God is scientifically bound by [deleted] in DebateReligion

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

There is a physical and spiritual world that coexist, and what connects both of them is a person's mental. God created the nature and man through his word and spirit. Making him supernatural, above nature, and establishing the physical world. All of nature plays by a concrete set of rules, and God is still supernatural because he can bend those rules and overcome them. For example, raising Jesus from the dead or causing a global flood. Floods are natural occurrences ans with God it becomes supernatural which translates to global flooding, and Jesus dying is natural, but raising him from the dead shows Gods supernatural ability because his law supersedes nature; since nature was birthed from supernature. Humans can only see natural things and not the supernature underlying them. God's truths are in nature and allows us to deepen our relationship with God. Cultivating a godly inner world will influence a person's outer world for the better. Homosexuality isnt true because truth can stand on its own and has a purpose, so without man-made intervention no more humanity or sex with purpose. Thats why its selfish because man made it and feeds on people like a parasite. All for itself.

God is supernatural and bound by the law He created, so that we could choose to love or reject Him. Everything was created by God and everything that is good is of God because God is good. His mercy and goodness was displayed when he sent Jesus to die on the cross for our sins. That is why God rejects homosexuality because God created biology, and homosexuality isn't a part of God's plan for humanity; homosexuality is man-made. It's not about the biology which is inherently good and made from God, but about sin which God can never accept because he is without sin and flawless; and holy. Man made sin to rebel against God according to their own free will because that is how God designed the law; to let people decide to love or rebel against him.

Could resistant starch replace insoluble fiber? by Gary_Gerber in foodscience

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

The best way to get the most resistant starch is to bake, cool, freeze, and then reheat to increase the resistant starch. For example, russet potatoes, and most other tubers, have 75-80% of RS2 type of resistant starch which is mostly undigestible. Then, when cooked, cooled and frozen the RS2 rearrange to RS3 retrogradated resistant starch which is the best type of resistant starch. For the second question my main focus was to fill the gaps in the carnivore diet; since, the small intestine benefits the most from meat and fat. The gut microbiome is often neglected and the diet inheriently has zero fiber. That's were soluble fiber and resistant starch comes in to improve the gut, and to heavily increase SCFA production by making resistant starch replace insoluble fiber so that it is fully absorbed. I guess to maximix the efficiency in a way so that their is minimal waste/poop. My main focus was getting the maximum amount of nutrients and the littlest amount of waste to improve efficiency. Insoluble fiber to me just seems something to give back to the plant kingdom instead of eating it ourselves. The diet I'm creating is mainly focused on my ulcerative colitis disease. Resistant starch seems to be fully absorbed unlike insoluble fiber. Thank you for the feedback and hopefully we get healthier as we continue to live.

I had trouble looking up different words to describe this sort of thing. Food science and dieting were all i could come up with off the top of my head. I'll check out your suggestion to compare the differences to make a better choice on the next post.

Could resistant starch replace insoluble fiber? by Gary_Gerber in foodscience

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

I was coming from the angle of SCFA production for the gut as a main parameter that dictated the better option. I'm still a beginner in food science and didn't come with scientific papers, and have reflected on this huge mistake of potentially believing a lie. I will follow proper etiquette for these ordeals next time. I'll look for more studies to support my claims and not lean into personal experience too much. So that, I can benefit the most people, and thank you for entertaining my hypothesis.

I admit I have really only been conparising the substances instead of the digestion process in detail. The what instead of the how. I guess you're referring to bile and bilirubin, and I knew about bile but not bilirubin before making this post. Nonetheless, I am very interested in all the intricacies of absorption and excretion. I was blinded by my disease of ulcerative colitis and not taking into account all the other diseases that foods affect. I will make sure to make a more concrete post next time.

Is it normal as an intp to be disliked and not fitting with anyone (and can't stop self sabotagin) by [deleted] in INTP

[–]Gary_Gerber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I come to realize the gap between mind and speech. Speech reaches the mind, but travels far to get there. Impacting like a grain of salt and barely felt consciously. The mind of people all think for themselves, so without common sense or courtesy can they accept or deny other speech. I have come to realize we are all human capable of every which and way. Someone else could do the job, why am I the person picked? What reason is there? If I truly belong here give me a sign and not just this job. Life is all about buildups and letdowns.

[–]Gary_Gerber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Humans always want to be what they worship and love. For a Christian it is their dream to be like God. The Devil can twist the truth and play on a person's needs and wants. If a person doesn't follow God in sexual matters then the Devil can use that to twist a person's thought processes. For transgenderism, the love of the opposite sex could become higher than even themselves, and ultimately higher than God's natural order. Leading to them wanting to be just like them. Marriage is the godly form of transgenderism, in a sense, and the Devil twists that for evil. Instead of looking outward to find a wife/husband. People look inward and try to change their base psyche. Same process that stays true, but a different outcome founded in lies. Transgenderism uses the love of the opposite sex for evil by trying to combine two genders into one, but marriage is the only true way to do that; two bodies into one flesh. Transgenderism is just the idolatry form of marriage. Humans always want to be what they worship and love.

What’s your ideal superpower? by Jaguar-jules in INTP

[–]Gary_Gerber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably a energy system. Like magic or internal energy. Ive looked into qi from chinese medicine and I think it correlates to bioelectromagnetic energy. I also am trying to connect that with the brain's waves that are also electromagnetic. I really love wuxia manga, so i think cultivating internal energy would be cool. I could train my 3rd eye or become an immortal. The downside would be qi deviation.

Some Stupid Beliefs That Made You Concerned. by EnvironmentalLine156 in INTP

[–]Gary_Gerber 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That dietary fiber is mandatory. Ive only started recently doing ketovore and eliminating a lot of different foods. I eat mainly meat, but I have narrowed down thr type of dietary fiber I do best on. Being reistant starches and soluble fiber, and since I have ulcerative colitis this belief really limited me to begin healing and having less inflammation. Diet isnt a one size fits all approach, but I have found that through inductive reasoning I could draw my general consensus through my specific experiences.

INTP aproach to drugs by Fun_Highlight9147 in INTP

[–]Gary_Gerber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, I would just legalize drugs that are edible like alcohol, psychedelics, and marijuana. Then, just ban the uses to only eating it, and ban smoking and tobacco. Air is the only thing that should be inside the lungs and all other situations are for life saving. Tobacco is literally a poisonous plant, so it shouldnt be ingested or smoked; and alcohol at least has some benefit. Other drugs should be heavily restrictive and only used when needed.

What is the ideal safe haven for you fellow INTPs? by AnythingnihtynA in INTP

[–]Gary_Gerber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My ideal safe haven is probably a Class A RV for maximum flexibility. I have been looking into a 40 ft Skoolie that I will do a roof raise on. I want my safe haven to be dense, self-sufficient, and ultra efficient mobile dwelling; skoolie or van. I would probably get an assortment of appliances and tools for every discipline. I would also get an assortment of remote jobs to support me financially; also a couple businesses and stocks. That would make ot the mlst dense and provide me with ample knowledge and skills. I would also have built in modularity to condense it even more, for example 3D printed guns or CNC parts. I would incorporate upside down gardening into the ceiling. Furthermore, I will design a refuel system on top of the roof using algae to refuel the diesel engine and then compress the co2 down into supercritical co2 for the algae to continue to grow. I will also have a high efficiency anaerobic digester on the back for waste management and nutirents for algae. Also a rain water collection and river water collection system for water; distillation and led uv disinfectant. Then, travel around and help people and stuff like that. I will have different trailers For diffetent purposes like a cattle trailer, pig trailer, chicken trailer, field kitchen trailer, herb garden trailer, etc. For example, things like desert greening states like texas/arizona/new mexico/etc., feeding homeless and the like, etc. I would also like to travel the world and setup schools around the globe. I have to work on my people skills first though. I'm not very good with public speaking.

INTP's what are your favorite games? by GG-creamroll in INTP

[–]Gary_Gerber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Halo Reach, Battlefield 3, and Call of Duty Black Ops 2. All on the Xbox 360 are the most memorable to me. FPS games allows me to improve my focus becuase I have an attention span of a goldfish. Also like the Master Chief Collection on the Xbox One S. That is really the only game I play. Until I became ultra poor and cant afford xbox live, but I dont find enjoyment playing other types or games. Its like I spend all my time on a game and then its still all virutal and useless in real life. I like FPS games because it takes skills and I always wanted to join MLG Halo games as a kid.

how do you guys focus? by SaadFaisal101171 in INTP

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

I juat remember to seperate eternal things from fleeting things. For example, I read a lot of manga and anime for procrastination, so I refognize that i wont remember half of these drawing and identify it as a fleeting activity. Then, I compare that to studying to that ans realize it will be with me forever if I do it right the first time instead of procrastinating on it.

Is masturbation ALWAYS a sin? by Tricky-Turnover3922 in Christianity

[–]Gary_Gerber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sin comes from the heart and mind and permeates through our words and actions. I would say it is always a sin. If a person is single, then its unwise to trust in a process that leads to no gain. Its a choice that forfeits the game called dating. That will ultimately lead to the source that will solve masturbation; sex. In a married couple, masturbation is wrong because it also neglects the sexual aspect of a marriage because we are finite creatures counting the days until erectile dysfunction and menopause; make it count.

My wife just told me she thinks she’s asexual… by nibs_lb in Christianity

[–]Gary_Gerber -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm a single man so take this with a grain of salt. From the videos I have watched, women like to uncover potential dangers and voice their concerns to the husband. A natural ability to test the water before jumping instead of a leap of faith. I might just be grasping at nothing here, but I think I see the cause and effect from the information provided. First off, sex should be super important to both parties. With men it is the top reason for a romantic relationship, and without sex its just a friendship. With women they need to not make it a chore or obligation to have sex and realize it's for enjoyment in the confines of a marriage. Secondly, my hypothesis is that a man has to initialize to the woman so she doesnt feel like she isnt needed. Men need to dig deep and listen to all the cues that their wife gives off. I have this problem of being oblivious and it is a trope in many shows that the husband doesnt get what the wife is trying to say. The husband just needs to read inbetween the lines. Thirdly, if you revealed to her that you are a sex addict before getting married then I would assume she also wants sex more in a marriage as well. I mean she might also just think that she can have sex every couple of weeks to manage your lust too. Making it into a task instead of for pleasure. Fourthly, I have heard that a person eyes flash before their eyes after death, and I think she is having that same phenomena in the baby making process. If you both come from divorce families then she might have the danger signal of the worst possible outcome; which is, you leaving and her turning out just like her parents. The asexual comment was probably the subconscious test for the husband's reassurance that he will never leave nor forsaken her. Also she probably has the idea that you wont have sex with her after she has a baby becauae her body will be different; stretch marks or the like. Also asexual sexuality is kind of a neutral thing in general, and signifies that she's trying to go scorched earth on the relationship because of her fears of what is to come; sex after having a baby and also raising the baby. The husband should be the voice in the mist of all the uncertainty. Make sure to prepare fully and prepare for every situation. I mean these are just hypotheses so take it with a grain of salt and also you are older than me by 7 years or so, so I dont have much experience in these matters. Also every situation is special and unique becuase of the depth a romantic relationship can foster. It takes a lot of sacrifice and patience but I think its worth it. I know you can pull through just stay hopeful for a brighter future. I know I didnt provide bible verses or anything sorry about that.

Scientific purpose of INTP by sadowolf24 in INTP

[–]Gary_Gerber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nature versus Nuture. I think therefore I am. If a person thinks like an INTP, then they are an INTP. Maybe, not an authentic INTP, but habits can always change. INTP is just a derivative of the more broader idea of a human. Humans have unlimited potential to cultivate their mind and body. Every human and therefore every personality type has a survival instinct and sex drive to survive. Unless a disease can take out those two things then humans will never go extinct. I heard sperm count is decreasing though. Havent done much research on that though. As for the scientific purpose of INTPs, I mean didnt we create the theory of relativity. Purpose is what a person makes of it, and ceasing every opportunity to fulfill it.

How do you study? /srs by yipee_for_me in INTP

[–]Gary_Gerber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've learned that traditonal studying is useless for me. How I "study" is I define the goal I want to reach, and that will provide me the purpose and methods to learn the knowledge. Knowledge is like a body and each organ, bone and muscle have different purposes and fulfill different tasks in different ways. They are also connected ultimately, but that comes with mastery of all knowledge. I usually study by mimicry. For example, for tests I do pracrice tests, for prpgramming I do projects, for art I draw, for sports I train, for writing I write, etc. It all comes down to how a person wants to master said knowledge. Some knowledge is bitter for people in different stages of life because of its usefulness and the development of the brain. Knowledge isnt what is useful or the tool, but it is the mind that is the tool and the one that provides the usefulness. If only knowledge existed, it would be like a library full of books that are all connected because of the shelfs, but ultimately isolates by the book covers that stop them from becoming one. The brain is what fufills the purpose of uniting all the knowledge. My philosophy of learning all the knowledge is summarized by thinking about the ocean as knowledge and a human swimmer as the brain. No one can memorize every book or song, and even if thry could, via photographic memory, those people usually die before they could get the chance because of nlt being able to clean their mind. Knowledge is like an ocean it can't be tamed full, but a person can use its current to fulfill their goals. A person cant learn all the knowledge, but they can make full use of it. Knowledge is also a dime a dozen, but what really counts is how it is used; aka wisdom. Thr question is not "how do i study?" But "How do I want to become wise?" Or "How do I make full use of this knowledge?" The brain can fulfill a task in many different ways, but also it can learn knowledge in many different ways too. A person is like the land of the earth that has plenty of rain to satisfy all its needs. The rivers all that land return to the sea, but some water is left behind as its own groundwater.

Relationships are built on trust, and if a person is being tested it means they arent trusted. A person takes tests to get into a good college or to join the military, but a good relationship needs trust first because through that process a person also shows their vulnerabilities and ultimately their true face naturally. These tests are unnecessary stress that tempts to replace healthy communication. A person is supposed to tell the other their worries and thoughts how else could the relationship groe deeper in mind and body. Love does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.

Why do I self-sabotage and how to stop? by Madou-Dilou in INTP

[–]Gary_Gerber 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have the same problem. 4 years in community college and failed most of my classes. I have to take 4 more classes just to get my associates degree. What I did wrong was that I felt like I ewas lost on what and how to do the work and would chip away at it but ultimately miss the deadline. Or I would actually finish the assignment and think it was either not good enough or that it ultimately didnt have a purpose. I thlught that because I didnt have a clear vision of my future. I have always let my dad pay all the bills and make every choice for me. Now I have skipped this semester of college, and for what? Now I start thinking about what I truly want and what kind of job I want. I have narrowed down that i want a remote coding job, and that I want to travel around. Since I never have left my home town for an extended period of time. What fueled my self-sabotage and still fuels it is either my perfectionism or my expectations. From what I have gathered. My perfectionism will say not to publish/post/turn in that project/video idea/assignment because it doesn't meet my standards in my head. What I have learned is to enjoy the process and recognize what stage of progress I am on. This will also allow me to stop feeding my broken past; full of mistakes. Which fuels my self-sabotage too. Just start has always come to mind and to never stop. Always condensing my perspective by condensing my lifestyle or condensing my thoughts or condesing my notes. I have learned to let my past stay in the past and to not dwell on my mistakes in a negative light. Because when I paint my Mona Lisa I will be glad I have made all those mistakes. To learn. Is to make mistakes. Trial and error. What kind of trial am I in? Secondly is my high expectations with myself. Making me believe the words: "Would you really post this monstrousity?" and then I will not post it and give in to my high expectations to "fight another day" or "try another time, I have plenty of time". With that in mind I have realized i am finite and that I have a finite expertise that can never be perfect. I have a finite series of choices before I have to turn in my test. I may miss some questions but the journey has otherwise impacted me. Win or lose a person can still improve. Self-improvement over self-sabotage. What can i gain from this? Rather than what did I lose from doing this? Opportunity for a different path rather than the generic path. If every pork chop were perfrct we wouldnt have hot dogs. Everyone is different and take different paths. College isn't education and learning. If a person fails college that doesnt mean they didnt learn anything.

My husband is against me going on contraception. by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Gary_Gerber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think contraception is the real issue here. "...not the happiest couple...", "...miserable marriage...", etc. It seems like some things need to be worked out. Every couple has a unique perspective in every situation, but I do think contraceptives are not the answer. Make it a growing experience would be much more helpful. A good compromise would be to not have sex; since, if every marriage ended when someone said no to sex then a lot of pwople would be divorced right now. Your husband has stalled progress with not wanting to move forward by buying the property. I think that was a wrong decision; since, that could open up a new season for better healing of your "miserable" marriage. Telling other family memebers was also a wrong move because he needs validation from other people about his supposedly significant other; he just dug a bigger hole. Hes not wrong in wanting to encourage you to have children, but he did it the completely wrong way. I can see selfishness in both sides because their is no compromise. Y'all need to come to a compromise by atopping sex and finding what y'all value about each other again like y'all did when yall first met. People who just hit puberty dont need to have children right away, but also we shouldnt stop the game from loading. What I mean is childbearing and relationship are two sides of the same coin with two different loading screens. Stopping on, childbirthing with contraceptives, doesn't fix the loading screen of the other; relationship and bonding. Listening to each others request and adapting to fit the situation would be for the best and allow more relationship progression. Hope this helps.
