Evangelicals Are Now Rejecting ‘Liberal’ Teachings of Jesus
“Multiple pastors tell me, essentially, the same story about quoting the Sermon on the Mount, parenthetically, in their preaching’turn the other cheek’[and] to have someone come up after to say, ‘Where did you get those liberal talking points?’” Moore said.
“When the pastor would say, ‘I’m literally quoting Jesus Christ’ … The response would be, 'Yes, but that doesn’t work anymore. That’s weak,” he added. “When we get to the point where the teachings of Jesus himself are seen as subversive to us, then we’re in a crisis.”
And people dont understand why I say the orange clown is an Antichrist and may be the Antichrist.
The doomed by a perfect circle is very disturbing accurate.
Ehh, isn’t the antichrist supposed to be a nearly impossibly attractive person, in charisma and looks? A lot of people either hate him or are entirely indifferent and the reasons don’t seem to be religiously motivated.
I just settle with him being a douchebag.
This is still what baffles me. We aren’t losing our country to a charismatic, two faced mastermind. We’re losing our country to a fucking obvious loser. He’s literally so bad it’s hard to parody him since even the parodies are tame in comparison to what he actually does. It’s ridiculous
Don’t forgot about how all his weird followers depict him in their fan art though…. They seem to at least perceive him as exactly that.
Prosperity gospel has been shitting on the red text of Christ for decades now.
Jesus hated wealth inequality. The only group he said would never enter heaven were the wealthy (“easier to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven”, in other words, it isn’t possible for the rich to enter heaven). Jesus also violently flipped tables and whipped the wealthy to drive them out of temples.
So conservative “Christians” abandoned the teachings of Christ many decades ago.
Not just the wealthy, but people who were using the temple as a place of business (and likely ripping people off on interest)
Yeah, it was the moneychangers and the stall keepers that tolerated them.
It was a religious duty to contribute money for the upkeep of the temple. So people would come from out of town and try to hand over their cash and the priests would say “we can’t accept foreign coinage… go talk to that dude over there with the heavy pockets, he’ll help you”. And the moneychanger would convert their currency, but not without keeping a fat percentage for himself.
The lesson (as I read it) is that setting yourself up as a gatekeeper and forcing people to pay you in order to do the right thing is an especially odious behaviour, even if it’s legal.
This sounds like Warhammer 40K flavour text. How can anyone write this and think that they are the good guy?
With flattery he will corrupt those who have violated the covenant, but the people who know their God will firmly resist him.
Daniel 11:32
He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself superior… He will use every kind of evil deception to fool those on their way to destruction, because they refuse to love and accept the truth that would save them.
Daniel 8:25, 2 Thess 2:10
… a despicable person will arise… a man of contempt… to whom the royal honor has not been rightfully conferred. He will slip in when least expected and will seize the kingdom through flattery and intrigue.
Daniel 11:21
After an alliance is made with him he will practice deception, and he will go up and gain power with a small force of people.
He will try to change the set times and the laws.
Dan. 7:25
Daniel 8 and 11 here are talking about a prophecy that has already “been fulfilled” - common in the Bible to make these kinds of retroactive prophecies. The bad guy being described there is Antiochus.
That is just Daniel 8. Daniel 11 could reasonably be talking about modern times
My sister once told my mom that empathy is what’s ruining this country. It’s not even like it was a misinterpretation/misunderstanding, that’s almost word for word how she said it. I can’t fathom how someone comes to that line of thinking.
To me it feels like social darwinism mentality - the belief that helping the weak survive weakens the herd. AKA “hard choices”.
The problem is that’s actually the opposite of how that works. If you refuse to care for the weak in your community, you foster this atmosphere of sociopathy and mistrust that causes the group to destroy itself.
Why the hell do you think there are only two Sith in Star Wars?
He wasn’t a pastor, he was a deacon and probably just a twitter troll but no one here cares about accuracy it seems
Pastors and deacons are both member of the church, and arnt that far apart in rank
Sorry no, you are wrong. But that’s understandable considering how actively ignorant atheists are about what actually happens in churches
My only question is why so fuckdamn many of you are ALSO so arrogant about it
Sorry no, you are wrong
Oh no, they mixed up pastor and priest, what a sin! Two words that are super alike and mean basically the same thing, damn them!
Deacons aren’t pastors or priests, they are glorified ushers
They’re still one level down the hierarchy, which was their point
Or are you being an idiot on purpose?
Point or no point, it’s hard not to cringe when I see PizzaCake comics.
Why?
Enjoy the read.
Thanks for that. Having read it, though, I think it’s likely that I’ll forget about the details soon enough to continue nothing-ing her comics. The whole argument feels silly from the periphery.
Demon pizzacake can get it
appreciate the message, but God can we please not share pizza cake comics on Lemmy, none of them were funny on Reddit and they’re not funny here.
Look, on many things, we probably agree. Maybe even more important things.
And I don’t even love this comic, its just, fine, its whatever.
That said I upvoted this comic to spite you and your comment here, because I don’t like your sentiment that people can’t like and share things that they like because your hipster instinct kicked in.
Humor is fairly subjective. You don’t want content because you don’t like it? That’s fundamentally against the concept of what Lemmy represents. This isn’t a website to cater to your whims.
Noooo I though I escaped this shit.
Noooo I though I escaped this shit.
…which shit? You’re in a community called comicstrips and it’s a comic strip.
The bad ones. That are obviously botted. This shit would always be at the top of the page on Reddit. And it’s never funny.
Are you just saying you don’t like pizzacake comics? She’s a real person, not a bot, her comics are popular. It’s okay to just not like a particular artist or creator. Just be honest about it.
edit: reminder people, your brain invents stories to explain how you feel, and most people never question these stories because they think if their own brains are thinking things, it MUST be true, and they think that brains are logical tools for figuring out the world.
NO, your brain is a tool for storytelling, nothing more. It tells you stories to explain how you feel, and it has no obligation to tell stories that make a lick of sense. This is why you get depressed and ruminate and the feelings get worse. This is why people live their whole lives in a belief system that harms them. Understand how your brain works and you won’t be like this user here, flinging out weak, nonsense arguments to explain not liking a popular thing.
I’m not sure I follow. This doesn’t seem “obviously botted” to me. Is it not possible that different people find different things funny and we don’t all share one common sense of humor?
(Or, I suppose, that comic strips can have value beyond humor.)
Some people don’t think about how they feel and invent reasons or stories to explain their illogical reactions like hating a particular artist’s style or something. They’re afraid that they don’t have a good reason to dislike something popular so they invent justifications.
This is the comic that makes pandering public comics to promote their paid art
Which might be fine, but it seems like good context to know.
It is true that I personally do not find most of her recent political comics to be particularly funny or insightful–which is fine, she does not have to draw to satisfy me–but there are plenty of her comics which are not about politics but about cats or silly reflections on life, especially before Trump got elected.
So in short, thank you very much for your comment because it totally inspired me to check this person out and find comics of theirs that I enjoyed! 😀
They threaten people who parody their work with DMCA
Citation?
Here ya go.
That… is a really impressive amount of drama over such a middling comic.
How is that relevant in this context?
Unless there’s some context I’m missing, that business model sounds… reasonable?
What you’re describing just sounds like advertisement.
Pizzacake comics might be a torture psyop.
