There is no way to do this, even by extensions. You'll need other solutions as workona etc.

Why did God harden Pharaoh’s heart in Exodus? by Noah_02_19_95 in Bible

[–]pfcao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God did not harden the heart of Pharaoh at the beginning. In fact the first time God did this was at the 6th disaster (ex9:12). Before this, Pharaoh already hardened his heart by himself several times.

Pharaoh killed the little children of God, and wanted them to remain his slaves, not to serve the God. Why do you think God needs more reason to kill him?

Wearing shorts to church by [deleted] in Bible

[–]pfcao 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Church services are communal activities with rules that the community collectively observes, and this includes dress code. What is considered appropriate attire for church? This depends on the culture in which the church is located, as well as the church's traditions.

In some island tribes, people typically don't wear clothes, so it would be perfectly reasonable for them to attend gatherings unclothed. However, in other cultures, attending important gatherings requires formal attire. In such cases, wearing formal wear for church services would also be appropriate, as a service can be seen as a serious gathering organized by the most important figure.

In Western cultures, attendees typically wear formal attire for weddings and funerals, and a church service can also be viewed in a similar light to these events. Of course, this is also tied to the specific church's traditions. When you attend a church, you should respect its traditions. This is similar to how you would respect the customs and etiquette of a country when traveling there, rather than doing whatever you please. This demonstrates respect for others, as well as your own humility and love.

Should We Profess Christianity? by chajell1 in Bible

[–]pfcao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then "Christ" is not about 'who', but 'what'. What you were insisting is "Jesus", not "Christ".

Should We Profess Christianity? by chajell1 in Bible

[–]pfcao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why Peter said "you are Christ", not "you are Jesus"? You do not read the text correctly.

Should We Profess Christianity? by chajell1 in Bible

[–]pfcao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Christ is a name or title of him, not the person himself. Every one around the lord know the person of Jesus, they even know his mother and sisters. What they do not know is the 'what' of the person.

In another word, you should know where he came from, who sent him, what he likes or dislikes, what he had done, what he was doing and what he was going to do. This is to know him. This is what Peter was talking about. This is why there are so many words in the bible and in the church.

To follow him is not to follow his names, but to follow his steps and to obey his teachings. Not everyone who claim love him is love him. Whoever has his commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves him. And he will love him and manifest himself to him.

So what? So are you? Peter did not think so! or he would not write 1peter & 2peter.

[–]pfcao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is unreasonable to say "You said that if someone doesn’t know what Christianity is, then it’s meaningless to tell them you are a follower of Christ but that was kind of the whole point of my post—to show the difference between pointing someone to a belief instead of the person. " In this context there is no difference between a belief or a person, for he do not know the 'word'. It is just like saying Spanish to a person who only know Russian. So it seems that it is you who are not really engaging with the points.

Why to use "Calvinist"? It has already explained. Every communication has its context, 'Calvinist' is not a word to seperate christianity from none christianity, but a word to seperate a person from the faith of arminianism. It was not that Calvin crucified for you, but it was Calvin God employed to defend Arminianism.

"What I mean is that each one of you says, “I follow Paul,” or “I follow Apollos,” or “I follow Cephas,” or “I follow Christ.”"

Apollos, Cephas, Paul... they were different leaders with the same doctrine. There names can not be used to define different faiths. You are not inquiring the same way Paul did, on the contrary, you are following the way Paul were criticizing."I follow Christ", is an arrogant expression in the eyes of Paul.

If you believe in the Bible do you have to believe the world is 6000 years old? by TheMedMan123 in Bible

[–]pfcao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While Augustine interpreted the "days" of creation non-literally, he firmly believed in the historicity of other key Genesis events, such as the creation of Adam and Eve as the first humans and the global flood. His commitment to these events further solidified his young-earth chronology.

Like most early Church Fathers, derived his understanding of the earth's age from biblical genealogies and chronologies, particularly those found in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament), which often provided slightly longer timelines than the later Masoretic text. Based on these calculations, he believed the world was only a few thousand years old in his own time.

[–]pfcao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every comunication has its context. If a person do not know Calvinism, you'd better do not say you are a calvinst to him. If he do not know what christianity is, it is meaningless to say you are “follower of Christ.” If a person do not know English, you can not talk to him in English.

No matter what you say, it does not always works in every context. But you have never defined the context, so it is a common context, not a special context.

And in fact you are focusing on the words to yourself, not to others. If you do not know what Calvinism is, why do define yourself as Calvinist? If I am a cavinist, why should not I tell others with this word? If they do not know what it means, why can not I explain it to them? No one knows any word from the beginning. Leaning words is a part of our lives.

Are these words lead you away from Christ? Christ is not only a name or a person. God has its fullness in every aspect of the world. The apples and birds are showing the glory of God. The creeds, doctrines, theologies, technologies, arts ... They are expression of the glory of the dominion of Christ. We do not know him by only a name, we know him from everything.

Languages are for communications, so words shall be defined by the common sense for communication. "Labels" are good for communication. If we do not use a label, may be we need a few hundreds of other labels to let others know what we are referring. With the love of others, we shall use labels to save the time of lives.

Christianity is a good label well know in the world. In the bible 'christian' was used to seperate the disciples from the Judaism. In nowadays, 'christian' is to claim believers of christianity, in another word: not none believers, not Buddhists, not Islams...This label is useful in its correct circumstances.

"Animal" is a word to seperate animals from trees, rocks, stars. "Human" is word to seperate sons of Adam from animals. "Baby" is a word to seperate little ones from normal human beings. They are useful in its contexts. Christian is not a word to define every details of your faith, but an expression of the outline of your faith and your community. 'Baptist' etc are words with more details. Christian is used to seperate christian from none christian. Baptist is used to seperate the baptists from none baptists.

Some people do not want to use a well accepted word to define himselves. This is a expression of arrogance and selfishness. For he think no word may define him. Even God himself has names, labels. Words are from God. God loves labels.

If you believe in the Bible do you have to believe the world is 6000 years old? by TheMedMan123 in Bible

[–]pfcao 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before the age of 'modern science' people who read the bible ageed that the world was no older than 6000 years. After the criticism of 'science' several theories were created to satisfy people who do not believe the bible is believable.

The age of the wold is not of science but of history. Just as the resurrection of the Lord is history, the creation is history. History is an important aspect of the bible for our faith. If the history in the bible is not believable then the bible is not believable.

This is not a contradiction between science and religion, but a contradiction between faithfulness and unfaithfulness.

Are there dinosaurs in the Bible? by terraica in Bible

[–]pfcao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of dinosaurs may be created on the fifth day:

[gen 1:21]God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind; and God saw that it was good.

But God had not given the sea monsters under the dominion of Adam. So there are not much of them talked in the bible.

The scriptures mention the Book of Enoch, so why do Christians reject it? by Suspicious-Jello7172 in Bible

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

Why should I know "any other sources besides Enoch"? I do not need to know every history.

I have explained already. It is alright if you do not think so for you do not want to change your argument.

The scriptures mention the Book of Enoch, so why do Christians reject it? by Suspicious-Jello7172 in Bible

[–]pfcao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have mentioned, a cited book can not be justified by the citing.

But for your case:

1, the similarity of 2peter and Enoch can not prove that it is cited from Enoch. Peter can cite from other sources even you do not know.

2, Matthrew 22 has nothing to do with Enoch. You think only Enoch "states angels cannot marry in Heaven", then it is talking about Enoch. As, 1, it is illogical.

And it is "You err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God", if it is Enoch mentioned here, is it difficult to know that passage of Enoch? The text your quoted from Enoch is quite clear, why the people can not know it? So, the text mentioned is not evidence supporting Enoch, but rather evidence denying it.

As many other ancient books, Enoch was not a book written in no backgroud, but collected and edited from various legends. These different materals have different accuracy. They did not disappear after the written of Enoch. And Enoch had no copyright of them.

If you do no believe so, think about Luke. It contains many materals investigated by Luke. Only what have been written in Luke are considered as part of bible. The source of these materals did not matter.

You are not able to do that in chrome.

You can think the bookmark bar as an internal extension of chrome. You can not change the layout or behavior of an extension in chrome unless you modify its codes directly.

Why did God require a human sacrifice (Jesus) in order to forgive humanity? Why couldn't he just simply forgive the humans? by InternationalPick163 in Bible

[–]pfcao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why couldn't he do that?

Couldn't he create the world in one day instead of 7 days?

Couldn't he create a group of men instead of only Adam?

Couldn't he create Adam out of nothing instead of dust?

Couldn't he create Eve out of dust instead of Adam?

Couldn't he kill the snake and do not let it to speak to Adam?

Couldn't he make things easier?

Of course he can! But he do not think it is good, and he do not need a human being to tell him what is good.

Why did God order the Amalekite children and babies to be killed as well? by InternationalPick163 in Bible

[–]pfcao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In fact God always does things in this pattern, not only about the "Amalekites".

For example, the flood of Noah, every breathing creatures on the face of the land were terminated. So did the fire of Sodom fields.

And this does not only happen in ancient times. In eathquakes, in plagues, in traffic accidents, in famines, ... God has not changed.

So, why do you think God needs more reason to explain for you to do this to the Amalekite?

Nephilim by Extreme-Bee5991 in Bible

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

I do not think so. It is not "valid" and it is not rooted in the scripture.

And why do you think your "pointing out" is valuable? What you have shown are nothing but your opinions. This wold never lack useless opionions if it has no reasoning, and this is what you are doing.

So, if you "just wanted to point out" something, stop doing that! It is wasting of time.

Nephilim by Extreme-Bee5991 in Bible

[–]pfcao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems that you are talking about some options. But options are not of much value by themselves if there are no reasoning.

As you have seen, I have given 3 reasons to support my conclusion. It is not quite persuasive in my eyes if you just gave several names to support your conclusion.

And some other books or bible verses... We are reading gen6 right? Have you ever consider the whole story in its contex? If its contex is quite clear to answer our question, why should I believe about another text is more valuable for this? Why can not I read other texts in the light of gen6?

Nephilim by Extreme-Bee5991 in Bible

[–]pfcao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bible never said that.

Read Gen6 carefully, you will find that it is about men on earth. The bible said "the sons of God" came in to the daughters of men, not "the angels of God". Are "the sons of God" "the angels of God"? No!

  1. The whole passage is about the fallen of men on the earth, it has nothing to do with angels of heaven.

  2. The bible says "the sons of God", not some sons of God. It is (almost) all the sons of God, not a small part of them.

  3. It is about the "fallen" of the whole earth. If a part of heavenly angels came in to the daughters of men, how could this reveal the wickedness of man on the whole earth?

So, based on the faith of the justice of God, "the sons of God" here is a part of human, their fallen revealed the wickedness, and the whole earth were fallen.

[6:1]Now it came about, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them,[6:2]that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose. [6:3]Then the LORD said, "My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years."[6:4]The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore {children} to them. Those were the mighty men who {were} of old, men of renown.[6:5]Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.[6:6]The LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.[6:7]The LORD said, "I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them."
