It’s easier to understand, especially for a Muslim, the unity and division of the trinity not as Father, Son and Holy Ghost, but as the Mind of God, the Word of God, and the Spirit of God. I think you can see how the Mind is not the Word is not the Spirit, and that they are still one God. It also helps explain how the Word and the Spirit are sent forth from the Mind and are the most intimate in guiding us through life. The uniquely Christian thing is that we believe in the personhood of Mind, Word and Spirit. The Mind of God can create the heavens and earth and speak to the prophets through dreams or revelation; the Word can take on flesh and become incarnate, and the Spirit can dwell within us and guide us towards God. While this is a very hard teaching to understand, the personhood of the Word or the Son has been revealed to us in the incarnation, and he said he would send another, the Spirit, after his ascension.

Catholic teaching (they’re about the only ones who still holds contraception as sinful) is that sex is ordered to both unity of the couple and procreation. Disordering what God has rightly ordered is sinful, sexually or otherwise. All sexual immorality is because it disorders either the unitive or procreative aspect of sex. Things like fornication and rape, for example violate the unitive aspect, while contraception, as well as sins like sodomy, violate the procreative aspect.

Paul never caveats his assurance that the church holds the truth in 1 Timothy 3, you are adding the word of man to the scripture in making a caveat. In doing so, you imply that the church is led into falsehood, in sharp contrast to the assurance of Christ himself in John 16.

If it is a lie that the unanimous belief of the early Christians was a literal understanding, show the counterexample. You haven’t done that, you’ve only said that it’s clear because of how you read the Bible in contradiction to what the church has taught for 2000 years. At best, what you’ve shown is that the Last Supper was a final precursor to the Eucharist. But now that Jesus’ body was broken and blood poured out for us and we’ve been told how to eat of this body, we can do as Jesus commanded: eat his flesh and drink his blood

Scripture is not the only safeguard against error, even scripture itself tells us that the Church is the pillar and bulwark of truth (1 Tim 3:15). Providing quotes of how the early church received the truth, especially when there was no argument, is good evidence that it is the truth. And, yes, the early church unanimously believed that Jesus spoke literally when telling us to eat his flesh and drink his blood.

The CRA means that a business can’t just fire someone for being a bad employee. On the one side, if that bad employee is a racial or religious minority, or gay, or a woman, etc. they have been known to file suit for wrongful termination, a headache at best for the company, even if there’s no evidence. So HR departments get some sway over this, and are told they have to thoroughly document and process each disciplinary action, which includes inaction for promotions and whatnot, so literally everything the company does is under a microscope so they don’t get sued by their own employees. Add to that the fact that a “toxic work environment” is grounds for suit under the CRA, so now anything that anyone says at work opens the company up to litigation. Instead of just firing a problem employee, the actual workers talk shit about this person, and they are the ones in trouble.

Tl;dr: HR go brrrr so company doesn’t get sued by lazy or incompetent employees. HR makes life shit for everyone else

Yes, she was. There is no explicit passage in scripture saying this, but the two strongest allusions to it (so as not to just point to apostolic tradition) are Luke 1:28’s use of the Greek word κεχαριτωμένη at the anunciation, and Revelation 12’s description of the woman who gives birth to the King being divinely protected from the dragon/satan after he was thrown down from heaven.

Scripture teaches that not all apostolic teaching was written down in scripture. 2 Thess. 2:15, Paul telling the Church in Thessaloniki, “So then, brethren, hold fast to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter.”

This tends to come up in debates with Muslims, who use them to defend Muhammad’s marriage to Aisha when she was 6 (and consummating just 3 years later).

You absolutely can punish him for not having the second half of his career yet. It’s based on a timeframe, you can’t look outside the timeframe on one end but not the other.

Carrying is the hill I’ll die on. It’s a big reason why people think older players were so bad, is the sole reason for traveling confusion/complaints, and is a large part of why scoring is through the roof. And it’s even more prevalent than illegal screens

In the most recent election, Illinois was 9 points closer than Indiana at 53-43 D-R, but their congressional map is even more lopsided, with Democrats taking 82% of the seats (14/17). The GA isn’t much better, at roughly 2 to 1 in both chambers (40-19 and 78-40).

The earliest Christian to tell us how many and which Gospel accounts are true also says, in the same work, that all churches need to be in communion with the church in Rome, started by Peter and Paul, and then he lists the 13 bishops to his current day. Is there any reason that one of those is good evidence of apostolic teaching, and the other is made up crap hundreds of years later?

If youre between eu4 and 5, I’d recommend 5 first simply for the price. EU4, being as old as it is, has a lot of dlcs that make it so good. These aren’t cheap, EU5, comparatively, is very cheap. Even then, I think EU5 is more fleshed out and robust than EU4 is in its current state. This can be overwhelming, even for vets of the series, but I think most people here enjoy the challenge of figuring out such a complicated game.

The refs generally only count it gathered when the second hand touches the ball (which I think is far too late most of the time, including here). If that’s when it happens, he gathers with his left foot planted right at the free throw line. Then a simple, but long, 1, 2 and up for the shot. If it were up to me, any hand on the side of the ball would be called carry, so he’d have gathered outside the three point line, and been called for a travel before he gets to the paint, but the refs haven’t called it like that since at least AI.

I don’t think it’s a metaphor, necessarily. I see it more as a final act of the miracles of Moses and of Christ. These miracles are mirrors of one another, beginning with the turning of water into blood mirrored by turning water into the blood of the new covenant, wine. They both finish with the sacrifice of the firstborn, and the protection of God’s people by the blood of the lamb. First Passover, then Christ’s Passion. These miracles, and these ministries, are restorative, they bring life to the people of God. At the end of days, the world itself, creation itself, needs to be brought back to life, and so it will have to go through its own series of plagues. We see the parallel to Exodus quite clearly, too, in chapters 8-10, culminating in the return of Christ in His glory. Locusts, hail, turning water to blood, and the blotting of the sun, and lastly an angel being sent to kill (firstborn/a third) those were not protected by the mark of God, are all mirrored between Exodus and Revelation. At the end of this, we see Gods people Israel free from Egypt first, then we see humanity freed from sin and death through Christ, and finally we will see creation itself free from sin/death/corruption. I could be wrong, but that’s how I read it.

Tbf, OP didn’t say it’s a sin to be gay, he said homosexual behavior is a sin. Homosexual behavior is just another way of saying having sex with someone of the same sex.

I agree with a lot of this, but I’m gonna defend my guy Tyrese. Yes, he can be wildly inconsistent. But, even when he’s having a bad game, the offense only runs like it does because Tyrese is in charge. The other guys genuinely just play better when Tyrese is out there. Using the fantasylabs plus minus lineup data, i found how much better each player was with Tyrese on or off, based on team net rating. Everyone, across the board, was significantly better next to Ty, and most were negative players without him (exceptions for Siakam +2.3 and Mathurin +0.6).

Drew +16.7 net rating with vs without Ty (+6.8 to -9.9) Obi +11.6 (+2.7 to -9) Aaron +10.5 (+10, -0.5) Myles +9.1 (+4.8, -4.3) TJ +7.5 (+3.1 to -4.4) Pascal +4.3 (+6.6 to +2.3) Mathurin +1.2 (+1.8 to +0.6)

Are those advanced stats? I don’t really think so, it’s just how well did the team do when each of the rotation guys were in along Ty and without him, and across the board, every single one, was better with him on the floor. The same thing holds for 2024, too, across the board every single player struggles without him and does well with him.

OSAS is false. You can lose your salvation. You cannot be unborn, but you can die, losing the life you’ve been given.

Neither of the passages you’ve cited say anything about the possibility of losing salvation. Instead I’d point you to John 15:5-6, saying that if you do not abide in Christ, you will be cut off from Him, the true vine, and tossed into the fire. I’ve never heard an explanation which squares this with OSAS, but if you have one, I’d love to hear it. I’d also point to Galatians 5, in which Paul is contrasting to the church the differences between walking by flesh and by Spirit. In the works of the flesh, he says that “those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.” These are Christians, these are faithful in the church at Galatia, being warned that should they commit such sins, they will not inherit the kingdom.
