PS. Jesus is referred to as "The Word" in scripture. That comes from 'logos' from whence we get 'logic'. Logic isn't Jesus but Jesus is the embodiment of logic, among other things.

So as to the vagueness of god or God, there are only 5 options to the answer of, 'where did anything/everything come from'.

1. Everything came from nothing naturally. Nothing comes from nothing and nothing ever could.

2. Anything/everything created it's self. A thing cannot be A and non-A at the same time and in the same way. Logic...

3. A thing or everything is eternal. Laws of thermodynamics deny this. Eternal material systems are stagnant. Motion requires a prime mover. Aristotle.

4. Everything is a figment of your imagination. This can be shot full of holes with some simple observations. Argument to absurdity.

5. Something (someone) at some point created.

I have found no 6th option that isn't substantially the same as one of the 5 or some combination of them. Only the 5th is logical as I see it.

From there, the Bible answers best as to why that something created anything, that this something is personal and wants to relate with us, and how He does that and how we can relate back to Him.

Not to be difficult but, you already know the answers.

How does one feel strongly about anything? Through knowledge and experience.

How does one have a personal relationship with anyone? In this case one must first except hat the person is a person. No person, no personal relationship. After that? Get to know them. Exchange value for value with them. You're in the hole there and always will be. We (who believe) owe Him everything but, attempts to pay will pay for nothing. We'll give because He first loved us. Add this to knowledge from the first answer and we'll find how he interacts with us in His Word. This will give us the experience.

If Jesus is the center of the question then God is not a vague concept. Those two are fairly well identified and described in The Word. If it's vague to you, read more of those words. That's where the knowledge that can lead to experience comes from, His Word. Commentaries and theologies can come later. Start with what all those commentaries are commenting on. Let them later help you after you have first thought for yourself.

And of course, no. You'll never get there. It's an endless journey. Once the relationship is established there is no end of the rabbit hole. Just how far down it you wish to dive. Every inch has it's trials, tribulations and rewards.

Some are working on it. At least on mobile.

Comfrey. Start some outside from cuttings. Little to no care needed.

Good for stings and bites of all kinds. Heals cuts and scrapes better and faster than Neosporin. So fast that if it's not well cleaned, infections and dirt can get trapped under the rapidly healing new skin.

No. She talks about proposing it. She is CURRENTLY the VP. With the invisible Brandon, she practically is the President. Brandon approves of her and supports her.

If she actually wanted to propose anything it would be in the works already.

Only people out of power propose to do something as a campaign promise. She could be putting money where her mouth is, right now.

Mixed Nuts w/sea salt (no peanuts (soy)).

Biltong and very thick (like almost a quarter inch) bacon fried up to pretty crispy and eat hot or cold.

Stop telling children that the light socket has candy in it for them and they can use their fingers to get it out. That's not allowed here.

'but muh free speech'

By clowns. Yes, like the ones who don't make me laugh. Yes, the ones from the circus... the ass clown circus.

Thanks for asking my question in a round about way. I now have Alby on my Android! Also, looking forward to playing with the 'Hub' and my lightning node. Till now Alby didn't touch my node.

Imma control freak and was considering dumping them at some point but needed a place for my keys (the 0xChat experience and Amber discovery sorted that.) But, this Hub thing could win me over totally. Always expanding! Thanks again for the show.

sweet!

Always keep the scale of 'world' in mind. Priorities are the world and where we make our biggest mark. Family, friends, community...

If this is the primary scale, the marks will be huge,....

for better or worse.

I gathered that after I posted. lol

Nostr needs that delete button.

You also plucked your private key (nsec) into whatever client/app you used to post this. Now they have it.... and the next app/client... and the next...

Many of the apps/clients are new, experimental and buggy.

They could get hacked or sell or leak your private key/nsec... the password to your identity in the nostr world.

This is what Alby or another 'key signer' does. They provide proof that you own your public identity without handing over your private key.

Seems trivial at first, but it's important.

Just started playing with private rooms yesterday with 0xChat.

why no mobile apps.

Test from 0xchat.

Every one tends to agree as you move from one extreme then thins begin to get shakey.

Free lunch

... ride

.... money

... love

... market

... choice

... speech

At some point your instincts began to shift reading that list.

Any social, civil or cultural concept that begins with a cognate of the word 'free' is now automatically suspect in my book.

What people say about it and how they live it are most often in conflict. Which stance should I judge them by? And, come to think of it, why is this a high priority standard of judgment, anyway?

Been rethinking a lot if 'first principals' of late. Some of them aren't withstanding scrutiny very well.

I was just remembering my favorite teacher. I too every English and Language Arts class she taught.

She told us once (it was the 80s then), our geographic and cultural colloquialisms were a beautiful part of our heritage. She advised that we should explore them while they still existed and were distinct. TV and other mass media were homogenizing what was once a beautiful thing.

I've since grown to love all of our varieties of expression and miss them being more distinct to locations and peoples.
