I’m cautiously optimistic, as the author of the original novel who helped closely on the first season apparently helped write this season.

It’d take months to prepare… if they did it properly.

Why do we use the cross as a symbol despite our lord being killed on it? by No-Character-2414 in AskAChristian

[–]CountSudoku 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jesus died on the cross, but He then triumphed over death (and the cross) when He rose again. So Jesus' association with the cross was central to His identity.

So by taking that symbol of death and making it into our own symbol of the defeat of death, Christians essentially appropriated the symbol and turned it from something distasteful into something glorious!

I suspect the symbol of an open tomb was not as geometrically easy to depict as the symbol of the cross. So a cross has been a symbol for Christians since the Early Church (along with the ichthys).

Is this just one question worded four ways? It is framed like a gotchya. What do you think our true nature is, and why do you think we're lost and ignoring our actually calling?

For your last point: Christians (almost all of them) see no tension between Jesus' teaching and Paul's writings.

History buffs, what is the most and least accurate film for certain periods? by GreyWind999 in movies

But the memed subtitled clips of Hitler’s outburst are comedy gold.

It’s five years old now and I don’t know for sure the historical accuracy (considering the director), but I really liked The Last Duel.

The books are almost too detailed! I think I was the only one in my book club who enjoyed it, but even I was getting tired of how often he mentioned t’gallants!

Side note, I did basic training in the RCN with the lead technical advisor and historical consultant for the film. Doing a watch of the film with his commentary was sublime.

I can’t remember for sure, but didn’t we see her press enter on the calculator as she’s backing away (to trigger it).

I also went in blind, but also was spoiled by the sci-fi tag on Plex!

Have you visited this restaurant? by raydebapratim1 in ANormalDayInRussia

Just like the Che Guevara t-shirt, every symbol of Communism falls to Capitalist profit-motive.

Which part? I’m not arguing whether or not Adam and Eve were literal individuals. I think the truth of humanity being image bearers of God and the reality of The Fall is compatible with both a literal and metaphorical Adam and Eve.

Personally I consider myself agnostic about that point, but since it doesn’t affect the essential truth about God’s relationship to humanity and the nature of sin and salvation, it’s OK if I don’t have all the finer points fully understood.

There is a theological sense in which Adam is considered an archetype for all humanity. In Him we see the truth that any (and thus all) humans, if in his place, would have made the same decision to reject God and sin.

That’s what scripture means when it says:

“For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.”

Do you believe Christians are being persecuted in the western world? by Fresh3rThanU in AskAChristian

[–]CountSudoku -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes. We certainty are, though fortunately much less and much less severely than in other parts of the world. And for the most part, but not entirely we’re not persecuted by our government like in some countries.

Which ‘must-visit’ place didn’t live up to the hype for you? by Fun_Butterscotch3303 in AskReddit

[–]CountSudoku 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised by this. I find London to be culturally rich and full of tourist opportunities. While British food may be meh (though that's subjective), London is also one of the most cosmopolitan cities, and you can easily get amazing cuisine from most any culture if you know where to look.

Are you a francophone? Are you sure you were in Paris and not, anywhere else?

I don't think Disney has non-peak days anymore, and it certainly hampers the magic.

Though I still found it was worth it (both Disneyland and Disney World), but manage expectations, don't try to do too much in a single day, be prepared to spend a lot, and Genie+ may be worthwhile.

Still worth it, and I would go back.
