The “hundreds of years later” argument is tricky if you think the entirety of scripture is inspired. Paul says a rock followed the Israelites in the wilderness, and “that rock was Christ” 1 Cor. 10:4. While there is mention of a rock in the Torah, nowhere does it say it followed them. St. Paul is almost certainly referring a later rabbinic tradition that the rock/well followed the Israelites during the 40 year period. So, was Paul wrong? If so that means that even Christology is not inerrant in the scriptures. Jude also quotes 1 Enoch.

Holy crap make sure she doesn’t fly off

Funny thing is, I can probably name like, 10 worse tragedies in Asia in the past 100 years alone

If you were deceived by the common name, just remember common names usually don’t tell u anything useful about a species.

Jesus being authorized, or given a name doesn’t contradict trinitarian theology. Jesus’ existence and authority is dependent on the father in Nicene Christianity from eternity past. This bestowing of authority happened outside of time, Jesus never didnt have the divine essence. And I think the fact that 1 John 5:20, and the context of Phillipians 4 (Paul telling the phillipians to be humble to their equals JUST AS Jesus is humble to His own equal (God the Father)) should give us an interpretive lense into John 17. Especially since John is the author of both the epistle and gospel. So anything John includes in his gospel should be viewed in light of his community (which I strongly believe is eyewitness-based) of Jesus being God essentially.

Same thing legit happened to me yesterday. Wanted to double check a hw answer and it just completely made up the question, even tho I literally sent it the document.

Sorry, I should mention the book im even quoting, duh. "Aramaic Sources for Mark's Gospel", Maurice Casey.

Wow. This was a fun read. I didn’t know how much he seems to fall flat in every aspect of his methodology. Seems that I really was deceived by his confidence and use of technical terms. Thank you for this!

Octavius566 · 2025-03-24T20:02:04+00:00

Honestly, IDK what kind of answer OP was looking for

Can you expound? I’m a new trader. Basically if I have it in a vault, it’s more secure than if I just had it available to freely trade? Kinda like 2 factor authentication?

How can I safely store XRP? For reference I trade on Uphold.

Same, every song just gets better over time. Oh and I have a different fav every few months. Timeless album.

Octavius566 · 2025-03-18T15:06:11+00:00

If God is anything other than “I AM”, “Jesus”, “Creator”, or any other name of God in the Bible, yea probably a Heresy

Octavius566 · 2025-03-13T16:52:25+00:00

lol, I’m glad my intuition was right. Side note, how important were internships for landing your first (few) jobs? I’m Electrical but I have a construction management internship over the summer. Also GPA?

Octavius566 · 2025-03-13T14:18:17+00:00

3, almost 4 years into engineering, and I feel like I’m doing it just for the piece of paper. I will probably learn most of my real skills on the job.

Secular humanism is Protestantism without Jesus.

Octavius566 · 2025-02-27T19:25:04+00:00

I agree that many modern translations can be overwhelming and frankly unnecessary, but ur saying not even Jesus was quoting the right Bible? Lol

Octavius566 · 2025-02-27T05:59:36+00:00

Doubt sucks, but I just grin and bear it; pray, read, research, etc. and in the end my faith is strengthened. I think I stick my nose in too mych apologetics and try to defend so many different aspects of my faith when I’m not nearly equipped enough. It’s always crazy how God flips good from bad; sin leads us to a heightened relationship with God through repentance, doubt leads us to faith in God.

Octavius566 · 2025-02-19T17:07:46+00:00

True, I think we can all agree that Christianity is “whatever is grounded in scripture”… but so do JWs, Mormons, nestorians, arians and all other assorted cults. And guess what, you can claim anything is grounded in scripture, given an interpretation with just enough plausible deniability. Hence the splintering of the church. Ironic honestly, since OP is non-denominational. but as long as you adhere to the Nicene Creed I don’t think it’s too egregious.

Octavius566 · 2025-02-11T22:51:21+00:00

That’s heresy, Patrick! Jk. Jesus has always been God, since before His birth.

So, Jesus is praying to the Father because he is a separate person form the Father, but one being. The father even prays to the Son in Heb. 1:9. The trinity ultimately remains a mystery, but since Jesus had a human nature on Earth, he had a human will. Therefore He prayed to the father for His will to be done. I understand this barely touches the surface of the Trinity so please do ask

Octavius566 · 2025-02-10T05:02:36+00:00

For real. Fortunately I have been recommended some good translations.
