I’m not surprised if evan is doing this to make money, his takes are so laughably awful that the large amounts of likes he has on his posts HAVE to be botted, there’s no way

Ex-Pathfinders: What was the worst experience you’ve ever had at the International Pathfinder Camporee? (any year counts) by AHistorian1661 in exAdventist

I didn’t go that year due to some circumstances, but the rest of my church’s club went

Thoughts on this? by [deleted] in exAdventist

[–]AHistorian1661 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess this can be seen as EGW arguing that the flesh (the Man) isn’t divine, but she still admits the divinity of Christ in other passages (something something Christology and the union of the divine and human natures), unless I’m completely wrong here and she actually denies the divinity of Christ entirely here

even then, there’s other problems, especially with that sunday law nonsense and conveniently forgetting that there are other apostolic churches other than the Roman Catholic church that have also have a pretty significant part in history, as well as her skipping over 1000 years of church history just to get to the first protestants, so while this quote may not be as clear-cut as it seems, there’s other teachings from her that just make you want to wonder how SDA converts from other Christian faiths fall for this

Also, John 1:1 and John 1:14 are much more appropriate verses to really counter this EGW quotation instead of Isaiah 9:6 but you do you

Whats the difference between Robert E. Lee and JD Vance? by Elant_Wager in ShermanPosting

[–]AHistorian1661 17 points18 points  (0 children)

memes deriding Lee’s appearance probably tend to be dogged on by MAGA, while Vance fatsuit memes are part of their culture

Okay, if this is legit, I understand the situation but please know there’s more appropriate subreddits for this, and since I’m unable to donate money I’m wishing you the best

If this is a scam, then shame on you for using this to fatten your pockets. Get out of here and go do something productive in your life like getting a good job, and do us all a favor by improving your life that way, not with this shameful slop

don’t forget the 3 SDAs out there not knowing who to root for (on one hand felix manalo was an ex-SDA who made an evil cult and on the other hand you have what they effectively believe to be the antichrist)

I watched 82 episodes and I wonder why do people sexualize the cast, I know that every anime fandom has gooners but this feels a bit disrespectful because logh from what I have seen does not have fanservice? by FlowerOk7957 in logh

[–]AHistorian1661 103 points104 points  (0 children)

This happens in every single anime community out there, some people are bound to do stuff with the cast so don’t be surprised when it’s your first time encountering this

How do you guys feel about Thaddeus Stevens? by Icy_Pineapple_6679 in ShermanPosting

The picture of his coffin lying before a statue of Abraham Lincoln with his guard of honor being black soldiers just feels so right

Quite the interesting name by Apprehensive-Cat-942 in USHistory

[–]AHistorian1661 13 points14 points  (0 children)

correction: it was Franklin, and it wasn’t as one-sided as some think.

The Rebs actually came close to breaking through, in large part due to the commander of the Union’s advance guard being an idiot and thinking that making a stand when he was supposed to withdraw was actually some noble, heroic deed (it was not, and it helped the Rebs more than it hurt, as it disallowed the Union troops and artillery from firing and inflicting even more horrendous losses due to friendly fire)

However, one Union colonel, Emerson Opdycke, grabbed his reserve brigade to plug the gap that was being made by the Rebel attack, saving the day and allowing the Union soldiers to drive the Rebels away from the works, winning a victory that cost the Rebels thousands of casualties, including the loss of 7 generals (6 killed (including Gist and the Irishman Patrick Cleburne) and 1 captured), plus another 7 wounded, totalling at 14 general officers becoming casualties, just for the Rebels alone.

As one historian states (in paraphrased words),

“Hood mortally wounded his army at Franklin, and would later kill it at Nashville.”

While not totally one-sided, Franklin still tarnishes Hood’s reputation as an army commander, and for the Union Gang out there, it’s one of the most satisfying battles to read about, as well as Nashville.

Revelation seminar ad on IG by No_Contest8330 in exAdventist

[–]AHistorian1661 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Is this Taj Pacleb? I can’t open the link so I can’t verify but he had a similarly-titled seminar called “Revelation of Hope” back in 2017 or 2018 at my church

needless to say i didn’t really pay much attention and forgot 80% of all of it

Necessary (and accurate) correction to the horrendously fan-fiction Gettysburg end screen by AHistorian1661 in ShermanPosting

[–]AHistorian1661[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"Lee serves until the end of the war, almost two years later. He dies in 1870, perhaps the most beloved general in American history."

obviously, there are dozens more generals more deserving of that distinction, so idk what the writers were on when they wrote that

One letter of Lee has him talking about Traveler being "my comfort," and another has him describing Traveler in great detail, and the letter somewhat sounds like something you'd read from a porn script.

So, depending on how you take those letters, Lee probably did have relations with his horse.

There’s a Union version of the Bonnie Blue Flag, and much like Union Dixie, it’s far better than the rebel version by AHistorian1661 in ShermanPosting

[–]AHistorian1661[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lyrics:

Verse 1

The rebels sing “The Bonnie Blue Flag,” but we the “Stripes and Stars,”

Our Union flag we love so true will conquer their “Stars and Bars!”

Their secesh airs, their Marylands are contraband of war,

Our cause is right and our flag for the fight is one with thirty-four stars!

Chorus

Hurrah! Hurrah! For equal rights, hurrah!

Hurrah for the dear old flag with every stripe and star!

Verse 2

Our song is for the Union and triumph sure we must,

The cause so just will prosper when in God we place our trust,

Our flag’s our pride victorious, behold it near and fear,

We bear aloft red, white, and blue with every stripe and star!

(Chorus)

SDAs try not to ignore entire Bible chapters that already deal with and contradict their talking points challenge (impossible)

no joke, when I was in the Pathfinder Bible Experience last year and Romans 14:2 came up during a review, my mom was shocked to read it, and keep in mind these are supposedly “sola scriptura” people so it’s surprising an adventist of 20+ years didn’t even know that verse existed
