Lots of allegations were directed at him too. Some from family. But it's all a distraction game. They want people talking about anything but what Warnock voted for and the results of the Biden/Schumer/Pelosi government on Georgians. Herschel shouldn't talk about anything but crime, the economy, inflation, open borders, and spending from Democrats. Warnock isn't good for Georgia and they want people to forget that.
Heresey? I imagine all religions and and beliefs are very much in the eye of the beholder but its not like that is an outrageous statement. Christain AME and other southern black sects are not Roman Catholics or Pentacostals or JHs or Christain Science, or Mormons....

Yes heresy!! Telling people that you can save yourselves is in direct contradiction to what the Bible teaches. There is no gray area. There is no “eye of the beholder”.Heresey? I imagine all religions and and beliefs are very much in the eye of the beholder but its not like that is an outrageous statement.
The True Meaning of Easter
The true meaning of Easter is centered on Jesus Christ and His atonement.
Easter is upon us, and with that comes memories from our childhood and traditions many of us still try to incorporate into our families. Though our memories of Easter as a child are of fun-filled days decorating and collecting eggs, we have, in adulthood, developed a greater appreciation for the real meaning of the holiday.
Easter is a celebration of the gift God gave us through the death, burial, and resurrection of his Son, Jesus Christ. We should think of God’s ultimate sacrifice as a father by sending His one and only son to take on the atonement for our sins. We should think of all the pain and suffering He went through to provide salvation for us. We should think about love and grace. We should think about redemption and freedom and, most importantly, we should think of victory.
What is the real message of Easter?
Many Christians believe the central message of Easter is that Jesus died for us so that we could be forgiven for all our sins. However, this forgiveness was also available in the Old Covenant through sacrificing an animal without blemish in the place of the sinner. No, Easter means something much more than just forgiveness. It symbolizes that we, too, can come to the same “resurrection life” that Jesus lived. 1 Corinthians 15 and 2 Corinthians 4:7-12 both remind us that this is the new life that comes from putting your old life to death, which is the sin that lives in our human nature.
The root of all sin is that human beings choose to do their own will instead of obeying God’s perfect will, with the inevitable consequence of death. Jesus overcame death because He always denied His own will to do His Father’s will in a body like ours with the same desires and passions to live for our pleasure and gain. With the power of God’s Spirit, He suffered these passions and desires to death and lived entirely for God’s pleasure, without once sinning, despite being tempted in every way like us. This was the way of the cross that He made for us to follow.
To believe fully in Jesus Christ and His resurrection is to believe in the work in His body here on earth when He destroyed everything that conflicted with God’s will and His Word in His mortal body. He was obedient unto death, every day of His life, and completed the work on Calvary when He cried, “It is finished!” At that moment, all of the indwelling sin in His human nature had been defeated. The way back to the Father was opened up for humanity.
Easter message of hope.
Easter’s message of hope is no fairy tale or religious device. It demonstrates the love and power of God and His Son for people who are suffering because of sin. God yearns to give each of us true happiness and peace, but the sin we have inherited in our human nature robs us of this.
Jesus did not die merely for our salvation, although he died for that, as described in Isaiah 53:10–12. He also died to free us from sin and its ramifications. Jesus’ resurrection gave us the ability to be released from sin’s power over our life. The resurrection gives us liberating hope. In Romans 6:4-7, Paul put it this way: we were buried with Jesus through baptism into death so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead, we can also live a new life. If we were united with him in a death like his, we would also be connected with him in a resurrection like His.
Perhaps you are feeling bound by the sin in your life. Jesus has hope for you. Jesus’ resurrection can reign in your life and release you from the bondage of sin. Jesus can give you new life. Jesus wants you to be free. Jesus wants to offer everyone in our world the liberty of resurrected life.
Do you have a longing to be set free from the slavery of sin and come to the peace God wants to give you? Jesus has made it possible through the cross, overcoming the power of death by conquering the sin that caused it. Become a true disciple, and follow Him in this way by bringing the sin in your own life into death in obedience to God’s Word! Then you, too, will experience a life of resurrection.
Jesus’ resurrection and ascension offer us the very power of God in our lives, detailed in John 14–16. It gives us a chance to have the transformational power of God as the Holy Spirit working in us. It provides us with the opportunity to be God’s representatives here and now. We can do anything God calls us to do with resurrected life on our side, in us and working through us. The meaning of Easter is resurrection is real and tangible hope right now.
If you cant see how someone would say that this story isnt relatable to many people (not just Christians) all over the world and through time then IDK man... heresey?
yeah Ill just disagree and my take is that that quote is clearly being twisted. The debate about the importance of personal works and being saved is a long and unending one Im not going to even attempt to get into. Im well aware that many Christians hold fervently that good works in Gods name is a clear path to the eternal home with God
This is dumb as fuck. You got any stats for this? I do. 72% of Dems are aligned with some sort of religion. 28% are not.

It wasn’t a quote, it was his tweet….. that he deleted. He certainly had a chance to explain what he meant more clearly if it was being twisted…. he did not.

If you think his quote was denying JC then IDK what to say.
LMAOOOOOOOOOOO.
Don't think your point has anything to do with the legalities of the Separation of church and state, but the bolded is certainly a negative side effect when line between religion and politics gets blurred.
Just know there there are 6 billion other people in the world that dont believe in Christianity and your singular hot take on the matter is wrong.
Some parties in this country WANT a religous purity test.... and they are ok with a violation of their claimed moral superiority to get a political win even if it means electing a braindead, abortion having/paying-for, deadbeat dad with numerous kids out of wedlock who violates every one of their predetermined culture war premisies. lol
It’s totally apposite. A secular nation with freedom of religion isn’t a Christian nation by definition And it’s government isn’t a Christian theocracy. Literally every religion in the world it practices by someone in this country. You are wrong.
Your initial point was that the majority of the Left hates god, implying that instead of the Left being indifferent towards religion it's actually that they're actively anti-religion. Your stance is obviously going to be controversial to those that are on the Left and are religious. Making grandiose statements about things that can't be proven or not based in reality will obviously be treated as inflammatory and I find it hard to believe that wasn't known when making the post.
This is demonstrably false.
It's quicker just to type his name.
I don’t hate God; I just hate many of his followers.

I already did and you conveniently avoided it (linked above). 72% of Democrats are affiliated with "A" religion but that doesnt include only Christians which is where YOU diverged. You see in a secular, free religion country like ours there are MANY religions being practiced and Democrats are a part of those religions. You statement is demonstrably false. Your statement that Democrats hate GOD is fucking stupid.Then demonstrate it please.
Look at religious attendance by political affiliation. It's reasonable to assume that practicing Christians attend church, on average, at least once per week. Look at how those weekly attendees align politically.
And that chart is for all religions

I'm picking up what you're putting down.
Ok, so you mean 50.1% of people on the Left disapprove of Christianity. How can you come to that conclusion, and how do you know that to be true?
