It is foolish. It's like playing darts in the dark (sounds like a song title LOL) when people assume and guess and speculate. Actually the Bible tells us not to speculate. Seems to be a favorite game for many though. Plenty more criteria needed agreed.
Actually, the way I read it, the false prophet rises up out of the land (Israel), and the Antichrist (the one with the head wound) rises up out of revived Rome (EU)

Just because you don't believe something doesn't mean it's a lie. I know you don't believe the election was stolen. I 100% believe it was. And it doesn't have a thing to do with Trump. Everything to do with Biden/Harris. I watched the game that was played for a second time round. Obama treats him like he's dung on his shoe. I do not believe Biden got more votes than Obama, let alone Trump. As far as Twitter I have a right to say my opinion, and I believe the election was stolen.
I think what JTB is saying is, NewTwitter is going to be THE PLACE for lies and confusion from both sides... Just look at how we argue among ourselves HERE... :unsure:

People that say they are Christians are believing all kinds of stupid lies they read on the internet already.

It is a huge problem that I have seen first hand in the last few years. There seems to be some kind of mental illness affecting Christians that they can't recognize a lying Meme or know how to check it against the facts.

Many of my friends that I expected to know better, don't. I am flabbergasted by it. I have tried to understand why and as yet I don't really have an answer.

Sometimes I just think to myself is "self, many people are not as intelligent as you assumed that they were." And "self, don't get a big head and think that you are gifted, because you are not." :)

I am suspicious that the reason that so many people believe lies is because they want it to be true. That is probably what lies at the root of this phenomenon. But I am not really sure.
God warned us thousands of years ago that His people would be deceived in the end and drawn away from Him. One way satan is accomplishing that is by making the liberals such a godless horde, that Christians flock to the right, ignoring their multitude of less visible yet just as ungodly ways.

I really would like to believe the election was a fraud. I do. But when republican judges, republican sycophants, republican audits, et al all say there's no proof, I gotta believe it wasn't.

Frankly I think the fraud was running Biden in the first place. I still think before his term is over he will back out and put Harris in office, which is what they really wanted. She couldn't win it on her own, so they put in a straw man as a stepping stone to her gaining power.

Exactly. That has been the whole problem all along. Twitter and other platforms choosing to manipulate what people saw and read. I cannot comprehend how it is that people just do not see that. Deception I would think.
Trouble is it's coming from BOTH sides.

But Christians only want to see it from one side.

This should have been the biggest item for discussion among the Twitter subscribers (I do not subscribe to any social media, which should actually be called Socialist Media). Along with the criminality of Joe and Hunter Biden. Musk has commented on how Hunter Biden was protected.

Instead everything was suppressed and censored, and even now there are only a very few conservative news sources which continue to report on the stolen election. However, the "Laptop from Hell" is finally mainstream news it seems.

On that point we can agree 100%!!

Even though the numbers still don't add up lol... I do agree with THIS!

This is just another excuse to censor free speech. How come this "concern" was not expressed when lies were being published daily for the past six years? The Russian Collusion Hoax was a major lie which was promoted as the truth, and is still believed by many to be true. Where's the Leftist outrage?

It is only when the hatred and hypocrisy of the Left is about to be exposed that suddenly there is all kinds of virtue signaling. A Democratic politician is now calling for "algorithmic justice"! The European Union is actually threatening Musk to prevent free speech from being resumed! Twitter's lawyer actually shed tears when faced with the fact that free speech is coming to Twitter! The Leftist meltdown over this purchase is a sight to behold.

I agree with Steve Bannon

Reports from Twitter's management about their response to Musk buying the company is outrageous. Musk should pull his bid based on that. Twitter's stock price would drop 20% and there would then be 500 lawsuits against Twitter management for breech of fiduciary responsibility. While these lawsuits take hold you would see all the management swept from Twitter. Elon could then come back with a bid at least 20% lower in a few months.

Meanwhile Twitter is exposed for what it is to the whole world, many more sheep wake up, and GETTR and TruthSocial get turbo charged.

It may be that this was the strategy all along to help with the roll out of Truth Social.

Twitter has no competing bid, no strategy to rebuild their brand, and Elon Musk saying he doesn't care about the economics, he just cares about free speech is a dagger to their heart. It says that the company is not worth $54 a share and at the same time it says that they prohibit free speech.

This seems like a much better strategy for Elon Musk, he could play a major role in free speech in this country without all the baggage that Twitter will bring and without bringing a withering attack on his companies and government contracts.

Politics... What makes you think it will ever change?
Money, and the authority to control money, is the reason the world is so small... "Root of all evil..."

Communist/Leftist countries HATE freedom and free speech. That's one of the reasons they persecute Christians. E.G. China, North Korea etc. They also crack down on social media etc. What are they so afraid of? THE TRUTH. That Jesus is Lord, and that the arguments for Truth will turn out to be just too strong if they allowed freedom of discussion to all their citizens. I'm a firm believer in freedom. The Bible speaks about liberty/freedom, of course a righteous freedom:

"Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom." (2 Cor 3:17).

"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery." (Gal 5:1).

Slavery is precisely what Communists/Leftists want to reduce as all to. As Tucker Carlson recently said, you know a Tyrant, when he's afraid of what you think and what you say, and tries by every means to prevent you from saying it. Lots of opponents of the Gospel oppose the relative freedom Christians still have on the Internet to spread the Good News. Let's Pray to the Lord that that continues.

Even in political matters, Truth generally has a tendency to win out when fair and free discussions take place among good willed people. People who fear freedom fear the Truth. That's why they fight so hard to take it away from us, and why imo we must fight equally hard to retain it. I view Musk taking over at Twitter to be unequivocally a good thing, and I pray President Trump returns to using Twitter again.

Trump had some 80-90 MN followers on Twitter last I checked. That's a great asset that he can use, to great effect, in future. His followers would probably cross 100 MN soon. Trump was great for the Faith, Freedom, Pro-Life etc. He did what he promised to do.

God Bless.

What I don't get is how Christians so clearly see the lies of the left, and yet are so blind to the lies of the right.

Oh yeah, that's right. Because the left deceives the world and the right deceives believers. Even when they were warned many times not to buy into it.

Haha. I have many American Christian Friends, so I know a few things about America also. But from Indian Christians' Perspective, freedom is so important because often here in India we are persecuted and denied it. Freedom is a Grace from God imho and to be wisely used. Of course, if people misuse freedom, and lie/sin etc, they will answer to God for it. For Christians, we believe the Son of God has set us free indeed, and where His Spirit is, there is freedom. I pray governments will follow the "Gamaliel Principle" at least and allow the Gospel to spread.

God Bless.

Which is why it is hard for the rich to enter heaven.

That's one big thing I have against the right - they are HUGE mammon worshippers.
