Yesterday I was up at my garden pulling cabbage weeds out and I was listening to a radio and the preacher I was listening to said something that distressed me, a well known "GOOD" preacher at this.

You would've thought the guy was into CNN, MSNBC, Facebook etc. Please get out of those if you know who you are. Last week I started a boycott and closed my Amazon account because if the blackmailing of other companies, etc.

One thing, I heard him break the first rule of being a Christian but I also feel as if this good preacher was misled by the medias, we watch either OAN or Newsmax in my house. He blamed the former president for the BLM/Antifa riot in DC when it's not at all Trump's fault.

And I'm finding instances where other good Jesus lovers are straying the same path. I know I can't change another person's personal political views but I find it a terrible road considering what is on the list next for our God. But I know it's his will not ours.

the first rule of being a Christian

To put your faith in Christ is the first rule of being Christian.

Those who believe in Him read and listen to His words, and keep them.

Welcome. OAN or Newsmax to Christians is like a seed that grows in thistles causing it to wither and die. Be blessed.

This is a Poe, right?

If not, OAN and Newsmax are lying to you. Trump stoked the crowd with lies about the election and it was his supporters who stormed the capitol.

And watching only OAN and Newsmax in your household. Don't forget that part.

But that's two rules.

They both kind of fall under the general heading of being a Trump loyalist who excuses or rationalizes everything he says and does though, can't it? So maybe in that sense it counts as just one thing.

Oh, the insurrection at the capital was BLM/Antifa today?

Odd, all these years Christians have been telling me the first rule was something about having faith in/loving God.
Oh, the insurrection at the capital was BLM/Antifa today?

We should don't place blame on anyone until we know the whole truth and we are rarely given it to us by the news; We should have faith in God first and not in Lawrence O'Donnell etc.

It has been known that there have been planned attacks by Antifa long before the pro Trump rally in Washington, and as far as I've been made aware there is little attention payed to this by the media because they have a known agenda.

But if we Condemn Trump based on just on what the media says, we may have well have been sold out by the antichrist. It's not just Insane but also complacent.

Rise up in sedition to stop the constitutional process and get thrown under the bus as antifa once it becomes apparent how poorly it went over. It's almost enough to make me feel bad for the suckers. No, wait, it's not even close to enough. It is hilarious though.

But if we Condemn Trump based on just on what the media says...

HIs own words are more than sufficient.

Why do so many people in your camp think we only get our ideas from the media? Is that how you guys operate? Over here, we don't need Rachel Maddow to tell us what to think. We've all watched his speech and/or read the transcript. We can all see the myriad MAGA hats and Trump flags in the crowd. It was a giant pro-Trump rally, built on his lies about the allegedly stolen election.
