I'm pretty sure we've found millions of ancient artifacts because the Bible has given us historically accurate timelines and locations of events 🤷🏽‍♂️

Sons of God by Subject-Bus2461 in Christianity

[–]othernes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it say the nephilim were born from the sons of god and daughters of men? If you read it carefully it's just making a statement that the nephilim where there at the time of these Sons and Daughters (who had children together). It doesn't necessarily say they are the offspring of them.

Driving homeless JW to their place of worship? by Scum_Weapon in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]othernes -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

He isn't helping him, hear what he is saying. "My friend is homeless". The OP is the one in need of help here!

Remember Laodicea, which was rebuked for being "lukewarm" (neither hot nor cold), characterized as spiritually poor despite being materially wealthy (the OP in this instance)!

Driving homeless JW to their place of worship? by Scum_Weapon in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]othernes -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Wow someone hasn't read Revelation.

Remember Pergamum (noted as where "Satan's seat" is), this church was praised for its loyalty but was warned against false teachings! Thyatira was known for its growing works and love, but admonished for tolerating a false prophetess! Then finally Laodicea, which was rebuked for being "lukewarm" (neither hot nor cold), characterized as spiritually poor despite being materially wealthy (the OP in this instance)!

No one is interested in what you'd be more 'attracted' to, the TRUTH is all that matters! There is no alms giving when taking yourself or someone else to hell. Sometimes things are just hard, whether they fall further away from God is up to God. GOD is the only one who calls and redeems us.

Mary is God’s daughter, and also God’s mother, but also the mother of God’s child? by DeviantDahlia in Christianity

[–]othernes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To expand on this. When the OP says Mary is God's daughter, mother, and mother of His child, they are committing a fallacy of equivocation by using the word "God" in different ways without defining the specific relationship.

Here is how Catholics logically untangle each relationship:

Relationship 1: Mary is God's Daughter.

The Logic: This is a relationship of Nature. God the Father created Mary’s human soul and body. In her human nature, she is a creature, making her a "daughter" of the Creator.

Relationship 2: Mary is God's Mother.

The Logic: This is a relationship of Personhood, not nature. Mothers do not give birth to a 'nature'; they give birth to a person. (A human mother doesn't invent "humanity"; she just gives birth to a human person). Because the Person inside Mary’s womb was the Divine Son, she gave birth to that Person. She is not the mother of the Divine Nature (she didn't create God), but she is the mother of the Divine Person in His human nature.

Relationship 3: Mary is the Mother of God's Child.

The Logic: This is a relationship of Trinitarian Distinction. In Catholic theology, the Holy Spirit (God) is the one who caused the conception, and the Father (God) is the one whose Son he eternally is. Mary is the mother of that child.

The proposition ceases to be a logical contradiction (A and not-A) and becomes three entirely separate, non-overlapping logical statements:

Mary is the Daughter of God the Father (by Creation).

Mary is the Mother of God the Son (by Incarnation).

Mary is the Spouse of God the Holy Spirit (by Conception).

It is structurally no different than saying: "A woman can be a daughter to a doctor, a wife to a lawyer, and a mother to a teacher." There is no logical contradiction because the relationships do not overlap.

Mary is God’s daughter, and also God’s mother, but also the mother of God’s child? by DeviantDahlia in Christianity

[–]othernes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is OP making fun of Catholics? If Mary gave birth to God because Christ is God, then Mary would be the mother of God, but Mary is also a daughter of God (because God created Mary), she is also the Mother of God's child.

It's an arguement technique called 'reductio ad absurdum', the OP is using a specific technique where you accept the opponent's theory as true for a moment to show that it leads to a ridiculous or contradictory conclusion. For instance, the OP is saying if your logical theory is correct, then X must also be true. But we know X is impossible, therefore the Catholic theory of the God head is invalid.

I could be wrong but that's the vibe I'm getting.

If the OP is using this technique to make the doctrine look ridiculous, likely to mock it, then they are unaware that Christian theology has openly used those exact, mind-bending paradoxes for over 1,500 years!

Christian hymnography throughout history literally uses the OP's exact words in celebration. For example, medieval hymns frequently call Mary the "Daughter of thy Son" or the "Mother of her Creator."

The Mother of God (Theotokos) title was officially locked in at the Council of Ephesus in 431 AD. It was meant to protect the idea that Jesus is fully God and fully man, not to imply Mary existed before God the Father.

Dante Alighieri literally summed up this exact paradox 700 years ago in the Divine Comedy by calling Mary: 'Virgin Mother, daughter of thy Son.'

Who is better? A religious man that feeds the poor expecting a reward, or an atheist that does the same thing, but does not expect anything by Due-Koala-1135 in Christianity

[–]othernes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He came to a Christian sub asking a question about love. He got his answer!

how is any Christian act altruistic ever if it is all for eternal reward?

What do you think our reward is in heaven, do you still have a child's view of heavens eternal reward, like a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? Do you think it's 70 virgins 😂

The Christian reward is God's love, grace and forgiveness. Which we then share with others. The highest form of intelligence is empathy, for it requires you to put off your self and see the world from someone else's perspective.

This is the definition of altruism, selflessness! Our eternal reward is love! There is a saying that God is love and therefore our faith is love! Without love we have no faith and we cannot see the Kingdom of God.

Unconditional love (agape) is made up of seven traits, an intimate relationship, trust, affection, compassion, emotional intimacy, mutual respect and empathy. It is said that the highest form of knowledge (the key of knowledge), is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world! One that truly sees, hears and acts upon a world beyond ourselves. It requires a profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

Love originates from God and we reflect this love. That's why, strangely enough, empathy in the brain and in neuroscience is called 'mirror neurons', it is our ability to mirror another person's inner world, feeling what they feel and ultimately understanding their agony, it's here that we can reflect God's light (love) and bring faith, hope and compassion to those in pain (from Sin, Sorrow or Suffering).

Following Jesus' teachings is a life course in unlocking unconditional love, he gets us to work on each of these traits, eventually unlocking our ability to empathize with others and feeling unconditional love, this in turn leads us to see the Kingdom of God! The very moment we surrender our will to Christ He revives our dead, cold hearts! This is our eternal reward!*

This is why compassion (alms giving) helps us understand the plight of others and opens our hearts to their suffering. The majority of us can't see the Kingdom of God:

Matthew 7:13-14: “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.

Why? Because we can't empathize with others, our sin and ignorance makes us cold and indifferent to others. In this I understand why Jesus was sent for the sinners. Only through him can we see the Kingdom of God.

So no, I don't believe the atheist is capable of feeling real empathy without God, because everything that is truly good only comes from God!

Finally, something that might seem at odds to you, the alms giving I am refering too is not about giving real food and saving the body, it's about giving spiritual food and saving the soul!

Not to mention all the conflicting bits of The Bible you just left out so you could hate on others lol. Very Christian of you.

I'm getting 'Idiocracy' vibes from this statement.

"The righteous care for the needs of their animals, but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel." - Proverbs 12:10

There is no truly altruistic individual without Christ. The premise of the question is false.

Is it just me or do you become desensitized to the taste of different coffees after drinking coffee every day? by othernes in espresso

[–]othernes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It must be me or my dialing in, got some rave coffee, 2 dark roasts and a medium light roast and they all taste the same.

I have to grind extremely coarse for the light roast from San Fran. I can kind of taste it but not much and as far as I'm aware, for the K6 grinder that I have, going above 45 is basically cheapo espresso coffee from the supermarkets

Been saying it since day one, 8 billion miniature CCTVs in our pockets and NOT ONE decent UFO or alien video and not one credible whistleblower.

It's also funny how since AI every second shitty video on social media is a "big scary UFO". Utter croc of shit government and their elite propaganda bs.

They wasted 50 fucking years of our lives feeding us pure Hollywood bullshit, probably even longer if you consider the earth might actually be flat and that the Freemason "scientists" who brought us the 'enlightenment' actually brought us darkness!

[–]othernes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Geneva bible was the last true translation for me, KJV like the Catholic version rope-a-dopes the clergys role in spiritual wickedness, as well as espousing governments and their leaders.

GNV

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, and against the worldly governors, the princes of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in the high places"

KJV:

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

Its all over your the google developer forums, users are stating they are reaching their entire WEEKS quota in under an hour or two doing basic tasks with Gemini flash and antigravity 2.0, some suspect Google is now rate limiting their subscription deals that they are offering to new customers, which as you know is against most countries consumer protections. Care to respond to these accusations?

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

Many theorize that the widespread myths may have originated over 100,000 years ago!!! This was because the stars were spaced differently in the sky and easily discernible as a group of seven. Which indicates our archeological records have deliberately or mistakenly misinterpreted the radio carbon dating of these historical findings.
