God's election might feel like a lottery to us, but just because we can't understand God's criteria for bestowing His grace doesn't necessarily mean it's random.

Today was really good.

Not morally okay with pretending we can actually prevent arbitrary bytes from being packaged into blocks given the myriad of ways to do so.

Not morally okay with making Luke the alpha and omega of #Bitcoin development.

"So you're a *Practicing* Christian."

This person thinks so.

"In the neon-drenched underbelly of Manhattan's crypto exchanges, Howard Ratner (Nick O'Neill) is a fast-talking diamond dealer turned shitcoin hustler, whose life is a high-wire act of rug pulls, pump-and-dumps, and desperate all-nighters chasing the next 100x moonshot. When a rare uncut Ethereum wallet surfaces—rumored to hold the keys to a forgotten ICO fortune—Howard sees his ticket out of debt: he'll flip it quick, bet big on a volatile dog-themed meme coin, and finally pay off the loan sharks circling his NFT gallery."

The Full Gospel: From Curse to Victory

nostr:nprofile1qqsr26r4lltjnvrwadxp67ns58m4qpzaqemhf5sup7hlujhjh7t296qpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmqppamhxue69uhkumewwd68ytnrwg5pml9e

You’re right that we are born into sin — cursed since Adam and surrounded by its effects. But the story doesn’t end in despair. The Gospel is not just about what we’ve fallen from, but what Christ has restored us to.

“As in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.” — 1 Cor 15:22

Christ didn’t come merely to cover sin, but to destroy it.

“For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.” — 1 John 3:8

That’s the victory — not only pardon but transformation.

“If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, behold, the new has come.” — 2 Cor 5:17

The cross wasn’t just a rescue mission; it was a cosmic triumph.

“He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, triumphing over them in it.” — Col 2:15

We deserved hellfire, yes — but we were made for glory. Grace doesn’t merely spare us; it raises us.

“Behold, I am making all things new.” — Rev 21:5

So when we speak of judgment, let’s also speak of resurrection.

When we speak of sin, let’s also proclaim victory.

When we speak of hell, let’s not forget the empty tomb.

That’s the full Gospel: not just forgiveness, but the total restoration of humanity and creation under Christ’s reign.

The elect are perfectly saved.

Evil is perfectly defeated.

Justice is perfectly delivered.

The Triune God accomplishes all three.

I will be evaluating SolidTeknic's Non-Nickel Stainless Cookware in the coming future.

Most stainless pots and pans leach trace amounts of nickel, which is a toxic heavy metal linked to hormone disruption, especially in women (PCOS).

These pans, on the other hand, use a single piece of 18/0 ferritic stainless steel, that's 18% chromium and 0% nickel.

The other 78% of the pan is an alloy made from mostly iron, but it's been "sealed' by the chromium to form a passive oxide exterior which prevents leaching and rusting.

In other words, these pans should only leach 10s of mcg of chromium, which is an essential trace mineral to which we can tolerate north of a 1000mcg a day.

The reason this is unheard of is because conventional stainless steel, with nickel, is much more pliable and polishable, so it's attractive to manufacturers.

18/0 ferritic stainless is a royal pain to work with, but this startup might be onto to something.

I've read a bit of Seraphim.

Ecumenism is the effort to merge incompatible wings of Christianity despite doctrinal dilution in order to appeal to more people or to recentralize the church?

When a wife feels emboldened to deny sex, it is the sign of the late stage in a long journey of decline in attraction, respect, and sexual polarity.

Typically, the husband, thrilled and filled with content by the relationship, begins to treat his wife like a "best friend" in his mind, neglecting his role as male head, and ultimately exploiting her as a type of therapist and mom-like figure where he overshares his inner state, frequently whining and complaining, slowly demystifying and extinguishing his authority, and becoming dependent on her emotional cheerleading for every day's mood, plans, and greater household vision, thus burdening her with his role, elevating her to a sort of boss woman annoyed HR manager of his insecure boyish mental state, to the end of obviously destroying their relationship and their sex life.

YES

"Well why didn't God raise an Elect people without allowing Sin in the first place"

God determined the most glorious plan for good that we cannot even begin to comprehend it other than to humble ourselves and simply TRUST GOD that the ends are truly so glorious as to warrant all of this.

Better to simply be wholly and entirely confident in God's sovereignty to see everything through to His glory.

Yes.

What is triggering for people about this is the entering thought that suggests "If God permits evil, even allowed it, even authored, then how can God be good?"

Which is the wrong takeaway.

The proper takeaway is that God deemed creaturelu Free Will within the bounds of Creation important enough to allow a temporary rebellion, and in His grace, allows for it until His greater purpose, which at least includes raising an Elect people, is accomplished.

The allowance of the existence of evil does not denigrate God, but speaks to how vital His plan is for good.

"The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him."
