Didn’t they just blow up some railways on their side that would help get supply’s and troops to their border? Good timing

Exactly. These “Christians” are hypocrites. I’ll probably be down voted I don’t care. I haven’t hid my faith, I’m a Christian, yet progressive and these people are hiding their own desires behind a religion. It happens with all religions for sure, we just see it with Christianity predominantly here in the US. This verse is saying their reward is that others see them praying and that’s it. God isn’t rewarding them. The next verse teaches us we should pray in private and God rewards those people.

Also we just talked about Timothy 2 and our pastor made a good point the word for quiet was used in a previous verse Tim 2:2 that meant peaceful, quiet/calm life’s. Timothy calls out men and women. It doesn’t mean muzzled. Women of the time were dressing in such a way to bring attention to them at church instead of the teachings.

You’re telling me. I just started a small construction company on the side and have to do it uninsured because it cost at a minimum $4,000 a year just for liability. Seems ridiculous

Edit: I’m in Iowa too so clearly away from any possible large disasters. I know liability insurance is different from homeowners but I think it having a large effect on insurance as a whole. Also when the derecho went though Iowa, everyone and their brother apparently became a contractor and collected insurance money and that ruined it for a lot of other people.

I was born in 92’ couple years after the movie. My dad was/is a fan of action films so I think it had a part in how I got my name.

It’s already happening with his voters/followers. I went to a rodeo last weekend, it was small but still very “country”. I did not see one person wearing trump gear. 4 years ago it would’ve been hard not to see someone wearing a trump shirt or hat.

Thank you! Very helpful, happy to be here

I’m new here, was sure what the lemmy.----- meant so I jumped on world, what is the different between the lemmy. ?

More of the right will identify as Christian’s but the left is much closer to the teachings of Jesus because the fruits of the spirit are: love, compassion, empathy, understanding, kindness, gentleness, truthfulness, brotherhood, forbearance, faith, joy, just to name a few.

When thinking of those “fruits” not many people think of the conservative Christian’s. It bothers me more than anything they hide behind their “beliefs” to push their personal agenda that goes directly against the teachings of Jesus. Gives Christianity a bad name, then again I would say each religion has it’s own group of extremist that make the whole look bad.
