    Oh No Not Another Apocalypse Thread By Chrysostom

    Desolation on the Temple mount is the abomination of desolation, that's been going on since AD 70. Just because there's a Muslim bodega there doesn't mean anything, doesn't contribute in any way to the Lord's or to Daniel's prophecy.

    How to respond to classical theists who dodge Open Theism arguments

    When you watch the movie "The Game", with Michael Douglas and Sean Penn (though @Lon warns us it's perhaps not a great movie to watch for the point, it's at least in poor taste wrt language, like rated R language; there might be other rated R content, idk, I haven't seen it in a long time), you...

    The interesting thing is that, if you have a whole raft of voters who fit the bill, then it is reasonable to see if you can get them all to not vote, or at least to throttle their votes, because they're going to ruin everything if we let them—and why should we let them...

    Oh No Not Another Apocalypse Thread By Chrysostom

    It doesn't make it conclusive, but you do have to explain why what the earliest Church thought was wrong. Otherwise we're just supposed to ignore the man behind the curtain? It doesn't make sense. You have a novel theory—OK. Why was the early Church wrong though? You have to explain that...

    It isn't like the earliest Church was like, "WE HAVE NO IDEA who Mr.666 is." They were like, "It's Nero." Caesar Nero when transcribed in Hebrew alphabet (btw the first two letters in the Hebrew alphabet are alef and bet), equals 666 when the letters, which are also numbers in ancient Hebrew...

    Yes, the ones that fit, fit. Tautology. All the other ones don't fit. They're from different jigsaw puzzles. Nero was Mr. 666. Earliest Church knew it. Wasn't a mystery. The box of jigsaw puzzle pieces has pieces in it from many different jigsaw puzzles, and ofc they're not all going to...

    Chrysostom, who's got a box of random puzzle pieces from all sorts of different jigsaw puzzles, busily insisting that they all fit together.

    A very important translation. The translation quoted in the New Testament. The translation which links the Hebrew Bible with the Greek New Testament, which ultimately helps us with how to render the English translation. It's like a partial Rosetta Stone. Invaluable.

    Oh No Not Another Apocalypse Thread By Chrysostom

    Slippery slope? Unraveling the whole sweater by pulling on a single thread? The last 100 years we've watched numerous Protestant branches and traditions plunging into radically heretical wokeism. The Assyrian Church of the East hasn't made that descent, which means there's something...

    Assyrian Church of the East is still Nestorian. These people still believe Christ is God. Not so for Islam.

    I'm this year banned from all the major platforms. For what? Who can say. The trick is to keep your joints moving. They don't have a blood supply, so YOU have to do the "pumping" (of joint synovial fluid) that your heart does for your blood. Strengthening them while you're at it—also not a...

    Isn't it Creedmore? idk, I've never shot it. I think Nick says he's got an AR chambered in it. Anyway, totally agree with the meme, just shoot 7.62 NATO. Endless supply = economical.

    The term is re-present, not re-offer. Re-offer necessitates a different sacrifice.

    Dispensationalism... Nonsensical?

    Can speak with some authority on what the main point of contention is, having struggled with it myself. Acts 9ers are not antinomian, Acts 9erism absolutely believes we are gravely obligated to avoid grave sin, just like Catholics.
