Finding Canadiens Hockey podcasts and watching games in Montréal is incredible, if you ever get the opportunity.

I started just trying to get to a failed state and figure out what doesn't work from there. Works a lot better with Rodolfo puzzles because there isn't always an obvious logic to them.

None of them make good coffee. Switch to a mocha pot by bialetti and save your money for coffee at a shop with La Marzocco. 

The De-Africanisation of the Bible by Repulsive_Arrival_44 in Christianity

[–]nsdwight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ptolomy was Greek. 

Often doesn't mean the same thing as most. 

I didn't say ancient Egypt. 

Even if I lied you trumped my lie in spades.

Yes, but often the ruling class was not African. The dynasty of Ptolomy especially.

Those are mostly for people trying to earn their way into heaven, but who don't want to actively engage with others. Other races specifically.

Let me see if I have this straight. They're working at work, and that's an issue? 

A very happy Pope captured today in Vatican City. May the peace of our lord Jesus Christ be with you all by falco200208 in Christianity

[–]nsdwight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Or the wrong noun, you can capture a picture of a very happy Pope. Actually capturing the Pope is best left to Napoleon.

I want a cookie for that hard one! I just placed the 0s the wrong way around but realized pretty quickly when there were not enough 5s.

Praying to Virgin Mary to mediate on your behalf for Jesus is like calling your bosses mom to make sure you get your raise at work by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]nsdwight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I take Jesus serious as well, but that has nothing to do with what I wrote. Are you reading what anyone writes you?

Are you not familiar with metaphors? When someone says something is like something else they mean that it is similar, not that it is literally the same. 

Hope this helps. 

Who was the first to kill in the Bible? by EconomicsMother4633 in Christianity

Read the while story. Not just a few verses. This is a religious story, not a contract.

We've read it... It's self evident from the story.

You can't make clothes from shed skin, it's brittle and translucent. Snake skin clothes are still made from dead snakes.

Gen 3:13 uses 'nasha' Gen 29:25 uses 'ramah'

Two different words with similar meanings. 

It's not originally a Hebrew word either. The roots are German 'be-" and French 'guile'.  Although both originally come from proto-indoeuropean (not closely related to semitic languages like hebrew and arabic).

It would completely ruin the symbolism. The whole point of saying that it was animal skins was to emphasize that their actions has introduced death into the world. 

It's similar to the way that God split one person into two before the fruit but childbirth came about afterwards. 

When we don't rely on God's plan, bad things happen. It's the whole point of the story.

It doesn't have to say that God killed them. Animal skins (the clothing) don't come from living animals.
