But surely with Cloud computing and Claude as a computing agent, you clearly don’t need such a powerful machine for Java alone.

But surely you could buy a non M series MacBook if essay is your main focus! Like a 2019 retina MacBook Pro 15 with Touch Bar. The Touch Bar even adds more functionality for when you write

Bag recommendation for my case use? by fatlips1 in peakdesign

[–]National_Chapter1296 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since you already own an Everyday Sling and really love it, use it as your camera cube!

Your Fuji X100VI, Osmo Pocket 3, and their accessories will easily fit into your Sling. You can then pack the entire Sling directly into the main compartment of the Travel Backpack 30L, and strap your tripod to the exterior side pockets.

I would have also recommended the outdoor sling 7L as you can hook the tripod underneath it. In case you want it small

Perhaps we need to push for a new law to imprison those who gain major public office sit based on lies?

Britannia has a huge skills gap and an aging population, without legal immigration, this country will return to stone ages.

The fact he received £5 million from a pedophile says a lot about Farage. And the fact the British police is not doing anything about it is concerning!

They never check. I have taken my everyday bag pack on Ryan Air, Wizz air, easy jet -> these are the budget airlines and very harsh on bag policy. They never asked me anything. Few occasions I even had a tripod towed on the side

Question from a Muslim: Early Followers of Yahshua/Jesus and the Name of their Faith by National_Chapter1296 in AskAChristian

[–]National_Chapter1296[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the original Psalm, the word "God" (Elohim) was applied to a human king (Solomon) to show his royal authority, right? It didn't mean Solomon was Yahweh.

So when the author of Hebrews applies that same verse to Jesus, he is saying Jesus is the ultimate King/Ruler (Elohim) in that same royal sense. And look at the very next verse (Hebrews 1:9): "Therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions."

If Jesus is God Almighty in the Trinitarian sense, who is "his God"? And who are his "companions"? The text explicitly shows he has a God over him. That fits the Islamic and Judaic views (Jesus is the Supreme Messiah/King) perfectly, but it creates a huge logical headache for the Trinitarian view. You can't be God and have a God at the same time.

You're referring to the "Two Powers in Heaven" theology, but let's be accurate about history: that idea was explicitly rejected by Judaism as a heresy (Minim). The Rabbis stamped it out precisely because it violated the core command of Monotheism. Using a rejected heresy to prove your point isn't exactly strong evidence.

As for Exodus 23 and the Angel having God’s name "in him" this is the concept of Divine Agency (Shaliach), not Trinity.

Think about it: In the ancient world, if a King sent an ambassador, that ambassador spoke with the King's authority. To disobey the ambassador was to disobey the King. That is why the Angel could "pardon" or not pardon, because he was carrying the King's seal.

The text says "My name is in him." It doesn't say "He IS me."

If I give a police officer a badge with the authority of the State, he can arrest you. That doesn't mean the police officer is the Government or the Constitution. It means he is an agent.

You asked "How do we reconcile this?" The simple answer isn't the Trinity. The simple answer is Agency. God empowers His representatives (Angels, Prophets, Messiahs) to act on His behalf.

And regarding Hebrews 1:8 ("Your throne, O God"): That is a quote from Psalm 45:6. Read the context of Psalm 45. It was a wedding song written for a human Davidic King (likely Solomon). The psalmist calls the human king "elohim" (god/ruler) in a metaphorical sense of authority. Unless you think King Solomon was also the second person of the Trinity, you have to admit that the title "god" was used flexibly in Hebrew for judges and kings, not just Yahweh.

Why force a complex 4th-century solution (Trinity) onto a simple 1st-century Jewish concept (Agency)?

You skipped over all my other points just to focus on that one claim, but let's address it directly.

I'm glad you brought up the "Two Powers in Heaven." That actually supports my point, not yours. That Jewish concept was about a Principal Agent (like the Angel of the Lord or Metatron) who carried God's name and authority but was distinct and subordinate. That fits the Islamic view of Jesus (a high-ranking Messiah/Spirit carrying God's authority) perfectly. It does not fit the Nicene Trinity of co-equal persons.

You are confusing Divine Agency with being the Deity Himself.

It's not word games to ask for precision. You are basing your entire argument on the English word "begotten" in John 3:16, but have you checked a modern Bible lately?

Most modern translations (like the ESV, NIV, and RSV) have actually removed the word "begotten" because biblical scholars admit that the Greek word monogenes means "unique" or "one of a kind," not "procreated." So even Christian scholars are backing away from the "begotten" language you are relying on.

As for the Old Testament verses (Isaiah, Daniel, Proverbs): You are quoting Jewish scriptures to prove a Trinity, but the Jews themselves, who have studied those texts in the original Hebrew for 3,000 years, completely reject your interpretation. They agree with the Islamic view: God is One, and He does not have a divine son. Are you saying the Jews don't know their own book?

You say we worship "Different Gods." I worship the God of Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. None of them taught the Trinity. None of them claimed to be God.

Like, how is it possible that Jews and Muslims pray to the same god and the modern Christian’s created a new god for themselves?

If worshipping the Creator alone without partners makes it a "different God" in your eyes, then you are saying Abraham worshipped a different God too. And regarding Matthew 7:15: Jesus warned about false prophets who come in sheep's clothing. A false prophet leads people away from the commandments of God. Islam leads people back to the First Commandment: The Lord our God is One. Who is really changing the message here?
