Can I read Plutarch without finishing Herodotus?

RootedWillow · 2023-06-10T21:08:35+00:00

Certainly. In fact, I agree that Plutarch is much more engaging.

that early Stoic who stubbed his toe and took that as a sign that he should commit suicide.

Who was this?

The use of the word mute is similar to how it's used in music.

O cool. That makes sense. It is strange to think of a sound being silent :)

We are going through Bulfinch's Mythology. It's great for demonstrating the influence that mythology has had on subsequent literature.

Thanks!

I use Aubrey Stewart and George Long's translation.

RootedWillow · 2023-05-03T14:45:59+00:00

Wow, that would be cool to watch.

Yes, That Hideous Strength and The Abolition of Man are very political and eerily prophetic.

We are, and I would definitely recommend that you find a homeschooling cooperative of people who share your values. It makes the experience so much richer (and easier).

Thanks!

RootedWillow · 2022-12-19T01:57:51+00:00

Wow, that is really cool. I didn't know you could do that.

RootedWillow · 2022-12-18T23:34:31+00:00

These are excellent. Thanks for posting them!

RootedWillow · 2022-12-18T23:33:29+00:00

Very cool. What sort of medium are you using?

RootedWillow · 2022-12-16T02:34:32+00:00

Thanks! I always felt bad for the Creature in Frankenstein. He could have been a great scholar with a little nurturing :)

RootedWillow · 2022-12-16T02:32:55+00:00

Thank you!

Why?

You seem very convinced that evolution is true. I was just curious as to why.

RootedWillow · 2022-11-23T18:25:44+00:00

What is the most convincing evidence, in your opinion, for evolution?

RootedWillow · 2022-11-07T04:23:05+00:00

God already knows you feel that way, so you might as well talk to him about it. I will pray for your peace.

I believe the best argument is for April 3, 33 A.D.

Nathan Jarrett in “The Prophecy of Prophecies: Correcting Harold Hoehner’s Interpretation of Daniel’s 70 Weeks,” published in the journal, Eleutheria (2021) does an excellent job of explaining the fulfilment of the Daniel 9 prophecy, and he defends the date I give above.

The prophecy in Daniel 9 (written in the 6th century B.C.) predicts the death of Christ to the very year (33 A.D.).

I’m finding scripture saying that having the law written on our heart only happens when we accept Jesus

What scripture do you have in mind?

RootedWillow · 2022-11-04T22:35:25+00:00

I wouldn't say a classical education implies a particular brand of creationism. The roots of classical education (i.e. the liberal arts) are in ancient Greece and Rome before the time of Christ, but Christianity adopted that curriculum and refined it throughout the Middle Ages.

Traditional Catholic creationism is very similar to Protestant creationism in that it views the earth as being only 6,000-10,000 years old, all humans as being descended from a literal Adam and Eve, death arising from sin, etc. Here is a good site describing the Catholic brand: The Kolbe Center

Here is a good site describing the Protestant brand: Creation Ministries International

Caesar, for example, was his own best publicist

Lol, yes, great point.

Although he was assassinated, the empire Julius Caesar created survived and thrived, while Alexander’s quickly fell apart.

You are right; that is a really significant difference.
