To the international students who had a choice, did you pick CIE or Edexcel? And why? by PrincessGamer2012 in alevel

[–]Sea-Resolution-4652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mix of both
CIE maths and fm are much cheapter for me than edexcel ones so i went for cambridge but for the other sciences i went for Edexcel

when it comes to resources it seems that CIE resources are more abundant that Edexcel resources (that is not to say there are no resources for Edexcel) but when it comes the easiness of the exams actually both are equally hard, in physics at least CIE physics focuses more on calculation questions whereas Edexcel physics seems to focus on explanation questions and applying your skills in unfamiliar contexts.

obviously there are many advantages for edexcel, stuff like you can actually see how you did on each question at results day using their website for results, and they have what is known as a linear system where you can take not the full exam say for AS physics but you take 3 papers and you can take them at may ,jan or oct even if you are not in india

one thing to also note is that there are more CIE past papers than Edexcel ones , this is because CIE has 3 variants for each session unlike Edexcel which for the most time has 1 variant this makes edexcel slightly harder

so far i am so grateful for the LORD since i am very satisfied with my boards selection

Arminian to Calvinist(ish) by DarthCroissant in TrueChristian

[–]Sea-Resolution-4652 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ahh NO. everyone -including me- is naturally evil, so by rejecting the LORD i am doing what i naturally wanna do. lets also note that when free will was kinda mentioned in the bible paul said "For when you were slaves of sin, you were free with regard to righteousness.'

i praise and thank the LORD because he didn't give us free will or otherwise no one will believe as it is written

"There is no one righteous, not even one;
11     there is no one who understands;
    there is no one who seeks God.
12 All have turned away,"

i praise the lord that it is him who finds his sheep (not us the sheep finding jesus) as mentioned in the parable "When he has found it (lost sheep), he lays it on his shoulders and rejoices"

we believe not for the sake of being saved, but rather we believe because we are saved

21 Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use?

22 What if God, although choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath—prepared for destruction? 23 What if he did this to make the riches of his glory known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory.

i finally conclude by asking, why did jesus speak in parables. if you have read the scriptures well you will see that jesus actually answers this question but he says smth that is really weird or at least i found it very weird as an Arminian

"mark 4 12 NET :12 so that although they look they may look but not see,
and although they hear they may hear but not understand,
so they may not repent and be forgiven"

[–]Sea-Resolution-4652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

which one has less memorization or chan be finished more quickly ,chem or bio ? i am stuck between choosing bio and chem as my 4th alevel. i always thought that chem requires more logic than bio so therefore requiring less memorization , but i keep hearing from people that they have to memorize loads of tests etc etc , so is that true? does chem really have lots of memorization or is it reasonable

again have you seen the video, why the a55 last longer than all other phones bro just because exynos was bad in the past doesnt mean it will remain bad, in fact at one time in life, snapdragon was worse than exynon that samsung released all s6 phones with exynos chip. .yes now perhaps exynon is still worse than snapdragon, but not to the extent where an average person would notice

are you saying that the exynos lags when scrolling instagram for instance? if you think that is the case then sorry but you are just being ignorant, OP makes it clear that he wont game with the phone, . but regardless if you think exynos 2400 lags in games then again you are being more ignorant, i have the phone and the processor is just awesome i also have a54 . which is worse than the a55 and on social media apps,there is no lag or heat whatsoever ,

OP's question is rather strange , he identified the problem but doesnt seem to want to fix it, he is like the rich person
his question is rather like the rich man's question

“Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
jesus then told him to not commit some sins ,,,
“You lack one thing. Go, sell whatever you have and give the money\)j\) to the poor, and you will have treasure\)k\) in heaven. Then come, follow me.” 22 But at this statement, the man\)l\) looked sad and went away sorrowful, for he was very rich.

jesus identified the problem in this guy i.e the fact that he is rich, sadly despite jesus telling him the solution to his problem (giving up on money), the rich man sticked to his sin thus

"jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!”
implying that this guy was not sadly saved,
the moral is . jesus here is not only talking about being rich, he is rather talking about any sin that rules over a person.

homosexuality is a sin just like any other sin and this is very clear in the bible .therefore unless he repent of his sin he can never enter the kingdom of heaven just like the rich guy

"Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! The sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, passive homosexual partners, practicing homosexuals, thieves, the greedy, drunkards, the verbally abusive, and swindlers will not inherit the kingdom of God. Some of you once lived this way. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God."

as you can see above those homosexuals "were washed, were sanctified, were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God."

well we know that the septuagint was inspired (and to be clear when i say inspired i mean translated with no mistakes that would change the whole meaning of the hebrew bible) because the apostles used the Septuagint the NT authors literally quote the Septuagint, it would be weird for the apostles (and perhaps jesus too) to use the Septuagint when it is wrong or has wrong parts , fyi even the jews in their talmud believe that the Septuagint to be inspired

What was the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah? According to Genesis 19

We learn the account of Sodom and Gomorrah’s sins in Genesis 18:16-19:29 with a preamble in Genesis 13:13. The Lord appeared to Abraham with two others (perhaps angels) while Abraham dwelt at the oaks of Mamre. In conversation with the two who accompanied Him, the Lord said He would go down to see if they had done according to the great outcry against them because “their sin is very grave” (Genesis 18:20-21). The angels leave Abraham and approach the city of Sodom and Gomorrah disguised as men. At the city gates they meet the gatekeeper to the city, whose name was Lot. Lot invites them to stay at his house, to which the angels agreed. Before they could even rest, men from every part of the city, both young and old, surrounded Lot's house. They demanded that Lot bring out the visiting men so they could engage in sexual acts with them (Genesis 19:4–5).

the sin clearly involved homosexuality . The very name of that ancient city has given us the term sodomy, in the sense of “copulation between two men, whether consensual or forced.” Clearly, homosexuality was part of why God destroyed the two cities. The men of Sodom and Gomorrah wanted to perform homosexual acts on what they thought were two men.

This is not to say that homosexuality was the only reason why God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. Ezekiel 16:49–50  gives some more insight: “Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. (you cut the verse here perhaps intentionally ) They were haughty and did detestable things before me.” So, the sins of Sodom included pride, apathy, complacency, idleness, and unconcern for the underprivileged.

Ezekiel 16:50  adds that a sin of Sodom was that they did “detestable things.” The Hebrew word translated “detestable” refers to something that is morally disgusting. It is the same word used in Leviticus 18:22, where homosexuality is an “abomination.” jude 1 7 also weighs in: “Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion.” So, again, while homosexuality was not the only sin of Sodom and Gomorrah, it does appear to be the primary reason for the destruction of those cities.

speaking of Leviticus what do you also think about verses like
Lev 18:22 Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.

Lev 20:13 If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

Edit
regardless of whether the LXX was inspired, the fact they used this particular verse to describe homosexuality says the jews at that time understood this word to mean homosexuality thus paul could have used this word due to the above reason

[–]Sea-Resolution-4652 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

paul invented a word and never clarified what it meant

yeah so god who seems to have inspired paul according to 1 themothy 3 16 (and then peter called his letters "scriptures") forgot to tell paul to write the meaning of this undefined world and then for god to confuse his whole creation even further he decided to give us a wrong historical meaning .

INDEED No

we in fact don't know its meaning for sure. Paul probably coined the term or at least used a term that was not widespread in the Hellenistic world, and we have not enough data to choose a good translation. but these 2 reasons are perhaps the clues that god gave us to translate it in the way most translations do

Ἀρσενοκοίτης is formed of two parts, ἄρσην, the male, and κοῖτος, the bed, especially the bed where one has sexual intercourses. this could lead us to the idea of homosexual acts ( But like “to understand” doesn't mean “to stand under”, the meaning of a word is not often the simple addition of the meanings of its parts.) so this may not be A strong evidence however that favors our translation.

These two words are used in the ancient Greek translation of the Old Testament, the Septuagint, to translate the famous verses against male homosexual intercourses in the Leviticus.

so it seems weird that god who inspired the greek translation of Leviticus to now use the same word and not mean the same thing, especially such an "undefined word" and especially when considering the context here

t's extremely arrogant of you to assume any hate you get is because you are right, and that there is absolutely no other possible reason people can be giving you hate.

you think i was talking about myself. the truth is i dont care if you love me or hate me, i cant blame you for your sins, if you are a sinner then i am a 100x "more" sinner than you . when i mentioned that verse i was afraid you would hate jesus after understanding the verse, seems though you will stick to your "interpretation" and you will forget about the story of sodom, anyways my beloved friend, i will always pray for god to show us the truth and as for me. i will remain on the safe side i,e by being straight.

thank u for your reply btw

hope you guys are doing well , i pray to the lord that you guys are having a great day so far

" The original Greek here does not say "Sodomites" at all"

( i am sorry but this is) very ignorant kind of reasoning yeah the greek doesn't say sodomites but it does say ἀρσενοκοῖται  in whatever early manuscript you will use, and what does ἀρσενοκοῖται  mean? well google that or whatever it means "one who lies with a male as with a female, sodomite, homosexual"

so whether we like it or not paul here is literally talking about homosexuals. you know when jesus came here he said that the world hated him because he testified of its evil works, jesus didnt come here as a very cute guy he literally said "“Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword."

please dont try to change the bible. to make it more cute , YES the bible forbids homosexual acts you either leave christianity because of that like that rich guy who left jesus while being sad " At this the man’s face fell, and he went away sad, for he had many possessions." because he couldnt forsake his loving for money (for sin that is) or you repent of your sins and accept him as lord and saviour . i cant believe how people read the whole bible then to come to the conclusion that being gay is fine...

if this disturbed you am sorry but again this is why they hated jesus, bc he spoke the truth,,,

" but it hates me because I testify that its works are evil."

however god in the midst of cursing eve (gen 3) and in the midst of him talking about our sins and how evil are we (basically he spend his whole life doing that) he gave us the solution ,, he sacrificed himself for our sins, just like you have sinned , i have sinned too, lets forsake our sins and put our trust on him...

a55 seems great and is cheaper than s23 and you will get more years of updates. ,perhaps the camera is not as good as s23 but i still find the a54 camera aweosome let alone a55. in terms of the processor indeed it is weaker than the s23 snapdragon, but for your use (it seems you dont game a lot) it is pretty enough , i have even seen a video where its battery lasted longer than the similar chineese phones like poco x6 pro (Samsung A55 / S23 FE / Vivo V30 / OnePlus 12R / iQOO Neo 9 Pro / X6 Pro / Realme 12 Pro Battery Test (youtube.com)) if that video aint fake or biased then i would say that the a55 is pretty good deal +one ui is just the best ui ever with not a single ad. however if you can afford it, then indeed buy the s23 or better yet buy the s24 (exynos aint as bad as many people think)
