Happy Easter.

In John 3:14–15, Jesus compares belief in Him to the moment when Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness: just look, and you will be saved.

“And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.”

Around 110 AD, Ignatius of Antioch, a disciple of John, affirmed the physical resurrection of Jesus and its role in salvation - note the various references to Gospel of John, meaning it was long firmly established then:

Now, He suffered all these things for our sakes, that we might be saved. And He suffered truly, even as also He truly raised up Himself, not, as certain unbelievers maintain, that He only seemed to suffer, as they themselves only seem to be [Christians]. And as they believe, so shall it happen unto them, when they shall be divested of their bodies, and be mere evil spirits.

Now, He suffered all these things for us; and He suffered them really, and not in appearance only, even as also He truly rose again. But not, as some of the unbelievers, who are ashamed of the formation of man, and the cross, and death itself, affirm, that in appearance only, and not in truth, He took a body of the Virgin, and suffered only in appearance, forgetting, as they do, Him who said, "The Word was made flesh;" and again, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up;" and once more, "If I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men unto Me." The Word therefore did dwell in flesh, for "Wisdom built herself an house." The Word raised up again His own temple on the third day, when it had been destroyed by the Jews fighting against Christ. The Word, when His flesh was lifted up, after the manner of the brazen serpent in the wilderness, drew all men to Himself for their eternal salvation.

What I found is that across all time periods, the various New Testament books seemed to have consistent and steady influence.

But, there were still some surprises - like the Epistle of James isn't popular at all. My pastor said it was written in a strange way with a lot of proverb-like sayings stitched together.

The Ante-Nicene Cross-Reference Project was loosely inspired by the Early Christian Writings e-Catana, a now-defunct tool that broke when the underlying archive ceased annotating biblical references.

The project had two primary goals. First, to create a visual cross-reference of biblical citations in the Ante-Nicene Fathers, in order to assess how much of the New Testament could be reconstructed solely from their quotations.

Second, to analyze shifts in the popularity of biblical books over time. For example, if 2 Peter originated in the second century as some academics allege, one might expect it to appear more frequently in writings from the third century onward.

Hello Mr. Cusack,

Happy Easter!

In your Xeet, you suggest that Jesus was executed as a political calculation by the "Trumps of the Day." Let's examine why Jesus was crucified.

In John 8:58, Jesus declares, "Before Abraham was, I am." The Greek phrase used here is "ἐγώ εἰμι" (ego eimi), which translates to "I am." This is significant because it echoes the Septuagint's rendering of "Yahweh" in Exodus 3:14, where God says to Moses, "I am who I am."

It is also significant that in John 6:46, Jesus says "[no one except me] has seen the Father except he who is from God; he has seen the Father."

By using this phrase, Jesus was making a profound claim to divinity. The immediate reaction of his audience: to pick up stones to stone him--indicates they understood this as a claim to deity, which they considered blasphemous.

This is an implicit statement that every single appearance of Yahweh in the Old Testament is the one and the same as Jesus Christ. In short, the "mean and wrathful" Yahweh is the same entity as who you claim to be your soft liberal hippie, Jesus.

To portray Jesus merely as a political dissident or a "hippie" overlooks that his crucifixion was not political, but a response to his assertion of divinity.

Do you believe Jesus is God, the same Yahweh who created this world?

Yes or no?

If the answer is "no" - then, sit down. You have nothing to say in this discussion.

Powell understands the national debt is unsustainable. He's repeating exactly what I've said, we're headed toward financial collapse.

But instead of using that to push for reform, he used it to score political points against DOGE. He dismissed discretionary spending cuts as insufficient, then pivoted to the same tired "cut entitlements" line, knowing full well that kind of proposal won't pass and isn't politically viable.

This was a moment to sound the alarm, to call for sweeping structural reforms and deep budget cuts across the board. Maybe even invoke a Convention of States if Democrats won't get on board. Instead, he used that moment to crap all over DOGE.

He refuses to target the real drivers: bloated bureaucracy, fraud, unaccountable NGOs, because that would mean giving political ammunition to Trump. He puts ideology ahead of the country's survival. He'd rather let the system collapse than risk legitimizing the same people willing to challenge it.

Retard.

People ask me why I don't think entitlements are the problem. It's simple.

Last year, the U.S. government spent $6.8 trillion.

Let's generously assume Social Security covers 73.2 million recipients at an average of around $24,000 each. That’s just 25% of the budget, and that's before we account for fraud or ineligible recipients.

The rest of so-called "mandatory" spending can be reformed. There's fraud and waste throughout the system.

But they'd rather blame you for wanting to retire. They take 12.4% out of every dollar you earn, every year of your working life. In return, you get a fraction of it back, and only for a few years- if you wait long enough to qualify. And somehow you are the problem for expecting to retire at all.

Not the bloated NGO contracts. Not the agencies with no accountability. Not the revolving door of appropriations with no oversight.

So, no, entitlements are not the problem. The system is.
