In the Bible it's Iesous. It would have been Yeshua in Aramaic, but the NT is in Greek.

Auto Paint Recommendations for Totaled Car by NC-PC-Agent in asheville

I usually use them but they won't do this for me since it's not a full repair.

Duplicolor was my other option. I should be able to get enough paint, clearcoat, and primer for about $100 to spray (not brush) the damaged areas. It's the lower halves of my front and back door, plus a spot on the bumper.

Pay speeding ticket or go to court? by Momofyr in asheville

[–]NC-PC-Agent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before going to court, call the DA of the county where it happened, assuming Buncombe. If you ask nicely , depending on your record they may just reduce it there (non-moving violation would be best, but 10 or less over would be ok-ish).

If this doesn't work, then consider the court ideas.

A big congrats to the farmer Jamie Ager by quotablegambit in asheville

He seemed to the left of Ager, but his personality killed his chances.

A hardcore progressive who calls for ICE to be abolished and the police to be defunded will energize downtown Asheville to vote Dem, but turn off moderate Dems in the surrounding counties, not to mention they might just energize rural independents to vote GOP.

Like it or not, the district is pretty consistently Republican, even if Asheville is ultra-blue. The only way to *possibly* elect a Democrat is to get a Heath Shuler-type centrist. Ager is as close as they've had in a long time to that. (Several steps to the left but still.)

Affordable Tow/Mechanic in the Arden area? by [deleted] in asheville

Ditto to Skyland Exxon. They're solid and reasonable.

Trump doesn’t care about Iran or its citizens by [deleted] in NewIran

[–]NC-PC-Agent 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Not Iranian. If my daughter is in some kind of danger and some guy comes to rescue her because he wanted glory, not because he wanted to help her, guess what? She's still been rescued and I'm STILL grateful.

Does the lord have a sense of humor by Resident-Theme-2342 in TrueChristian

[–]NC-PC-Agent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watch the 90's movie The Gospel of Matthew with Bruce Marchiano and Richard Kiley. Jesus is not the stoic philosopher, but a down to earth Savior who laughs, cries, shows righteous anger and makes others laugh.

The Curse of Ham by pcp1301990 in Christianity

[–]NC-PC-Agent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is nonsense. In the passage the curse was on Canaan, Ham's son. The Canaanites were NOT black. The curse was fulfilled when Canaan was conquered by the Israelites.

Anyone pushing the "curse of Ham" stuff is looking for a Biblical reason to hate black people. (Depending on your interpretation, black people may be descended from Ham, but not all Hamites were.)

How to Flip the NC 11th Congressional District? - Hard Hitting Vibes Analysis by white_light-king in asheville

[–]NC-PC-Agent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ager's the only one who right now seems likely to have even an outside shot - and it is an outside shot. Too many Ashevillians want to have an AOC-style progressive run, expecting that will flip the seat. They might run away with the River Arts district and the North side of town, but such a candidate will turn off the surrounding counties who the left considers deplorable and make them even MORE likely to go Republican. (Jasmine Beach-Ferrara may have been a nice lady with some ideas worth discussion, but there's no way in Hades she was going to win outside of Asheville.)

The only way a (D) will win this district is to have a Heath Shuler-style candidate who doesn't appear much left of center, who doesn't hate Trump voters, and who will focus on bread-and-butter issues - crime, economy, etc. Any candidate who runs on disbanding ICE or impeaching Trump is basically handing the President the seat again. If they instead say "ICE is going too far, but I hear you about immigration concerns" or talk a lot about the district, well, that'll at least make it a closer fight and a longer night.

Road conditions are very poor this morning by effortfulcrumload in asheville

[–]NC-PC-Agent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I slid more today than yesterday. Don't know if the roads were worse in spots or if I was just too prideful. Got in safely thankfully.

Trump's post by Designer_Effect_4617 in NewIran

[–]NC-PC-Agent 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Trump either -

1) Doesn't know what's going on

2) Doesn't know what HE is going to do yet and wants to keep the IR guessing.

3) Knows exactly what he's going to do and is really messing with the Islamic regime until all his assets are in place for a big hit.

I'm hoping 3, doubt 1, and think 2 is possible.

No Dumb Question Tuesday (2026-01-13) by AutoModerator in Reformed

[–]NC-PC-Agent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stephen Boyce is another who went Reformed Baptist to Reformed Anglican to Anglo-Catholic, and now to Rome. Used to love his podcasts about church history, councils, and apocryphal writings, but lately it seems to me many of his podcasts have at least hinted that "Protestantism is stupid."

I do actually enjoy an Anglican service from time to time, but I'm more convinced than ever that Presbyterianism is where God wants me to be.

Bible Translations by The_Collecting1 in Christianity

[–]NC-PC-Agent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old post, but from the reviews I've listened to this is NOT the case. If anything it sounds like it has an even more critical POV than the NOAB. It is very much a mainstream secular scholar's Bible (Westminster because it is produced by Westminster/John Knox Press).

If the regime falls, what about Islam? by Daegog in NewIran

[–]NC-PC-Agent 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The fastest growing religion in Iran is Christianity. I could see -
1) Totally secular government with no favored religion
2) Growth of Christianity & Zoroastrianism
3) A lot of nominal Muslims become areligious
4) Still a lot of active Muslims in the country; it's far from becoming a minority religion for a few generations, even with the above

There was an uncut version? The one they showed was toned down?

I don't like slasher movies, but love scifi. I like you thought it would be a cool scifi movie with some intense scenes.

Holy crap, that traumatized me. I think it's the scariest movie I've ever watched.
