      I dont want to get everyone confused, but we are supposed to judge, with righteous judgement. We arent to judge of outward appearance, but rather by the fruit of thd spirit. Not always even by the words one might say, for people suck at communicating 94% of the time… ok maybe like 77%. (This reply as example)

      To prejudge, is to come to premature conclusions about someone, and is more than unadvisable. Assuming to treat someone based on hearsay snd assumptions is one of the lowest forms of social interaction.

        This is true, and it is also important to keep in mind that choosing some things that might seem to be appearance at first sight falls more under actions.

        Wearing maga gear, having nazi symbolism, and other symbols of hate falls under actions since they are intentionally promoting hate. Judging people like that is judging what they are currently doing, not prejudging based on something like wearing a cowboy hat and boots which is just a style of clothing.

          No… thats not right. The whole point is that exceptions aren’t made, dont prejudge people. It doesn’t matter the appearance, clothing, symbols, or whatever. We judge by thd action and fruit. Judging on any appearance is always making assumptions… and assumptions make an ass outta me and you.

          I have a red maga hat for posterity. I wanted to wear it while riding by bike to see the reactions i get with people but worried some people might throw shit at me… and thats fucked up I cant wear it with out fear of violence. And no im not maga…

            Mate symbols do exist. If I wear Nazi garb I can’t complain when minorities treat me suspiciously. That’s not an assumption, that’s me directly communicating my thoughts and feelings with them through my attire. Wearing message based clothing IS action. It’s telling people that you endorse the message, that you endorse the hate.

            By your own definition you are maga. You show support for the message. You normalize that message. You take actions to show your support and intimidate others. That’s all action my friend.

            Literally every time I hear the “actually if you read between the lines what Jesus meant is…” trope it turns out that the person saying it is exactly the sort of person that would wear a MAGA hat.

    To the christian mind abuse is love. That is the example the bible gives, where the perfectly loving god is a symbol of fear, wrath and eternal torment.

    Matthew 24:24-27

    For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you beforehand. So, if they say to you, ‘Look, he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out. If they say, ‘Look, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

    Nice detail that the magats can’t spell even when they’re speaking out loud.

    Jesus has probably already returned and the rapture has already started

    We just didn’t notice because we killed Jesus because he sounded too much like a communist and when the rapture started, no one noticed because no one was taken up because no one was worthy.

    Maybe the first one I’ve seen where I’m not certain if it’s AI or not. I’m leaning on it is, though.
