Can you give an example of how Christ was well versed in the book of Enoch? (I would like to look into that) I know Paul references Enoch a time or two, but I think it was about Enoch the person, and not about the book of Enoch or about scriptures. For example many times Christ and the apostles reference the old testament saying things like "as was written by isaiah the prophet".

Sounds cool. I think king James is probably most accurate from I researched. But as always there’s disagreements on this.

@Loki , in your opinion, does the book of enoch fit with the whole of the bible? ( I mean is it in harmony with all that is said through christ, the apostles and the prophets?) I have not read enoch because there is so much truth to be found in the 66 books of the bible that I have not come to the point that I need enoch.

I would take the time to read it if there were people saying it is in harmony with the whole of the bible, but that is not what I have read in commentary by people who have read it.

I really like the idea of a side by side parallel. From the hebrew/greek/whatever, with the phonetics and transliterations notes beside the original texts.

I read the Qur'an in a highly regarded (haha, no, really, trusted by Sunnis in Morocco anyhow) parallel edition. To be honest, that book is pretty lame for the most part, like a weaksauce copy of the first 4 books of the New Testament mashed together with bits of Deuteronomy and Numbers and repeatedly talking about this notion of the punishment of the sinners eg Sodom and Gomorrah and a couple of other examples.

Honestly, I did not know when I first encountered the Book of Enoch that it was even a Christian text, nor that it had anything to do with the Apocrypha, or that it had been almost lost thanks to the Cattle Tick church psychopaths (in the negative way ofc).

It was this fancy looking illuminated version I was first shown, and it was too fancy for me to even read it. Gold leaf edges and pure white leather binding, and a big edition, like 30x50cm sorta size, mostly light glossy pages and pretty illustrations between chapters.

The person that showed it to me was a hairy fairy new agey type so I just wrote it off as some fanciful thing that had some mention of astrology in it.

Oh boy it's so much more than that, and not that at all really. I mean, a whole chapter talks about the sun and moon and the 12 signs of the zodiac, in rather clumsy, quite abbreviated form. "The Apocalypse of Yajnavalkya really gives you the idea you need to read it, especially if you are Christian.

Anyone else notice Chamath’s flip to pro-Bitcoin (again) in the latest all-in ep? It was subtle

Maybe an interesting exercise would be for all Christians to post why they are bitcoiners or more importantly how their faith compels them to be bitcoiners.

We might find some interesting reasons or biblical references.

Thanks for the zap. Really appreciate it. A book about the moral case for Bitcoin would be awesome. Maybe something that can be taught in churches. I can only speak to Catholic churches but I assume other christian churchs have that same issue, but I think we have a huge blind spot around the morality of money. Not only is it not taught, it's not spoken about at all.

Compelled by Christian faith, I stand firm as a Bitcoin advocate, driven by five resounding reasons that intertwine belief and currency.

1. **Conformance to God's Monetary Policy:** In the realm of digital gold, Bitcoin stands as a beacon of fairness and justice, aligning with divine principles. It resists manipulation and counters counterfeiting, embodying a pure representation of value. Like the scripture in Deuteronomy 25:13-16, where honest measures are commanded, Bitcoin is the embodiment of a just standard. One Bitcoin remains unequivocally one Bitcoin, unswayed by external forces.

2. **Removal of Monetary Power from Sinful Hands:** This transformative monetary marvel severs the shackles of monetary control from the hands of fallible men. Bitcoin's revolutionary essence lies in its recognition of the inherent imperfection within humanity. Trust becomes optional in transactions, freeing participants from reliance on the virtue of others. This revelation, akin to the acknowledgement of man's depravity, often overlooked, redefines the financial landscape.

3. **Separation of Money and State:** In a world where economies intertwine with governments, Bitcoin stands apart. It is a reminder of the spirit of liberty, where money was conceived as a product of the free market. Reflecting the wisdom of Genesis 13:2, Bitcoin's adoption becomes a voluntary act, embracing the original intention for money to be free from the clutches of political power.

4. **Decentralized Power and Inclusivity:** Unchaining itself from centralized authority, Bitcoin extends an open invitation to all, fostering a realm where participation is not bound by privilege. This inclusive design, akin to "rules without rulers," welcomes individuals across the globe, offering a financial realm where power is shared amongst all. In a world often governed by a few, Bitcoin becomes a champion of equity.

5. **The Moral Imperative:** In a stark departure from traditional monetary systems, Bitcoin emerges as a moral paradigm. Comparing it to currencies backed by conflict, one is prompted to question the compatibility of faith and endorsing systems fueled by injustice and violence. In this realm, Bitcoin stands tall, fostering a network that thrives without the need for bullets or aggression. With an army of computers, not an army of warriors, it stands resilient.

Learning how to grow your own food is as important as learning how to manage your own money that is not controlled by third parties. You need both to survive and to stay healthy. Organise your own garden, manage your own bank.

Fatherhood is one of the best things that can happen to a man.

It encourages you to be healthy.

Humbles you.

Makes you more patient and kind.

Causes you to plan ahead.

Take less risks.

Be more true to your word.

Don’t fall for the psyop.

Children, family and legacy are the meaning of life.

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency first by inflation then by deflation the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered... I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies... The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs."
