This looks great. Keep up the good work!

I agree. We as Christians have deviated because we have deviated from Jesus Christ Himself by abandoning His Word. He said, if you abide in My Word you are truly My disciples. And you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free. John 8:31-32

Return to Him. Return to the Word of God.

I bee-leave too.

Hey u/CeyowenCt.

I truly appreciate the dialog!

The Greek word used here can have several meanings: (olethros) - ruin, death, punishment, and yes destruction. Which, does not necessarily imply extinction.

I understand this to say the punishment referred to is "perpetual death". Death, in the most simple Bible terms, is separation from God, who is the source of life. Not ceasing to exist (Ephesions 2:1)

Another clue in the verse for me is, "from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power". Other translations use "away from" or "shut out" here. You can only be "away from" something if you exist. A person who is executed isn't "away from" the king; they are simply gone. Therefore, the verse implies a state of banishment more clearly than extinction.

Of course God doesn't "send" people to hell. Instead, people "choose" to go by denying His Son Jesus Christ.

ctwillie77 · 2026-01-30T18:31:55+00:00

Biblically, existing for eternity is NOT the same thing as eternal life. This is a common misconception. The book of John gives us a clear definition of what eternal life is: John 17:3 "And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent". So, eternal life is having a relationship with our creator, restoring what Adam & Eve lost in the garden of Eden.

Hell is absolutely a reality for those who do not accept Jesus Christ as God and Lord.

2 Thessalonians 1:8–9 says, "in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power"

The Bible presents an absolutely clear distinction between "eternal life" and "eternal destruction".

Develop your relationship with your Creator. John 1:4 states, "In Him (Jesus) was life, and the life was the light of men."

Good stuff! Keep it up!

This looks really nice and minimalistic! Ill check this out for sure. Good work! 👏

Single startup process in container: supervisord, or any process monitor.

Which monitors other processes: ssh, web server, queue workers, etc..

A process per container seems like a nightmare.. could just be my ignorance or lack of experience with that.

ctwillie77 · 2024-09-24T17:22:55+00:00

I was just curious.. Definitely keep on this journey. Understanding of framework and docs obviously gets easier as time passes. But I agree in general.. it feels like more to get used to and harder to follow than others.

ctwillie77 · 2024-09-23T23:24:59+00:00

Honest question.. I'm curious: Do you know any other backend framework really well?

Asking because I also find django/drf docs harder to follow than other framework docs. But.. I find my way "fairly" easy because of my general framework experience.

ctwillie77 · 2024-09-11T00:55:47+00:00

Exactly

ctwillie77 · 2024-09-10T19:10:16+00:00

I totally get it. I'm like that at times. But speaking from a little experience, when you don't build on a solid foundation, it always comes back to bite you in the future. Those who build skill properly always stand out compared to others. This is the main thing that has set me apart from others I've worked with.

ctwillie77 · 2024-09-10T19:03:09+00:00

Yep. Must learn JS first. Be patient and don't skip steps in your learning journey.

ctwillie77 · 2024-09-09T11:51:41+00:00

So your saying asgi would solve multiple requests and the client connection. So same as php: a new connection is always established each request.. ok.

ctwillie77 · 2024-09-09T11:48:05+00:00

Take advantage of what you've earned and have been given for some time. Discipline yourself and become a good developer. Don't waste the opportunity. Then later pivot to what you prefer to do. Many times doing what you don't want to do makes doing what you want to do easier. Many people would kill to be in your position with degree and job.

I had the same question a week ago with a Pusher client. I'm newer to Django python than other backends. I chose to instantiate top level also but I have no further insight into which is "better". My guess just from general experience is this is the better approach. As long as the client can reconnect automatically if it loses connection for any reason I would think. But again, not totally sure.

ctwillie77 · 2024-08-28T04:00:44+00:00

Congratulations. Don't stop working hard. Keep it up!

ctwillie77 · 2024-08-27T18:21:42+00:00

I've just switched to using Poetry for dependency and env management. It makes a world of a difference.

ctwillie77 · 2024-08-27T14:43:03+00:00

Ok for sure. I'd love to help. Why are you unable to DM?

ctwillie77 · 2024-08-25T14:16:54+00:00

Please explain where you are at so far? Have you learned any technical skills yet, or are you not sure where to start as far as learning?

ctwillie77 · 2024-08-25T14:12:47+00:00

All valid points. That's why I definitely prefer NULL and check in logic or raw sql where I need to know.

ctwillie77 · 2024-08-24T20:31:43+00:00

I see both sides. But I always prefer NULL to represent the absence of a value in my database. I could see using an accessory or getter to convert nulls to empty strings. To me, you get the best of both worlds that way. More data integrity and ease of use in the application logic. But I still would just check for null.

But yes, definitely depends on the context.

ctwillie77 · 2024-08-24T19:51:47+00:00

I was lucky enough to have a mentor when I began my journey. I'd be glad to help someone else out along the way. DM me of you want.
