6 MAJOR #Gospel Problems ( #Apologists Won't Admit to)

#God #Forgives #Rapists & #Murderers… But Not This?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ULU27JMtOk
#Christians claim that God is all-forgiving—so why does the #Bible say there's one sin He can’t #forgive? In this video, I break down the doctrine of #blasphemy against the #HolySpirit, examining the verses, #contradictions, and #theological confusion surrounding it. We also expose how #Christian #pastors and #apologists can’t even agree on what this sin actually is or if it can be committed today.

When a top Republican says Russian propaganda has infected the GOP
The GOP chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee
— Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Tex.)
— said that #Russian #propaganda had “infected a good chunk of my party’s base.”McCaul suggested conservative media was to blame. “There are some more nighttime entertainment shows that seem to spin, like, I see the Russian propaganda in some of it
— and it’s almost identical [to what they’re saying on Russian state television]
— on our airwaves,” McCaul said.
He also cited “these people that read various conspiracy-theory outlets that are just not accurate,
💥and they actually model Russian propaganda.”Asked which Republicans specifically he was talking about, McCaul said it was “obvious,” before staff intervened and asked that the conversation go off the record.
These comments are the most significant to date, but they’re not the only ones.
A GOP impasse over additional funding for #Ukraine’s defense against Russia
— combined recently with Tucker Carlson’s deeply weird promotion of Russia and Trump’s comments about not defending NATO allies from Moscow
— has apparently occasioned some self-reflection among Republicans about their colleagues and allies:
• Former vice president Mike Pence, Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) and a top aide to Sen. Todd Young (R-Ill.) have warned their party against serving as #apologists for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
• Recent presidential candidate Nikki Haley said Trump’s comments about not defending NATO allies, among others, “#empower #Putin.”
• And Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.) shot back at criticism from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) about Cornyn’s support for Ukraine, urging Paxton to “spend less time pushing Russian propaganda.”Around the same time, former congresswoman Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) said there is now “a #Putin #wing of the Republican Party.” In 2022, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) called the pro-Putin sentiments in some corners of his party “#almost #treasonous,” while allowing that perhaps his fellow Republicans were just #attention-#seekers.
“It’s unthinkable to me, it’s almost treasonous and it just makes me ill to see some of these people do that,” Romney said.“But, of course, they do it because if they get shock value and it’s good to get more eyeballs and maybe make a little more money for them or their network. It’s disgusting.”
And then there is what may be the most famous example: when House GOP leaders in 2016 privately joked about Trump being #compromised by Russia, as later reported by The Washington Post

Global Poverty is Preventable Genocide
with Thomas Poggehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwRD74Ubtt4&ab_channel=MoneylessSociety
Is global poverty improving, or getting worse? In this episode we explore the true reality of the horror of deprivation and mass death from a lack of the basic necessities or generic drugs to cure medieval diseases-- from a lack of money.
Capitalist apologists claim poverty is decreasing, while the line is set at a measly $2 a day-- increase it by even 2 more and the number of people in extreme poverty explodes. 18 million people die every year, 20,000 CHILDREN every day, and 1 in 2 people lives on less than $5.50 a day.
To explore this topic we brought on one of if not THE greatest expert on global poverty, professor Thomas Pogge to counter the establishment narrative that everything is getting better, and work to eradicate poverty as we know it through systemic change.
