Independentemente de ser plágio ou não, o fato é que muitos dos chamados “corinhos de fogo” se assemelham aos pontos cantados nos terreiros de religiões de matriz africana.
Os cultos conhecidos como reteté, com pessoas rodopiando pelo salão da igreja, também nos remetem ao sincretismo com o candomblé e a umbanda. Alguns estão chamando o fenômeno jocosamente de Candombléia. O que tudo isso significa? Puro sincretismo? Fogo estranho?
Influência de outras entidades se fazendo passar pelo Espírito Santo? Ou poderíamos lançar um olhar mais humano e menos preconceituoso sobre o fenômeno? Como é notório, a religião com o maior número de negros no Brasil é a pentecostal.
the modern "#conservative" movement, the right wing of American politics, is fundamentally about the primacy of emotions over reason.
of course that's not something that right-wing politicians and pundits will ever admit openly. @MattWalshBlog pretends to be "rational".

Western society exalts itself as the sole embodiment of reason and logic and science on Earth; even mere #Christian bigots like @dalepartridge or @jordanbpeterson have taught themselves to pretend that their bigotries—and indeed their religious assertions—are "logical".

this is an easy trick for human beings to manage.
any human being can be taught to stick, without ever yielding, to an assertion—however absurd the assertion is. "@jordanbpeterson is logical and rational" is an absurd assertion but Mr. Peterson and his fans stick by it.

Back in January, while in days of fasting (21 days fasting movement of my church), I was about to end fasting for that day. I was still eating my meal when suddenly I received a WA message from my girl, Deea.
She sent me these 2 pictures. That was her mom and her boyfriend (at that time, he was in Medan) both got baptized on Dec, 25-26th 2021. 
God wants us to see the Giver behind the gifts, even the gifts of salvation. Until we have come to realize that He is the greatest gift of the #Gospel, we will never really understand it or Him.
Our hearts will never be melted by God's love if we do not look to Him as THE GIFT.
We can so easily domesticate him with our expectations merely getting what we want, including "escaping hell." This really misses the heart of the Gospel and still sees God as tyrannical.

This is a very Augustinian movement that ultimately God wants us to see the Giver and not just the gifts, even of salvation.
Augustine would even say that we can be so idolatrous that we end up using 'salvation' as a means of distancing ourselves from God and hiding from him.

it is, beyond all question, whom John means when he speaks of "the Word." No doubt there are heights and depths in that statement which are far beyond man's understanding. And yet there are plain lessons in it, which every #Christian would do well to treasure up in his mind. ..

Bishop @silviojbaez addresses one of the most misunderstood and misinterpreted passages in St Mark's Gospel in today's homily, Mk 16:17-18. Let's take a look at his commentary in this thread.

"These signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes; if they should drink anything deadly, it will not harm them; they will lay hands on the sick & they will get well" (Mk 16:17-18)

Bishop @silviojbaez who is a scripture scholar and former professor of sacred scripture, sheds like on Mark 16:17-18. "The language is somewhat archaic and symbolic," he says, "but it is worth deciphering." This is an effort "to permeate creation with the gospel."

Devastating, revealing and hope-producing. #RaviZacharias was letch and liar. This leading evangelist was a leading deceiver/exploiter/abuser of women among evangelical men. But his org embraced the truth—about him. #silenceisnotspiritual 1/ nytimes.com/2021/02/11/us/…
Evangelical women, this is how the betrayal happens. Women told to be pure, while leading evangelical men are filthy. They reek a foul stench that betrays their forays into hell (sexual abuse, exploitation and rape). #ravizacharias #anatomyofthebetrayal #silenceisnotspiritual 2/
