Open Thread for discussing the Evidence of God. My Rules of Engagement: link.medium.com/gLxrcoUuf4 There are 8 rules. Violation of #6 will get you blocked. Each response to this tweet should be a new thread. You may start new discussions without me. Do not clutter the top level.

Skeptics have told me that if they witnessed a miracle, they would believe in God. Probably not. The Jews were awaiting God's Messiah and saw Jesus perform miracles with their own eyes, and refused to believe. “But despite all the miraculous signs Jesus had done, most of the people still did not believe in him.” John 12:37 NLT – at Leander, TX

My periodic reminder during election cycles is that politics will never save humanity. The followers of Jesus need to be Jesus to their party and remember that Jesus isn't for your political flavor. And if you want to change the culture, preach the Gospel and make Disciples.

My wife and I voted today. I had to hold my nose while doing so, but voting for those who represent you in government is a privilege that has historically been given to very few. Go vote.

Yes. Do it. Immediately.

The two most devious things humanists did in the 19th and 20th centuries were to convince people (and many in the Church, unfortunately) that Christian morality was historically the norm, and that the supernatural doesn't exist.

These verses are rarely discussed in the context of Christian Nationalism, and for a good reason. “One day the Pharisees asked Jesus, 'When will the Kingdom of God come?” Jesus replied, “The Kingdom of God can’t be detected by visible signs. You won’t be able to say, ‘Here it is!’ or ‘It’s over there!’ For the Kingdom of God is already among you.” Luke 17:20-21 NLT – at Leander, TX

The systems of the world and religion will always find ways to attack Jesus, overtly and subtly. “Then the leading priests and Pharisees called the high council together. “What are we going to do?” they asked each other. “This man certainly performs many miraculous signs. If we allow him to go on like this, soon everyone will believe in him. Then the Roman army will come and destroy both our Temple and our nation.” John 11:47-48 NLT

I concur.

We all have no trouble ascribing evil to nations, peoples, and ethnicities we don't like. What we struggle with is ascribing evil to the person in the mirror. Jesus did not. Repent and follow Jesus. – at Leander, TX

The world is broken. Technology won't fix it because technology doesn't fix human nature. Jesus does, and he will restore all things when he returns.

Jesus called our evil thoughts a well from which ponēros (Greek for evil or bad nature) thoughts and actions came. Jesus did not view our sin the way we do. He saw it as corrupting. “For from within, out of a person’s heart, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness. ” Mark 7:21-22 NLT – at College Station, TX

Jesus never explained how the Eucharist works, so it is interesting to see Christians try to do so. “So Jesus said again, 'I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you cannot have eternal life within you. ” John 6:53 NLT – at College Station, TX

We need to remind ourselves of this when we get on our political bandwagon.

This is an excellent question.

Let's start by stopping the anthropomorphizing of the technology.

I'm still trying to figure out how we went from gambling being illegal to you being able to gamble on literally anything almost overnight.

Never forget that knowing the Bible does not bring eternal life. Knowing the one the Bible points to (Jesus) does. “You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me! Yet you refuse to come to me to receive this life.” John 5:39-40 NLT – at Leander, TX

AI will augment humans, not replace them, in the future.
