@FLRW
  • Taoism shares some concepts with Buddhism, such as the importance of meditation and cultivating inner peace, but differs in its emphasis on achieving harmony with the Tao rather than enlightenment or nirvana.

    @Mall
    According to scriptures, faith is confidence and trust in God, particularly in what is unseen or hoped for, and it is often demonstrated through actions and obedience. It is not just a belief, but a conviction that leads to a life aligned with God's will.

    Why did Jesus choose unqualified men to follow him?


    They were common, ordinary men. That's the point. God didn't need academic credentials; all He needed were people willing to follow. God would qualify the “unqualified.” God decided to use a group outside of the educated or religious establishment to be His core disciples.

    @MayCaesar
    The Bible speaks of aliens in several forms.

    Angels and Other Heavenly Beings:
    • The Bible describes angels as messengers of God, often appearing with supernatural abilities and sometimes interacting with humans.
       

    • Some interpretations suggest that these beings could be considered extraterrestrial, as they are not from Earth and possess powers beyond human comprehension.
       

    • The Book of Ezekiel's vision of a chariot with wheels and living creatures is sometimes interpreted as a description of a spacecraft and its occupants.

    Non-Orthodox Jews cannot find a good reason to oppose converting to Christianity.
    -->
    @rosends
    The seven laws are too vague?

    There is a lot of discussion and many details 
    The Noachide Laws are seven laws considered by rabbinic tradition as the minimal moral duties required by the Bible on all men. While Jews are obligated to observe the whole Torah - 613 commandments, every non-Jew is considered a "son of the covenant of Noah" and he who accepts these obligations is considered a righteous person who is guaranteed a place in the world to come.

    The seven Noachide laws, as traditionally enumerated are:

    Do Not Deny God
    Do Not Blaspheme God
    Do Not Murder
    Do Not Engage in Incestuous, Adulterous or Homosexual Relationships.
    Do Not Steal
    Do Not Eat of a Live Animal
    Establish Courts/Legal System to Ensure Law Obedience
     Note Jews are obligated to observe the whole Torah - 613 commandments.

    I remind that Shila is having at least 10 posts explicitly being a Holocaust apologetic directly towards a Jewish member and that is in this thread alone, she has been antisemitic elsewhere.
    I am a student of history and not a Holocaust denier. You cannot hide 3000 years of antisemitism or the Holocaust. My posts are also replies to posts that directly reply to my observations.

    14 million to lose healthcare, to pay for trump's tax cuts to the rich
    So yeah, no more “coulds” or “mights” here. The truth is the expiration was already baked in years ago, and Trump is supporting legislation to prevent that expiration, not enforce it.
    Anyone claiming otherwise is either misinformed or intentionally misleading.
    This will add 3.3 trillion to the deficit which is already 36.2trillion.

    It isn't just that your question is illogical but that it is steeped in a lack of knowledge of the biblical text. 

    How about this - you keep on jumping from topic to topic, never trying to understand and I'll just watch you continue to say dumb things. If you ever pose a serious question, I'll consider chiming in. 
    The phrase "third and fourth generation" is often used in the context of generational effects, either positive or negative, stemming from a specific event or action. It generally signifies a lasting impact that extends beyond the immediate perpetrators and their immediate offspring. This impact can involve negative consequences like punishment or hardship, or positive ones like blessing or prosperity, depending on the context.
    Elaboration:
    Biblical Context:
    In the Bible, particularly in the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:5-6) and later in Exodus 34:7, the phrase "third and fourth generation" is used to describe the duration of God's wrath for those who hate him, contrasted with his lasting love for those who love him and obey his commandments. This suggests a lasting consequence of sin or righteousness that extends to multiple generations.
    Beyond the Bible:
    The concept of "third and fourth generation" is also used in secular contexts to describe the lasting impact of historical events, societal structures, or individual actions. For example, the long-term effects of slavery, colonialism, or other forms of oppression can be seen as lasting consequences that affect generations beyond the original perpetrators.
    Examples:
    Negative: The "third and fourth generation" can refer to the lasting effects of war, such as the generational trauma of veterans and their families.
    Positive: It can also describe the positive legacy of individuals, such as the continued impact of a great leader's teachings on future generations.
    The Jews view teaching and occurrence of the Holocaust as a positive legacy of the Jews. As evidence God held the Jews accountable for their evil acts. Punishing the third and fourth generation of Jews is a promise to be fulfilled.
    Murderers of God's Prophets
    The Jews had a reputation of killing the prophets God lovingly sent to them. ... murder God's prophets. Hence, Jesus calls them "serpents, brood of vipers. God stopped sending the Jews prophets or defending them and even allowed the Romans to destroy their temple.

    More the irrelevant, stupid and hateful bin. Do you ever say anything on point? 
    The Jews were warned by God.
    How many generations are the sins of the father?
    There's a phrase from Exodus 34:7 where God says that he will punish the children and their children for the sins of the parents to the third and fourth generation.

    We are just one generation away from the Holocaust. Are we to expect more punishment of the Jews?

    What does PANT mean? This dictionary definitions page includes all the possible meanings, example usage and translations of the word PANT. A single leg of a pair of pants.


    Should I say pant or pants?
    ``Pants'' or ``pant'' are both correct. Two pant legs make ``a pair of pants'' which is most commonly shortened to ``pants''. ``Pant'' has gotten more popular in fashion for some reason, maybe because ``pants'' means underwear in the UK?

    he's raising taxes on the poor, and taking away a lot of their healthcare. the only tax cuts he's making permanent are for the rich. to fund these tax cuts, dollar for dollar, whatever they can get from gutting medicaid and food stamps, and raising taxes on everyone through imports, he's giving to the rich. dollar for dollar. you can't make this shIt up. most trump supporters are low information voters, even though trump became popular with the poor low information votes, so they aren't aware fully of what's happening. and the trump sycophants here are in a cult.... somehow, they cant say one plus one equals two when it comes to calling trump out on bullshIt like this. so, MAGAts, how do you justify your dear leader doing this? 
    The American people voted for this creep. They deserve every bit of his policy.
