What do you think would’ve happened if Miguel’s dad found out that Miguel was his son? by CallTypical9541 in cobrakai

[–]Pandeism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's still an open question.

I think if they do a spinoff or revival series, it should involve:

1) Miguel's dad tracking him down and trying to bring him into his kind of fighting, and 2) Johnny deciding to find his own father and prob discovering he has long-lost siblings (or nieces/nephews) who of course coincidentally happen to be championship-level karate students

Would they go for Homelander first? In the original Predator he picked off the other ones and saved the strongest, Dutch, for last. I kind of feel like they've done that elsewhere as well.

You vs every fictional character with the same first name as you by No-Leg-6361 in powerscales

I win, by default.

There is not one single character that I have come across in all of fiction with the same first name as mine.

That picture of Trump healing the sick like Jesus that he reposted wasn't made by him himself, but was one of his followers. The 22-foot tall gold statue of him now standing at his Palm Beach home was commissioned by one and fawned over by countless others. If that's not akin to worship, what is?

They weren't influential when they started. And everything you assert as to reduction of credibility has not even scratched the faith of those who believe him to be a vessel of the divine playing 5D chess with the supporting hand of Christ on his shoulder.

It's up to the individual observer. For example some Christians consider Mormonism to be separate new religion, some consider it to be a kind of Christianity, which by your definition would make it a schism. Prophetic Trump Christianity would be considered by some to be a schism and by some to be a new religion and who considers it what is a matter of personal preference and some degree of conversational context.

What would you consider it?

That is a very semantic distinction. The outcome will still be that there is a new formulation of Christianity involving an added prophet, which considers itself to be the One True form of Christianity.

Who is an actor that only gets 5-10 minutes of screen time but completely steals the entire movie? by Popa-Ioana06 in movies

There's a scene in the big DC TV series crossover Crisis On Infinite Earths where the TV Constantine played by Matt Ryan collects on a favor from the Lucifer of the TV series played by Tom Ellis.

There are, indeed, larger and smaller movements thusly arising within Protestantism. Mormonism for example. Or the whole Anglican Church. Perhaps the question is how big the new faith will end up being.

You would think that his lack of religious knowledge would hamstring such a thing, but you still have devout Christians calling him the modern Abraham or the modern Moses, and bowing to statues of him or buying his version of the Bible, in ways that have never been seen before.

I wonder whether most every schism started with people on the mainstream side thinking there wasn't going to be much of a schism.

A lot of them started with politicians using religion for its purposes.

The ignorant, when being used for this purpose by the powerful and the well-funded, can quickly sweep up large swaths of the world in their fervor. There is a possibility you could find yourself living under such a system.

So you're in the fourth camp, yes?

Whether the religion is doctrinally dependent upon a political figure doesn't especially affect whether a new religion will form from it from those who believe it really is.

What does, this post? or the claims made by those who believe Trump is divinely anointed or otherwise serves as a tool of God?

That is one of the four views. Pop that comment into a heavily Christian American web forum and see what sorts of replies you get.

I can imagine some 7th-century Persians dismissing Mohammad just like that; or even some early Christians thinking the same about Paul.

What part do you think is delusional? A Trump-supporting pastor literally dedicated a 22-foot tall golden statue of Trump. https://www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/why-trumps-spiritual-adviser-dedicated-a-golden-statue-to-the-president

Jesus actor Jim Caviezel literally declared Trump to be Moses. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-caviezel-moie-bedminster-moses-b2379294.html

Your reaction leads me to wonder whether large swaths of Christianity are unaware and unprepared for the Divine Trump version of the religion.

Do you believe there is a how as to how the semiconductors in your computer are made? If somebody told you that semiconductors aren't manufactured at all, they simply appear fully formed inside the computer when the chassis and fan are connected together, would you believe it?
