“I’ll tell you a secret, since media is not here. Thank you for not allowing the media in. Look, I’m a Southern Baptist, I don’t wanna get too spooky on you, But, you know, the Lord speaks to your heart.
“The Lord began to wake me up, through this three-week process, in the middle of night to speak to me. The Lord impressed upon my heart a few weeks before this happened that something was going to occur.
“And the Lord very specifically told me in my prayers to prepare, but to wait. At the time, I assumed the Lord was going to choose a new Moses and thank you, Lord, you’re going to allow me to be Aaron to Moses.
“I had this sense that we were going to come to a Red Sea moment in our Republican conference and in the county at large. God had been speaking to me about this, and the Lord told me very clearly to prepare and be ready.
“Ultimately 13 people ran for the post. And the Lord kept telling me to, ‘Wait, wait, wait.’ So I waited, I waited. And then at the end the Lord said, ‘Now step forward.’
“Me? I’m supposed to be Aaron. ‘No,’ the Lord said, ‘Step forward.’” – Mike Johnson, speaking last night to the far-right National Association of Christian Lawmakers.
This man is a true believer. True believers do not compromise anything that goes against what they believe their religion tells them. This man is far more dangerous than Donald Trump, who is simply a grifter and was in it for himself. This guy thinks the gods have ordained him. Anybody who stands against him is going against God, in his own mind.
Yep. Christcucks regularly blaspheme without even realizing it since their knowledge of the religion is only surface level.
If Jesus happens to be real, the Christians are the least likely group to make it into Heaven.
If they actually read the Bible they would be shocked to find that Jesus was a tree hugging hippie socialist.
Jesus was a schizophrenic amalgamation of myths and unknown authors’ own personal opinion, and it’s not much better now.
You mean like this? (newsweek article)
Yeah but god was a nasty, jealous, violent, abusive, hateful asshole (all very petty human emotions) in the Old Testament.
Can’t pick and choose. And no, Jesus didn’t nullify the laws of the Old Testament. He literally said that himself.
Some would say fulfillment is nullification. Jesus didn’t say he was there to change the law, but to fulfill it. Some claim his death and subsequent resurrection fulfilled the laws of the Old Testament for every man, woman, and child.
Yeah, no. You should be embarrassed that an atheist (perhaps anti-theist) knows more about your religion than you.
Maybe take a look at the very next verse after that one for some context?
Seems pretty fucking clear to me.
I think saying they have a surface level understanding is giving them way too much credit.
