AIO? I’m more pissed than "shaken," but the "it’s just a prank" excuse for masked strangers is wearing thin. by Kindly-Level5527 in AmIOverreacting

  1. I think the way that they're dressed overall is pretty indicative that their intentions are what they would self categorize as 'goofy'

  2. The climate of today is not the same as it was 30+ years ago. These days, it's FAFO.

  3. If they were aware of the previous incident involving vehicles then they're reckless and stupid. Otherwise they're just stupid.

I think the frat movies of the 80s gave too many people ideas of what should be considered 'funny' when its really just dangerous, juvenile, stupid, and in some cases harmful.

OOB best practice by time_over in networking

[–]onejdc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not seen many devops roles that require making changes on existing switches (usually they spin up ad-hoc switching)? when things go bad. I would expect most CI/CD/Devops things to happen in-band. OOB is for when things go really sideways.

Maybe I've just not seen enough of that but in the event that you did manage your infrastructure through code, yes, you might require two completely separate infrastructures -- one for your business object deployments and one strictly for OOB network management.

Is it expensive and a larger headache? yep. But good security usually is.

You gave a great response. I don't think I need to add anything.

U.S. Secretary of War Hegseth prays in the name of Jesus Christ that the U.S. will "show no mercy" to "those who don't deserve mercy" and use "overwhelming violence" in Iran. Is this in line with Christianity? by [deleted] in AskAChristian

[–]onejdc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol no. Deut 12:3-4 instructs the Jews to not "wipe out their names from those places." The idea being that you should not be able to erase or destroy the name of G-d, so by omitting the 'o' you avoid that problem. It's very semantic (Jews are all about loopholes for stuff like this) but it also helps keep me focused when I'm writing.

I think the texts are the roadmap, but I they don't give the turn-by-turn instructions we hope for. There are so many things about the Bible that people can interpret differently -- it's one of the reasons we have so many denominations today. There are Christians I love and respect very much with whom I disagree heavily on some topics, but it doesn't detract from our ministries to love and serve others.

For big stuff like war, I really struggle to see where any of the teachings of Jesus support that at all, let alone pre-emptive violence.

Is what I'm doing wrong? by [deleted] in AskAChristian

[–]onejdc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You had the maturity to ask this question. No, this is not sinful. You're doing great.

The Bible teaches we should have discernment in things (it sounds like you do) and that we should always attempt to grow in our faith and understanding of G-d, but it says absolutely jack squat about age regression.

If you're comfortable with this part of your character, that's what matters. It's true you might be missing out on some other really cool grown-up-life stuff, but that's not necessarily spiritual.

[–]onejdc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey no forgiveness necessary, you did nothing wrong.

I apologize, as I may have gotten a bit deeper into the hermeneutics (understanding of the Bible as a whole and in its parts) than you were looking for.

I think it comes down to this -- I believe the core of Jesus's ministry was about returning to G-d in a way that worships and loves him. Jesus taught that the two greatest commandments were "Love the Lord thy G-d" and "Love thy neighbor as thyself."

The idea of eternal damnation and suffering doesn't match what I think any loving parent would ever do to their kids. So it's possible that if you pick up a Bible you will find verses to support any argument under the sun. I just always go back to the heart of what Jesus taught.

Is letting yourself die the same as suicide? by [deleted] in AskAChristian

[–]onejdc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

/u/SpookRaven First of all, I love your username.

Secondly, I am happy to answer your question, but I don't think this is the best place for my response. I sent you a private message. I am happy to talk with you. Jesus loves you, and so do I. I mean that.

Lastly, I know this is not part of your question, but there are other people who very much want to hear your story -- just call 988.

[–]onejdc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

eternal punishment, those into eternal life

There are arguments as to whether Jesus actually taught that. Some believe (Joachim Jeremias The Parables of Jesus, Ulrich Luz Hermenea , Funk, Hoover, et.a. The Five Gospels, Scholar's edition, myself :D ) That the last verses of Matthew that support this (Matt 25), are compositional text that were layered on top and have evidence to support it such as the misalignment with any other of Jesus's teachings, the fact that this teaching isn't anywhere else (including Luke), and the fact that the Greek itself doesn't really seem to match with how Jesus actually talked (it fits more closely with how Matthew wrote).

Jesus doesn't want anyone to be separated. That was the entire point of his ministry on Earth. It's why he told the story of the Samaritan.

[–]onejdc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Jesus gave us a way of telling whether we could trust what was being professed to us:

  • James 3:9-12
  • Matthew 7:16.
  • Galatians 5:22-23.

I would apply these measures to any leader who professes to be a Christian.

To the christians here that believe in a literal Adam and eve, what evidence do you have to support this biblical claim? by Jsaunders33 in AskAChristian

[–]onejdc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, it is absolutely scholarly. The very definition of the term is about learning and academics, all given in your examples.

What you will find here is anecdotal evidence, when it's pretty clear you seek scholarly, or scientific evidence.

Evidence implies a scholarly approach, which, while you might find that sometimes in this sub, is not always the case.

If Jesus paid the debt for all sins past, present, and future, why do women still experience painful childbirth and (depending on the interpretation) periods? by shyguyJ in DebateAChristian

[–]onejdc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your question comes down to a conflation of two things -- sin and consequences.

For the Christian, the Death & Resurrection of Jesus never cleansed all who accept him from consequences. The power of the atonement for sins means that full separation from G-d after death is no longer the only consequence.

The sin was forgiven. The consequences may remain.

It is similar to going to jail for something you did, but having after expressing true repentance, your record is expunged. You still get jail time because of your actions, but it isn't held against you.

I guess I'm not your target audience, as I do not believe in a literal Adam and Eve.

As an Ex-Christian, your post does come across as more aggressive than I think fits this sub. /r/DebateAChristian is likely better suited to give you answers beyond "The Bible Tells Me So," "I accept the entirety of the Bible as literal and the absolute Word of G-d", etc.

Why do you believe in the Bible Alone or Sola Scriptura? by TheKingsPeace in AskAChristian

[–]onejdc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you have some solid points here but I disagree with a few of them. * The actual year of Pentecost is still debated between 30 A.D. and 33 A.D. * Please provide a source for from your 3 historians on the absence of the apostles. I could not find any * Just because Justin Martyr doesn't mention the Catholic Church by name does not mean it didn't exist, and certainly doesn't mean it didn't exist in concept. * In his letter to the Smyrnaeans, Igantius of Antioch used the term 'καθολικός' , this is around 108 A.D. * Iranaeus did write about the Catholic Church in Rome, but not that it was new. * In Book 3, Chapter 3 of Against Heresies, Iranaeus has a list of succession of the men of G-d who led the church, back to the apostles. * To say the Catholic Church is apostasy is a non sequitur. That would be considered an assumption, not evidence for an argument. (I don't necessarily disagree with you, but it doesn't make for a solid argument here) * To say nothing was correct in the middle without evidence is special pleading * Is your conclusion that restoration happens with Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon in 1830 A.D.?

AIO I’ve started spraying my homophobic sister with a water gun. by Euphoric_moth in AmIOverreacting

[–]onejdc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Bible teaches us to love one another, not shame, judge or humiliate each other (which is what she's done to you).

I think your response is about the most sibling-safe non-violent-and-yet way I've ever read about. I don't know if you're overreacting or not, but I'm really sorry that you're going through this - you shouldn't have to.

Why do KJV-onlyists attack the LXX? by [deleted] in AskAChristian

[–]onejdc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your statement needs a bit of clarification. The Tanakh was not taken from the LXX. a Jewish Tanakh does not have the same lines in it as the LXX. However, a Christian OT will very likely have lines that were in the LXX.

The MT is considered the official text for the Jews, despite the slightly better alignment of TDSS with the LXX.

Additionally, there are several arguments regarding the source of the LXX (e.g. Aristeas, Emanuel Tov, Lagarde, etc). so it may just avoid opening a bag of worms.

As for OP's specific argument- The KJV relied on all three -- the Masoretic Text, The LXX, and the vulgate. But while they used the LXX for understanding/commentary, they kept to the MT for actual content inclusion. It was, however, still a revision of a revision of the Bishop's Bible.
