This girl is an embarrassment to A&M. She doesn't know her history (she transposed "1876" as the year A&M first admitted black students--that was the year the university was FOUNDED).
Texas A&M's mascot is a dog named "Reveille." She enjoys status as the highest ranking member of the Corps of Cadets. Texas A&M is a Senior Military College (exact same congressional mandate for military training as The Citadel, VMI, Norwich, etc.--TAMU didn’t admit our first "nonreg" (non-military) student until 1965--only 2 years after integrating women and minorities in 1963 (and the civil right act passed in 1964).
Reveille became A&M's mascot in 1931, over 30 years prior to the civil rights act and integration. She gets her name from what the cadets who took her in so dubbed her after the mutt they picked up to care for after a car accident got excited to hear the morning bugle call (a tune known as "Reveille). A dog becoming the mascot for my Fightin' Texas Aggies had literally nothing to do with elevating a dog over black people, and I'm disappointed that she'd even think to go there in her misguided thought process.
I'm not calling her dumb, but she should also know that Texas A&M discontinued affirmative action admissions back in 2003 (a point of fierce pride for me, as I was accepted in 2006). And the school's black and hispanic admissions GREW even faster than those at texas university in austin. Grew with minorities who EARNED their way in, rather than simply checking a box on the school's diversity metrics. She'd do well to honor that legacy by applying critical thought to her incorrect stance asserting black people or minorities cannot be racist. Her feeble "prejudice" rejoinder doesn't follow, either, as prejudice based on skin color is literally racism by definition.

“…freedom has never been so fragile, so close to slipping from our grasp.”
Just days before Americans headed to the polls in 1964, Ronald Reagan delivered the speech that would launch his political career: "A Time for Choosing" 🔥

Paul hypothetically places even himself and the other apostles under the authority of the gospel once for all delivered to the saints (Galatians 1:8; Jude 3).
How much more, then, must those who claim to be their successors be subject to that same authority?

My sincere apologies for not posting this yesterday. I really meant to! Here is the entire Pro Pastor Journal (some great articles in here) that also contains my article in response to the Nikitopoulos/Truglia theory on Pseudo-Dionysius actually being a genuine first century document.

If the church supposedly fixes the problem of different interpretations, then why do multiple churches that claim to be apostolic have different interpretations? Why did you guys leave the Roman Catholic Church? Oh, that’s right, because you don’t have the same interpretation of the filioque and the Pope as they do.
The reason people have different interpretations isn't a problem with scripture being sufficient, it's a problem with people. Claiming the church is the infallible interpreter of scripture doesn't solve that problem. You just have different churches who claim that now.

I think it's fascinating that the Reformation started less than 100 years after the Gutenberg printing press was introduced.
The Gutenberg Bible started production in 1455.
The Reformation kicked off in 1517.
Once people had direct access to the Bible (and literacy rates increased) people started digging through the scriptures like the Bereans to see if what had always been taught was actually truth.

There is zero New Testament instruction on establishing a Christian theocracy.
Government can restrain evil, but it cannot regenerate the hearts of lost sinners—only the gospel can do that.
Our number one priority should be “making disciples of all nations.”

Today is a mathematical date we won't see again for 78 years.
10/24/26
10² + 24² = 26²
It's called a Pythagorean Triple Day. There are infinitely many Pythagorean triples, but only 12 dates this century satisfy the equation.Today is the last.
Next one: March 4, 2105.

My favorite part of the debate was Truglia saying that he was like Rocky and James White was like Apollo Creed
Then, to really prove his point, he lost the debate

$1,550/month 😱
You love money.
Clearly you don't want to follow Jesus' command:
"Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those with leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you received, freely give. Don’t acquire gold, silver, or copper for your money-belts."
(Matthew 10:8-9)
Instead you charge $1550 per MONTH, preying upon the most desperate caught in sin.
