😢Ephesians‬ ‭6:10‭-‬18‬ ‭Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless.😊😊😊😊😊

Abe Lincoln was ridiculously strong , despite his 6’4 spindly appearance, he was clad in lean muscle from decades of downing trees with his father in youth. The result was a man that, according to one account, could fell a tree with the efficiency of three men, and could wrestle nearly any man of his day and win.

[@mitzibaker9598]

Science showed through DNA that he had Marfen's disease, which causes a person to grow abnormally tall with distorted features.

So fun fact Abe Lincoln had many wrestling matches and fights in his lifetime. Once, when he was younger, a famous wrestler and him were scheduled to fight. Big bets got placed, there was a lot of hype. The match started, Abe picked the other guy up and threw him out of the ring. The crowd had expected a big fight and started to boo. Lincoln said something along the lines of "If you think you can do better, you can take his place." The offer was declined.

[@bettitristan7799]

We were right at the end of our AP US History course, and the project topic one of my classmates chose to present was “Fact About Each President: A Slideshow” Buchanan and King were included, and our teacher was quick to start making excuses about the ambiguity of it all. The student clicked through to the next text transition which read “the two shared the same bed for ten years.”

The funny part is everyone knew what was going on but as long as you kept it behind closed doors then nobody cared. Abe Lincoln often shared beds with men while traveling. Historians will make up excuses like it was a normal thing but we know better. If one of the greatest president's we ever had was into guys and gals then im glad he got to enjoy himself on this earth before his sad demise.

[@acerazorakjsflasjfka]

​@@alexanderbrambila8274uh... Men sharing beds for entirely non sexual reasons _was_ completely normal back then. Beds weren't cheap. You're acting like there is any strong evidence for Abe being homosexual when in fact there is basically no real evidence for it at all. The preponderance of evidence is clear toward him simply being a straight man.
