Elon Musk's thoughts on God. Pray for him to be saved:


I have seen reports that Jordan Peterson has now come to believe in God. Not sure how deep his understanding is yet, but I believe he has a mind that seeks truth and God will reward that.

So then vulgar and blasphemous speech should be allowed?

(BTW, if you had been paying attention, you would know I'm not a liberal.)

I didn't say you are a lib. I'm certain there are things he won't allow, rules, free speech doesn't mean anything goes. Blasphemous? Not so much, I don't expect secular people to understand what that means. That was the same under the last Twitter owner.

I understand your thinking sister, however that is exactly the thinking that got us in so much trouble in the 20th, and now 21st centuries., through socialism, and communism.

Wealth is a relative term. You and I are likely in the top 10% of wealthiest people in the world. Last time I checked, getting $32,000 (USD) yearly through work or Gov funding, or other income, puts us in that category.

So all those people below us, who maybe don't have refrigeration, sometime go without food, AC, Car, Smartphone, computer... etc... look at us as if WE are Elon Musk.

WE are all responsible for the gifts, treasures, and time God has given us.

I get EXTREMELY nervous for society when people start saying this one or that one has too much.
Exactly. A couple days ago my hubby, who loves steak, went to our local Wal-mart to buy one. It's so expensive I told him to get one for himself and I would eat something else. It was his vacation, we didn't go anywhere, so I told him to go get it and enjoy it. He told me he was standing in line and the guy in front of him said " Oh, humm looks like someone is having a bbq!!" Then the lady behind him said "Oh, where do you live? I'm going to follow you home"! Hubby said he felt like a rich person just because he bought a steak. And we are not. lol So there you go, to them they couldn't afford that. Maybe they have kids and can't splurge on a steak. No one has a right to say a person has "too much". That is a socialist ideal. If a person has worked and earned their money, it's not up to anyone to say they have too much.

That is exactly how it was presented by Nehemiah. 'Free speech means lies are allowed!'. Except he then starts to exempt speech HE doesn't like, namely vulgar and blasphemous speech. Why is freedom absolute, right up until it allows something YOU don't like?

This is what the law says "

First, the government may generally restrict the time, place, or manner of speech, if the restrictions are unrelated to what the speech says and leave people with enough alternative ways of expressing their views. Thus, for instance, the government may restrict the use of loudspeakers in residential areas at night, limit all demonstrations that block traffic, or ban all picketing of people’s homes.

Second, a few narrow categories of speech are not protected from government restrictions. The main such categories are incitement, defamation, fraud, obscenity, child pornography, fighting words, and threats.

Jordan Peterson has sounded very much Christian to me for a while now :)

OK, so tweets inciting insurrection, fraudulently claiming the election was stolen, defaming a sitting president for things he has no power over, et al are not protected and can be censored.

Is that not the very situation Elon is looking to circumvent?

(Oh I can't wait for this reply! ; ) )

Well you are enjoying free speech right now. Pretty sure Nehemiah did not write the constitution nor will does he configure algorithms for Twitter. He most likely does not have Musk's ear either.

Here is some info on free speech you might find interesting.

Excerpt from the above link:

The First Amendment often protects the profane word or phrase — but not always.

The First Amendment protects a great deal of offensive, obnoxious and repugnant speech. As Justice John Marshall Harlan wrote 40 years ago in Cohen v. California, “one man’s vulgarity is another’s lyric.” In that decision, the Court ruled that an individual had a First Amendment right to wear a jacket bearing the words “Fuck the Draft.”

So a general law that prohibits all profanity will run into serious First Amendment hurdles, as recognized this week by the suburban Chicago city of Park Ridge, Ill. Perhaps in the spirit of the Cohen ruling, the city rid its books of a law that made it illegal to use profanity on streets, alleys and other public places. The police chief of the suburb told the Associated Press that free-speech concerns formed part of the reason for erasing the law.

I've actually been wondering if he might end up being the Beast. It looks like he's trying to bring about peace...his name is popping up everywhere. Just a niggling thought at the back of my mind that he might look like a good guy but....
Dan 11:36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
Dan 11:37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
Dan 11:38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.

The last king, beast, New Age Christ will have no desire of women and Elon Musk has been married and has dated women.

I do not think the beast will care about being competitive in the things people compete with each other about because he probably would consider that beneath him.

He is so arrogant he probably does not care of competing in politics, business, military, but will impress the world by establishing peace in the Middle East and then working from that point on as a great man of peace.

Also it would not seem like he would be rich for he would have to be a people's person and has to get the trust of the world to follow him as he pushes the agenda of the new age movement to cause the world to rebel against a personal God and Jesus is Lord and Savior which he will believe in the God of forces and people are still evolving to be spiritual which he will convince the world that it happened to him and he will share that power with all people who follow him.

Yes. This could mean he will be a homosexual.

He likely will mimic Jesus in every way he can.

Jesus' ministry started when He was 28 or 29, lasting interestingly enough about 3.5 yrs.

So we can expect the antichrist make his noticeable mark in his late 20s.

He will almost certainly be jewish, and possibly unite the Abrahamic peoples.

Just to name a few of the mimics.

No actually it's the opposite. More free speech is always the answer, not censorship.
I agree, but I will ask that you try to think politically... divisively. The liberals have claimed all forms of media as their own, including the web. They are decidedly anti-Christian and have proven themselves to be adversarial. In their domain, we are already outnumbered. They are not only winning the battle for the minds of the masses, but the Bible promises that "they will be given over to seducing spirits" and believe there own delusions. In which case, Elon Musk has lost nothing; He will still be the bastion of "free speech".

Shout loud and proud from the rooftops @kaylagrl ! As long as you still can......

Trump would do better to go back to Twitter. "Truth Social" is such a lame name, so is "Frank Social".

I disagree... There needs to be a place that is "identified" as "Conservative Constitutional Christian" friendly. I believe that's what Trump's true goal is... at least I want to believe it.

Musk has made clear he is for free speech. No one knows beyond that what he will do until he does it. I don't see how he's trying to circumvent anything. He wants free speech on Twitter, simple as that.

I do not believe the antichrist will be homosexual but means that his desire is to only learn the ways of the occult and to rule the world and will not be involved in relationships with women or any agenda contrary to that but I am not sure.

The antichrist will be of the occult and the new age movement and they believe in the power of numbers, and the adding, timing, and grouping of numbers which they believe will give them more power through nature and the number 6 is the soul of man so the antichrist assigned himself the number 666, a triple 6 which he believes will give him more power through nature and be above all people.

Daniel 7 speaks of 4 kingdoms and Babylon, Medo-Persia, and Greece will never have physical dominion again but the Roman Empire does not lose their dominion until Jesus puts the world down and 10 horns come from the 4th beast the Roman Empire which is the world split in to 10 sections with a leader in each section and the antichrist comes from the 10 horns so the antichrist is from the Roman Empire or Caucasian race which the new age movement is a Caucasian led plan.

He will not claim to be Jesus and will not put himself on an equal level as Jesus but he will exalt himself above all that is called God or worshipped and he believes Jesus evolved to become an ascended master.

The false prophet will do miracles in the sight of people to convince them that the New Age Christ did evolve through nature and shared this power with the false prophet.

The antichrist will establish peace in the Middle East and it will pave the way for all Jews to go to Israel for the Gentile nations will cause it to happen and the antichrist wants them all back on their land but God means it for their good.

There are many churches that embrace homosexuality...
The antichrist will be of the occult
If not for THE WORD, the antichrist would even deceive the most righteous. Occultists couldn't do that...
He will not claim to be Jesus and will not put himself on an equal level as Jesus
In order for him to fool the true church and Israel, he must somehow identify with God and Christ...
The false prophet will do miracles in the sight of people to convince them that the New Age Christ did evolve through nature and shared this power with the false prophet.
That would make "nature" god...
The antichrist will establish peace in the Middle East and it will pave the way for all Jews to go to Israel for the Gentile nations will cause it to happen and the antichrist wants them all back on their land but God means it for their good.
May 14 1948, Israel gathered it's people and became a nation again as prophecy foretold...

Where are you getting this stuff from?
