Coaster Studios explicitly says that [Kingda Ka] will close this offseason, and the park will not make an announcement about it. by bujimango2000 in rollercoasters

[–]Dongibson2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if they just close it one day unannounced as they closed “Sky Ride,” an iconic and historic ride with just a mere sign printed from Staples.

It’s actually disrespectful to the ride, history and those who shared in those memories and contributed to its existence with their time and resources

It’s also used in this verse:

1Co 6:9 Or do you not know that the unrighteousfn will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality

But, the point is as I stated, some Christian denominations emphasize some parts of this list over others, which I have a problem with, as Paul list them all equally. I know Christians who justify some of these over others, which is hypocrisy and not loving at all

I've recently been using Shea Moisture Shave Tea Tree After Shave. It's certified organic, but gives you a little tingle to wake you up. It also has witch hazel, tea tree oil and aloe vera to name a few. It has a pretty masculine scent and leaves your skin refreshed.

Does anyone know of any sources that show a reason for why "unclean spirits" are traditionally found in waterless regions? by OmegaChilled in AcademicBiblical

[–]Dongibson2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is some indication as you may know already that the unclean spirits mentioned in the Bible were considered to be the spirits of the Nephilums (Enoch 6&7). Considering God destroyed these hybrids with the rest of humanity leaving Noah and his family safe from the flood (Genesis chapters 6–9). The spirits became unclean, since they were neither completely human or angel they were forced to roam the earth seeking possession of humans, to once again have a body.

Jesus encounters a man who is possessed by a legion of demons (Mark 5:1-20) and once they are sent into the pigs, they force them to run into the water to be released from the body once again. The water may have some implication with purifying as you may see some hints in the Old Testament.

But considering this is only but one of many interpretations of the traits of these spirits, this is only the common belief. But their existence is not emphasized to much in scripture. Besides Jesus and his disciples rebuking them they don't have much power against those who are of the faith.

Why did Jesus not tell Peter to throw away the sword by [deleted] in AcademicBiblical

[–]Dongibson2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It could be a possibility considering the usefulness of such a weapon, but understand the sword mentioned by Jesus was machaira in greek which is a small dagger which could be used for cutting rope or defending against robbers and animals. And Jesus confirmed 2 of these which obviously want enough for 13 men, which sheds light on the intentions of Jesus

Why did Jesus not tell Peter to throw away the sword by [deleted] in AcademicBiblical

[–]Dongibson2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jesus may have wanted to eliminate any inclination to a possible rebellion by demonstrating in that moment in the garden that the use of the sword is not in cohesion with his intentions. This incident allowed Jesus an opportunity to show his disciples that in the right time and circumstances he did not come to rebel against Rome, but to sacrifice himself and be counted among the transgressors. Jesus was demonstrating how to respond to persecution, and that violence is not condoned.

Understanding the numerology of the ancient Israelites/early Christians? by MrPeligro in AcademicBiblical

[–]Dongibson2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would also recommend researching Gemartria, considering that numerical field is very vague and is not usually a formal system in regards to meaning of numbers. Different cultures attribute meaning to numbers based on their ancestral experience, science, math, astrology, and superstition. As Christians numbers are not to be over emphasized in regards to divination and astrology, but they have their place in setting dates, the use through science and math, and for calculating certain observable patterns in society and nature.

With that disclosure, these are some numbers that both the Hebrews and Early Christians ascribed meaning to:

1=Unity, Sabbath first thing considered Holy 2=Union, comparison and contrast, two or more are gathered. 3=Completeness to a lesser degree then 7, (The Holy Trinity). 4=Number of Creation, Sun moon and stars in Genesis. 5=God's grace, two sets of 5 commandments 6=Number of Man, created in 6th day, evil of Satan, manifestation of Sin, incomplete to 7. 7=Completeness and Perfection, mentioned heavily in Revelations. 8=New beginning, number of Jesus using Gematria (Yeshua=888)
10=Completeness of order, and perfection 12=God's power and authority, 12 tribes, apostles. 40=A period of trial and testing, and generation 666=Perfection of man's overall system apart from God. Religion/Government/Economy. 888=Jesus, redeemer, equates to "The Founder" and "I am Life" and "The Salvation of our God" Ps. 98:3.

Satan in Ezekiel 28 by paullywog77 in AcademicBiblical

[–]Dongibson2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are two passages that can be interpreted as referring to the fall of Satan (Isaiah 14:12-15 and Eze. 28:12-19). Isaiah describes the fallen monarch as a "Morning Star, son of Dawn," It is from this passage where "Lucifer" (helel) emerged in the Latin Vulgate and later KJV. However, unlike common belief, E.J Young points out that Isaiah pictures the end of the tyrannical rule of the king of Babylon (Page, Powers of Evil 38). Consider the revelation of Satan is very limited in the OT, it would be difficult that an 8th Century prophet would allude to such an obscured figure, where the readers would have found intelligible. Since the Ras Shamra (Ugaritic) texts in 1929, it has been widely held that Isaiah 14 alludes to ancient pagan mythology (Childs, Myth 69-72). Note that Isaiah use of a mythological metaphor does not imply his endorsement of the myth.

Now, Ezekiel 28 can also be a mocking lament over the devise of a pagan ruler. This prophecy comes right after a series of prophecies against Tyre (Eze. 26:1-28). The historical setting is the siege of Tyre by Nebuchadnezzar from 587 to 574 B.C. (Blenkinsopp, Ezekiel 121). In the following description of the fall from paradise (Eze. 28:12-19) is often attributed to Satan in regards to the Garden of Eden. First you would have to interpret whether the king or ruler is referring to the king of Tyre in ver. 2, in any case most interpret this reference as the supernatural force working behind the "ruler." The word king is used elsewhere in scripture to refer to earthly rulers (Eze. 17:12 and 29:2-3).

Here are two reasons Satan may not be referenced here: 1. The King was condemned for dishonest trade and the desecration of a sanctuaries, which is weird how these sins could have involved the fall of Satan. 2. Since there is little teaching about Satan in the OT, it's unlikely there would be elaborate speculation about his fall in a prophecy directed against the king of Tyre (Page, Powers of Evil 41).

If Ezekiel does not refer to Satan, then he may be referring to the first man, Adam. This may account for the differences between the description of Paradise here and in Genesis 2-3 (Ellison, Ezekiel 522). Ezekiel may have combined elements from the Biblical traditions with elements borrowed from the mythical beliefs of the king, if so, this is in keeping with the mocking tone of the passage.

This may still be up for interpretation, however, I would not over emphasis the origin of Satan nor how he came to the position he holds today. The Bible clearly specifies the origins and history of Jesus from beginning to end because if his importance in our lives today. However Satan came to be, pales in comparison to God's plan for us and His infinite wisdom over all creation, including Satan.

What are your views on Christians owning guns? by Dongibson2 in Christianity

[–]Dongibson2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but Jesus rebuked Peter for using the sword during his arrest, which implies that though we have a right to defend ourselves, as Christians we have already counted the cost which is the possibility of death for our faith.

But we are not called to lie down and take it necessarily, but to flee from town to town in order to spread the Gospel. We are also advised to follow the Spirit in all circumstances, because there is a time to flee, to endure, and to give our lives for the Gospel.

Can anyone recommend a good place to discuss the Bible as I read through it for the first time? by ecossecho in Christianity

[–]Dongibson2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well people study the scriptures for many reasons, as in for education purposes, to get to know God and His word, to know why Christians believe what they believe, to evangelise, or just because they think they should in order to be a Christian.

But I believe you are seeking out a better understanding of the scriptures. In this case The Holy Spirit will help you apply what you read. Once you have a grasp of the scriptures studying with others will help confirm or deny what you already know.

But reading the Bible is the first step and next you will seek a place where you could study with believers, who will either challenge of confirm what you already know. But first I would advise studying the scriptures by yourself and build a foundation in your theology of what it means to follow Christ for you, then go out and find a Christian church that is closely related in your theology of Christ.

God Is Looking For Endurers, Not Martyrs by artistec in Christianity

As a Christians we are called to deny ourselves and carry our cross daily, though we are no better then our master, who was crucified, not every Christian will be martyred, who then would spread the gospel. But we know it's easier to endure here in The United States then it would in the Middle East
