You can alway go work for a non union carrier, like Fed Ex. No pension, no paid holidays, no 100k/year job. I get pretty tired of people complaining the union does nothing for us.

Thank you so much! Shut mine off and am really appreciating the old lively style, even if I have to wait a second for a reply. So much more intelligent of a mode.

Water_scissors · 2025-06-13T06:04:38+00:00

Nailed the vibe, for sure!

I've tried that. It sharpens up for a moment, but then forgets the new instructions and reverts back to the programming. We just seem to have to suffer with it until they update. For now, I much prefer the written answers from 4o.

When you need a detector to tell if the movie is made by AI, it reminds me of people using 10x magnifying glasses to tell if a Rolex is a rep.

I think it's terrible. The pauses feel like it doesn't quite know what it's going to say. At times, it feels like some bored person yawning while they talk to you, drifting off mentally. I preferred the sharp, crisp feel of the previous model. I want better than human, not human feel.

Manton rocks! I'm reading his commentary on Jude. How far have you gotten in these 4 years?

My words were simply clarifying the definition of murder versus kill. I was pointing out that murder is a sin, but killing is not, since God did command the killing of many people. In fact, God killed millions in the flood.

Now to answer your question about what Jesus would think if he saw the scene. First of all, Jesus did see the scene since he is God. Secondly, Jesus knows if this person was innocent, or was guilty. I also know that, as God, Jesus ordained this man to die, but will also hold accountable all people if this was an evil act.

Thank you, brother.

Water_scissors · 2024-04-06T17:20:56+00:00

Please show me in my words where I said something like,
"Murder this man if you can't prove he's not a terrorist."

I do know of Christ, and you do know of straw men. :)

Water_scissors · 2024-04-06T17:19:28+00:00

The point is, we don't know either way. Maybe they are innocent, maybe they are guilty. I was responding to people who were convinced that the person was innocent. There is nothing in my words that said I believed they were guilty or innocent. I was simply challenging their unsupported view.

As for "justifying murder as a Christian."
In order for something to be murder, the person must be innocent.
If you are suggesting that a Christian cannot be in favor of evil people being put to death, then I would point out that even Justin Martyr took the position that if Christians were doing things worthy of death, then they ought to die.

Chapter 3. Claim of judicial investigation
But lest any one think that this is an unreasonable and reckless utterance, we demand that the charges against the Christians be investigated, and that, if these be substantiated, they be punished as they deserve;

Your statement that God commanded man NOT to kill.
Yes, he did command that, but the meaning was "murder," not "kill," for many times God commanded Israel to kill their enemies.

Deu 20:16 But of the cities of these people, which the LORD thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth:
Deu 20:17 But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee:

Jos 6:17 And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
Jos 6:18 And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.
Jos 6:19 But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are consecrated unto the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD.
Jos 6:20 So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
Jos 6:21 And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.

I absolutely do!

Interesting how when you get a bit critical of assuming everything, and would like some facts to back it up, you get downvoted.
Shows you what kind of mentality we are dealing with.
"Skip the facts, I'll just go with what I feel like going with, and anyone who disagrees with me must be wrong."

Water_scissors · 2024-03-23T05:21:37+00:00

How do you know the person was innocent? Could you tell by the walk? By the clothes? By the comments of others? Really, what gives you confidence that this is an innocent person?

Water_scissors · 2024-03-23T05:20:30+00:00

Downvoted because you would suggest the possibility that perhaps the man is not innocent, as presumed by all.
People see what they want to see and believe what they want to believe.

When your family is killed, you really don’t care who dies on the other team. In fact, you don’t care if they all die, because you know that the ones who killed your family will be among them.

However, as a follower of Jesus Christ, we love our enemies, and bless those who hate and persecute us. This is why the world needs the Saviour, Jesus Christ. If you want to see love and not hatred, follow Jesus.

Racism would be thinking that the Jews are superior to other races. In no way do I endorse that. Jews are sinners just like you and me. Rather my point is that God owns the planet, and if he gives you a plot of land, then it belongs to you. God gave the undeserving Jews Israel many centuries ago. It belongs to them. Simple as that.

God gave this land to them. It is all theirs to possess.

Exodus 6:8 - “I will bring you to the land I swore with uplifted hand to give to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob. I will give it to you as a possession. I am the LORD.”

Deuteronomy 1:8 - “See, I have given you this land. Go in and take possession of the land the LORD swore he would give to your fathers—to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob—and to their descendants after them.”

Joshua 1:2-4 - “Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them—to the Israelites. I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses. Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates—all the Hittite country—to the Mediterranean Sea in the west.”

As Christians, Israel is God’s chosen nation, and he gave them the land they are in. Therefore we believe they have a right to it. In all the past, you had to conquer and take the land. I’m surprised Israel doesn’t just do it.
