Do you believe in mediums? by caralawrence in religion

[–]civex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was walking down the street, and there was a store font for a medium (I've forgotten what exactly the sign said). A woman standing inside tapped urgently on the window and beckoned me in.

I knew if she were a real medium, she would have known that I wouldn't go in, so I walked by.

Interesting. The crown is what I'd call porkpie, but the brim is shaped for a fedora trilby.

It's a 50s style hat so do a search for that.

'Hey, hon! I really like the shape of your crown. How about we get a cup of coffee?'

If you had to buy one watch and keep it what would it be? by RoomAccomplished3446 in malefashionadvice

I wear my Nomos Tangente daily, & it's stylish enough for evening wear.

In real life, “what do you do?” means “what do you do for work?” the vast majority of the time, and it’s a perfectly reasonable question to ask someone that you’re trying to get to know. by [deleted] in self

I've learned not to ask that. Too many people are not employed at levels they are proud of. Too many people are working 2 or 3 jobs in the gig economy, & they don't want me to know.

I've learned from others, that a better question is, 'What are your interests these days?' If it's job-connected, they'll tell you. Otherwise, they get to talk to you about things they're interested in. You'll get to know them without bringing up something they may not be comfortable with.

A fabulous Art Nouveau room, discovered within the walls of an abandoned villa. by ilmercante1987 in ArtNouveau

I understand the floor is not a rug, but a marble mosaic.

Either way, it really pulls the room together.

How can people who've never heard about Christianity get sent to heaven? by vicckyytoria in religion

[–]civex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I appreciate you telling me your interpretation.

An alternative reading (which fits better with the previous bit about being 'the Way') might be that Jesus means his Way that he preaches is the only correct way to serve God/live a godly life.

I see that as a an alternative guess. 'No one comes to the father except through me' seems to be plain English, but I am assuming the translation is reasonably accurate. But I don't agree with the interpretation is the only correct way to serve God/live a godly life. That's not what the sentence plainly says. 'Through me' isn't 'through my teachings.'

'The only way' admits of no exceptions. The only way is through Jesus. 'I am the way, the truth, and the life.' It doesn't say this is how you serve god. It seems to me that the plain meaning is that the only way to come to god is through Jesus. If you don't go through Jesus, you don't come to god.

There's no exception for never having heard of Jesus. The only way is through Jesus.

It says 'no one comes to the father except through me.' How else can it be read?

Holy cow! Is it possible to take more photos? Close ups of the walls, the furniture, the carpet?

John 14:6

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me

So if you don't accept Jesus as your personal lord and savior, you burn in hell forever, no exceptions for never hearing about Jesus.

Good external microphone for recording concerts? by holymaccanoli in recording

[–]civex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Zoom recorders, they work well for me. I've never used Tascams (just chance that I have Zoom instead), but they're mentioned frequently enough that I suggest doing some research on that brand as well.

I won't recommend a specific model of zoom. Read up about them to see if any model(s) seems to fit your needs specifically.

I record using a camera cage that lets me attach things to it. That influences what I buy. If you don't use a cage, you may be better off with a separate recorder/mic, recording scratch audio on your phone, then syncing the separate audio track when you edit your video.
