Trouble is it's coming from BOTH sides.

But Christians only want to see it from one side.
That is what is known as a false dilemma. You believe something and decide it must be true by saying something else is just as bad. You really do not know and are not able, to actually prove Christians or even Democrats see only one side.

In post # 99 you emphatically state Christians don’t see the lies of the right, then in post #101 you say they claim to be Christian. You’re contradicting yourself.
I promise you, you'll be better off ignoring this one.

I really would like to believe the election was a fraud. I do. But when republican judges, republican sycophants, republican audits, et al all say there's no proof, I gotta believe it wasn't.

Frankly I think the fraud was running Biden in the first place. I still think before his term is over he will back out and put Harris in office, which is what they really wanted. She couldn't win it on her own, so they put in a straw man as a stepping stone to her gaining power.
I do not believe they want Harris in office. Harris is impeachment insurance for Biden. ;) The joke used to be that Biden was impeachment insurance for Obama. What goes around I guess.

Harris is not capable of very much other than muddling up wherever she goes. Frankly I don't see the point in speculating as I don't think we have the info we would need on the whole White House shenanigans in order to be able to come to some sort of logical or believable conclusion to the whole fiasco.

One thing we do know though and that would be the deception and dangerous games being played by the government.

I think what JTB is saying is, NewTwitter is going to be THE PLACE for lies and confusion from both sides... Just look at how we argue among ourselves HERE... :unsure:
JTB is saying quite a few things including contradictory things and seems to be all over the place.

Twitter is a killing field for truth or rather was under Dorsey. Instead of shooting down a plane that has not even taken off yet, why can't people wait and see.

"Freedom consists of the distribution of power and despotism in its concentration..."
This doesn't exactly sound like Lord Acton....
Musk did not attribute that to Lord Acton. What Musk actually did attribute to Lord Acton was 'Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.'

Listen to the video again.

historian Lord Acton

The quote Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely comes from the nineteenth-century English historian Lord Acton (1834–1902) in a letter to Bishop Mandell Creighton about how historians should judge the abuse of power by past rulers, especially popes.

FOUND IT!
“Liberty consists in the division of power. Absolutism, in concentration of power.”
Elon kinda' butchered that lol...
He didn't butcher anything. Let's all focus on what we can find wrong and ignore the actual message, shall we? :rolleyes: :whistle:

I don't think freedom of speech is equal to freedom of lies, If the truth is covered up by cracking down on lies, it cannot be called freedom of speech.

The question is if Twitter is a platform or a publisher. If they are a publisher they have the right to have editorial review, but then they also are liable for every post made just as the NY Times is liable to anything they publish in their paper.

If on the other hand they are a platform they can have lines that cannot be crossed, just as a track has lines for the lanes or a basketball court has lines showing what is out of bounds. The lines need to be transparent to all and you can blow the whistle if someone fouls another person. If you are a platform you can referee, you cannot decide who can and cannot play.

What Twitter has done and the evidence is now coming out is that they created algorithms that allowed them to "turn up the volume" on posts they liked. They could have phony bots subscribing and liking and commenting which gave those posts much more prominence and made them appear much more popular. Not only so but they could turn down the volume on posts they didn't like. They could make it seem these posts had far fewer subscribers, fewer likes and fewer views. Since people have a financial interest in this you can call that robbery and no doubt if the evidence comes out there will be lawsuits (the sequel to the movie "There will be blood").

This explains the meltdown when he bought the company because all the employees knew what they were doing. They knew they were taking the weirdest 1% of the world and making them appear to be 20% and taking those who represent 65% of the world and making it appear they represent 35%. They knew they could influence elections, and push their corrupt agenda and now it will all be exposed.

Not much choice... but it's clearly not going to go well for Christians... I'll say again;
"NewTwitter is going to be THE PLACE for lies and confusion from both sides... Just look at how we argue among ourselves HERE..."

I think the best way is to let lies and truth exist at the same time, because no one can be as fair and just as God.Then people just have to make a choice what to believe.

Seems I got it straight the first time. Without notes as well. :giggle: :coffee:

Well, you can say it as many times as you care to. Free speech and all that you know. ;) As for the arguments here, many seem to be caused by people with a view on the Bible that does not line up with what the Bible actually says. As I read earlier today in another thread, people with viewpoints that are s t r a n g e and no one accepts what they say so they go to a forum and jump on a soapbox until they are shown the door. (not exact words but same idea)

Why would you compare this forum (there are many Christian forums out there and I have been on a few and they are all different) to Twitter? Twitter is actually lies and confusion right up to Musk buying the thing and that is with only one side contributing because the actual ability to express a different viewpoint has been hiding behind the Passenger Pigeon. I don't even use Twitter; and speaking of the forum again, we would not have 'arguments' if it was as censored as Twitter has been. (Light bulb hopefully goes on at this point?)

Petty regarding the x. You are obviously using freedom of expression to tell everyone you did not like what I stated even though it was true. See how that works? smh

That makes me want to ask if Trump is proclaiming himself to be Christ...no disrespect intended.

This entire is Musk the antichrist is without merit, thought or actual biblical knowledge. AKA a stab in the dark AKA shocking revelations of made up stuff.
