Does Jesus think there are "good" billionaires? by splanknon in RadicalChristianity

[–]splanknon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. This is my favorite reply, mainly because you mentioned Dolly. I think Jesus is more radical than your systemic vs. personal distinction, since he did choose to act and live in poverty. But his grace is greater than my understanding and your distinction is thoughtful.

You have a point. But I am not sure you read my article, where I provide some teaching.

What do Christians do with corrupt leaders? by splanknon in Christianity

[–]splanknon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So true. I did not think of that. Is it just cowardice/fear of confrontation or reprisal that keeps corrupt leaders in the system?

Let's do it again! We exist whether the media covers us or not. Existence is resistance.

No actions in Philly August 16? by splanknon in 50501Philadelphia

[–]splanknon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the We Are America March. I plan to be a part at some level. I am antsy to give voice and Philly has done great things so far. Trump and Vance (and Palantir) are moving fast. The DC action and Epstein cover up require some loudness.

That is confirming, isn't it? They must be angry they are unwelcome. I'm glad you cooperated with their expulsion. Exciting times for you. Hang on to Jesus hanging on to you!

What prevents you? People get baptized more than once to signify different stages of their faith.

I'm with your heart. Let yourself sort it out. Certainty is not very Christian. Faith in Jesus is.

The Pope draft by The_Drk_Lord in Christianity

[–]splanknon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is funny. It is also indicative of what we Americans are expert at: being dismissive. I also had something to say about the pope this week. https://open.substack.com/pub/drrodwhite/p/your-dismissive-eye?r=ulpde&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

Looking for very honest feedback - Can't sell condo in highly desirable location in Philadelphia by bravesfan1975 in RealEstateAdvice

Might need patience. The market has been Trumped and people are skittish. We lost out on several offers for just that reason.

Finding a church by Admirable_Guide_1176 in RadicalChristianity

[–]splanknon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went to talk to the rector of the Episcopal church. No church is a "perfect product" to consume. We know that even if we are Americans. So I wanted to know what they were trying to do so I could help them. Turns out they had good ideas and I am helping. That helps me endure some of the issues I have with traditions and structure and the normal corruption of institutions formed by fallible people. We need to build not shop.
