Good news about Jesus Christ! When you first come to him, He completely erases/ forgives your past! You will not be punished for anything bad that you’ve done! Here’s how! (2 Corinthians 5:17)- “If anyone is in Christ, He is a new creation: The old has gone, and the new has come! (Explanation of the Bible verse above): Whenever a person decides to turn their lives to God they will NOT be punished or penalized for any of their past sins before coming to God. Yes, a clean slate! A clean record! But they must abandon their old sins for Good. This is what Christians mean when they say they’ve been “reborn” or “born again.” (To have their past erased completely and forgiven!) (So for example), if a prison inmate decides to turn his life around and ask Jesus Christ for forgiveness, then That prison inmate will not be punished for his past sins And given a clean slate! This individual will also still be eligible to make it to heaven. But he must abandon crime and his old associates. A life turn around. This is what Christians call “repentance.” Version 6.0

Green bay should have beaten Tampa, the defense turned the ball over 3 times and rodgers choked. That's fine, it happens but i wish people would lay off this narrative that green bay aren't good besides Rodgers.

[@JonnoEmonno]

@@garethjohnson8579 it’s the system bro, the team is mediocre. No weapons like that on offense, running back had one good year, let’s see if he does it this year. Then their defense really has been mediocre for years. Aaron Rodgers didn’t choke, he played better than Mahomes did against that same defense. Take Rodgers off that squad and they are not a playoff team

[@jaelynbrose8713]

@@garethjohnson8579 That's funny, that you said,"A top 15 defense is mediocre?", when #15 would be mediocre. If the Packers defense was so great, you should have said, "Top 10 defense". But the Packers was able to get only 1 sack on an immobile Tom Brady in their 2 games last season.

[@garethjohnson8579]

@@jaelynbrose8713 they also caused him to throw 3 picks. They did enough to give the packers a chance to win that game.

I honestly hate green bay so its great that they having a disrupted offseason and hopefully turns into a disrupted and poor season on the field. However, i am starting to feel a bit sorry for the rest of the green bay roster. People treating them with disrespect. They had 8 pro bowlers and people talking about them as if they trash and can't win a game without rodgers. Ok i would say they wouldn't go 13-3 but with a competent QB they still making the playoffs and probably still winning their division. So stop with this Green Bay is trash without rodgers. I wish it was true, i really do, but it's not.
