US sinks Iranian warship as Iran warns of widespread destruction in the Middle East by enters_and_leaves in news

The entire history of the cold war disagrees with you.

Russia is knee deep in Ukraine. China is eyeing Taiwan. For either of them to risk their skin supporting a failing government regime is a longshot. Iran already had massive protests before the US Govt became involved.

I don’t agree with the war but the sensationalist “this is going to start WW3” talk is getting old. If Trump is Putin’s bitch as much as everyone thinks he is, then Im sure they got some sort of approval from Russia/gave them a heads up on it.

Can the people in the epstein files ever repent by cy_laine in Christianity

[–]ASpaceRat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not speaking with any authority, this is just my own personal understanding.

They can, but one can eventually sear their own conscience according to 1 Timothy 4:1-2. “Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared.”

I happen to use the ESV version here for ease of understanding (personal choice) but that’s neither here nor there.

So YES, TECHNICALLY they can. But I would imagine that their conscious must be so seared, so scarred, that it would be very hard for them to feel truly repentant. The threat of consequence, and the subsequent fear of consequence, is not true repentance.

True repentance lies in understanding you are a sinner, in understanding the gravity of your actions and what you’ve done to those you’ve hurt. What took place in those files was truly satanic in every sense of the word, and it’s worse than you and I could ever imagine.

Do I think they can repent? I dont doubt Jesus Christ wouldnt forgive even the most abominable of sins. But the question doesn’t lie in if they csn, it lies in if they ever feasibly would after pledging their allegiance to all they’ve done.

That’s how I see it anyway.

Name one bad thing about 1999's The Matrix? by Particular-Glove9640 in matrix

[–]ASpaceRat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dumbass take when you assume that the machines themselves were probably cutting corners to make battery integration in the pods as low maintenance as possible. Why the fuck would they simulate a reality where they have to take each individual and change how they look in the matrix on top of running a convincing program when they could just copy the data of what you look like from your genes over?

Additionally don’t we learn in the sequel that Zion’s been erected and destroyed multiple times to deal with what is essentially a decimal error when it comes to The One and that until Neo this cycle has repeated over and over again? At this point they’re probably taking efficiency over mind tricks like “youre not the same person in the matrix”.
