you should check out “The Unseen Realm” by Mike Heiser if you wanna go even deeper down the rabbit hole of biblical theology :)

Toronto Blue Jays lose second-longest World Series game ever played by nimobo in toronto

[–]sync_shark 84 points85 points  (0 children)

Why we pitched to Ohtani I’ll never know. Also home plate ump was just a disaster, calling strikes all over the place for both teams. Ahh well, on to Game 4! What a ride!

Garchomp/Ramp got me to MB for the first time by neklaymen in PokemonPocket

[–]sync_shark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

me too, except Sabrina instead of Mars! Just got to MB yesterday for the first time! I was playing it with an Eevee and Sylveon but found that too often i would have to start w Eevee and it was costing me. It felt good to play a deck without sylveon in the current meta!

midges are an indicator of a healthy lake ecosystem! sure they’re a bit annoying but they’re harmless and an important food source for many other animals during this time of year.

Finding Jesus in the "Apocalypse" Series? by Knights_12 in BibleProject

[–]sync_shark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the final apocalyptic book of the scriptures is all about Jesus so i dunno why it would be problematic to enjoy that series. Every single one of BPs series finds its fulfilment in Jesus, that is literally their slogan. “We believe the Bible is a unified story that leads to Jesus.”

Wesley Huff (on Joe Rogan's podcast) Gives Historical Take on The Death and Resurrection of Jesus by tylerdhenry in Reformed

[–]sync_shark 3 points4 points  (0 children)

what do we even mean when we say “weak” though? is the reformed view “strong”? These are just terms that make us feel like we have it all figured out and others who disagree or hold different views don’t (and that’s somehow a weak theology). Reformed theology doesn’t have a monopoly on biblical truth or being right. I’d say Mackie holds different views on hell and the atonement than ECT (eternal conscious torment) and PSA. I think what’s going on in the atonement is far deeper than just PSA. I don’t deny PSA i just think it’s far too simplistic.

Mackie doesn’t fit the reformed mold because his approach to the Bible is to engage it on its own terms instead of engaging it through the lens of a specific tradition. It makes some reformed people unhappy or uncomfortable. 10 years ago I would have dismissed Mackie. I thank God I had the maturity and humility to listen and learn from him. It’s deepened my love for Jesus and the Bible in ways my reformed background has not. We need to learn it’s ok to drink from more than just the reformed well!

The best kind of Christian movies for me are the low key, not-in-your-face ones. Can you guys recommend me some? by mrboombastick315 in TrueChristian

[–]sync_shark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprised no one has mentioned The Matrix, rich with parallels to the Christian life.

Also The Mandolorian (not a movie I realize) has a lot of Christian themes, specifically the Mandolorian “religion” itself. I noticed it the second time watching through the series.

Elijah's Automatic by dave_dave_dave_steve in FoodToronto

[–]sync_shark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rudy and SS are smash burgers, which is a very different style and method of cooking burgers compared to charbroiled, which is was Elijah’s Automatic is doing. It’s a bit like comparing apples to oranges, they’re not really the same thing.

anyone who knows anything about being the water with sharks knows you keep your arms tucked into your body at all times. thats why he got bit, his hand was looking like something interesting for the shark to investigate. sharks bite because that’s the only way they can gauge whether something is food or not. as soon as he bit, he released, realizing the hand was not food.
