WIP Wednesday - 10/11/23 (Closed) | Math Nerd AU

"She isn't a stranger." Luther continues seemingly displeased that he was not the one to get the last word in which Andrew things is about par for the course. "She was Andrew's foster mother." Luthor says with an air of superiority.

"Lisa and Donald were my foster parents for a lot longer than Cass." Andrew says, "They even looked after Aaron too after Tilda got herself killed." he tilted his head towards his twin who still flinches at the mention of their mother's 'unfortunate' passing. "Are they out there too?" he asks pointedly looking behind Cass.

Considering Cass' wringing hands and flinch when he had asked about Richard he's sure that Lisa and Donald's bland disinterest would be more tolerable.

you ever think about how pretty much the only reason we use base10 is because we have 10 fingers and if everyone had 6 fingers on each hand we'd use base12 and never even think a thing of it and also math would be pretty much better in every way?

Thoughts?

This Verse Secretly Undermines All of Christianity...

I just saw this and thought I would process it on my own.

This YouTuber doesn't sound like he's explored much beyond mainstream Western Christianity. He makes the bold statement that EVERY Christian sect finds indispensable the idea that Christ died on the Cross "for our sins". Period.

For the longest time I found that challenging too. He goes on to talk about many of the same things I've asked, "Why couldn't God just forgive us outright? Why must he go through a generational pageant to do something the God of the Universe could have done of his own accord in the first place?"

You can say this is a dumb question. I've been told this many times.

Yet I have never been the only one asking this.

Many, if not all Atheists ask this question. Frankly, many "Christian" answers sound a little unhinged.

Now, I don't think that his examples necessarily contradict the prevailing point of view though. All anyone has to do is look at the banking industry to see that credit on future earnings is a valid payment method. Now it's true that modern banking, and especially credit, wasn't developed until the European Jews, unable to make a living any other way, started lending during the medieval period. Jesuits came up with the idea of insurance, which didn't technically fall under the prohibition against usury. And with ongoing innovation, modern financial markets developed.

None of these, of course, would have been understood by the local people of Jesus' time and place.

What was understood was life and death.

And this is where I found my peace.

Sins can easily be forgiven, but sickness and eventual death? That's a whole other nut to crack. Now, to be clear, unfortunately even the most traditional Christian communities have started to obsess about how SIN must be atoned!

But there is a strain in the oldest Christian traditions that it wasn't primarily sin that was destroyed on the cross, but rather death, disease, corruption (of which sin is a derivation to be sure, but not the point).

Now it's easy to look around and say - "Look! it didn't work." I myself have had to say good bye to both my parents over the last several months.

However, there is a resurrection that is promised. And if Christ has done what he said he did, then there WILL be a general resurrection.

The key is to be prepared for that resurrection. Now we could go on about which denomination is best prepared, but I have little faith in denominationalism. I think it's a means to conquer and divide the faithful, pitting follower against follower. Soon the God who's being worshiped isn't the most High God, but the Deceiver who encourages us all to call each other heretics. I do not think most "Christians" are Christian, but rather following their own wisdom (1 Timothy 6:3-5, 2 Thessalonians 2:11, Matthew 7:13-14, Matthew 24:11).

Now I may be a false teacher myself for thinking such a thing and putting it out there, but I have faith that God will know his own. And while he loves the rest, and has given them life, that life will be so much less for the fact that they reject what he's given them.

I find the idea of a river of fire helpful - Moses and the Glory of God (Exodus 33:20-23), speaks to the idea that to human senses, God is Fire. The Story of the Three Holy Youths (Daniel 3) has also been seen as an illustration of man abiding in the presence of fire, as a proxy for God, unharmed. Pentecost is God's fire experienced by the faithful after his resurrection. How will Gods fire be experienced by the unfaithful?

I have no idea, but I doubt that it will be pleasant (Luke 16:19-31).

In short, I feel this video failed to land it's point. There's enough diversity in Christianity to survive this argument, though I do not think that most modern Christians are open to my resolution.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Have mercy upon me, a sinner.

hello! if you would have the time, may i please ask, what could it mean having the 10th house lord in saturn in capricorn on the 5th house in the d-10 chart?! thank you 💗

Saturn, the lord of the 10th house (career and profession) placed in the 5th house in Capricorn in the D-10 chart, suggests the individual to have a disciplined approach towards creativity, education and speculative ventures in his professional life. This placement may indicate careers in fields requiring structured thinking such as education, research or government positions. One can achieve success through systematic planning, perseverance and attention to detail. However, there may be challenges in balancing work responsibilities with personal activities or managing authority figures in creative or educational settings, requiring patience and practicality for career development.

[for-the-writing-artist]

During a service on Wednesday, I started the book of Job. And ─by the third chapters I nearly cried along with him. The part where he curses his birth and wishes for death felt hauntingly suicidal at that time. It felt awful and terrifying, to resonate with something so lamentable thousands of years before I was born.

But the suffering of man hasn’t changed in a hundred years, and neither has man’s reaction to it.

So, I read it again this Sunday (this entire week), trying to find that kinship in the text ─ and I just couldn’t. I’m glad I didn’t, but it also filled me with anxiety, to think that many people before me found kinship with it, too.

It’s not something I wish for anyone to feel. Ever.

“Where did they go shopping?” Nicky asks, setting his own plate on the table. His smiley face plate has grape jelly eyeshadow and when he notices Smith’s gaze he eats it purposefully, “Don’t judge until you try it.” he says handing Smith some of the grape jelly.

Smith gives it a try.

Smith does not add anymore grape jelly to his eggs.

“Josten probably wanted to go to EXITES to get some gear. I don’t know what my brother sees in that Exy-obsessed jerk.” Aaron grumbles, jamming his fork into a combination of egg yolk, bacon, and hashed browns.

"PRACTICE SPIRITUAL WARFARE FOR YOUR MARRIAGE"

If I were to choose the most important thing as the key that has kept my marriage united and healthy, I would have to say it is loving my husband and family more than myself and practicing spiritual warfare EVERY DAY! Since we are spiritual beings, we cannot direct our combat against a human person. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, “For the weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and…
