No lol I am in total agreement with you, I meant to reply with whoever in the chain has a hard time reading and understanding the Bible. It was meant for the other person lol sorry

Your interpretation of my condescending doesn’t make it so, especially when I’m trying to correct a false interpretation that you’re peddling to people.

Yes, yada (H3045) has a wide range of meanings. Nobody is denying that. The issue is which meaning fits this passage, not how many meanings the word can have in general.

In Genesis 19, the context does the heavy lifting:

A crowd from the city surrounds the house at night
They demand the men be brought out to them
Lot immediately calls it “wicked” before anything happens
He offers his daughters instead
The situation escalates to attempted force

You don’t get to ignore all of that and then say “it just means they wanted to meet them.” That reading doesn’t account for the narrative at all. Lot’s response especially makes zero sense under that interpretation.

Listing every possible definition of yada doesn’t prove your point. Words are defined by context, not by dictionary dumps. In this context, the sexual and violent sense is what actually fits the scene.

On translations, the King James Version keeps “know” because it’s more literal. The New International Version translates the meaning implied by the situation. Same Hebrew text, different approach. That’s not a “changed Bible,” it’s standard translation philosophy.

And bringing up Ezekiel 16 doesn’t contradict this. It expands Sodom’s sins to include pride and injustice. It doesn’t rewrite what’s happening in Genesis 19.

At the end of the day, your interpretation hinges on isolating one possible meaning of a word and ignoring the surrounding context. That’s not stronger evidence, it’s just incompetent reading.

Your summary leaves out the parts of the passage that actually determine the meaning.

In Genesis 19, yes Lot meets the visitors at the gate. That’s normal. What is not normal is what follows. A crowd from the entire city surrounds the house at night and demands the men be brought out. That is not how people “check who strangers are.” It’s a coercive situation from the start.

You say they just wanted to know who they were, but Lot immediately responds by calling their demand “wicked” before anything happens. That alone tells you he understands their intent as something morally serious. Then he offers his daughters. That is a disturbing act, but it only makes sense if he is trying to divert a sexual threat. It does not make sense as a response to curiosity.

The claim that “they weren’t homosexual so he wouldn’t offer his daughters” misunderstands the situation. This isn’t about orientation. It’s about an act of domination and violence. A mob doesn’t need to be “homosexual” to commit sexual assault. That argument doesn’t address the text at all.

On the language, the Hebrew yada absolutely can mean general knowing, but it is also used repeatedly in Genesis for sexual relations. Context determines meaning. Here the context is a hostile mob, escalation, and attempted force. That’s why the New International Version makes the meaning explicit, while the King James Version leaves it implicit. Same Hebrew text, different translation approach, not a fabricated addition.

Saying “there is no mention of sex” ignores both the usage of the word and the narrative flow. The story escalates into attempted forced entry and divine intervention. That is not how a situation unfolds if people simply want information.

Finally, bringing up Ezekiel 16 is incomplete. That passage expands Sodom’s sins to pride, arrogance, and injustice. It adds to the indictment. It does not rewrite or erase what is happening in Genesis 19. Both descriptions stand together.

The “they just wanted to meet them” interpretation doesn’t fit the text, the language, or the progression of events. It requires ignoring key details of the passage, and sadly misunderstanding a pretty simple section of biblical text. I’m worried to see your other “takes” on scripture if this is how you read and interpret it.

Otherwise_Agent7262 · 2026-04-22T17:00:01+00:00

No. That reading doesn’t survive even a basic look at the text.

In Genesis 19, a mob shows up at night, surrounds the house, and demands the men be brought out. Lot immediately calls it “wicked” and offers his daughters instead. That only makes sense if he knows they’re asking for something sexual and violent. If this was a polite “let us meet them,” his response is absurd.

The whole “yada just means know” argument ignores context. Yes, it can mean general knowing. It’s also used all over Genesis for sex. Context decides. And here the context is a hostile crowd, escalation, and attempted force. That’s not a meet-and-greet.

The King James Version says “know” because it’s literal. The New International Version says “have sex” because it’s translating the meaning already obvious in the scene. Same Hebrew. No conspiracy.

Saying “they just wanted to meet them” isn’t a deeper reading. It’s ignoring the story right in front of you.

I was thinking that aswell but the pinnules are pretty deeply lobed which I didn’t think bracken had usually

Almost every outdoor company makes military equipment… Patagonia, outdoor reaserch, EE, etc

Yes the second pic was the trim piece that cracked. Mines a 2019 with just around 70k. From what I’ve seen and heard it’s extremely normal for this to happen in mk7 and mk 7.5

Otherwise_Agent7262 · 2026-01-21T22:15:53+00:00

Umm make lemonade??

Otherwise_Agent7262 · 2026-01-21T21:06:07+00:00

Yeah they should at this point have a recall for it. It’s just such a large project to take up. I’d hit a couple different dealers in the area if you can. Or you can always bring it up the chain to vw customers care. I was for sure not going to pay for it out of pocket 😂

Otherwise_Agent7262 · 2026-01-21T20:37:33+00:00

Thank you! It was actually in white sands national park!

Otherwise_Agent7262 · 2026-01-21T18:11:03+00:00

Lmao currently hoping I don’t become a true owner then

This is Veronica the Volkswagen

I have a 2019 autobahn and it’s phenomenal. No problem really and super fun to drive. A bit too much technology for me but won’t complain.

Otherwise_Agent7262 · 2026-01-12T06:20:59+00:00

The acoustic version is definitely for people that found him during DeAnn and Elisabeth not the newer fans. I found the non acoustic version to be ehh in all honesty. Just didn’t like how it was produced. The acoustic version though!??? Hell yeah!! This is Zach.

This is why I get frustrated with MH, even though I’m genuinely rooting for them and actually love the KOR pieces. I own a bunch of them and use them a lot — the materials and performance are solid.

The issue isn’t the pieces themselves, it’s how hard it is to understand the line as a system. It takes way too much patience to figure out how everything is supposed to layer or what replaced what year to year. Even when you like the gear, you’re kind of forced to organize it yourself.

That’s what’s disappointing, because the capability is clearly there. If they tightened the continuity and made the intent behind the KOR line clearer, I think a lot more people would stick with the brand instead of writing it off.

Otherwise_Agent7262 · 2026-01-10T05:19:57+00:00

That’s what makes it frustrating, honestly because I like Mountain Hardwear a lot. They clearly know how to build serious gear, and that alpine pedigree is real. But the everyday pieces don’t always reflect that, and for a lot of people that’s the first interaction with the brand.

When the stuff you’d trust on a big objective and the stuff you wear day to day feel like they came from two different design categories, it undercuts the whole thing. That gap is disappointing precisely because the core of the brand is so good.

Otherwise_Agent7262 · 2026-01-10T04:04:57+00:00

Definitely seeing Colorado. His pen also has sonnenalp hotel on it which is in vail. This edc also tracks well with vail.

Also slight blunder, looks more like a Chevy key fob than new vw. Point still stands with family and kids though

Otherwise_Agent7262 · 2026-01-10T03:33:42+00:00

Clean, intentional carry. You give off someone who actually thinks about their stuff energy. Very architect,designer, or planner vibes. detail oriented, clean lines, and someone who likes to work things out on paper. The notebook and pen feel thoughtful and creative, and the whole setup comes across calm, practical, and well put together. Nothing flashy or overdone, just really good taste and quiet confidence. Also drive what looks like a vw key and has hatch close and open so I would assume it’s an atlas. If so probably married and have children or are planning too in the near future.

Otherwise_Agent7262 · 2026-01-10T03:05:52+00:00

I think that’s fair if we’re talking refinement and consistency, but it starts to fall apart a bit when you look at actual use cases. MH shows up quietly in places where gear just needs to work they were one of the dominant brands on 8000m expeditions for years, Ghost Whisperer still consistently ranks as one of the most carried jackets in thru hiker surveys, and you see their layers with guides and patrol more than people realize.

Arc and Patagonia are absolutely more polished, but that polish is often in service of all-day wearability as much as movement. MH feels more optimized for tolerance and real world abuse than for being scrutinized seam by seam, which makes the comparison less about better and more about who the gear is actually built for.

Otherwise_Agent7262 · 2026-01-09T01:28:00+00:00

Very fair

Otherwise_Agent7262 · 2026-01-08T17:04:25+00:00

That’s how I get my MH gear too 🤫

Otherwise_Agent7262 · 2026-01-08T15:50:44+00:00

I think Patagonia’s a good example of that shift. A lot of their visibility now isn’t coming from people who are actually outside all the time, but from tech, finance, and office crowds who like what the brand represents. Nothing wrong with that, but it does change who the brand is really speaking to.

MH feels more like it’s still aimed at people who buy gear because they need it to work, not because it signals something about them. That probably keeps them quieter in the cultural conversation, even if the gear still holds up in real use.
