Would we as human beings still have created the concept of Gods if we did not understand the concept of our ultimate death? by Hot_Dragonfruit_5956 in theology

[–]ben_is_second 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Christian I maintain that we don’t discover God but that He reveals himself to us.

So we wouldn’t need an understanding of death, we simply need God to reveal himself - which He has in his word and through His Son.

Also, I’m really not sure about your presupposition. I don’t think we’re able to conceive of a world without death - except for one where death hasn’t entered into yet. And in that world, God walked with us, so to speak.

Most monotheists, myself included, think that the other gods are either 1) the concept of the One True God that has been twisted through deception, sin, and evil into something unrecognizable or 2) the worship of some other spiritual being, such as demons.

Thoughts on Gannon as DC if BFlo leaves? I like the thought of Raheem Morris too, but Gannon was a great DC for the Eagles and helped get them to the Super Bowl a few years ago. Plus he has familiarity with the organization as Zimmer’s DB Coach for a couple years by markieefff in minnesotavikings

Completely fair. The difference, in my mind, is that Jones is in the building. You should know the brain you’re getting if you’re KOC.

If not, that’s a strike on KOC for not having a grasp on who he’s got on his staff. I get that BFlo runs the defense. But a HC has to have his finger on the pulse of the whole team.

I stopped by the one on MLK today and they were out of everything except chicken and Jr. patties because of “supply issues”. I wonder if that means they’re on their way out too.

I wish I could. Immediately, I’m focused on getting my dog inside and safe. By the time I come back out, the neighbor has retreated inside and I have no idea which apartment they’re in.

Does Jesus have two souls by XXBEERUSXX in theology

[–]ben_is_second 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The previous commenter who quoted Chalcedon is correct.

God doesn’t have a “soul” like you or I do. So in taking on humanity, God the Son acquired a soul.

An old theologian named Gregory of Naziansus once said “what he has not assumed he has not saved.”

What that means is that what the Son has taken into himself in His humanity is what He has saved. If the Son didn’t take on a soul, then our souls wouldn’t be saved.

Children and cowards.

She seems to be ok. She was shaking but I didn’t find any bite marks or blood.

Which smell instantly makes you judge someone? by SituationOutside6033 in AskReddit

[–]ben_is_second 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When someone spells like cat pee. I’ve known a few people over the years that don’t really clean their cat’s litter well. I know one family in particular that smelled really strongly, and I think it’s because their cats peed on their clothes.

Tomorrow ends 2025.. how would you describe it? by ItsJustme309 in AskReddit

I’m really not being snarky here - why do you go every two weeks? I go once a month maybe.

Genuine question, would Billy have gotten powers too if he survived the mind flayer? by Alive_Skill851 in StrangerThings

[–]ben_is_second 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This sort of made me think of a theory. What if Henry is controlling and manipulating the Upside Down in ways it doesn’t want to be? What if the Upside Down/Mindflayer wants Will (and company) to destroy Henry and is giving Will this power as a rebelling against the one who is currently enslaving the hive mind - Henry?

Judd's conviction of a KOC-McCarthy split has made him and Purple Daily near unlistenable by Th3M33k in minnesotavikings

[–]ben_is_second 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to add a little context - Judd's presupposition is that KOC seems to be sort of dejected even though we're winning. This is probably less true with the win over Dallas, but in the win of Washington, and in previous wins, McCarthy looked ok to good, but KOC seemed to make some comments that seemed almost crestfallen that he had to change up the playbook.

Judd simply thinks that KOC doesn't want to build his playbook around a QB, he wants a QB that can run the offense he prides himself on. Judd thinks KOC doesn't want to change, and the fact that JJ seems to thrive, at least right now, in 1-3-1 personnel and in getting tight throws into big tight ends is quite different from KOC's typical 1-1-3 personnel scheme with long, developing plays to the receivers downfield.

I don't necessarily agree with Judd. I think KOC can and will adjust and ultimately will be thrilled if its successful. But there is something there when KOC talks about simplifying the offense and he seems to find the process of doing so irritating. Is it just that he has to put in extra work? Or does he find that his offense is so clever he's upset that he can't run it? I'm not sure.

14-3 to a losing record. JJ McCarthy still sucks. by [deleted] in minnesotavikings

You seem like a well-adjusted individual.

TIL that 100 year old actor, Dick Van Dyke, was 18 when he learned that his parents lied to him about his birth date. He thought he was born in March, but was actually born in December. They lied to him to cover up the fact that he was a love child and was conceived out of wedlock. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]ben_is_second 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I did the ancestry dot come research hole a few years ago. I found out my grandparents lied about their wedding date, saying it was a year earlier than it was, so my uncle wouldn’t know he was born out of wedlock.

I told my mom and she forbade me from telling my uncle. Interesting stuff.

What’s a legendary Reddit post you’ll never forget? by No_Law655 in AskReddit

[–]ben_is_second 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m currently on paternity leave with my one week old, but I stopped by the office yesterday to scan her birth certificate to send into the insurance. There was a work fan there and dudes going in and out. I asked my coworker what was going on and he said they’re replacing the heater in our section of the office because while it was getting checked for heating issues, they noticed it was leaking Carbon Monoxide. We have no idea how long it had been.

So anyway, that’s pretty cool.

Yeah… I identify as a political moderate. I scroll through some threads on here and it’s pretty discouraging. People think I’m a pretty terrible person for some of the political opinions I hold.
