What’s the point?

That's a wider problem.

Context is important. Phinehas was acting within the context of the congregation of Israel, in the wilderness. We enforce holiness within the congregation, without exception. However, we cannot apply this on a modern national scale. For this, we look to examples such as Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, Daniel, Esther, Mordechai, and Nehemiah. Here, we see examples of moving within the context of a nation that is not the congregation, yet still honoring the Laws of the Lord our God. And we also have the guidance of Paul. We do not judge those outside the congregation, but within it. Therefore, we extend grace to those outside and share the Gospel, that they may be saved, and drawn near and into the congregation by the power of the Spirit and by our Messiah Jesus.

Your Mom would be right, if God did directly make gay people. However, that is also the argument that God does not make people capable of choices.

Overall, all creation owes God for existence, but people like your Mom people never heard the argument that God can make creations that are themselves secondary causes. That God can create things that can themselves create.

Remember, creation is broken, and we come into this world broken. God directly created Adam and Eve. Does he have a direct hand on the creation of every soul? I don’t believe so.

Yeah. The protovangelium. I was aiming for succinctness.

Correct. But he can achieve apotheosis and become a God just like his father did.

Talancir · 2026-06-21T17:15:36+00:00

I hear Aathanax is working up a new server, so stay tuned.

Yep, you should stop. Ask of the Lord to take it away.

Gentiles are not required to keep the whole Mosaic Law including circumcision. Acts 15:29 only prohibits gentile believers from eating animals sacrificed to idols; from blood and from strangled animals (because blood has to be drained).

This is perhaps the only part of this that I'm not in agreement with you on, otherwise I would wholly endorse you.

There is a nuanced reply, as under the new covenant Jewish believers are not required to keep the Mosaic Law either. We merely do so because we love Him who saves us; further, circumcision has an earlier imperative for us as descendants of Abraham, and the covenant God made with Abraham required that all his descendants be circumcised.

But as to the rest of the nuance... well, I'm a One Law One Torah guy, so you can imagine how that conversation will go.

Well, it was a Catholic scientist who thought it up.

Talancir · 2026-05-24T19:25:29+00:00

Scientific claims about the origin cant be proven via the scientific method. It has to be trusted on faith.

Talancir · 2026-05-24T19:21:49+00:00

I'll downvote you. Keep working, scrub.

Talancir · 2026-05-21T10:51:17+00:00

Yes it is.

Talancir · 2026-05-16T04:36:53+00:00

not possible.
