They acknowledge God and Jesus and call us Imagebearers. They treat us as little siblings who are the rightful heirs to God as those made in His image. This is why they're very benevolent to us. The reptoids are evil, however and the greys who work for them do abduct and harm.

Demons have no ability to manifest themselves physically in our realm of existence as aliens do, but they do commune with the reptoids, another species of alien. Common misconception. The reptoids are the deceivers. The Federation acknowledges God and calls us Imagebearers.

Exactly, both are horrible. Yes, blasphemy God is worse but disparaging His imagebearers is if not just as blasphemous.

If all people hear from Christians is “this is sin,” they’re not hearing the complete message of the gospel. The problem is not just what we say, but what we leave out. Too often, Christians have spoken in condemnation without redemption. The gospel is not against people. The gospel is for ALL people. Even lost "LGBTQ" identifying people are image-bearers who need the same Jesus we do. Gospel truth matters involve humility, patience, friendship, and a life reflecting the beauty of Christ. What do you think Christians most often get wrong in how they approach the LGBTQ community?

We are not worthless. We are loved, called to cease our rebellion & come home to the Father who loves us & is quick to forgive & restore. Jesus incarnated, assuming our nature to heal & redeem His imagebearers, destroying the works of the devil. Calvinism is anti-Biblical
I have heard it said, “God didn’t die for frogs. He died for humans, implying we were worth the sacrifice.” This turns grace on its head. We are less deserving than frogs. They have not sinned. They have not rebelled and treated God with the contempt of being inconsequential in their lives. God did not have to die for frogs. They aren’t bad enough. We are. Our debt is so great, only a divine sacrifice could pay it.

P1. If God creates imagebearers with genuine self-determination, then their future actions must not be fixed prior to their choices (open). P2. If their future actions are genuinely open, then there is no single eternally fixed set of future free choices to be known as determinate. P3. If there is no single eternally fixed set of future free choices, then God does not eternally know one fully determinate history of creaturely decisions. P4. Knowing reality as open where it is in fact open does not diminish omniscience. C1. Therefore, God’s omniscience includes knowledge of genuinely open future free actions. P5. If God instead eternally knows all future free actions as fixed, then those actions are not genuinely self-determined. C2. Therefore, either: (a) creatures are not truly self-determinate, or (b) the future is genuinely open & known by God as such

If God eternally knows a fully fixed future, then neither creation nor creaturely freedom is genuinely open. Both are simply the unfolding of a set reality. But if God is truly free & creates genuinely free imagebearers, then reality prior to creation includes real possibilities, not a single determinate future. P1. God is perfectly free with respect to creation (He was not necessitated to create this specific world or any world at all). P2. If God is perfectly free with respect to creation, then multiple distinct creations (or no creation) were genuinely possible prior to His creative act. P3. If multiple distinct creations were genuinely possible, then no single determinate creation existed as “the” future prior to God’s act. P4. If no single determinate creation existed as “the” future, then God did not eternally know one fixed, fully determinate world as the necessary outcome. P5. If God did not eternally know one fixed, fully determinate world as the necessary outcome, then creation is not the execution of an eternally fixed blueprint. P6. If creation is not the execution of an eternally fixed blueprint, then God’s act of creation is a genuinely free and creative act and an exercise of wisdom, will, care & ingenuity. P7. Creation ex nihilo entails a genuinely free & creative act of God, not the mere realization of a predetermined necessity. C. Therefore, God did not create the world because it was an eternally fixed object of knowledge, but rather brought it into being through a free & genuinely creative act, selecting from among real possibilities.

A World of Image Bearers: Fractals of His Glory 🔥❤️⚓️ And to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. EPHESIANS 4:24 ESV🙏 Jesus is the embodiment of God’s image—the perfected man. He is the representation of the invisible God living within and through each and every one of us (Col 1:15), the flawless fractal pattern and ultimate template of divine love, righteousness, and authentic presence. …one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. (Ephesians 4:6 ESV)😇 Imagine a world where we spend less time fixated on crafting our own image, and more committed to declaring His perfection in others. Turn attention from self-perfection to discerning God’s fractal beauty in every soul—His glory and grace reflected uniquely in each heart, weakness, and diversity. We, created in His likeness (Gen 1:27), are called to put on this new self (Eph 4:24).🙌 1 Corinthians 15 49 And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly man.😇🙏💪🏿 Imagine communities finding refuge together, highlighting God’s strength in our vulnerabilities, fixating on eternal gatherings rather than comparison, freely spreading His love, and seeing God in others above envying outward appearances and possessions. A world where we delight in our differences and are grateful for one another’s presence.🦋 We cultivate this shift through daily practice: speak words of life over ourselves in the mirror, notice with discernment and affirm the beautiful in those nearby, keep our spiritual radar tuned to His presence in every encounter. 💥 Through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, God lives in us permanently as love (1 John 4:12-16; Romans 8:9 ESV: “You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you”; 1 Corinthians 6:19 ESV: “Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God?”). This indwelling is intimate, complete, and forever—sealing us (Ephesians 4:30), guiding us, empowering transformation from within—not as ego-driven “little gods,” but as humble vessels where the true I AM abides internally and shines through eternally.🔥🕊️ As we abide in His love and listen to His voice, His image becomes unmistakable in every person and moment. Jesus embodied this presence perfectly, reminding us of what humanity was created for: intimate union with God. In His unique incarnation, Jesus isn’t the only son of God; He remembered and reminded us of this eternal reality: We are all sons of the Most High and share in His inheritance, as fellow heirs with Christ 👑 Romans 8:17 ESV: “and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ…”🔥 Jesus prayed for this shared oneness to be our reality: “that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us… The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one” (John 17:21-22 ESV). His name, Immanuel, even translates to “God with us”—and through the Spirit, God within us. God is with us, in us, always. We are unique and wonderfully made—fractals of His glory, shaped after His perfect template. ❤️ Rise each day declaring your royal and sovereign identity as God’s heir and beloved child. Immerse yourself in His living Word to let His voice drown out every lie and awaken your true self. In every encounter, pause and pray, “Lord, unveil Your beauty here,” then pour out life-giving words that call forth His image in others. As the Spirit guides these simple, faithful steps, watch transformation unfold: your heart aligned with His, your relationships radiant with unity, your life a blazing testimony that the glory of God dwells in us—now and forever. Step boldly into this divine reality; the world is waiting to see His light shine through you.❤️⚓️💪🏿👑 #ImagoDei #ImageBearers #LastAdam #Immanuel #GodWithUs #HolySpirit

No. However treating typology as predictive prophecy is a common mistake. Rather, Jesus experienced a betrayal similar to David but to a greater extent, thus "fulfilling" the typological pattern. Prophecy in Scripture is a declaration of God's intention to specifically do X, warning men so as to provide an opportunity for it not to come to pass... or a declaration of God's knowledge of the present character and circumstances of His imagebearers which He sees leading to X, warning men so as to provide an opportunity for it not to come to pass. See Jeremiah 18 or Ezekiel 18 for examples. Typology is more centered around themes, of types and antitypes. This is similar to Campbell's Hero's Journey, speaking of shared experiences that when applied to Christ (antitype) are elevated to a greater extend than the original (type).

It seems he may be assuming we believe God can only know if He effectually decrees... however this fails to recognize how God's knowledge is grounded relationally in contingent beings, necessitating Dynamic Omniscience. God can indeed bring things about, but He also knows the present intentions, character & circumstances of His imagebearers. In this way knowledge of the future isnt knowledge of an existing reality, nor an exhaustive decree... but a living ENERGETIC and relational knowledge.

1. Exhaustive includes possibilities. We affirm this. Foreknowledge is tensed knowledge. We affirm this. Id argue ONLY we affirm these. 2. God did not decree evil and sin. He created imagebearers who rebelled. Now He actively works to redeem and repurpose.

The argument isn't that stories cannot convey a moral lesson. The argument is that under Calvinism, as paralleled with the Star Wards example, all evil originated in the mind of God and His imagebearers lose genuine personhood. Can you address that?

God doesn't create infants wicked, sinful or evil. They're His imagebearers; innocent recipients of His mercy and love.

Nope. We are much the same. In the very first few chapters of scripture, the Godhead says "let us make man in our own image" we are all imagebearers. Whether we want the role or not. Do you think God so small and weak he can't dwell within us? Within a sinner?

OR... truth values are grounded in the present reality and thus subject to change... either by God or His imagebearers.

All of this is Enlightenment-era philosophy, btw. We acknowledge that humans, as imagebearers of God, are entitled to certain dignities and respect, but this doesn’t extend to permitting sin or false doctrine. Do you believe the law should reflect Mormon values?
Bruh… I used to feel like Protestants were hard on people. But at least the Protestants believe in religious liberty and basic human rights. These orthobros are nuts. They will use the state to impose their will. I have been majorly losing respect for Eastern Orthodoxy lately. Sad. ————- The Eastern Orthodox tradition does not emphasize strict separation of church and state (as in the American model). •Historically, it has leaned toward a symphonic model—church and state working in harmony, each with distinct roles but ideally united in purpose. •In modern contexts, most Orthodox Churches accept political pluralism and generally support cooperation with secular governments—but may resist policies that contradict Orthodox doctrine.

How does it follow that if God's knowledge is active and energetic this presents a problem for His imagebearers to know anything? If God knows it is now 7:05am EST on May 19,2025 and Christ IS risen... how does this pose a problem for us?

That's cute. Now try this. "Hitler and Nazis were image bearers. Just because people agree with Hitler or Nazis on x, y, or z, it doesn't mean they are in the NSDAP or advocating for some evil or tyranny etc. As imagebearers they got some stuff right and we can learn from them."
