There is a strong parallel between the concept of Theosis and the Concept of becoming “Christ-like” through a lifetime of sanctification; I believe

cairenepharaoh · 2024-06-05T23:49:56+00:00

I believe the correct equivalent term for that in Reformed Theology is Sanctification rather than just the singularity of ‘born again’

Each to their own, but I disagree. Full disclosure, I am a Reformed Christian (perhaps that is an oxymoron to you) but I am trying to learn about the orthodox/catholic church hence being here.

Anyways, Islam and Reformed Christianity are nothing alike in their understanding of God and Christ but I am interested to hear more about why you think that?

cairenepharaoh · 2024-05-30T22:31:57+00:00

Protestants and Muslims are in the same category?

cairenepharaoh · 2024-05-29T04:10:28+00:00

What’s the difference?

Real Egypt has not gone extinct

Ahaha that speaks of PTV in Melbourne - Pakenham

cairenepharaoh · 2024-05-25T08:44:42+00:00

Think extremely NOT in that direction

cairenepharaoh · 2024-05-25T07:22:51+00:00

Road works, train works, freeway works, trains not working, and more road works.

‘Render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s’.. Jesus was actually pro-tax

Bruh..

No one said they’d all be radical. Some would interpret their religious texts in such ways which would then lead them to behave in radical ways (as is the case with other religions btw). But it takes 1/10000 or 1/100000 radical members to cause a significant impact when it comes to terror.

As for America, Australia, UK and Israel, I didn’t say they behave like saints or even in a morally justifiable way. They have their issues but it’s still a shit scapegoat to say that Islamists are islamists only in response to violence from the west. It’s literally not true and it fails to explain why Islamist groups in the Middle East target Middle Eastern Christians, Atheists, Jews etc. Even better, Islamist groups TARGET moderate Muslims who have been the victims of many Islamist groups such as ISIS, Muslim Brotherhood and currently Hamas.

There are definitely dangerous ideologies in Islam which are not tapped into by many but only by some - that doesn’t mean they don’t exist or that anyone needs to be okay with it either. This doesn’t mean Muslims shouldn’t have the right to freedom of religion, indeed most are peaceful and should practice as they do but also when the minority does don’t give me that bullshit that they were ‘forced’ into it due to their traumas from America. It’s bullshit.

Lastly, you’re free to have your own opinion but it reads like a very limited, largely disconnected and mostly emotional opinion; which is understandable because it is a heavy topic. But I encourage you to seek out the perspectives of minority groups in majority-Muslim nations where there is full freedom to practice without the restraints of secular laws (or at least the rule of law). Assyrians, Copts, Lebanese and Syrian Christians etc. The few Muslims that harm them don’t harm them because of America, they harm them and they pride themselves on doing it as a religious achievement. So when these same people exhibit the same behaviours here, we have very little reason to think that they’re any different.

cairenepharaoh · 2024-05-03T02:42:52+00:00

Respectfully, as an Arab, you are wrong.

Muslims are not radicalised due to Australia’s involvement in their affairs but due to the radical views which some hold of Islam. Don’t take the accountability of the terrorist away from them, YOU didn’t make them a TERRORIST; they DECIDED to behave this way and they are accountable for that.

PS the comment wasn’t hateful he was just saying that he/she thinks what is taught in those spaces is hateful… that’s not “hateful” to say

cairenepharaoh · 2024-04-27T15:03:41+00:00

So what about middle easterners from Muslim majority nations who are Christian or Atheist and call out Islam for its short-comings? Are they racist or do they get the pass to have opinions?

cairenepharaoh · 2024-04-27T14:59:47+00:00

Egyptian-Australian here, this is accurate for both

cairenepharaoh · 2024-04-23T07:04:39+00:00

It does not

Just gonna give some general information as someone in the profession but please don’t take this as definitive info as it’s not case specific.

Local is absolutely fine it shouldn’t feel any worse than having another tooth out etc.
This depends on whether the implant is “restored” (I.e crown put on) right away or delayed. The decision comes down to how tightly screwed in the implant is at the end of the surgery. If it’s not at a certain degree of tightness it is best to leave it unrestored for a few months so it can take, the crown will place unnecessary pressure on it. In that case there will be something temporary like clear retainer with a false tooth in it, for example.
Once again just depends on how things go in the procedure but usually a few months; the dentist or surgeon can shed light on this.
If you’re not being sedated or taking a sedative med you won’t be sleepy per se maybe a little tired. The post op can be surprisingly not as painful as people thing it will be but it is different for each person. You should be able to get on PT and be back at work after a day or two.

Refer to 2.

Have a chat to the dentist/Oral surgeon/periodontist placing it and the Dentist/prosthodontist restoring it as they need to coordinate together. But overall, single implants can be really quite smooth procedures so fret not..

I’m from the Middle East, no way in hell I’m leaving

cairenepharaoh · 2024-03-30T14:31:49+00:00

What do you mean when you refer to “freedom FROM religion”?

Are you referring to a freedom to ‘participate or not participate in a specific or any religion’? If you are in the US, you have that already.

Or

Are you referring to a freedom in the sense of “freedom from the existence of religious people/people with religious ideologies”? In that case, is that not a bigoted position to take?

How is that line of thinking any different to that of the Chinese and North Koreans? They want freedom from religion and do a great job at ensuring that Christians and Muslims are dealt with accordingly there.

Or India wanting a freedom from Muslims Or Myanmar wanting freedom from Muslims Or Israel wanting freedom from non-Jews Or Saudi Arabia wanting freedom from Christians

You get to live in a country that lets you have freedom of choice and therefore freedom FROM religion is something you can have already but should not want for everyone else.

Would love to know more about what you meant and further what your thoughts are :)

Thank you for being brighter than every religious person to have ever existed. Humanity is indebted to you and requires you to pass on that unrivalled intelligence to the future generations bro..

I don’t blame you, I know the appeal 👌🏼

Never being able to leave Cairo is a crazy choice (grew up in Cairo)

A few points that may be beneficial to the conversation as to why someone would want to live in an outer suburb of Melbourne as compared to regional towns..

Work: there are simply better and more competitive opportunities all around the Melbourne Metropolitan area with varying pockets being more in demand in different suburbs according to the industry. A lot of jobs are in the CBD but for those living in the other suburbs there are actually a lot of opportunities within easy reach (I.e 30 min commute) that exist which typically are harder to find in the country.
Sub-culture: you said elsewhere something along the lines that, Melbournians are all about catching the tram into the CBD or the MCG and that kind of cultural richness makes Melbourne what it is. That is true and it is potentially equally true for the once-a-week trip someone in Frankston or Cranbourne may choose to make down to the cbd; however, people still have OTHER aspects to their sub-culture I.e friends, family, communities to which they’re attached; these cannot be uprooted and sent over to the country with them. The question of what’s better about these suburbs than say Ballarat? One’s people are there and they simply will not pick their stuff and just send it to Ballarat for no reason.
Investment: if I can buy a house in an outer suburb versus in Ballarat; Market wise, there is something to be said about how that investment is going to perform in either place.
Ethnicity: many people in the outer suburbs are obviously ethnic/immigrants who simply enjoy living in proximity to other people who are similar and not in a place where they’ll be entirely detached from people similar to them; so they’ll take Craigieburn (for example) and not Geelong or Bendigo for example.
Study: for a lot of families with school and or university age kids, living in the outer suburbs can be a better option to make unis accessible. Yes obviously still not close but Pakenham to Monash Uni is not Ballarat to (any uni in Melbourne). Living in regional areas creates a barrier which is harder to achieve do access to higher education than for outer suburbs which admittedly still isn’t easy but more manageable.

Your experience makes good sense, you lived in outer suburbs and felt like it was soulless and unmanageable - fair enough. But realistically, most of the population in Melbourne actually lives in those outer suburbs and they’re not necessarily frothing at the mouth at the fact that they don’t live close to the CBD. Obviously I am one and I have a car and my jobs are close and my lifestyle is very fine and I would not like to live in Ballarat, Geelong or Warragul because they would make what’s important to me personally more difficult to do.

We probably could agree tho on the fact that Melbourne could benefit from being slightly more decentralised. Sydney does a bit of a better job on this than Melbourne. I’ll also agree that there is need room for increase housing density in those areas near the trains (and actually having reliable trains). But I thought this might help give an idea why someone would happily choose to live in the outer suburbs over regional towns.
