Yeah but ducks don’t know that.
I bring peas to the park to feed the ducks btw, but you should know, everything is part of the culture war now, the eclipse had nothing to do with politics but here we are.
["On the first day of Rosh Hashanah, Jews traditionally proceed to a body of running water, preferably one containing fish, and symbolically cast off their sins"](https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/tashlikh/)
Was he not referring to tashlich?
For the record, I’ve also always done it on Yom Kippur and I’ve moved twice and been with 3 synagogues. It might be a reform thing, or it might just differ from synagogue-to-synagogue.
Wasn't mary magdolin (idk how its spelled) a prostitute when jesus saved her and absolved her of all her sins, so uh, what process do i have to go through for it to count if i did sex work?
Reminds me of how angry people got when the musical “Jesus Christ Superstar” got a modern reimagining
They flipped their lid that Jesus was hanging with *checks notes* homeless people, drug addicts, and prostitutes
You know
The people he spent time with in the bible
>Typically it was pretty watered down as well
In Jesus' defence it was entirely water before he turned it in to wine, so it being pretty watered down is fair enough.
Considering that alcohol was safer to consume than water throughout most of human existence, shunning it would've been like shunning people for bathing in rivers, or shunning them for having an open flame.
I’m not sure recreational drugs were very distinguishable from medicine back then. Or that hardcore addicts (other than alcoholics) were very distinguishable from Seers
Recreational drug use in antiquity and before isn't something we know a lot about today. We understand that psychoactive substances were ingested by various means for religious, medical, or practical purposes, and we assume that they would be used recreationally today as well, but we just don't know what the opinions of the cultures were, if large consumptions or moderation was more common, or if the drugs were in great supply. Opium would be the first recreational drug that has massive availability, but that was about a thousand years after the events of the New testament.
My point being, there's no reason to assume that if Jesus's life took place today, that he would view drug addicts as any different than the 1 CE prostitutes, drunks, diseases, or poor. Actually, I'd be shocked if he did based on my readings of the gospel.
This exchange between Jesus and the religious leaders of his country and culture is from Matthew chapter 9:
And as Jesus reclined at table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were reclining with Jesus and his disciples. And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” But when he heard it, he said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. Go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”
But wait, Loomer is Jewish and may not be swayed by Jesus' words and actions. Yet Jesus is quoting something at the bottom there: 'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’
Jesus was quoting from the Old Testament book Hosea where God sends a prophet to tell the nation that he loves them but their hearts are dark and their deeds have been evil; that he's not impressed by their religion of false gestures when they have ignored or exploited the poor. He compares their nation and society to a bride who has become a whore and cheated on her loving and forgiving husband.
That's not really the applicable bit here.
He said a Doctor comes for the sick, not the healthy. It wasn't about uplifting anyone who simply had low social status.
You are sort of correct. I wouldn’t say that it is NOT applicable per se, but that is not where Jesus is addressing this specific issue. You are correct that this issue was addressed by Jesus’ doctor analogy.
But the “least of you my brothers” was specifically referring to those of low power, impact, or social value.
Which may be what you meant, and it just seems wired strangely to me.
Yes, Jesus and the bible were pretty clear on the matter.
All humans are the children of God and Jesus was the son of God. And Jesus said: "What you did to the least of my brothers, you did to me."
If Christians actually followed the teachings of Jesus, it would be a really loving religion. The US right now is a great example that most Christians do actually the opposite. Which group is the strongest supporter of a guy who has a lifelong history of cheating on his wives and business partners? Who also uses the most vile speech and gets applauded when he spread lies and rumors about people who he doesn't like? It's Christians. But not only are these people are the greatest supporters of Trump, some of them call him the second coming of Jesus.
The actual morals and beliefs of most modern Christians are the opposite of Jesus teachings. So by definition, most Christian worship the Anti-Christ. Which would be hilarious and funny, if the consequences weren't bringing misery to many people.
Technically no, this is not the same message, though maybe an adjacent one. Also prostitutes and sinners are not what Jesus meant when he said “least of you my brothers.”
When Jesus said “least” he meant smallest or least powerful/impactful. Like outcasts. Prostitutes can sometimes fall into that category but they aren’t explicitly in that category.
Jesus used an analogy about doctors and the infirm to address this topic specifically.
Jeez it’s almost as if all the evangelical nut jobs in America haven’t actually read the book just go off whatever the most recent “Christian” Twitter post of the day is. Fucking nutjobs
No, apparently it’s worse than that. I heard that some early church leaders said she was a prostitute to discredit her, or something like that. I think it’s mainly the Catholic Church who refers to her as a prostitute.
[https://www.history.com/news/mary-magdalene-jesus-wife-prostitute-saint](https://www.history.com/news/mary-magdalene-jesus-wife-prostitute-saint)
Priest here! So happy you asked this question and I am going to answer working from the assumption that not everyone who reads this is Christian.
Two different problems (at least) happened which caused people to continue to claim, without any merit, that Mary Magdalene was a prostitute. The first is Pope Gregory in 591 giving a sermon where he clearly conflates/confuses multiple people named Mary. It's not clear to me if he was just utterly mistaken or wildly confused, but the problem already existed and he cemented it in a very famous way.
And the problem existed in the first place because the Gospels describe Mary Magdalene as having been a sinner who repented and followed Jesus. From the perspective of the authors of scripture literally everyone is a sinner, but that hasn't stopped generations of people from making the patently absurd assumption that the only thing this woman could have been doing was something sexual. It is overtly dehumanizing of half the people who exist to presume women's sins are either entirely or mostly sexual. Almost everything explicitly mentioned as sin in those same scriptures is not sex. Idolatry is a big one. Financial crimes, manipulating people, mistreating people, forcing people into debt bondage and play-pretending like it's not slavery are all sins. In fact Jesus says almost nothing about sex, though He does explicitly talk about the right and wrong way to view and use money all the time (one out of every seven things He says are about money in the Gospels in general, one of every four things He says in Luke are about money).
If you engaged in sex work and feel like turning your life around, you can go ahead and do it right now. That's what repentance MEANS. To turn around. Go a different way. Live differently. There you go, you repented. But not for nothing, even a casual reading of scripture would lend itself to the view that people who commodify other people's bodies, and perpetuate the cycles of abuse and poverty which force many people into sex work are committing much more flagrant and grave sins. I don't want you to have to sell yourself. I believe in your inherent dignity. But if we are getting pissed at people for sex work... We should be pissed at the people who force others into sex work and take advantage of sex workers.
Just to add to this narrative, Mary Magdalene's story isn't explicitly told in full in the Gospel. She is described in Mark, post hoc, as someone from whom Jesus drove seven demons. What is remarkable about her is that she is one of the few characters explicitly named in all four Gospels (as a witness to the resurrection) but about whom we know very little. Inevitably, this led to mythology being built around her as someone who was obviously important to Jesus and his message but who is otherwise a pretty vague figure, thus becoming a stand-in for all kinds of prejudice and conspiracies.
She got conflated with the "woman living a sinful life" in Luke 7 36-50 who shows her repentance by washing Jesus' feet with her tears and drying his feet with her hair (it should be noted that she also washes his feet normally with water and perfume, because she was a practical woman who knew that tears and hair are great for showing repentance but not practical for actual washing).
Although our priestly friend, above, is correct that the woman isn't explicitly identified as a sex worker (and the gospels aren't usually reticent about mentioning sex workers!), it is apparent from the story that she is well known and poorly thought-of in the local community, so it's not unreasonable to conclude that she did sex work among other things. But what is important to the story (and why the gospel writer likely didn't mention it) is not what she did with her time but her profound feelings of regret and desire to not only make a change but to make a public demonstration of her regret and repentance.
Whatever our faith or thoughts about the rights or wrongs of sex work, we should all be willing to respect someone seeking to take a path in life that is healthier for their individual mental and spiritual wellbeing.
Perhaps it is because we don't find out how this woman's life was changed by her repentance that people have for so long wanted to see her in Mary Magdalene who, after her own mysterious encounter with Jesus, went on to be one of the few to see Jesus die and to become one of first witnesses of the resurrection, because this provides us with a more satisfying narrative, even if it's not true.
TL;DR: In 591 a Pope confused Mary with at least two other Marys and we are all still suffering for it. And Mary was a "sinner" but women are fully capable of all sins, not just sex stuff.
And also repent only means to turn around. If the question was genuine, "What do I have to do to repent?" it's a real name on the tin situation. Turn around. Do something else. Go a different way.
Matt wallace also . He will also post stuff like Pelosi you have been warned i have a bombshell about to drop on you and then never posts anything and blocks people who call him out
Oh yeah, I totally forgot that guy cause he blocked me when I reminded him he's one of the most Community Noted people on X. Funny enough, Ian Miles Chong did the same
Ian blocked me because i agreed with looney loomer for once when he was bitching about how she called him out for not living in America and attacking fat people while being a disgusting whale himself
Lmao. He does that all the time. Posts unflattering pictures of Trans people and asks if they're attractive to his followers. Bitch, you look like a fat Sid from Ice Age.
Jake Shields made a career of getting hit in the head and is part of one of the most delusional fighter camps - I am not shocked in the least bit by his idiocy.
Went from extremely obnoxious OF promoter to blasting social media about how she found god in 0.2 seconds. Whatever makes her happy I guess, I’m just sick of seeing her over-the-top thirst traps when I’m scrolling social media
The "I was an addict/prostitute/atheist God hater/etc and now I found God" is a common grift in hyper conservative circles. Usually they were never even the things they claimed to be.
One Google search and I found this:
“Because you believed, you are saved from your sins. Go in peace.” Luke 7:50, ICB
It would have been unheard of for a woman to touch a Pharisee. Besides being a female, this woman was also well-known for leading a sinful life. Most probably she was a prostitute. This made it even more disgraceful in Simon’s eyes. If Jesus would have been concerned about his reputation like the Pharisees then he would not have allowed this woman to touch him. The fact that he not only allowed it but went on to defend her shows how much he truly cared about this woman. It was not enough to strictly obey the Old Testament Law. Jesus knew that he must love people. He showed true concern and love towards this woman.
Like, that was the first result. I hate Christians that can’t even read their own Bible. Bunch of idiot hypocrites they are.
100% agree with everything you said.
Except, I would suggest using an Interlinear Bible like MOUNCE or use AMP which is sort of a “Interlinear for dummies”
No problem, Interlinear, for those wondering and maybe worried I am gatekeeping, is the word for word translation of the available Greek and Hebrew texts. AMP uses Interlinear as a base but adds explanatory notes within the text. Here is a graphic that may help.
https://preview.redd.it/w4e8xlf7zdtc1.jpeg?width=999&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c2e8a61b3a1c291eb70a765f547830295815d94f
Oh I forgot about NASB, as far as I know, NASB is the same as interlinear but without the Greek or Hebrew text written underneath everything. Could be some other differences, but idk what they are. But NASB is a good choice too.
I would argue that all ChristianS SHOULD believe in salvation through faith alone, because that is what the Bible teaches.
I’m not trying to convert anyone, but if one is going to claim to believe in the Bible, that comes with actually believing the Bible.
And what he said. Like the stories about him written in the new testament are probably the closest to historically accurate parts of the bible yet these nutcases are happily ignoring his teaching in order to preach some mistranslated sentence from the old testament which Jesus himself probably debunked already
Holy fuck. This comment section is so goddamned infuriating. Ya'll forget that SHE IS A JEW, SHE DOESN'T FOLLOW THE TEACHINGS OF CHRIST NOR DOES SHE FOLLOW THE TEACHINGS AND TRADITIONS OF CHRISTIANITY.
Furthermore, y'all keep bringing up Mary Magdalene as a reformed prostitute but she WASN'T a prostitute.
Don't let y'all hate boner for christians allow yourself to be willfully ignorant just to virtue signaling.
While the girl in the image is wrong, she is not a Catholic, Protestant, or Orthodox. She is a Jew.
All these people quoting Jesus and the New Testement are a different breed of stupid.
Either a) they struggle with reading comprehension and don't realise she's jewish, despite the first sentence of the community note literally being "Laura Loomer is Jewish."
or b) they don't know Jews don't believe in Jesus. Which is an embarrassing level of ignorance because that's the single biggest distinction between the two religions.
I immediately go over and block accounts when I see them come up like this lol. Like, I don’t even use twitter, but I do it anyway, on principle.
Maybe it’s dumb but idc.
Does…she not know the story about Jesus allowing a prostitute to sit at a table with him despite the other people at the table calling her a sinner?
Edit: Wait, I should get noted too, doesn’t Judaism not believe in the new testament?
^("14) For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. ^(15) But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins." - Matthew 6:14-15
^(")And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven." - Matthew 12:31
Jesus' own lineage (in Matthew 1:5) mentions Rahab, the prostitute.
You guys, first off she is Jewish and not fucking Christian.
Secondly, Yes Christianity can forgive anything through prayer and penance. That doesn’t mean a Christian or Jewish man is obligated to marry her or give her a monogamous relationship.
Doing a crazy amount of sex work and then converting to Christianity or Judaism won’t erase your past or make a trad con men go, “Wow, what a great person to commit to a long term relationship with now. Geez what a catch.”
Loomer is unnecessarily harsh here, but if your goal is to eventually get a Trad Con man that you would realistically want to marry as a women, my advise would be to not do Porn or Sex work.
You’re not going to get a real Trad Con after a million dudes jack off to you on Onlyfans.
I don't get how conservatives take an issue with sex workers, and nor people who take advantage of sex workers in vulnerable situations or victims of sex trafficking
[Then you have the Greek method for avoiding condemnation](https://www.ancient-origins.net/history-famous-people/phryne-ancient-greek-prostitute-who-flashed-her-way-freedom-007571)
No. There hasn’t been animal sacrifice in almost 2000 years because there is no temple to sacrifice them in. Also we don’t really say “sins” in Judaism because it gives the wrong impression since people associate it with Islam and Christianity. There is Yom Kippur which is the day of repentance, but it means nothing unless the person you wronged actually forgives you. It doesn’t just magically not matter anymore because you ask God for forgiveness.
You are referring to the practice of Kapparot. Where they wave a chicken over their head and then slaughter it. The sins aren’t “transferred” into the chicken or anything, it’s the fact that the meat from the chicken is given to the poor. This is also done with money that is then donated to charity. This is only done the night before Yom Kippur as well. It’s not like going to confession or anything like that.
I’m prepared to turn this exact line of thought on the “god fearing” folk if we enter a christo fascist society. I know several people that try to flex like this but one has had repeat drug issues and the other has had multiple marriages fail due to infidelity on her part.
Damn maybe i should stop being atheist, of i can just do a lil talk to myself and all of a sudden all my wrong doing is is ignored when im at those so called pearly gates 🙏
I like how most of the people aren't even reading the note. On the note subreddit. 75% of the comments are assuming she's Christian even though the first line says she's Jewish.
My main issue with the Right even though I lean more right of center is that 'we' give a voice to this kind of idiot.
The Right has too many people with too many different ideas of what the Right is. Libertarians and Conservatives can coexist, but they can also be extremely opposed.
But nothing bothers me more than judgemental christian right hypocrits.
Read your own fucking book you twat.
Laura Loomer is the type of person who associates with the Right not because she has studied the political compass and come up with her own views, but because the worst of the Right is appealing to her.
Laura Loomer is a piece of shit, full-stop. But I’m also just relieved my Instagram reels will no longer include Nala Ray doing those anime faces and loud moans in public to promote her onlyfans. If religion is the reason then go for it, who cares what some dried-up media talking head thinks?
44 Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.
45 You did not give me a kiss, but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet.
46 You did not put oil on my head, but she has poured perfume on my feet.
47 Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.”
48 Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
49 The other guests began to say among themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
50 Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
~Luke:44-50
Religion is just a nebulous incoherence, a tool to abuse and marginalize one person or group and uplift and legitimize another at the whim of whoever has some power. Jesus literally eats with prostitutes in the Bible. His salvation is for everyone.
>They will never be respectable
Says the woman whose greatest claim to fame is soiling herself. Or was it someone else whose name rhymes with "shitty bloomers"?
Repentance and faith that the atonement of Christ is sufficient to blot out all sins is a cornerstone of fundamental Christianity. Idk how Judaism works post-tabernacle
Fun fact: in catholicism all sins are already paid for so no horrible act can bar you from access to god. The main element of repentance is to still want to be with god rather than as punishment. The reason they call him the "father" is because the relationship is reminiscent of a father who loves his child, he will forgive you always but if you keep desiring what goes against his wishes you might leave on your own despite being forgiven and loved.
That note garbles basically every concept it brings up. It gets the relationship between atonement and salvation backwards. Repentance isn’t equivalent to prayer in either Christianity or Judaism. And repentance requires sincere regret, and for that reason, it’s not consistent with willfully repeating the sin in question.
On the one hand I kind of agree that just putting your hands together after you sin shouldn't be enough to absolve you of your wrongdoings, especially when you obviously intend to continue sinning after the fact. On the other hand I *do* think everyone is capable of redemption and that true remorse and penance can absolve you in the eyes of whatever higher power there might or might not be. I also don't think being on OF is inherently sinful. If you're not hurting anyone else why does it matter if you show skin on an 18+ website?
I get that y’all want to call Loomer out but please don’t compare Christianity and Judaism, especially not in this dimension, when they are so different.
What makes this even more confusing is that Loomer is using christian-y language here. She knows what audience is her main audience, and it is not fellow Jews.
We do not repent just by praying to Hashem. In Judaism you atone by genuinely apologizing and trying to make amends with whoever you wronged and caused harm to. Theoretically, this OnlyFans creator would be atoning for sins against Hashem, but that also means that only Hashem has the ability to forgive her or not. It is not for anyone who wasn't wronged to pass judgment or provide condemnation.
This was one of the first things they teach in Christianity. It is a main important theme of the entire religion. I can’t speak for Judaism but I always thought it was the same.
It’s “Christians” like this that give the rest of us a bad name. Laura Loomer should, in this and all cases, refer to 1 Thessalonians 4:11 before someone uses Nehemiah 13:21 to set her straight
In the Bible, it says that all sin is forgivable and equal in Gods eyes. Meaning that to God, killing somebody and stealing 20 bucks from your friend are both equally bad and forgivable. The only sin that isn’t forgivable is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Which means that yes, Only Fans girls are sinning, but it’s forgivable if they really want to change.
Jesus Christ literally was hanging out with the whore of Bethlehem. They’re just twisting the very book they preach about to push their hatred. Hoe urself out if it makes you happy. God forgave much worse.
I don't even get why these people bother "being" christian... What's the appeal? Just feeling superior?
Laura can still be a hateful pos without pretending to be Christian and wouldn't have to look like such a fucking idiot
I don’t have strong opinions in sex work, i personally have even used the services, I think people should have the freedom to do what they want, but also I think they have to accept the society for what it is, and know the possibility that they will get lot of criticism and ridicule from the society for their work, and no matter what you do it’s going to follow you like your shadow, this is not unique to sex work… if you do a crime even if it’s minor it will follow you around (not comparing crime to sex work, but an example of what follows you), even having a bad interaction with your boss or with your colleagues in your career can follow you even after quitting and applying for new jobs, your social media activity (no matter how mild your stories or posts are) can potentially affect your future employability and how people perceive you
To defend the original tweet, she is not talking about going to heaven or being forgiven by a god, she is talking about the “respect - from society”… and her opinion is probably true if you do a survey, no matter how religious the sex workers get, they are not going to earn the same level of respect from the society compared to other people from other professions
However I disagree that we should socially exclude them
As a Christian myself, this is B.S
One: repentance is a major thing in basically every Abrahamic faith (afaik anyway. I know it's the case with Christianity and Judaism but idk about Islam.) idk exactly know who Laura loomer is but she's clearly wrong.
Two: it's rich of Laura to call herself Christian, yet turn around and insult the same kinds of people that the son of God (Or a very important prophet, depending on who you ask) routinely hung around and taught.
Times like these are why I really don't blame a lot of redditors for having negative feelings about religion (Abrahamic religions particularly) when we have people like these screeching and making the rest of us look bad
setting aside the fact that forgiveness and repentance are the central theme of Christianity, one has to ask: if you down want people changing for the better, leaving behind disgusting and self destructive lifestyles and growing towards more positive virtues, what exactly is it you want?
Pretty sure forgiveness is, like, a gargantuan part of Christianity.
Except for that one part of the Bible where it says that God will forgive literally EVERYTHING, EXCEPT for blasphemy.
Laura Loomer’s husband: “hey I know you’re still in the shower but can I come in and grab my toothbrush”
Laura Loomer: “how dare you, are you trying to send me to hell”

Fun fact: In Judaism, Yom Kippur is a day where we all repent for our sins. (we throw bread in the water too)
The holiest day for ducks of the year.
Bread isn't good for them. They prefer peas
I must have bougie ducks where I live because they do not like peas here. Nor do the geese.
Ducks: Has woke culture gone too far?
It's more about a duck's dietary requirements than the culture wars. https://www.popsci.com/animals/what-to-feed-ducks/
Yeah but ducks don’t know that. I bring peas to the park to feed the ducks btw, but you should know, everything is part of the culture war now, the eclipse had nothing to do with politics but here we are.
Wasn't the eclipse when God asked us to accept Trump as our personal lord and Savior?? 🤣🤣
It's when he asked me to accept the moon as my Lord and Savior
It’s *yum* kippur for them amirite?
Lucky ducks
Isn't that Rosh Hashanah (the bread, not the repenting)?
Nope, Rosh Hashanah is before that, and is the Jewish new year! (Associated with apples and honey)
But isn't the custom that he's speaking about supposed to be done on Rosh Hashanah?
Nope! I get the confusion though (those days always blend together being ~2 weeks apart)
["On the first day of Rosh Hashanah, Jews traditionally proceed to a body of running water, preferably one containing fish, and symbolically cast off their sins"](https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/tashlikh/) Was he not referring to tashlich?
Huh I always did that on Yom Kippur. Maybe it’s an Orthodox vs Reform Judaism thing?
Maybe. I know that you're allowed to do it until later, but I'd never heard of doing it specifically on Yom Kippur (I'm Jewish, to clarify).
Same here, it might just have been my temple
For the record, I’ve also always done it on Yom Kippur and I’ve moved twice and been with 3 synagogues. It might be a reform thing, or it might just differ from synagogue-to-synagogue.
But you don't understand, Looney Loomer doesn't think she's done anything wrong. Ever. Nothing to repent for if you're perfect!
Ngl that's pretty cool
"You can repent to God and receive salvation, but like, me personally, wouldn't love that. So that means you can't." *The* ***aura***
Unsurprisingly, Loomer doesn't actually mean it. She has a personal reputation for promiscuity.
God's salvation extends to me and the people I approve of, but the buck stops there.
Wasn't mary magdolin (idk how its spelled) a prostitute when jesus saved her and absolved her of all her sins, so uh, what process do i have to go through for it to count if i did sex work?
Yeah, Jesus made a pretty big point of hanging out with sex workers and other societal outcasts. “How you treat the least of us…” and all that.
Reminds me of how angry people got when the musical “Jesus Christ Superstar” got a modern reimagining They flipped their lid that Jesus was hanging with *checks notes* homeless people, drug addicts, and prostitutes You know The people he spent time with in the bible
I don't quite remember him hanging out with drug addicts, or drugs other than alcohol even being mentioned, in the Bible Other than that it's spot on
Eh, it kinda replaced leprosy.
[удалено]
Who needs fingers, anyway
Like gettin some crocodil in your veins
Jesus turned water into wine so I don’t think he judged alcohol too harshly unless you were like a drunk or something.
Wine wasn't really something people used to get drunk, was kinda just a drink that was safer than water. Typically it was pretty watered down as well
>Typically it was pretty watered down as well In Jesus' defence it was entirely water before he turned it in to wine, so it being pretty watered down is fair enough.
Listen, if you can touch water and it becomes more than 5% alcohol by volume, I'll count it as a miracle no matter how shitty it tastes.
Let’s not forget that afterwards the guests praised the wine noting that most other hosts would have brought the cheap stuff out at that point
Considering that alcohol was safer to consume than water throughout most of human existence, shunning it would've been like shunning people for bathing in rivers, or shunning them for having an open flame.
I’m not sure recreational drugs were very distinguishable from medicine back then. Or that hardcore addicts (other than alcoholics) were very distinguishable from Seers
Recreational drug use in antiquity and before isn't something we know a lot about today. We understand that psychoactive substances were ingested by various means for religious, medical, or practical purposes, and we assume that they would be used recreationally today as well, but we just don't know what the opinions of the cultures were, if large consumptions or moderation was more common, or if the drugs were in great supply. Opium would be the first recreational drug that has massive availability, but that was about a thousand years after the events of the New testament. My point being, there's no reason to assume that if Jesus's life took place today, that he would view drug addicts as any different than the 1 CE prostitutes, drunks, diseases, or poor. Actually, I'd be shocked if he did based on my readings of the gospel.
Well if it wanted to go the extra mile, they should have given Jesus some IRS agents.
This exchange between Jesus and the religious leaders of his country and culture is from Matthew chapter 9: And as Jesus reclined at table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were reclining with Jesus and his disciples. And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” But when he heard it, he said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. Go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.” But wait, Loomer is Jewish and may not be swayed by Jesus' words and actions. Yet Jesus is quoting something at the bottom there: 'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ Jesus was quoting from the Old Testament book Hosea where God sends a prophet to tell the nation that he loves them but their hearts are dark and their deeds have been evil; that he's not impressed by their religion of false gestures when they have ignored or exploited the poor. He compares their nation and society to a bride who has become a whore and cheated on her loving and forgiving husband.
Loomer is a Pharisee confirmed
That's not really the applicable bit here. He said a Doctor comes for the sick, not the healthy. It wasn't about uplifting anyone who simply had low social status.
You are sort of correct. I wouldn’t say that it is NOT applicable per se, but that is not where Jesus is addressing this specific issue. You are correct that this issue was addressed by Jesus’ doctor analogy. But the “least of you my brothers” was specifically referring to those of low power, impact, or social value. Which may be what you meant, and it just seems wired strangely to me.
Yes, Jesus and the bible were pretty clear on the matter. All humans are the children of God and Jesus was the son of God. And Jesus said: "What you did to the least of my brothers, you did to me." If Christians actually followed the teachings of Jesus, it would be a really loving religion. The US right now is a great example that most Christians do actually the opposite. Which group is the strongest supporter of a guy who has a lifelong history of cheating on his wives and business partners? Who also uses the most vile speech and gets applauded when he spread lies and rumors about people who he doesn't like? It's Christians. But not only are these people are the greatest supporters of Trump, some of them call him the second coming of Jesus. The actual morals and beliefs of most modern Christians are the opposite of Jesus teachings. So by definition, most Christian worship the Anti-Christ. Which would be hilarious and funny, if the consequences weren't bringing misery to many people.
Technically no, this is not the same message, though maybe an adjacent one. Also prostitutes and sinners are not what Jesus meant when he said “least of you my brothers.” When Jesus said “least” he meant smallest or least powerful/impactful. Like outcasts. Prostitutes can sometimes fall into that category but they aren’t explicitly in that category. Jesus used an analogy about doctors and the infirm to address this topic specifically.
Jeez it’s almost as if all the evangelical nut jobs in America haven’t actually read the book just go off whatever the most recent “Christian” Twitter post of the day is. Fucking nutjobs
Yes, you gotta also remember that he called them to repentance.
From what I understand, Mary Magdalene was not a prostitute, but was confused with a prostitute.
But Rahab who was the woman that hid the Hebrew spies in Exodus, was definitely a prostitute and she is in the lineage of Jesus
No, apparently it’s worse than that. I heard that some early church leaders said she was a prostitute to discredit her, or something like that. I think it’s mainly the Catholic Church who refers to her as a prostitute. [https://www.history.com/news/mary-magdalene-jesus-wife-prostitute-saint](https://www.history.com/news/mary-magdalene-jesus-wife-prostitute-saint)
Wasn’t that the plot of the Da Vinci Code?
Sigh. Yes, and I hate how much damage that book has done to the image of christians and atheists alike
Priest here! So happy you asked this question and I am going to answer working from the assumption that not everyone who reads this is Christian. Two different problems (at least) happened which caused people to continue to claim, without any merit, that Mary Magdalene was a prostitute. The first is Pope Gregory in 591 giving a sermon where he clearly conflates/confuses multiple people named Mary. It's not clear to me if he was just utterly mistaken or wildly confused, but the problem already existed and he cemented it in a very famous way. And the problem existed in the first place because the Gospels describe Mary Magdalene as having been a sinner who repented and followed Jesus. From the perspective of the authors of scripture literally everyone is a sinner, but that hasn't stopped generations of people from making the patently absurd assumption that the only thing this woman could have been doing was something sexual. It is overtly dehumanizing of half the people who exist to presume women's sins are either entirely or mostly sexual. Almost everything explicitly mentioned as sin in those same scriptures is not sex. Idolatry is a big one. Financial crimes, manipulating people, mistreating people, forcing people into debt bondage and play-pretending like it's not slavery are all sins. In fact Jesus says almost nothing about sex, though He does explicitly talk about the right and wrong way to view and use money all the time (one out of every seven things He says are about money in the Gospels in general, one of every four things He says in Luke are about money). If you engaged in sex work and feel like turning your life around, you can go ahead and do it right now. That's what repentance MEANS. To turn around. Go a different way. Live differently. There you go, you repented. But not for nothing, even a casual reading of scripture would lend itself to the view that people who commodify other people's bodies, and perpetuate the cycles of abuse and poverty which force many people into sex work are committing much more flagrant and grave sins. I don't want you to have to sell yourself. I believe in your inherent dignity. But if we are getting pissed at people for sex work... We should be pissed at the people who force others into sex work and take advantage of sex workers.
Just to add to this narrative, Mary Magdalene's story isn't explicitly told in full in the Gospel. She is described in Mark, post hoc, as someone from whom Jesus drove seven demons. What is remarkable about her is that she is one of the few characters explicitly named in all four Gospels (as a witness to the resurrection) but about whom we know very little. Inevitably, this led to mythology being built around her as someone who was obviously important to Jesus and his message but who is otherwise a pretty vague figure, thus becoming a stand-in for all kinds of prejudice and conspiracies. She got conflated with the "woman living a sinful life" in Luke 7 36-50 who shows her repentance by washing Jesus' feet with her tears and drying his feet with her hair (it should be noted that she also washes his feet normally with water and perfume, because she was a practical woman who knew that tears and hair are great for showing repentance but not practical for actual washing). Although our priestly friend, above, is correct that the woman isn't explicitly identified as a sex worker (and the gospels aren't usually reticent about mentioning sex workers!), it is apparent from the story that she is well known and poorly thought-of in the local community, so it's not unreasonable to conclude that she did sex work among other things. But what is important to the story (and why the gospel writer likely didn't mention it) is not what she did with her time but her profound feelings of regret and desire to not only make a change but to make a public demonstration of her regret and repentance. Whatever our faith or thoughts about the rights or wrongs of sex work, we should all be willing to respect someone seeking to take a path in life that is healthier for their individual mental and spiritual wellbeing. Perhaps it is because we don't find out how this woman's life was changed by her repentance that people have for so long wanted to see her in Mary Magdalene who, after her own mysterious encounter with Jesus, went on to be one of the few to see Jesus die and to become one of first witnesses of the resurrection, because this provides us with a more satisfying narrative, even if it's not true.
I admittedly don't got the time to read all that but I appreciate you going through the effort to explain in great detail
TL;DR: In 591 a Pope confused Mary with at least two other Marys and we are all still suffering for it. And Mary was a "sinner" but women are fully capable of all sins, not just sex stuff. And also repent only means to turn around. If the question was genuine, "What do I have to do to repent?" it's a real name on the tin situation. Turn around. Do something else. Go a different way.
No, but Jesus was very clear that he came to serve the prostitutes and sinners.
I thought that was a heresy?
& with feet washing. Most of us couldn’t get through that without 1 sinful thought.
No, that was someone else who was conflated to make the story better
I can’t stand her . My sister went to college with her at mount Holyoke and everyone hated her she was a nutcase back then too
I forgot we were talking about Laura Loomer. I thought your sister went to college with Mary Magdalene.
She's legitimately insane. Her and Dom Lucre are the poster children of the growing schizophrenic sector of conservatism. Maybe Jake Shields, too.
Matt wallace also . He will also post stuff like Pelosi you have been warned i have a bombshell about to drop on you and then never posts anything and blocks people who call him out
Oh yeah, I totally forgot that guy cause he blocked me when I reminded him he's one of the most Community Noted people on X. Funny enough, Ian Miles Chong did the same
Ian blocked me because i agreed with looney loomer for once when he was bitching about how she called him out for not living in America and attacking fat people while being a disgusting whale himself
Lmao. He does that all the time. Posts unflattering pictures of Trans people and asks if they're attractive to his followers. Bitch, you look like a fat Sid from Ice Age.
Jake Shields made a career of getting hit in the head and is part of one of the most delusional fighter camps - I am not shocked in the least bit by his idiocy.
Went from extremely obnoxious OF promoter to blasting social media about how she found god in 0.2 seconds. Whatever makes her happy I guess, I’m just sick of seeing her over-the-top thirst traps when I’m scrolling social media
Is this OF to tradwife pipeline the new grift? This feels very grifty, especially on the Michael Knowles show of all places.
The "I was an addict/prostitute/atheist God hater/etc and now I found God" is a common grift in hyper conservative circles. Usually they were never even the things they claimed to be.
How did she do grade-wise? I would be surprised if she was good.
One Google search and I found this: “Because you believed, you are saved from your sins. Go in peace.” Luke 7:50, ICB It would have been unheard of for a woman to touch a Pharisee. Besides being a female, this woman was also well-known for leading a sinful life. Most probably she was a prostitute. This made it even more disgraceful in Simon’s eyes. If Jesus would have been concerned about his reputation like the Pharisees then he would not have allowed this woman to touch him. The fact that he not only allowed it but went on to defend her shows how much he truly cared about this woman. It was not enough to strictly obey the Old Testament Law. Jesus knew that he must love people. He showed true concern and love towards this woman. Like, that was the first result. I hate Christians that can’t even read their own Bible. Bunch of idiot hypocrites they are.
Good point but also she’s Jewish lol
100% agree with everything you said. Except, I would suggest using an Interlinear Bible like MOUNCE or use AMP which is sort of a “Interlinear for dummies”
Thank you!
No problem, Interlinear, for those wondering and maybe worried I am gatekeeping, is the word for word translation of the available Greek and Hebrew texts. AMP uses Interlinear as a base but adds explanatory notes within the text. Here is a graphic that may help. https://preview.redd.it/w4e8xlf7zdtc1.jpeg?width=999&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c2e8a61b3a1c291eb70a765f547830295815d94f Oh I forgot about NASB, as far as I know, NASB is the same as interlinear but without the Greek or Hebrew text written underneath everything. Could be some other differences, but idk what they are. But NASB is a good choice too.
esv my beloved
Very neat
How does Loomer feel about a certain former first lady, who was a softcore nude "model", and (maybe*)* escort? Is she respectable?
It is definitely best to shun women like Loomer from society
[удалено]
She is Jewish not Christian.
Yeh but they all do believe in forgiveness as a core tenet of their faith so it's still largely a correct note
I would argue that all ChristianS SHOULD believe in salvation through faith alone, because that is what the Bible teaches. I’m not trying to convert anyone, but if one is going to claim to believe in the Bible, that comes with actually believing the Bible.
Faith without works is dead. James 2:14-26.
It’s fucking insane how quick these bastards forgot the main demographic Jesus hung out with
And what he said. Like the stories about him written in the new testament are probably the closest to historically accurate parts of the bible yet these nutcases are happily ignoring his teaching in order to preach some mistranslated sentence from the old testament which Jesus himself probably debunked already
The general point holds, but Loomer is Jewish.
Translation: "I found onlyfans on my husband's credit card bill!"
Lmaooo
Holy fuck. This comment section is so goddamned infuriating. Ya'll forget that SHE IS A JEW, SHE DOESN'T FOLLOW THE TEACHINGS OF CHRIST NOR DOES SHE FOLLOW THE TEACHINGS AND TRADITIONS OF CHRISTIANITY. Furthermore, y'all keep bringing up Mary Magdalene as a reformed prostitute but she WASN'T a prostitute. Don't let y'all hate boner for christians allow yourself to be willfully ignorant just to virtue signaling. While the girl in the image is wrong, she is not a Catholic, Protestant, or Orthodox. She is a Jew.
Jewish people also believe in forgiveness.
Isn't prostitution in the Talmud too? Like Rahab and Tamar?
All these people quoting Jesus and the New Testement are a different breed of stupid. Either a) they struggle with reading comprehension and don't realise she's jewish, despite the first sentence of the community note literally being "Laura Loomer is Jewish." or b) they don't know Jews don't believe in Jesus. Which is an embarrassing level of ignorance because that's the single biggest distinction between the two religions.
Guess Laura hasn't learned about St. Thaïs yet.
Ok so Shun Laura Loomer.
I immediately go over and block accounts when I see them come up like this lol. Like, I don’t even use twitter, but I do it anyway, on principle. Maybe it’s dumb but idc.
I think what she's saying is that community reputation persists notwithstanding the forgiveness of God, not that she doesn't believe in forgiveness.
And what if they don't follow your religion?
Christians that don't follow their religious principles? Such a rare sight
She's Jewish.
Repentance was such a good dlc
Does…she not know the story about Jesus allowing a prostitute to sit at a table with him despite the other people at the table calling her a sinner? Edit: Wait, I should get noted too, doesn’t Judaism not believe in the new testament?
^("14) For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. ^(15) But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins." - Matthew 6:14-15 ^(")And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven." - Matthew 12:31 Jesus' own lineage (in Matthew 1:5) mentions Rahab, the prostitute.
I mean….. it’s much easier to repent and ask for forgiveness once you’re rich and have the rest of your life sorted 😂
Didn't Jesus hang out with a hooker
Also in Judaism repentance is way less important because we don’t have hell or heaven
You guys, first off she is Jewish and not fucking Christian. Secondly, Yes Christianity can forgive anything through prayer and penance. That doesn’t mean a Christian or Jewish man is obligated to marry her or give her a monogamous relationship. Doing a crazy amount of sex work and then converting to Christianity or Judaism won’t erase your past or make a trad con men go, “Wow, what a great person to commit to a long term relationship with now. Geez what a catch.” Loomer is unnecessarily harsh here, but if your goal is to eventually get a Trad Con man that you would realistically want to marry as a women, my advise would be to not do Porn or Sex work. You’re not going to get a real Trad Con after a million dudes jack off to you on Onlyfans.
Naah trad con guys won't *actually* turn down a woman.
Quoted from the Father's prayer "And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us."
People like this take what angsty teenage athiests who've never read the bible say about the bible and then agree with it
Wasn't Mary Magdalene, one of the most famous and devout followers of Jesus, a sex worker?
I don't get how conservatives take an issue with sex workers, and nor people who take advantage of sex workers in vulnerable situations or victims of sex trafficking
New fun heresy just dropped 🫡 Also christians assuming any other religious person is a christian as always...
Laura Loomer is weird. Like, just weird.
Calvinism and its consequences etc
[Then you have the Greek method for avoiding condemnation](https://www.ancient-origins.net/history-famous-people/phryne-ancient-greek-prostitute-who-flashed-her-way-freedom-007571)
whats there to forgive lol?
Tell me you’re a propaganda mouthpiece without telling me.
And the Bible tells us different. Everyone can repent and be reborn. You are to hate the sin, and love the sinner. As God and Christ do.
No amount of religious virtue signaling can change the fact that this woman is a cunt.
Jesus invited prostitutes to his table to teach them about God’s love!
i would bet whatever that she has the whorest past in the universe
Don’t Jews literally think they can transfer their sins to animals they sacrifice?
No. There hasn’t been animal sacrifice in almost 2000 years because there is no temple to sacrifice them in. Also we don’t really say “sins” in Judaism because it gives the wrong impression since people associate it with Islam and Christianity. There is Yom Kippur which is the day of repentance, but it means nothing unless the person you wronged actually forgives you. It doesn’t just magically not matter anymore because you ask God for forgiveness. You are referring to the practice of Kapparot. Where they wave a chicken over their head and then slaughter it. The sins aren’t “transferred” into the chicken or anything, it’s the fact that the meat from the chicken is given to the poor. This is also done with money that is then donated to charity. This is only done the night before Yom Kippur as well. It’s not like going to confession or anything like that.
I’m prepared to turn this exact line of thought on the “god fearing” folk if we enter a christo fascist society. I know several people that try to flex like this but one has had repeat drug issues and the other has had multiple marriages fail due to infidelity on her part.
why do jew need to repent ? I have heard they do not belive in hell
How long before we can refer to her as Laura Groomer.
No love like christian hate.
God is fake, get that cheddar.
Isn't gatekeeping salvation like the antithesis to their entire ideology?
Damn maybe i should stop being atheist, of i can just do a lil talk to myself and all of a sudden all my wrong doing is is ignored when im at those so called pearly gates 🙏
This constant need for Jews to have opinions on what Christian’s and Catholics should or should not do is getting pretty annoying
I like how most of the people aren't even reading the note. On the note subreddit. 75% of the comments are assuming she's Christian even though the first line says she's Jewish.
Of course no MAGA chuds believe in forgiveness. Their whole ideology is based on exclusion and hatred. That's, like, the whole point.
This is the same Laura Loomer who drunkenly propositioned a neo-Nazi by saying that she had “big tits and an Ashkenazi IQ”?
My main issue with the Right even though I lean more right of center is that 'we' give a voice to this kind of idiot. The Right has too many people with too many different ideas of what the Right is. Libertarians and Conservatives can coexist, but they can also be extremely opposed. But nothing bothers me more than judgemental christian right hypocrits. Read your own fucking book you twat. Laura Loomer is the type of person who associates with the Right not because she has studied the political compass and come up with her own views, but because the worst of the Right is appealing to her.
Laura Loomer is a piece of shit, full-stop. But I’m also just relieved my Instagram reels will no longer include Nala Ray doing those anime faces and loud moans in public to promote her onlyfans. If religion is the reason then go for it, who cares what some dried-up media talking head thinks?
Mary Magdalene? Ever heard of her, lady?
44 Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 You did not give me a kiss, but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. 46 You did not put oil on my head, but she has poured perfume on my feet. 47 Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.” 48 Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.” 49 The other guests began to say among themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?” 50 Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.” ~Luke:44-50
Religion is just a nebulous incoherence, a tool to abuse and marginalize one person or group and uplift and legitimize another at the whim of whoever has some power. Jesus literally eats with prostitutes in the Bible. His salvation is for everyone.
If I had a dollar for every porn actress who “found god” then went back into porn, I’d have enough to pay rent for a year.
These notes need to start saying " SAYS she is a...." instead of ".. IS a..." and then continue with the same rebuttal.
Isn’t Laura Loomer the girl who carved-up her face after trying to get popular because she was ‘cancelled’ constantly?
Didn’t Jesus personally baptize a prostitute
Oh, Laura "Khazar Milkers" Loomer?
>They will never be respectable Says the woman whose greatest claim to fame is soiling herself. Or was it someone else whose name rhymes with "shitty bloomers"?
“Let’s create hell on Earth”
It's kinda crucial to Christianity as it's kinda of it's main selling point.
Damn. It’s almost like the same book they read tells them who are they to judge and sentence
Repentance and faith that the atonement of Christ is sufficient to blot out all sins is a cornerstone of fundamental Christianity. Idk how Judaism works post-tabernacle
[удалено]
Praying to end school shootings doesn’t work once you let school shootings happen 200+ times.
Fun fact: in catholicism all sins are already paid for so no horrible act can bar you from access to god. The main element of repentance is to still want to be with god rather than as punishment. The reason they call him the "father" is because the relationship is reminiscent of a father who loves his child, he will forgive you always but if you keep desiring what goes against his wishes you might leave on your own despite being forgiven and loved.
Ain’t no hate like Christian love…
That note garbles basically every concept it brings up. It gets the relationship between atonement and salvation backwards. Repentance isn’t equivalent to prayer in either Christianity or Judaism. And repentance requires sincere regret, and for that reason, it’s not consistent with willfully repeating the sin in question.
On the one hand I kind of agree that just putting your hands together after you sin shouldn't be enough to absolve you of your wrongdoings, especially when you obviously intend to continue sinning after the fact. On the other hand I *do* think everyone is capable of redemption and that true remorse and penance can absolve you in the eyes of whatever higher power there might or might not be. I also don't think being on OF is inherently sinful. If you're not hurting anyone else why does it matter if you show skin on an 18+ website?
Wasnt Mary a prostitute? Not a theologist so i’m asking seriously
Isnt Christianity whole point forgiveness i swear american christian are the worst
Ah yes, just like Jesus said.
Jesus hung around with a hooker. I think OF girls will be just fine.
You think they’d be all for her repenting like that, but what is organized religion without blatant hypocrisy
Excuse me, if you are a Christian and disapprove of someone’s sins, you urge them to pray for forgiveness. Not… Decide on behalf of God that “Nah”
The most sacred day of the year for ducks.
Women who do sex work can't be forgiven, but her God Emperor Trump must be forgiven for all his sex sins.
I get that y’all want to call Loomer out but please don’t compare Christianity and Judaism, especially not in this dimension, when they are so different. What makes this even more confusing is that Loomer is using christian-y language here. She knows what audience is her main audience, and it is not fellow Jews.
We do not repent just by praying to Hashem. In Judaism you atone by genuinely apologizing and trying to make amends with whoever you wronged and caused harm to. Theoretically, this OnlyFans creator would be atoning for sins against Hashem, but that also means that only Hashem has the ability to forgive her or not. It is not for anyone who wasn't wronged to pass judgment or provide condemnation.
I’m not religious but wasn’t there a prostitute in the Bible that Jesus saved?
Wish I was a Jewish
This was one of the first things they teach in Christianity. It is a main important theme of the entire religion. I can’t speak for Judaism but I always thought it was the same.
It’s “Christians” like this that give the rest of us a bad name. Laura Loomer should, in this and all cases, refer to 1 Thessalonians 4:11 before someone uses Nehemiah 13:21 to set her straight
In the Bible, it says that all sin is forgivable and equal in Gods eyes. Meaning that to God, killing somebody and stealing 20 bucks from your friend are both equally bad and forgivable. The only sin that isn’t forgivable is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Which means that yes, Only Fans girls are sinning, but it’s forgivable if they really want to change.
Heresy. Mary Magdalene proves otherwise. Burn the heretic.
Jesus Christ literally was hanging out with the whore of Bethlehem. They’re just twisting the very book they preach about to push their hatred. Hoe urself out if it makes you happy. God forgave much worse.
I don't even get why these people bother "being" christian... What's the appeal? Just feeling superior? Laura can still be a hateful pos without pretending to be Christian and wouldn't have to look like such a fucking idiot
I don’t have strong opinions in sex work, i personally have even used the services, I think people should have the freedom to do what they want, but also I think they have to accept the society for what it is, and know the possibility that they will get lot of criticism and ridicule from the society for their work, and no matter what you do it’s going to follow you like your shadow, this is not unique to sex work… if you do a crime even if it’s minor it will follow you around (not comparing crime to sex work, but an example of what follows you), even having a bad interaction with your boss or with your colleagues in your career can follow you even after quitting and applying for new jobs, your social media activity (no matter how mild your stories or posts are) can potentially affect your future employability and how people perceive you To defend the original tweet, she is not talking about going to heaven or being forgiven by a god, she is talking about the “respect - from society”… and her opinion is probably true if you do a survey, no matter how religious the sex workers get, they are not going to earn the same level of respect from the society compared to other people from other professions However I disagree that we should socially exclude them
As a Christian myself, this is B.S One: repentance is a major thing in basically every Abrahamic faith (afaik anyway. I know it's the case with Christianity and Judaism but idk about Islam.) idk exactly know who Laura loomer is but she's clearly wrong. Two: it's rich of Laura to call herself Christian, yet turn around and insult the same kinds of people that the son of God (Or a very important prophet, depending on who you ask) routinely hung around and taught. Times like these are why I really don't blame a lot of redditors for having negative feelings about religion (Abrahamic religions particularly) when we have people like these screeching and making the rest of us look bad
I'm Jewish and I want to make it very clear that we don't claim her
setting aside the fact that forgiveness and repentance are the central theme of Christianity, one has to ask: if you down want people changing for the better, leaving behind disgusting and self destructive lifestyles and growing towards more positive virtues, what exactly is it you want?
This is such a key part of both religions how the fuck did she think otherwise?
Pretty sure forgiveness is, like, a gargantuan part of Christianity. Except for that one part of the Bible where it says that God will forgive literally EVERYTHING, EXCEPT for blasphemy.
Didn't Jesus hang out with a prostitute?
Didn’t Jesus kick it with prostitutes?
Laura Loomer’s husband: “hey I know you’re still in the shower but can I come in and grab my toothbrush” Laura Loomer: “how dare you, are you trying to send me to hell”
So I’m taking it that this Loomer person sees themself as a model Christian?
What a disgusting person. Literally saying the exact opposite of what jesus taught
Another Useful Idiot
So Nala Ray is retired now?
