You're already in error to ask for support for positions based on the Bible, because the Church determines the Bible's meaning, not the other way around. If you're evaluating claims against what you think the Bible means, your religion is based on yourself, not on God's Church, and you are a heretic and stand condemned.

The reasons for Christ's death are deeper matters to discuss with those in the Church. The Church is responsible for salvation because it was ordained by God through Christ to be His physical manifestation in the world; there is no other way to Him.

You say you're part of "a church." But there is only one Church, founded by the apostles, and if you were part of the true church, you wouldn't call it "a" church.

I'm not trolling. Matthew 13:13-15.

I don't have a "version" of Christianity; I follow the truth. Why are you so concerned with my identity? Are you unable to engage with true ideas without putting the speaker into a comfortable box?

Of course you don't have the right frame of reference to understand because your mind is steeped in heresy. You think you can steal the Bible from the religion that it belongs to and just decide what it means for yourself, but it doesn't work that way. God ordained his Church as his representative in the world, and only through that Church can you be saved. The Church is the only one who can interpret the Bible, and outside the Church you stand condemned.

I lost all confidence in it when it rated Jerusalem Post and Euronews (associated with Viktor Orban) as "highly reliable". Both push the pro-fascist narratives of their associated governments. It's better to have no labeling than to label fascist propaganda as "highly reliable"

Tankies, just like other fascists, are willing to do whatever it takes to gain and keep power, including pretending to support socialism

This same "discovery" gets reported on once or twice a year; it's starting to feel like a FUD campaign rather than actual research

Ukraine isn't asking anyone to go to the front and fight for them. They're asking for this aid. Anyone who cares about Ukraine as much as they claim will listen to what Ukraine asks for.

you guys make this same brain-dead comment every time someone shows support for Ukraine defending itself from torture, murder, and genocide. what military intelligence and analysis do you have to base this conclusion on? if it's none, then stfu already

Reddit used to be full of incels who thought visible lips = ran through. Now it's transphobes who think non-visible = trans. That whole place is a gold mine of badwomensanatomy

Maybe the WSJ has a point; we could save a lot of money if we stopped buying breakfast and just ate the WSJ staff instead

It's only political if you think human rights are political. For normal people who care about other people, it's a light hearted comedy

Russian propaganda spreads the false narrative that Crimea has belonged to Russia for most of its existence and that its indigenous people, the Qırımtatarlar, or more commonly known as the Qirimli, have always been a small part of the Crimean population and have mixed with Russians.

Despite Russia's numerous attempts to wipe them off the map to fulfill this narrative, today, the Qırımtatarlar are alive and fighting for their homeland on the peninsula and on the other side of the Russian front as part of the Ukrainian Army.

Today, Yuliia and Alim Aliiev, Deputy Director General of the Institute of Ukraine, member of PEN Ukraine, and founder of the Crimean Fig literary project, will discuss the most disputed peninsula in the world — Qirim, or Krym in Ukrainian. Who does it really belong to? Was it really originally Russian land? What happened there between 1918 and 2014, when it became known worldwide after the Russian occupation?

In 2014, Western media took a liking to frequent reporting on what they deemed to be the Ukrainian conflict, labeling the paid-by-Russia militia and their Russian troops as separatists. Through that perception of an independent group of people in the region of Donbas, whose culture and identity were supposedly persecuted, the narrative was formed that they wanted nothing more than to cease being Ukrainian and form their own sub-republics adjacent to Mother Russia.

Today we'll discuss what really happened in Donetsk in 2014 from the perspective of a then 16-year-old born and raised in the city. Were there really pro-Russian crowds yearning to separate from Ukraine, so much that they decided to create their own independent republics?
