti-Jew rants. You are the worst churchanity has to offer. GFY.
I don’t want anything to do with hateful and judgemental “Christians” like flash. I’ll NEVER proclaim to being Christian because of those types of people. I want nothing to do with them. I can read the bible on my own.
You claim to be at war with the Left, who’s ” creep” into mainstream culture you claim to abhor, using the Holy Scriptures as a weapon, in violation of the Second commandment, I might add, but you’re non-judgmental ? ha ha ha…you’re one confused feminist , but aren’t they all.
To be a follower of Christ is to be a Christian. One does not exclude the other. You need more work.
Is it Christianity or Denominations? If we put our faith in men we will always be eventually disappointed. The fallibility of men is why God gave the gift of the supreme sacrifice and a means of salvation for falliable man.
I don’t want anything to do with hateful and judgemental “Christians”
Also Stephanie
STFU you ignorant prick
Also, also Stephanie
If I’m being force to pick a side I’m picking the side of the Christians. I believe we’re not going to recover our culture until people smarten up and recognize this is a religious war being played out.
Also, also also Stephanie
I’m not a Christian and I’m not promoting religion.
Stephanie, I would not use other ‘Christians’ as a barometer for issues of Faith and whether or not we are walking the walk or talking the walk. (We should be, for sure). Being a “REAL” Christian is having a one-on-one relationship with the God of the universe through the belief in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son.
When it came to this whole subject, I was a slow learner and it has been a long, slow slog for me since I was saved 30+ years ago. I mouthed the words that I believed in Jesus and who He was but, it was a long time, and some trials in tribulations in my own life, before I actually ‘got’ the relationship part of it.
I still mess up a lot but, as one of my favorite online bible teacher says (Steve Brown) “I’m better than I used to be” and, “I’m just one beggar telling another beggar where I found bread”.
In summary, don’t look at other messed up Christians (we are all messed up. As Christians, we just know it!) to draw your conclusions; look at the author of it all — Jesus, the Christ.
As I get older, and much of my life is now in the rear view window, I see God’s hand in everything. Even in the 3 hatched Peachicks that I moved from the incubator to the brooder last night (at 11:30, 1:30 & 5:30 am — yes, I did not get much sleep last night).
I’m never converting to Christianity. I want nothing to do with the types of people who called themselves Christians. If you need a further example of why just read flash’s comments.
15 And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.
16 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?
17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
So, as I stated previously, don’t base your perception of Christianity on others, base it on your own relationship with Christ, should you choose at some point (I sure hope you do) to accept Christ into your heart.
We are a messed up people, Christians and non-Christians alike. Why else did God send His Son into the world? He sent Him here to save it.
Anyway, I’ll let this go now. Have a good day today.
There are a number of commenters on this site who are extremely anti-Semitic; they hate Jews because Jesus was born to a Jewish mother, lived his life as a Jew (a rabbi), and died as a Jew: but, don’t forget, they hate all Jews. Today, Jesus would just be another zealous, non-traditional rabbi of a Reform Jewish synagogue.
They know (they have read it in the Bible) it was the Romans (Italians) who nailed Jesus to the cross, but it would be wrong to hate Italians, so they hate the Jews (the Pharisees) instead: the Italians would just stick a knife in them if they publicized their hatred for all Italians.
These people hate everyone who believes strongly in God without recognizing His Son; it makes no difference how people profess their belief in G-d; we all worship the same One in different ways, in different languages.
Please ignore the morons, these idiots who are unable to process what they read in the Bible (assuming they have the ability to do so) and keep commenting.
You’re a bright light in a dark room; a broom to clear the cobwebs, a mop to scrub the filth off the floor. Please continue to comment: Jesus, too, had great hopes as He preached to the ignorant.
Who are Semites? Is it wrong to criticize Arabs and Palestinians who are descendants of people from ancient Southwest Asia. What about people who claim their ancient ancestors were from there but were not?
Everyone worships Yahweh (even the atheists in their final moment) by different names; it doesn’t matter what you call Him, or in what language,or when, for that matter, He still recognizes your acknowledgement of Him.
You hate jews because they are parasitic corrupters; you mean people like Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Barack Obama, Joe Biden – you want me to go on?
It’s never been about converting to some special sect. It’s about living the life, and using the spiritual tools of Prayer, Meditation, and Contemplation. This is how we open our hearts to Gods love and the Holy Spirit.
Sadly there are fewer teachings on discipleship and fellowship with God than there are on the Gospel and the Law. I commend you for sticking with it. I am learning fast and hard and stumbling all over the place as scripture says a new learner will.
Stephanie…hard-coded in all of us are tools needed to return to the Father. There is no need for an organized approach to this; it’s a come-as-you-are event. The only requirement to gain access to the to0ls is to begin the search. When you do this, God will then awaken you – like eating from the Tree of Knowledge – and things will become clear. Ignore the bridge trolls, they are the devil’s distraction. They, I’m afraid, will always be. From 80,000 feet, you are on the right path. 🙂
It would be good for us to remember that the darkness engulfing our world, seemingly leading towards the “Great Reset” and a One World Order, is coming from the Dark Forces of the Evil One. The enemy of human kind is the same as it has been since the fall of Adam and Eve. Whatever the devil can do to pull us away from God is his central goal. He could care less if we worship him, for Satan’s goal is to get us to turn away from God. Satan desires humanity turn towards self-worship, which is ultimately demon worship.
We must remember our battle is not with earthly enemies, but with the principalities and powers of darkness. This is important to remember because the weapons needed to combat the enemy are not found in armies, guns, tanks and missiles, but in prayer. Our combat against the enemy must be centered in the church services, prayer, fasting, spiritual preparedness and repentance.
The enemy are not armies but demons who would demoralize us and strike fear in our hearts. In Christ Jesus we have all the strength to overcome the powers of darkness that are set upon our destruction. There is no need to panic when we have Jesus Christ by our side. The end days will come when God decides. As for us, we must always be prepared for the end, just as were the disciples. Fear is brought on by the enemy of humankind, the devil himself. In Christ there is no fear.
Stephanie, you are on the right track with the bible as a your guide. The bible is a book of THE law and by following THE law you (we) will prevail. Yes, there are some crappy people claiming to be Christians and pervert the bible into something it’s not but your journey to understanding the lesson of the law is for you alone – do not let crappy, confused people deter your journey or deter you from sharing what you feel is the proper strategy to prevail over the lawless amongst us.
One thing I would point out that most people miss interpret about God is that God is both grace and wrath, much like the yin and yang. God can be good for everybody every time but ultimately God is not good for every body every time and some those insane globalists who are f-ing ARE going to find out.
“Tim Mackie of The Bible Project Promotes Aberrant Teaching on Homosexuality: ‘In Jesus, There’s no Gay or Straight’
Earlier in the clip, Mackie says Jesus acknowledges (Matthew 19:12) that some people are ‘eunuchs by birth’ but then twists this passage to make it as though Jesus is saying that some people are homosexuals by birth.
Later he engages in a bit of bible twisting to monkey about with Galatians 3:28, rewording it to add, “there is no male or female, no slave or free, no Jew or non-Jew, no gay or straight…”
Why did you even post this in the first place?
You know your going to get nothing BUT the opinions of others.
It’s like Harry and Meghan’s World Privacy Tour.
By the way I feel the same as you do. There is a HUGE difference between being religious and being spiritual. I am of the latter.
That is an unacceptable position for Christians, flash. Thanks for the heads up. I enjoyed the Bible summary shorts, but that’s not where I would go for actual Bible study. Penitent faith and sexual immorality are not compatible.
I watched some of those a couple weeks ago. They are quite good.

One hundred years ago Rudolf Steiner wrote “We will eliminate the soul with medicine”. About that same time 20 million people around the world died from the Spanish flu and the vast majority that died had been injected with the vaccine.
Steiner stated that vaccines would medically render the soul and any spiritual connection to the universe impossible. Humanity would become completely materialistic and unable to connect to God and morality and conscience would be lost. The satanist joos considered being immune from the “madness” of morality and “living the gospel” would free humanity.
From birth to kindergarten children are now given in excess of 30 vaccines and the amount of sociopaths loose in society is now around 30%. I believe they have found a way to achieve their goal, stopping the vaccine genocide of the soul is crucial lest we become monsters.
Soon, living the gospel will not be possible and I believe God will have to destroy the abomination crafted by the satanists.
How can the soul — a spiritual entity, like God is — be eliminated by a physical artifice or device?
Think about it …
A quotation I heard by a very holy man in 1994: “We are not human beings on a human journey — we are spiritual beings on a human journey.”
We are, at our core, of the same essence as God … we are spiritual … and that spiritual component is indestructible.
There have been many more Sons of God than Jesus Christ … and there are far greater sources of the truth than the Bible … especially the Old Testament, which enshrines the hatred and arrogance of a people that defied God at every turn — and then told the rest of US that they are the ‘chosen’ people.
Anthony- Do a deep dive into this subject and you can get a better understanding. There is a undisputed rise in sociopaths in society that begins in the childhood so it’s not something learned.
Did you ever think they would inject 80% of the world’s population with nanobots?
I encourage everyone to read the bible. But it is only the start of our spiritual journey. “The Flute of God,” takes one far past the borders of Christianity. It teaches one how to connect with the holy spirit and experience spiritual liberation in this lifetime.
Steiner has a very low opinion of God’s power, but vaccines are bad.

I didn’t last 30 seconds listening to him. That’s all it took for me to understand he wasn’t worth wasting my time on. Steph it you want to learn the real Bible listen to John McArthur at his YouTube channel Grace to You.
Good recommendation. John McArthur is one of the most cogent minds when it comes to living for Christ in this day and age. I draw on John’s Biblical insight continually.

HEY ADMIN:
You ever going to do anything about flash spamming TF out of every comment section and ruining discussions? If not, I can’t post on TBP anymore. I can deal with dissent and disagreement but this is fucked up. I’m tired of the spammers getting free reign. It’s just an insidious form of censorship that allows a minority on this site to shut down sources and discussions they don’t like in the comment section.
So tell me, why does a person who says they hate Christians , presumably an atheist , post Christian content on TBP ? What is the motive…attention, convergence, or both?
I think she’s transitioning. She’ll probably deny it or maybe doesn’t even see it herself. But I believe that’s what’s happening. Seen it several times in others. And they get really angry about it.
She even made the comment once that the Word is inspiring her creativity. It’s called being filled with the Holy Spirit.
I caught what you mentioned in the last paragraph. This is what spirituality is all about. Steph and others ae just getting caught in their poor mental arguments. The Holy Spirit is real, and will guide you to a far greater life than you ever had before if you will let it.
Yes, witnessing a transformation is an amazing thing. Like a baby being born. The Holy Spirit speaks to us all in different ways and we each have our own unique journey. Steph is hungry & is searching. That’s how it begins.
I believe the times such as this that we’re in will do that to people. We’re in a spiritual battle. We have two choices. You can either go the way of Satan or you can look toward the light. Steph is looking toward the light. Good for her.
Her first step needs to be to get to the root of her anger/rage and heal from it. The walls will come down and she would hopefully be open to the one, true God.
Hey flash, Stephanie has a point, you are the antithesis of a “christian”.
Would Jesus talk to Stephanie the way you do? The way you talk to everybody who slightly disagrees with you? What about love and tolerance? What about a thoughtful presentation of your alternate view points, instead of pre-adolescent sarcasm and personal attacks? You know…an adult discussion.
Are you capable of that? I don’t think so. You camoflauge your low IQ and complete absence of the ability to debate intelligently, with your addiction to copy/paste.
I can tell that your idea of a Christian is exclusively one of these pompous, holier than thou, virtue signaling finger waggers.
If Flash wants to engage in hyperbole when speaking of the Jews, that is his prerogative. At the heart of his argument is a seed of truth that none of you can destroy. You’d have done so LONG before now, were it possible!
Christianity is monolithic. Christians are not. We’re as unique as snowflakes, but we all have that one thing in common. We made the right choice when it mattered most.
So, Flash, if you read this I’m sorry if I embarrassed you by coming to your defense.
There’s a lot I could say, but right now, that’s all I wanted to convey.
Judaism was the first monolithic “religion” and predates Christianity by 1,500 years.
Interesting that is never mentioned in the bible. Did Jews a have copyright on it?
I’M not a perfect Christian and my flaws are many, but fake is among them.
While I respect all denominations, I have zero respect for those leaders who attempt to mislead their flock with false teachings of scripture , which unlike simply misunderstanding what is written, they try to make it fit with their modern world view of sin ain’t so bad, it’s just the intolerance for sin that God hates.
That said, if you weren’t a drooling dumbass, you would have noticed that this post by SS was a copy and paste…with zero effort, by one who claims to not even believe in Christ…smh…go back to coloring you rainbow flags, junior.
You are the judge of what are false scriptures? Does that not put you in somewhat of a god-like position? I think your god would have a problem with that. Like I said before, your attempts at humor and sarcasm denote a child like brain that never fully developed or was traumatized in some way or both. Pray to your god for help with that.
Yes, I am the person who determines what I believe , just as you are the judge of what you believe, regardless how wrong you always are. Sorry ‘tard, I can’t help you there.
Here’s an example of me judging truth in scripture, analtard. One may be simply wrong on preaching the rapture of the church before the second coming, but any preacher that’s teaching that homosexuality is not a sin against God or that hell is not a consequence of that sin is a teaching a lie and anyone that has ever seriously read scripture will see this as an absolute, unmistakeable lie.
Steph…good for you for taking on the Bible & wanting to discuss. Really.
I don’t engage in these discussions because they usually never end well because everyone has their own interpretation of truth & everyone feels they’re right and will not budge.
Having said that, if you’re on Twitter you should follow Red River D. He used to comment here. He’s a biblical scholar, highly intelligent, and well-spoken. He’s great to learn from & very difficult to argue against, IMO. He makes really good points. I think you might like having discussions with him. Just beware, tho, he doesn’t put up with any bullshit.
I’d definitely welcome his insights. There’s been others on TBP who’ve made good comments too. However, I think I’m at the end of the line with posting on TBP. Admin was the first person to ever publish my writing and I’m forever grateful to him for it. But, I can’t deal with the spam any longer. It’s just another form of censorship. It shuts down any worthwhile conversations and it’s being done by a tiny minority on TBP. I don’t see any point in posting anything if half the comment section is going to be filled with one or two people spamming dumb memes and sources that contribute nothing to the original topic.
Nope! It’s me agreeing with everybody. I have nothing in common with people on TBP anymore and I should move on. Obviously based on the comments on this video (which isn’t controversial at all) I don’t need to post anymore.
I fully agree: this site has become filled with commenters who have their own ideas about what Christianity means to them and any one who deviates, even slightly, is treated as an apostate who must be shredded on-sight (on-site☻).
The are many other sites (chat rooms?) that would highly value your comments: (TruthSocial?).

You self important cunt. Try fucking off for a few month and see if anybody gives a shit.
You won’t because you know nobody will care. Your insanely inflated ego could not survive that so no fucking way is your subconscious going to allow it. Nobody is trying to “shut down sources and discussions they don’t like in the comment section.” except you by trying to have your detractors banned.
Here is the thing SS, you have control. Fuck off and you won’t have to deal with all us meanies who won’t stroke your childish ego.
GO FLASH! Fuck you and your whiny “poor me” shtick SS.
In the battle between the left/progressive and the right/conservative; setting aside religious dogma, the dividing line is “mores”, ie societal customs and habits.
Mores were developed over many years as a guide to the future success of society.
The word “To – mor- row” expresses the value of mores – tried and true habits and customs that carry society into the future and continue to carry society.
When the past lessons of informed behavior (mores) are forgotten or intentionally corrupted you arrive in today’s world.
Homogenous cultures for the win.

The major difference between the Right and Left is that while the Right is offended by the lie, the Left is driven violently insane by truth…it’s really the only way to tell.
The irony is there’s nothing discussion or debate worthy in the video I posted. It was really just a feel good lecture that I posted to go along with the Sunday Morning Classics post because Sundays are usually a slow day on TBP. There really was no need for flash’s assholery or for this comment section to go to shit so quickly. There was nothing in the video to debate.
If anybody would actually watch the video they’d see there’s literally no reason this post should’ve gotten more than maybe 5 comments. There’s nothing controversial in the video. This comment section is just a bunch knee jerk reactions because I post something.

That is because you have been an insufferable and hypocritical cunt as long as I have seen you post here. You are the cause of the vitriol sent your way. That you clearly can’t see or accept that, is your true handicap.
You appear an unpleasant and fragile narcissist, and a DK low with a very high opinion of their sanctimony. I pity you as it is clear you are incapable of metacognition and so will be one until you die.
Then I won’t be missed and there’s no reason for me to post anymore. I’ve only stayed on TBP this long because Admin has always been generous in posting my content.

You know I have had a feeling that 3 people who post here were really one person. They have a little clique sometimes too, with their own sort mysterious knowing each other. Now maybe it’s 4 people?
The Stephanie picture always screamed fake to me (images really have an effect on belief). Also the over the top offendedness.
Could be wrong but it is the internet.
Access denied. I guess “Truth Social” doesn’t like VPNs. You are the first person I have encountered who uses it, besides Trump. I have always enjoyed your content, even if I don’t agree with it.
Right. You never know who you are talking to on the internet. Can’t trust anyone – has been my experience. Live & learn.
There are some here who use multiple handles & use ‘anonymous’ when replying to certain people. Why do they do that? Is it because they are cowards? I think so. But surprise, surprise – it’s the way of the world these days. Cowards galore.
And, yes, you are also right about the cliques. Something else I will not take any part in. We’ll let the ‘really good friends’ have their little party, and their little inside jokes, and their little love fests. Hopefully, more intelligent people can find their way to this site soon, or my interest is running super low.
I like to know who I’m talking to. I like to know something about that person based on their previous comments before I engage in a discussion/argument with them. It’s relationship building 101. Not that hard to understand.
Nah, most of you remember previous comments to smear the other person. If I commented anonymously none of you have anything the nit pick. My comments would utterly bland if I didn’t log in.
Steph…I get smeared sometimes, too. Big fucking deal. Deal with it and stop crying about it. I will eventually just ignore those who continue to harass me. Why don’t you do the same?
The reason you get the feedback you do is cuz you make yourself such an easy target.
If you have a good argument and can articulate it well, then you don’t need to worry about anyone being prejudice. We’re supposed to be thinkers here, right???

If you have a good argument, it doesn’t matter what you post under. However if I go by a certain name, I know I’m more likely to stick to more combative stances. How many times would people not bother to tell someone to f off, if their ego wasn’t involved?
And for some of us, it’s a habit picked up from better times.

Are you a coward?
We are all anonymous here you fucking idiot.
How’s that for an argument?
Stop being a complete dumbass. When you can track someone’s comments you begin to understand how they think & their belief system making it easier to have a discussion with them.

You are currently cheating yourself out of the respect I feel for everyone here who uses their handle consistently and bravely. That’s on you.
I find the idea that one can not be both friendly AND independent minded insulting. But yeah. I get it. It can be off-putting to the newbies. Those who find value here (as I do) stick around long enough to get over it (like I did).
Hey. I’ll try to be friendly to just about everyone, but when it doesn’t pan out I don’t lose my shit over it. It’s just part of life.
Also, FYI, I’m sure Mensa is accepting applications if you’ve outgrown the people who lured you here to begin with.

It’s shit like this why TBP is losing readers. Turning into a Churchianity echo chamber. Fleabags would have agreed.
Seems like a waste of time to post anything when the site is infected with an Evangelical virus. No discourse anymore, just arguments.
Exactly ICE-9.
The over the top bible thumping here is deafening sometimes. But what really turns my stomach is the straight up HATRED and prejudices of the so called “christians” against those who don’t believe something that was written 2,000+ years ago in an extinct language that has been re translated, who knows how many times, by whomever won the latest war. This is what Stephanie is talking about. If you don’t believe what I believe you go to hell, doesn’t matter if you’re a good, righteous person, nope, go straight to hell, fuck you, burn in hell. It’s like a gutter drunk going on rants about how great it is to be sober.
Organized religion = Intellectual suicide
Remarkable how ‘Personal’ they are. Had to do a little research.
“He Whispers You Name” By Cherie Hill. Looked at a few sites, the reviews were fairly uniformly the same observation.
“Like it was written to Me personally!”
Sent a copy to my sister. As time went on, eventually got another copy for home, Read it 1st thing in the morning, (along with my habitual others) sometimes before bed as well.
Supposed to be for women based on the link wording, must be a marketing ploy? Normally, That wording alone would set off alarm bells, but i had read enough by the time i ordered the first one to know definitely not gender (or denomination) specific.
But 1 (one) “unpardonable Sin”.
May want to check it out Yourself.
Able to appreciate the selfless Gentleman’s daily effort even more, sometimes convo follows.
It’s is funny because I have as yet to see anybody say that anybody was going to hell here. I have though seen Stephanie be very derogatory (to me included) if people didn’t agree with the gospel according to Stephanie. Despite the fact that she claims to not be a Christian and as such it would seem a relative neophyte on the topic, she attempts poorly to discredit anything, some who have been digesting it for almost a lifetime, when it contradicts her skin deep countenance.
.
re: ‘prejudices of the so called “christians” against those who don’t believe something that was written 2,000+ years ago in an extinct language that has been re translated, who knows how many times, by whomever won the latest war’
Congrats! That is possibly the most retarded thing I’ve ever read, somewhere around a thread by a bunch of niggers who thought white people were descended from wolves.
It’s actually worth a read, for sheer entertainment value.
I could easily shoot holes in that article, but what’s the point? I’d have to post it somewhere that got views, or it would be like stepping on individual ants at an anthill.
By all means, continue posting that link, people with half a brain will see through it and the ridiculous standard of his argument. People who still believe men have one less rib than women might fall for it though.

Hey Stephanie. I hope you keep on posting. Your intent was honorable. I can tell, you ‘try’. Don’t let naysayers overwhelm you. The nice thing about this forum is that all voices can be heard. Its a fallen world. So … persevere. And never take your eyes off Jesus Christ. Who He is. What He has done for you and me. Because that is the GOSPEL (I Corinthians 15:3-5. Because that is CHRISTIANITY.
so first time caller long time listener…… here goes:
This thread makes Christianity look bad and people who oppose it look like rabid dogs ready to attack. I am a believer but I can’t believe this thread……..madness I tell you…….madness abounds.
O and so does shisty conspiracy to lure unsuspecting believers into pedantic bickering about “religion”
Stephanie, I’ve not watched the video yet but, I’ve noticed in your posts and replies lately that you are talking a lot of God, the bible, and related spiritual matters. Have you had a recent awakening in this regard or, is it just coincidental that you are more visible with your faith? Just curious.
My awakening of recent is the reality of our country being in a spiritual war because of the creeping in of marxism, leftist loons, and pride degeneracy. I believe our culture is in this state because as a society we’ve become biblically illiterate. This woke ideology being shoved down our throats is a religion and culturally we are getting to a point where people are being forced to pick sides. The woketards aren’t going to stop because they want to remake American (and the world) in their image.
I don’t want to live in an insane lawless world government ran by people who want to put a microchip in my brain and push genital mutilation on children. If I’m being force to pick a side I’m picking the side of the Christians. I believe we’re not going to recover our culture until people smarten up and recognize this is a religious war being played out. The best defense against the crazy left is to read the bible and understand how to stop their sick ideology.
10-4. Thanks for responding.
woke vs christian is a false dichotomy, and as a religious war it is uninspiring. It’s too much the oppression olympics.
If you were aware of the early (especially) history of the church as I thought you were, you would know that they are the same thing, only separated in time. Genital mutilation, castration, suicide, hysterics, knocking down statues, a hatred of the past, of the strong — all was christian.
A religion focused on getting to heaven after you die can never resist the people who want to make life a hell before you die. christians will resign themselves to it. Those whose instincts tell them to FIGHT will be held back by their churches and priests.
Your eyes are open but you do not see. Seek the Lord while He may yet be found and He will open your eyes. You think you understand the religion, but you demonstrate you do not. Do not confuse things done in the name of God for the Word of God, because they can be opposite.
English, do you speak it? Show where I am wrong, instead of using insider jargon.
I know I don’t see everything, but you have to do the three monkeys act to blind yourself to the glaringly obvious foundation of your religion.
We have not become biblically illiterate, we have become spiritually illiterate. People do not understand simple spiritual principles like Karma, cause and effect. You arguing the other day that the bible does not mention Karma is a prime example of this. Personal responsibility is the basis of Spirituality. An understanding of Karma will make your life better than it has ever been before, and all real religions teach it.
They teach karma to let people feel happy with their lot in life. ‘You are worse off in every way than So-and-so, but you are spiritually superior, he will get his comeuppance later…’
Your another one who doesn’t get it. All spirituality is based on Karma. We WILL reap what we SOW. What does this really mean? Any misery in my life is self caused. This goes with self, family, nation, world etc… We can’t do much about the totalitarian control the world has chosen to take. But, on a personal, and family level we can do a lot. Prayer, meditation, and contemplation are the tools for spirituality. This is how we seek the the Kingdom of Heaven that is within us. Very simply, those who practice prayer with receive a few spiritual gifts. Those who practice meditation will receive a few more spiritual gifts. Those who practice contemplation of the spiritual works will have all the glories of heaven.
Again, all you Bible experts out there. Jesus gave the secret to bypass bad Karma. What is it?
If you don’t understand this, all your bible reading has been in vain.
You reap what you sow if you sow, or things you don’t sow, only as time and Nature and other people permit. It’s not karma. It’s life. jesus cursed a fig tree for not bearing fruit out of season, so I don’t think any of this is for me.
Karma, Kingdom of Heaven, spiritual gifts? Buzzwords if you’re not in the same cult.
Words are just words. But what is in your heart? I use the spiritual tools of Prayer, Meditation, and Contemplation everyday to increase my understanding of Gods creation. This is how to Seek ye first the kingdom of Heaven. So, who is your God? Big Government?
the totalitarian control is what we sowed and is what we are reaping.
The sovereigns out there (who also are Christians) are the only ones who have really figured this out and are now reaping the freedom they have sown.
Many so called Christians out there believe that in the US the government is Ceasar and We the People owe them unlawful tender or other things when by the very divine providence that made our Organic law, We the People ARE Ceasar and the government servants owe us the protection of our rights -we owe law violators fraudulently claiming to be government authority NOTHING!
That ain’t how karma works.
How does it work? In the real world.
“As ye sow, so also shall ye reap” is the very definition of karma! Right there in the Holy Bible.
When people don’t understand simple things like Karma is the same as reaping and sowing, all the reading in the world will never do them any good.
People are funny. Now we’re funny too. ~ George Thoroughgood
Replied to wrong person. I do kinda wonder if people who use that metaphor have ever actually grown things irl.
I find it amazing that faith itself comes from God: Ask and it shall be given.
You have to ask the object of your beliefs if you can believe in it/them/Him?
It’s all about the clicks with her. As soon as I saw who posted it, I skipped it.
Thank you for commenting that you couldn’t be troubled. Or something.
Hipster soy boys are untrustworthy which makes them unlistenable.
Where do you land ?
Dr. Tim Mackie has a doctorate in Biblical studies, he studied ancient Hebrew and Greek, and worked on the Dead Sea Scrolls. He’s spent the past 10 years creating the Bible Project which are animated shorts explaining each book of the Bible and he lectures pastors on how to better teach the Bible in their sermons. Just because you don’t like his presentation doesn’t mean he’s not a credible source on Biblical studies.
https://www.youtube.com/@bibleproject
Regardless the ticket , I find lispy hipster soy boys entirely untrustworthy.
Not interested in your opinion. I’ve watched many hours of Dr. Tim Mackie’s content and there’s nothing nefarious about his theology. He’s brilliant at teaching the bible in simple ways layman and non-Christians can easily understand it.
lol…get some real bible study here, without the lisp and sugar coating …and not just my opinion , but 2000 years of Orthodoxy.

STFU you ignorant prick. Your opinion is annoying and unhelpful. I posted Dr. Tim Mackie’s videos because he’s a gifted teacher and has dedicated years promoting biblical literacy. I’m not a Christian and I’m not promoting religion. I’m promoting biblical literacy because of the state of the moral decay in our country. I’m specifically promoting educational sources to combat this leftist creep into our culture. If you disagree with my sources post your own shit on a separate post. You are the perfect example of why people hate Christians and stay away from church.
“I’m not a Christian” Ok , what are you then…athiest ?
People hate Christianity, because rules and standards declaring either the eternal damnation or salvation of their souls according to their rejection or adherence to the commands and worship of God.
People by nature are fallen e.g. narcissist hedonists, who desire perpetual pleasure over the pain of self-denial. Choice matters and very few have the will power to choose eternal life over the short term gain of immediate gratification. Women, because of their big vag of feels are more susceptible to the latter than men. Is this you?
Again, it’s people like you why I won’t convert to Christianity. I’m not interested in your hateful diatribes and smearing of other people. I’m not interested in your anti-Jew rants. You are the worst churchanity has to offer. GFY.
So your saying talk the talk but don’t walk the walk.
Got it –
I don’t want anything to do with hateful and judgemental “Christians” like flash. I’ll NEVER proclaim to being Christian because of those types of people. I want nothing to do with them. I can read the bible on my own.
You claim to be at war with the Left, who’s ” creep” into mainstream culture you claim to abhor, using the Holy Scriptures as a weapon, in violation of the Second commandment, I might add, but you’re non-judgmental ? ha ha ha…you’re one confused feminist , but aren’t they all.
To be a follower of Christ is to be a Christian. One does not exclude the other. You need more work.
Is it Christianity or Denominations? If we put our faith in men we will always be eventually disappointed. The fallibility of men is why God gave the gift of the supreme sacrifice and a means of salvation for falliable man.

Riveting insight. You must be new. Eye roll.
Stephanie, I would not use other ‘Christians’ as a barometer for issues of Faith and whether or not we are walking the walk or talking the walk. (We should be, for sure). Being a “REAL” Christian is having a one-on-one relationship with the God of the universe through the belief in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son.
When it came to this whole subject, I was a slow learner and it has been a long, slow slog for me since I was saved 30+ years ago. I mouthed the words that I believed in Jesus and who He was but, it was a long time, and some trials in tribulations in my own life, before I actually ‘got’ the relationship part of it.
I still mess up a lot but, as one of my favorite online bible teacher says (Steve Brown) “I’m better than I used to be” and, “I’m just one beggar telling another beggar where I found bread”.
In summary, don’t look at other messed up Christians (we are all messed up. As Christians, we just know it!) to draw your conclusions; look at the author of it all — Jesus, the Christ.
As I get older, and much of my life is now in the rear view window, I see God’s hand in everything. Even in the 3 hatched Peachicks that I moved from the incubator to the brooder last night (at 11:30, 1:30 & 5:30 am — yes, I did not get much sleep last night).
I’m never converting to Christianity. I want nothing to do with the types of people who called themselves Christians. If you need a further example of why just read flash’s comments.
So, as I stated previously, don’t base your perception of Christianity on others, base it on your own relationship with Christ, should you choose at some point (I sure hope you do) to accept Christ into your heart.
We are a messed up people, Christians and non-Christians alike. Why else did God send His Son into the world? He sent Him here to save it.
Anyway, I’ll let this go now. Have a good day today.
I quite like this Christ fellow. It is his followers I have issues with.
Clarification and update
Christ came to save individuals, not the world.
What would you convert to Christianity from ?
Festivus! Ain’t it obvious?
why does this matter?
Have fun in Hell! Tell Satan I said “go fuck yourself for eternity”.
You’re gonna fit right in! You’ll be SOFA KING happy to finally be with your own kind!
There are a number of commenters on this site who are extremely anti-Semitic; they hate Jews because Jesus was born to a Jewish mother, lived his life as a Jew (a rabbi), and died as a Jew: but, don’t forget, they hate all Jews. Today, Jesus would just be another zealous, non-traditional rabbi of a Reform Jewish synagogue.
They know (they have read it in the Bible) it was the Romans (Italians) who nailed Jesus to the cross, but it would be wrong to hate Italians, so they hate the Jews (the Pharisees) instead: the Italians would just stick a knife in them if they publicized their hatred for all Italians.
These people hate everyone who believes strongly in God without recognizing His Son; it makes no difference how people profess their belief in G-d; we all worship the same One in different ways, in different languages.
Please ignore the morons, these idiots who are unable to process what they read in the Bible (assuming they have the ability to do so) and keep commenting.
You’re a bright light in a dark room; a broom to clear the cobwebs, a mop to scrub the filth off the floor. Please continue to comment: Jesus, too, had great hopes as He preached to the ignorant.
Who are Semites? Is it wrong to criticize Arabs and Palestinians who are descendants of people from ancient Southwest Asia. What about people who claim their ancient ancestors were from there but were not?
And some of us hate jews because they are parasitic corrupters down to their DNA. Not everyone worships yahweh
Everyone worships Yahweh (even the atheists in their final moment) by different names; it doesn’t matter what you call Him, or in what language,or when, for that matter, He still recognizes your acknowledgement of Him.
You hate jews because they are parasitic corrupters; you mean people like Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Barack Obama, Joe Biden – you want me to go on?
“Everyone worships Yahweh”
You are deranged.
Didn’t say jews were alone in the world. You can name bad people of all races. Good luck finding names of good jews though.
I truly hope you’ve had no problem “finding” Jesus and the Apostles to be “good Jews.”
No, I don’t think they existed as such. But even so, no, a renegade jew is hardly my concern.
It’s never been about converting to some special sect. It’s about living the life, and using the spiritual tools of Prayer, Meditation, and Contemplation. This is how we open our hearts to Gods love and the Holy Spirit.
Living the life? Why not live your own life?
Sadly there are fewer teachings on discipleship and fellowship with God than there are on the Gospel and the Law. I commend you for sticking with it. I am learning fast and hard and stumbling all over the place as scripture says a new learner will.
So the word of God is just a weapon you use to combat the Left ? Sound just like something a Leftist would do… smh.
You really need to search the meaning of the 2nd Commandment. Violation is one of the few mortal sins.
“Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain”
I hate Christians but I hate the left more. Thank you flash for reconfirming why I never want to be a Christian. Good job!
You win! This will be my last pro-bible post. Thanks for ruining it for me. It only took a week.
I’m not responsible for your soul , darling. If you reject the call of Christ , that’s on you.
“… many are called, but few are chosen.”
You win the internetz today!
2 and half billion is a few?
In a fake world, you have fake Christians.
Is it really that hard for you?
So strong and independent….reeee
pro-bible …lol… have you noticed God anywhere in there ?
Well THANK GOD for THAT!
Stephanie…hard-coded in all of us are tools needed to return to the Father. There is no need for an organized approach to this; it’s a come-as-you-are event. The only requirement to gain access to the to0ls is to begin the search. When you do this, God will then awaken you – like eating from the Tree of Knowledge – and things will become clear. Ignore the bridge trolls, they are the devil’s distraction. They, I’m afraid, will always be. From 80,000 feet, you are on the right path. 🙂
@eraser
Thank you.
It would be good for us to remember that the darkness engulfing our world, seemingly leading towards the “Great Reset” and a One World Order, is coming from the Dark Forces of the Evil One. The enemy of human kind is the same as it has been since the fall of Adam and Eve. Whatever the devil can do to pull us away from God is his central goal. He could care less if we worship him, for Satan’s goal is to get us to turn away from God. Satan desires humanity turn towards self-worship, which is ultimately demon worship.
We must remember our battle is not with earthly enemies, but with the principalities and powers of darkness. This is important to remember because the weapons needed to combat the enemy are not found in armies, guns, tanks and missiles, but in prayer. Our combat against the enemy must be centered in the church services, prayer, fasting, spiritual preparedness and repentance.
The enemy are not armies but demons who would demoralize us and strike fear in our hearts. In Christ Jesus we have all the strength to overcome the powers of darkness that are set upon our destruction. There is no need to panic when we have Jesus Christ by our side. The end days will come when God decides. As for us, we must always be prepared for the end, just as were the disciples. Fear is brought on by the enemy of humankind, the devil himself. In Christ there is no fear.
With love in Christ,
Abbot Tryphon
Well said, eraser.
Promise?
Don’t quit Stephanie. There are some of us who enjoy your commentary.
Stephanie, you are on the right track with the bible as a your guide. The bible is a book of THE law and by following THE law you (we) will prevail. Yes, there are some crappy people claiming to be Christians and pervert the bible into something it’s not but your journey to understanding the lesson of the law is for you alone – do not let crappy, confused people deter your journey or deter you from sharing what you feel is the proper strategy to prevail over the lawless amongst us.
One thing I would point out that most people miss interpret about God is that God is both grace and wrath, much like the yin and yang. God can be good for everybody every time but ultimately God is not good for every body every time and some those insane globalists who are f-ing ARE going to find out.
As long as your attitude is that you’re better than your neighbor, Christianity has no use for YOU.
Read the first epistle of John and find a credible source for explanation. It explains what true Christians are like and rebukes the false.
Truth is all you should ever seek
Does he say once dead your opportunity to be saved ends, but then says we should pray for the dead? confusing…
Does it take effort to appear such a cunt or is it something that comes naturally to you?
Why do we bother?
“Tim Mackie of The Bible Project Promotes Aberrant Teaching on Homosexuality: ‘In Jesus, There’s no Gay or Straight’
Earlier in the clip, Mackie says Jesus acknowledges (Matthew 19:12) that some people are ‘eunuchs by birth’ but then twists this passage to make it as though Jesus is saying that some people are homosexuals by birth.
Later he engages in a bit of bible twisting to monkey about with Galatians 3:28, rewording it to add, “there is no male or female, no slave or free, no Jew or non-Jew, no gay or straight…”
I’M NOT FUCKING INTERESTED IN YOUR OPINION.
Why did you even post this in the first place?
You know your going to get nothing BUT the opinions of others.
It’s like Harry and Meghan’s World Privacy Tour.
By the way I feel the same as you do. There is a HUGE difference between being religious and being spiritual. I am of the latter.
Because I like Dr. Tim Mackie’s lectures.
I like my dick sucked. How would you like to be forced to participate?
NO ONE IS FUCKING INTERESTED IN YOUR OPINION!
OK Karen ….reeeeeee
Not interested in yours either. Not that that will stop a narcissist like you continuing to express yours.
BTW, nobody fucking cares what you are interested in or not.
Then shut the fuck up is still an option open to you.
The word Mackie is looking for is homosexual. There’s nothing gay about abomination.
Fuck off.
What would you convert to Christianity from ?
Why not say ?
Well…this has been fun, but it looks like its about played itself out…until next time.
Ya did good!
keep going: a*hole!
ain’t none o’ yur f’g business, but u’ll keep pushin’, woncha?
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
How about YOU fuck off?
That is an unacceptable position for Christians, flash. Thanks for the heads up. I enjoyed the Bible summary shorts, but that’s not where I would go for actual Bible study. Penitent faith and sexual immorality are not compatible.
I watched some of those a couple weeks ago. They are quite good.
One hundred years ago Rudolf Steiner wrote “We will eliminate the soul with medicine”. About that same time 20 million people around the world died from the Spanish flu and the vast majority that died had been injected with the vaccine.
Steiner stated that vaccines would medically render the soul and any spiritual connection to the universe impossible. Humanity would become completely materialistic and unable to connect to God and morality and conscience would be lost. The satanist joos considered being immune from the “madness” of morality and “living the gospel” would free humanity.
From birth to kindergarten children are now given in excess of 30 vaccines and the amount of sociopaths loose in society is now around 30%. I believe they have found a way to achieve their goal, stopping the vaccine genocide of the soul is crucial lest we become monsters.
Soon, living the gospel will not be possible and I believe God will have to destroy the abomination crafted by the satanists.
How can the soul — a spiritual entity, like God is — be eliminated by a physical artifice or device?
Think about it …
A quotation I heard by a very holy man in 1994: “We are not human beings on a human journey — we are spiritual beings on a human journey.”
We are, at our core, of the same essence as God … we are spiritual … and that spiritual component is indestructible.
There have been many more Sons of God than Jesus Christ … and there are far greater sources of the truth than the Bible … especially the Old Testament, which enshrines the hatred and arrogance of a people that defied God at every turn — and then told the rest of US that they are the ‘chosen’ people.
Anthony- Do a deep dive into this subject and you can get a better understanding. There is a undisputed rise in sociopaths in society that begins in the childhood so it’s not something learned.
Did you ever think they would inject 80% of the world’s population with nanobots?
I began my ‘deep dive’ into this realm in 1973 … 50 years ago … and that’s how I’ve arrived at my current state.
I didn’t mention anything as being learned … nor did I I mention anything about sociopaths and/or their origins …
I stand by my post as written …
Why does everyone miss this important point?
It is WHITE people 80% injected!
I encourage everyone to read the bible. But it is only the start of our spiritual journey. “The Flute of God,” takes one far past the borders of Christianity. It teaches one how to connect with the holy spirit and experience spiritual liberation in this lifetime.
lol, I accidentally hit the nail on the head with the cult thing
Cult is the worship of personality. There is only the worship of God the creator in my religion.
Steiner has a very low opinion of God’s power, but vaccines are bad.
I didn’t last 30 seconds listening to him. That’s all it took for me to understand he wasn’t worth wasting my time on. Steph it you want to learn the real Bible listen to John McArthur at his YouTube channel Grace to You.
WTF you would think I’d be interested in your source when you so easily dismissed mine? The audacity!
Because yours is ridiculous and mine is established. Don’t take it personal. Love ya!
Ironic hypocrisy.
NO ONE IS FUCKING INTERESTED IN YOUR OPINION!
FUCK OFF!
probably because he sounds like a fag and his shit’s all retarded
Good recommendation. John McArthur is one of the most cogent minds when it comes to living for Christ in this day and age. I draw on John’s Biblical insight continually.
Soyboys deconstruct, then converge.
Religion is about religion.
Church is profit seeking business just like any other business.
How many of you have eve tried to read bible the koran etc. ect. You haven’t because most of it is gibberish word salad.
Then money grubbing “experts” come in and fleece you of your $$$$
My church is not profit seeking at all.
Do you have a pastor/priest/shepherd? A building? A tax exemption?
I don’t agree with Aca about it only being a business, but it’s still a biggie.
Modern Churchianity is an Israel first cult.
SO?
Indeed! It’s Biblical, not a State secret!
Joel C. Rosenberg is one of the Leftists who hate Israel
lol, makes me think of all the things that are’dangerous to our democracy’
I take issue with his use of the word “ancients”. There is a lack of specificity there that I find troubling.
Because Jesus appears in the flames with the 3 men King Nebuchadnezzar burned alive, I think I am going with St. Aquinas on this.
HEY ADMIN:
You ever going to do anything about flash spamming TF out of every comment section and ruining discussions? If not, I can’t post on TBP anymore. I can deal with dissent and disagreement but this is fucked up. I’m tired of the spammers getting free reign. It’s just an insidious form of censorship that allows a minority on this site to shut down sources and discussions they don’t like in the comment section.
And, there it is, censor is always the go to weapon for the Leftist ..smh.
I have always noticed lefty tendencies in this one.
SS- Flash is not spamming, he is firing arrows of truth. Are you opposed to truth?
get new glasses
It’s always the witch yelling “burn the witches!”
Every fucking time!
So tell me, why does a person who says they hate Christians , presumably an atheist , post Christian content on TBP ? What is the motive…attention, convergence, or both?
I think she’s transitioning. She’ll probably deny it or maybe doesn’t even see it herself. But I believe that’s what’s happening. Seen it several times in others. And they get really angry about it.
She even made the comment once that the Word is inspiring her creativity. It’s called being filled with the Holy Spirit.
I have every confidence in God’s Abilities, but that’s gonna be one tough pretzel to untwist.
Or a brain tumor.
Occam would be proud!
I caught what you mentioned in the last paragraph. This is what spirituality is all about. Steph and others ae just getting caught in their poor mental arguments. The Holy Spirit is real, and will guide you to a far greater life than you ever had before if you will let it.
Yes, witnessing a transformation is an amazing thing. Like a baby being born. The Holy Spirit speaks to us all in different ways and we each have our own unique journey. Steph is hungry & is searching. That’s how it begins.
I believe the times such as this that we’re in will do that to people. We’re in a spiritual battle. We have two choices. You can either go the way of Satan or you can look toward the light. Steph is looking toward the light. Good for her.
https://www.tor.com/2020/05/13/eustace-was-a-dragon-all-along-aslan-and-spiritual-growth-in-the-voyage-of-the-dawn-treader/
Her first step needs to be to get to the root of her anger/rage and heal from it. The walls will come down and she would hopefully be open to the one, true God.
I speak from experience.
Hey flash, Stephanie has a point, you are the antithesis of a “christian”.
Would Jesus talk to Stephanie the way you do? The way you talk to everybody who slightly disagrees with you? What about love and tolerance? What about a thoughtful presentation of your alternate view points, instead of pre-adolescent sarcasm and personal attacks? You know…an adult discussion.
Are you capable of that? I don’t think so. You camoflauge your low IQ and complete absence of the ability to debate intelligently, with your addiction to copy/paste.
Would Jesus talk LIKE Stephanie?
The only point she has is on top of her head.
I can tell that your idea of a Christian is exclusively one of these pompous, holier than thou, virtue signaling finger waggers.
If Flash wants to engage in hyperbole when speaking of the Jews, that is his prerogative. At the heart of his argument is a seed of truth that none of you can destroy. You’d have done so LONG before now, were it possible!
Christianity is monolithic. Christians are not. We’re as unique as snowflakes, but we all have that one thing in common. We made the right choice when it mattered most.
So, Flash, if you read this I’m sorry if I embarrassed you by coming to your defense.
There’s a lot I could say, but right now, that’s all I wanted to convey.
Judaism was the first monolithic “religion” and predates Christianity by 1,500 years.
Interesting that is never mentioned in the bible. Did Jews a have copyright on it?
Have fun out there in the weeds, ijit.
only because flash (he/she/?) is a a pre-adolescent, still sitting/living in his mommie’s basement
I’M not a perfect Christian and my flaws are many, but fake is among them.
While I respect all denominations, I have zero respect for those leaders who attempt to mislead their flock with false teachings of scripture , which unlike simply misunderstanding what is written, they try to make it fit with their modern world view of sin ain’t so bad, it’s just the intolerance for sin that God hates.
That said, if you weren’t a drooling dumbass, you would have noticed that this post by SS was a copy and paste…with zero effort, by one who claims to not even believe in Christ…smh…go back to coloring you rainbow flags, junior.
You are the judge of what are false scriptures? Does that not put you in somewhat of a god-like position? I think your god would have a problem with that. Like I said before, your attempts at humor and sarcasm denote a child like brain that never fully developed or was traumatized in some way or both. Pray to your god for help with that.
Yes, I am the person who determines what I believe , just as you are the judge of what you believe, regardless how wrong you always are. Sorry ‘tard, I can’t help you there.
Here’s an example of me judging truth in scripture, analtard. One may be simply wrong on preaching the rapture of the church before the second coming, but any preacher that’s teaching that homosexuality is not a sin against God or that hell is not a consequence of that sin is a teaching a lie and anyone that has ever seriously read scripture will see this as an absolute, unmistakeable lie.
There’s yer glowie, pal.
Steph…good for you for taking on the Bible & wanting to discuss. Really.
I don’t engage in these discussions because they usually never end well because everyone has their own interpretation of truth & everyone feels they’re right and will not budge.
Having said that, if you’re on Twitter you should follow Red River D. He used to comment here. He’s a biblical scholar, highly intelligent, and well-spoken. He’s great to learn from & very difficult to argue against, IMO. He makes really good points. I think you might like having discussions with him. Just beware, tho, he doesn’t put up with any bullshit.
I’d definitely welcome his insights. There’s been others on TBP who’ve made good comments too. However, I think I’m at the end of the line with posting on TBP. Admin was the first person to ever publish my writing and I’m forever grateful to him for it. But, I can’t deal with the spam any longer. It’s just another form of censorship. It shuts down any worthwhile conversations and it’s being done by a tiny minority on TBP. I don’t see any point in posting anything if half the comment section is going to be filled with one or two people spamming dumb memes and sources that contribute nothing to the original topic.
A desperate attempt to get TBP members to stroke her ego and plead for her to stay.
The lack of takers should tell SS something. Of course, nobody can tell SS anything , so…….
Nope! It’s me agreeing with everybody. I have nothing in common with people on TBP anymore and I should move on. Obviously based on the comments on this video (which isn’t controversial at all) I don’t need to post anymore.
An excellent experiment. If SS posts again, she is not even true to herself.
I await the SS rationalizations when she posts again.
What a great exit plan. Leave, or look like a totally lacking self control narcissist.
Well played…….. 🙂
I fully agree: this site has become filled with commenters who have their own ideas about what Christianity means to them and any one who deviates, even slightly, is treated as an apostate who must be shredded on-sight (on-site☻).
The are many other sites (chat rooms?) that would highly value your comments: (TruthSocial?).
The problem with all “god talk” and the arrogance that accompanies it.
a: “I am right. Everyone else is wrong”
b: “But everyone says that!”
a: “Yeah, but they are all wrong”
And so on.
Still waiting for the results of the “How many Angels?” debate. Any progress?
They say theres two things you should never bring up in a bar, Religion and Politics. I wonder why they say that?
Because most people are cowards.
Post one more time to let us who enjoy your commentary can find you.
If you want non-controversial responses to videos, go to youtube.
Why did he leave? Anyone know or can say? I liked him, but not enough to join fucking Twatter though.
You self important cunt. Try fucking off for a few month and see if anybody gives a shit.
You won’t because you know nobody will care. Your insanely inflated ego could not survive that so no fucking way is your subconscious going to allow it. Nobody is trying to “shut down sources and discussions they don’t like in the comment section.” except you by trying to have your detractors banned.
Here is the thing SS, you have control. Fuck off and you won’t have to deal with all us meanies who won’t stroke your childish ego.
GO FLASH! Fuck you and your whiny “poor me” shtick SS.
you sound like a demented 12 year old
Hi SS. 🙂
NO ONE IS FUCKING INTERESTED IN YOUR OPINION!
FUCK OFF!
In the battle between the left/progressive and the right/conservative; setting aside religious dogma, the dividing line is “mores”, ie societal customs and habits.
Mores were developed over many years as a guide to the future success of society.
The word “To – mor- row” expresses the value of mores – tried and true habits and customs that carry society into the future and continue to carry society.
When the past lessons of informed behavior (mores) are forgotten or intentionally corrupted you arrive in today’s world.
Homogenous cultures for the win.
The major difference between the Right and Left is that while the Right is offended by the lie, the Left is driven violently insane by truth…it’s really the only way to tell.
1) Masturbate
2) Masturbate
3) Masturbate
4) Masturbate
5)Wash hands
You’ll notice that all the blue cities are filled with triggered lefties…and none of them prosecute public sex crimes.
Just sayin!
Wow, that escalated quickly.
As religious discussions are wont to do.
The irony is there’s nothing discussion or debate worthy in the video I posted. It was really just a feel good lecture that I posted to go along with the Sunday Morning Classics post because Sundays are usually a slow day on TBP. There really was no need for flash’s assholery or for this comment section to go to shit so quickly. There was nothing in the video to debate.
But YOUR assholery? Just fine?
BTW SS, you might want to examine WHY the comments on YOUR posts “go to shit so quickly”. What is the common factor?
Could YOU in any way be the responsible party?
If anybody would actually watch the video they’d see there’s literally no reason this post should’ve gotten more than maybe 5 comments. There’s nothing controversial in the video. This comment section is just a bunch knee jerk reactions because I post something.
Would that be your humble opinion?
That is because you have been an insufferable and hypocritical cunt as long as I have seen you post here. You are the cause of the vitriol sent your way. That you clearly can’t see or accept that, is your true handicap.
You appear an unpleasant and fragile narcissist, and a DK low with a very high opinion of their sanctimony. I pity you as it is clear you are incapable of metacognition and so will be one until you die.
Then I won’t be missed and there’s no reason for me to post anymore. I’ve only stayed on TBP this long because Admin has always been generous in posting my content.
have you looked in a mirror recently?
Unfortunately, that about says it all. Her way right or wrong, or no way. Hard to learn and grow when you already know it all.
Stephanie,
You live in world A (I have to visit World A daily, but I live in World B).
World A is fake, insane, filled with hatred, jealousy, war, lies, greed,corruption.
World B is the search for truth (love, respect, compassion, thankfulness, service to others).
Your search/My search for truth can only go through Our Savior Jesus Christ.
(Any other outcome is eternal suffering in Hell).
Your job (if you accept it Mr Phelps) and My job is to bring the ones we love
from World A to World B.
At the same time, it is to make others aware of how fake our World is,
moving others to the right path.
Their will be most likely much pain and fear along this journey because
Satan is very powerful…… Do Not Give Up!
We as a Country – as well as a World, are where we are because people are
brainwashed by Satan to accept World A.
Please do NOT accept World A!
Fight for World B!
Best to you on your search.
Malachi 4:1
“For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.”
Do You really believe that God would torture ANYBODY forever?
Burned up. Done. No more. That’s Eternal.
Are you saying that she’s the common denominator in this equation? The proverbial pivot man in the daisy chain? It would appear so. Her comments on other posts don’t cause this level of shit storm. What’s causing it is the shit coming out of her head. The more you hear, the worse it gets.
Less is more and none is best! lol!
It has to to reach SS on her Ivory Tower of sanctimony and victimhood.
“We shit standing up around here!” – Jack Lame, Anchorman
You know I have had a feeling that 3 people who post here were really one person. They have a little clique sometimes too, with their own sort mysterious knowing each other. Now maybe it’s 4 people?
The Stephanie picture always screamed fake to me (images really have an effect on belief). Also the over the top offendedness.
Could be wrong but it is the internet.
Lol, nope. That’s really my picture. Here’s my Truth Social account if you want to compare.

Lol
Well if you’re real say the prayer before studying the Bible… if you’re real show me. Be prepared.
Barukh attah Adonai Eloheinu melekh ha-olam, asher

I just threw up in my mouth a little

gas the kikes
You’re funny.
Got a little mustache , neatly trimmed, just below your nose?
Hides all the dripping snot, don’t it?
Do your sidelocks curl on their own? Put on your little hat, your god doesn’t want to see your gross naked head.
Access denied. I guess “Truth Social” doesn’t like VPNs. You are the first person I have encountered who uses it, besides Trump. I have always enjoyed your content, even if I don’t agree with it.
I use it as a psuedo news aggregate. Makes it easier to follow certain things.
I use a VPN, have for years, have no prob with TS. Interesting!
Right. You never know who you are talking to on the internet. Can’t trust anyone – has been my experience. Live & learn.
There are some here who use multiple handles & use ‘anonymous’ when replying to certain people. Why do they do that? Is it because they are cowards? I think so. But surprise, surprise – it’s the way of the world these days. Cowards galore.
And, yes, you are also right about the cliques. Something else I will not take any part in. We’ll let the ‘really good friends’ have their little party, and their little inside jokes, and their little love fests. Hopefully, more intelligent people can find their way to this site soon, or my interest is running super low.
I used to use a name.
Noticed people prejudged my comments because of it.
If the name matters, you are already prejudiced.
I like to know who I’m talking to. I like to know something about that person based on their previous comments before I engage in a discussion/argument with them. It’s relationship building 101. Not that hard to understand.
Nah, most of you remember previous comments to smear the other person. If I commented anonymously none of you have anything the nit pick. My comments would utterly bland if I didn’t log in.
Steph…I get smeared sometimes, too. Big fucking deal. Deal with it and stop crying about it. I will eventually just ignore those who continue to harass me. Why don’t you do the same?
The reason you get the feedback you do is cuz you make yourself such an easy target.
She literally invites it!
BULLSHIT !
I see people positively quoting others’ comments here damned regularly.
Understood, but that is a form of prejudice.
Ok, so who fucking cares about being prejudice?? Good grief.
Either you can handle an argument or you can’t. Hiding behind ‘anonymous’ is just cowardly.
Clearly, not you.
If you have a good argument and can articulate it well, then you don’t need to worry about anyone being prejudice. We’re supposed to be thinkers here, right???
That ‘prejudice’ argument is a bullshit cop out.
Oh my….
keep on slappin”, Abby !
https://youtu.be/g-ujc-tDvUw
If you have a good argument, it doesn’t matter what you post under. However if I go by a certain name, I know I’m more likely to stick to more combative stances. How many times would people not bother to tell someone to f off, if their ego wasn’t involved?
And for some of us, it’s a habit picked up from better times.
Hey Abigail, please post your address and social security #
No?
Why?
Are you a coward?
We are all anonymous here you fucking idiot.
How’s that for an argument?
Stop being a complete dumbass. When you can track someone’s comments you begin to understand how they think & their belief system making it easier to have a discussion with them.
Are you really this clueless?
And, on that note, I’m done replying to Anonymous.
If we all had a dollar every time you said that……LOL !
As if anybody really “understands” anybody else around here.
Bunch of chimps flinging shit on each other.
Speak for yourself, Bonzo.
If only there were just one of you fuckers it would be fine. What we have here is a conspiracy of malcontents.
OH noes!
LOL. Promise?
You and SS love the grandstand statements of how you will no longer bless us with your gifts of opinion and judgement, don’t you?
Aren’t we special and important?
FUCKING RETARDED
That’s how it is. i’m gonna slap you so hard! I’ll just be slappin’ ya, slappin ya slappin’ ya silly!
Lemme guess, you are talking to your dick.
You must be one of those aliens with ears on their dicks to even imagine such a thing.
Amen, sister!
It’s called building a reputation, and you are too thin skinned to be in here if that’s your reason. I’ll happily take shit for my beliefs, as long as they ARE my beliefs, well thought out and tested.
We are fearfully and wondrously made, but none of us are perfect. Learn to be comfortable in your own skin.
You are currently cheating yourself out of the respect I feel for everyone here who uses their handle consistently and bravely. That’s on you.
Everybody thinks their opinion on and approval of others matters today.
Isn’t that special.
It’ll be VERY special the day you realize you need something and there’s no one willing to piss on your face to put the fire out.
Interesting. So you have situations where your face is on fire and you want someone to piss on it?……
Apparently commonly enough to mention it as example too. How odd.
Good. I hope you do.
Don’t forget to edit..btw…
I find the idea that one can not be both friendly AND independent minded insulting. But yeah. I get it. It can be off-putting to the newbies. Those who find value here (as I do) stick around long enough to get over it (like I did).
Hey. I’ll try to be friendly to just about everyone, but when it doesn’t pan out I don’t lose my shit over it. It’s just part of life.
Also, FYI, I’m sure Mensa is accepting applications if you’ve outgrown the people who lured you here to begin with.
It’s shit like this why TBP is losing readers. Turning into a Churchianity echo chamber. Fleabags would have agreed.
Seems like a waste of time to post anything when the site is infected with an Evangelical virus. No discourse anymore, just arguments.
You are exactly what you condemn.
OK Prometheus freak.
I don’t see you leaving. Wass up id dat?
Exactly ICE-9.
The over the top bible thumping here is deafening sometimes. But what really turns my stomach is the straight up HATRED and prejudices of the so called “christians” against those who don’t believe something that was written 2,000+ years ago in an extinct language that has been re translated, who knows how many times, by whomever won the latest war. This is what Stephanie is talking about. If you don’t believe what I believe you go to hell, doesn’t matter if you’re a good, righteous person, nope, go straight to hell, fuck you, burn in hell. It’s like a gutter drunk going on rants about how great it is to be sober.
Organized religion = Intellectual suicide

Stephanie,
Please see my reply to you posted 1/3 up the page.
(I should have posted as new post instead of reply…………..)
posted @ 5:11pm
I see it now. Indeed. You’re correct.
Remarkable how ‘Personal’ they are. Had to do a little research.
“He Whispers You Name” By Cherie Hill. Looked at a few sites, the reviews were fairly uniformly the same observation.
“Like it was written to Me personally!”
Sent a copy to my sister. As time went on, eventually got another copy for home, Read it 1st thing in the morning, (along with my habitual others) sometimes before bed as well.
Supposed to be for women based on the link wording, must be a marketing ploy? Normally, That wording alone would set off alarm bells, but i had read enough by the time i ordered the first one to know definitely not gender (or denomination) specific.
But 1 (one) “unpardonable Sin”.
May want to check it out Yourself.
Able to appreciate the selfless Gentleman’s daily effort even more, sometimes convo follows.
It’s is funny because I have as yet to see anybody say that anybody was going to hell here. I have though seen Stephanie be very derogatory (to me included) if people didn’t agree with the gospel according to Stephanie. Despite the fact that she claims to not be a Christian and as such it would seem a relative neophyte on the topic, she attempts poorly to discredit anything, some who have been digesting it for almost a lifetime, when it contradicts her skin deep countenance.

https://christiancourier.com/articles/the-incredible-accuracy-of-the-bible-an-argument-for-inspiration
Congrats! That is possibly the most retarded thing I’ve ever read, somewhere around a thread by a bunch of niggers who thought white people were descended from wolves.
It’s actually worth a read, for sheer entertainment value.
Still holding on to your prejudices in spite of the facts which you can’t disprove makes you the retard, dumbfuck.
I could easily shoot holes in that article, but what’s the point? I’d have to post it somewhere that got views, or it would be like stepping on individual ants at an anthill.
By all means, continue posting that link, people with half a brain will see through it and the ridiculous standard of his argument. People who still believe men have one less rib than women might fall for it though.
Loved the Bible Project video!
The bible on ten minutes.
..already there, but not yet.
feature=share3
The shitflinging was fun but apparently it’s boomer bedtime now.
Hey Stephanie. I hope you keep on posting. Your intent was honorable. I can tell, you ‘try’. Don’t let naysayers overwhelm you. The nice thing about this forum is that all voices can be heard. Its a fallen world. So … persevere. And never take your eyes off Jesus Christ. Who He is. What He has done for you and me. Because that is the GOSPEL (I Corinthians 15:3-5. Because that is CHRISTIANITY.
Thank you.
so first time caller long time listener…… here goes:
This thread makes Christianity look bad and people who oppose it look like rabid dogs ready to attack. I am a believer but I can’t believe this thread……..madness I tell you…….madness abounds.
O and so does shisty conspiracy to lure unsuspecting believers into pedantic bickering about “religion”
………for whatever reason……..
