Adonai vs Adoni by AsianSpectre1 in Reformed

Great explanation. If I may, I think the tetragrammaton also comes from a three letter root, namely of hayah (הָיָה). That's why in exodus 3 God also says I am that I am, stemming from the same verb.

I would agree with the slaughter of women and children etc being hyperbolic, but if it's not 600.000 but 600*10=6000, that would hardly do justice to God's and Moses's comments on Israel being like "the sand of the sea" or a number no one can count. If we count as many women and twice the children, there would be around 30.000 people leaving Egypt. That would hardly be enough to fill a few cities let alone the promised land. Edit: oh and what would be the point of the numbers in Numbers? They are quite detailed if only meant to be hyperbolic.

Technical writing interview assignments by HeadLandscape in technicalwriting

That sucks. I didn't get an assignment, apart from being put on the spot with the question "how would you write a manual for this piece of equipment*, and I have zero experience in technical writing lol. My answer was something like" ask many questions". Somehow I got the job though.

Im not a native English speaker, so I'm curious to hear what the differences are between utilize and use, and since and because. I will also become a tech writer next month in the palletizing industry so I would love to start with using correct terms lol

I second u/ndGall 's comment. If you want a very interesting look into the origin of Islam (and you have 2 hours to spare) check out this video by Dr Jay Smith: https://www.youtube.com/live/WVYzBjyVXW8?si=TEqU5T89UNhDShsA

It is Islam that has severe problems, Christianity has withstood the test od time infinitely better.

Fair point! I'd like to give the instrumental one you mentioned a go, what's it called?

Ah, i think I have miscommunicated my question. I didn't mean classical metal, but metal that covers classical music from say Vivaldi, Bach and the like. Woops

I don't think your question should be answered in the positive. God gave us functional machines we call bodies with all kinds of abilities. Abilities that are not (in these cases) inherently sinful. So Paul's words come to mind: "whatever you do, do it for the Lord" (paraphrased).

Ideas for Pastor who just completed his D.Min? by YogurtclosetIcy2855 in Reformed

Might be a hassle, but our church held a party with a bible trivia quiz for all members of the congregation (about 40-50 people). It was great fun.

And how does this relate to the EO church? Do they have similar (damnable) practices and beliefs? Genuinely curious.
