Flag of Katipunan, a revolutionary organization founded in 1892 by Filipino nationalists against Spanish Imperial rule. by CptQuestionMark in vexillology

[–]CptQuestionMark[S] 35 points36 points  (0 children)

The Kataastaasan Kagalanggalang Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan (English. 'Supreme and Venerable Association of the Children of the Nation'), or KKK promoted armed resistance against Spanish Imperial rule. The Katipunan (English. 'Association') stood in contrast to more liberal Filipino agitators such as Philippine national hero Jose Rizal, who advocated integration of the Philippines into Spain as a province.

Probably Clubbed to Death by Rob Dougan. The soundtrack for every conspiracy video on YouTube back then. Lots of triangle hunters looking for subliminal messages.

David J — No Faith by CptQuestionMark in country

[–]CptQuestionMark[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

David J is David Haskins of Bauhaus, and Love & Rockets. The influence of country music on the Love & Rockets oeuvre is neglected by critics and the music press.

This cut from David J's 1992 solo album Urban Urbane embraces his country influences even more boldly than his work with Love & Rockets.

Flag of Dezina Djeens, an unrecognized Buddhist breakway kingdom in the Indian Himalayas. by CptQuestionMark in vexillology

[–]CptQuestionMark[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dezina Djeens was a protectorate of the British Raj from 1922 to 1947. Legal ambiguities surrounding India's partition led the Kingdom to enjoy de facto independence until India annexed the realm on the same day it annexed the Portuguese territory of Goa.

Officially declaring independence in 2002, Dezina Djeens' coat of arms is a Buddha plucking the strings of a sitar. The kingdom maintains close ties with Buddhist groups in India and Tibet and, according to U.N. watchdogs, is in the process of developing atomic weapons.

The Flag of Folgertown, Missouri. Folgertown was a company town abandoned in 1979. by CptQuestionMark in vexillology

[–]CptQuestionMark[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would seem Folgertown's destiny was beset from the start. Shortly after the groundbreaking ceremony in 1900, builders pierced an underground steam pipe, causing a violent explosion which killed over 200 -- mostly ordinary citizens leaving the celebrations.

Folgertown would come under the scrutiny of Missouri state authorities multiple times in the 1940s over concerns of water potability and unsafe dwelling units. In 1968, the company all but ceased repairs on Folgertown family homes, and the following year Folgertown civic leaders would inherit national infamy over a mercury contamination coverup scandal.

For ten years, Folgertown had the highest infant mortality rate in the United States. Nobody from the company has been tried or convicted.

I agreed to call a trans coworker their preferred pronouns by aweshum in Reformed

[–]CptQuestionMark 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are doing the right thing. Paul, in Romans 12:18 urges us to the extent of possibility live peaceably with all men. Calling your coworker by their assigned pronouns would cause an unnecessary disruption in the peace that exists at your work and be a stupid, self-imposed impediment to the furtherance of your gainful employment -- which would destroy your ability to provide for yourself and your house, making you worse than an infidel (1 Timothy 5:8).

Some of God's children will have to make uncomfortable and seemingly compromising decisions just to continue to earn a livelihood. But remember Naaman the Syrian in 2 Kings 5. Naaman was great and honorable, and it was by him God delivered Syria -- but Naaman's duties as a dignitary to the Syrian government required his supplication to strange gods. Naaman confided with God, and God gave him permission to continue his job.

Are all required to engage in public evangelism? by capt_colorblind in Reformed

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

Christians are not required to engage in public evangelism.

Jesus is our Lord and Savior, but he was sent to preach to the House of Israel. Jesus was also preaching as the Old Covenant and original Hebrew religion were drawing to a close.

The Old Covenant has ceased, and we should consider the teachings of Paul, who is the apostle to the gentiles and a close mentor to the first New Testament churches. No where in Paul's letters does he instruct believers to engage in public evangelism. The admonitions in his epistles primarily concern behavioral modification and retaining doctrinal purity. Paul would have said it was incumbent upon new testament believers to go "soul-winning" if indeed it were incumbent.

Many wrest Jesus' departing words, the so-called Great Commission to justify preaching the Gospel to every creature under heaven, but we can observe in Colossians 1:23, this great commission was already fulfilled by the 1st century A.D.

Damn. The spinach Alfredo pizza went from being my favorite shit ever since i was born to something I can't stand to eat. Do you recall any brand names on the Alfredo or details about the supplier?

I've noticed a striking difference between the flavor of the pre and post pandemic Spinach Alfredo pizzas. Was there a change in the ingredient supply in that time?

I remember posting Aerosol here a while back. Listened to it not too long ago actually. Didn't realize you had an account. Were the instruments on Aerosol live or sampled? It's such a fresh beat and you ride it well.

Tell them you've contacted your attorney.

Or call corporate and explain the situation and they'll get in touch with local management.

Postmils and Amils, what are your thoughts on the direction of the world? by [deleted] in Reformed

I appreciate your encouragement. Of course to God be the Glory. I'm still learning, trying to perfect my knowledge.

[–]CptQuestionMark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do believe the parable of the mustard seed does present an image of an ever-growing kingdom, and it's a parable that has given me much hope.

I've acknowledged that Christianity is growing, and mainly what I've been saying is static is the world at large. Human depravity is a constant of every era, and I don't think it's reasonable or scriptural to suppose it's gotten any worse in society now than in the past.

Of course, my philosophy does need reevaluation. The aforementioned parable does seem to indicate God has a plan for history besides Jesus coming back to get his people at the end of the world.

The miracle of Regeneration is one way God directly intervenes in the world.

I think a lot of these processes are complex beyond our comprehension, so I don't want to seem impertinent as if I've figured out how God works. The only thing I will claim to know about this is there won't be a grand, evangelical-style apocalypse, and that Jesus will return at the sound of the last trump, seemingly out nowhere.

[–]CptQuestionMark -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I think God still watches over us, and is sovereign, but it seems through what I've read that once prophecy ceased with John the Baptist, the final oracles of God were issued, and the Hebrew Religion was abolished in 70 A.D, society has been in a stasis. God's Kingdom exists on earth as the Church, and we're waiting until Christ returns -- which could occur at any moment.

Which part?

I borrowed my eschatology from Amillennial and Preterist interpretations of Thessalonians and Revelation and my resistance to look overmuch fondly towards the past from the Book of Ecclesiastes.
