I appreciate your original thinking, nostr:npub1cxp3l03x20mkzezzr4takm8w8zuva7xwvacmcewp97z58hjt8xls3mexlq, and I once also came up with this interpretation and shared it with another young Christian who seemed to agree, but I have since come to see it differently.
In context, the Saduccees had asked Jesus about whose wife this woman who had been married to seven different brothers would be in the resurrection:
> In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had married her.” Jesus answered them, “You are mistaken, because you don’t know the Scriptures or the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage but are like angels in heaven.
Matthew 22:28–30 (CSB)
Under your view, I would think Jesus would have said that all of the brothers would be married to her (assuming they all make it to the new world), am I right? Instead, Jesus' answer seems to imply that she wouldn't be married to any of the brothers because there won't be any marriage (perhaps other than that of Christ and His Bride, the Church). And if there is no marriage between the children of the resurrection, I can't imagine there would be fornication or adultery among them either!
Saying that the children of the resurrection will be like the angels of God is interesting and mysterious. I remember in the movie Dogma an angel there was portrayed as having no genitalia. I would think we humans would retain our sex and presumably our organs thereto, but I also note that the Bible always appears to portray angels as looking exclusively like men (and they also don't have wings or look like fat little babies). And they are called the "Sons of God". If there are no female angels there is probably no means or need for angels to reproduce. And they certainly wouldn't be engaged in a big homosexual orgy in heaven!
Anyway, just adding my thoughts to the discussion.
> However, as it is written:
“No eye has seen,
no ear has heard,
no mind has conceived
what God has prepared for those who love Him”
1 Corinthians 2:9 (NIV)
revelation 19
"10 At this I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers and sisters who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For it is the Spirit of prophecy who bears testimony to Jesus.”"
the nature of angels has been hidden from the bible that was compiled by the catholic church... they even burned all copies of the book of enoch they could get their hands on because the book of enoch extensively describes the interbreeding of the fallen angels and "mortal" humans - and you can also see in the qur'an that there seems to be a story surrounding jesus that seems like an artificial insemination specifically by one angel known as gabriel
hah... yeah i haven't used my facebook since early 2019... and honestly everyone i have had dealings with in the time since, who uses these things, acts like a frickin zombie, i swear they are like remote control systems they use to provoke responses in these people...
remember google bragging they know everything about you... well that's probably because they told it to you
doesn't work on me
i'm now getting pretty close to wishing i had chosen some other job than programmer... maybe i can dial it back if i make enough to get me a little farm and start spending more of my time looking at real things
in a very dark mood this evening
too many things i am hearing about that are really disturbing
i sincerely hope that the conjunction on 25 june next year really is the end marker for the kali yuga
i am in need of some reason to be optimistic about the future

you have to cover your eyes with IR reflective material to evade the recognisers, in fact the rest of your face doesn't matter, someone posted about glasses you can get that have these IR filters... it's the same red or green looking stuff you see on mobile phone cameras, those filter out IR because the CCDs are very sensitive to it, and they can see straight through most kinds of sunglasses
in other words, this company is almost certainly bankrolled by intelligence agencies as propaganda agents
a good society would deem it to be a crime to capture images without explicit permission, not just "you are on camera" signs
it would not be a crime in such a society to burn out the CCD sensors of every single camera that is sited in a public place
i think it's pretty hard for them to stop anyone from doing this either, just building the green light laser and infrared aiming system that makes it easy and fast
it's why it's a terrible place to live now... out here in the country there is very few cameras in comparison to in built up urban areas, still too many for my taste, and they are sold to people as security with the feeds going to some security company but i'm sure they get some extra pocket money selling off as many time-and-image-and-location stuff to companies building up these dossiers
unfortunately the cat is way out of the bag at this point, you can imagine that this system only has a fraction of what government, military and intelligence databases have as well, since they include all kinds of data from the millions of CCTVs they have everywhere
i think there is a good justification for building a device that lets you nuke every CCD around you, with a sensor that alerts you that one is looking at you so you can nuke them
this is a very hostile environment, having spies everywhere like this, it's like fantasy novels bad guys crows and flies and stuff - and you probably have heard the "birds are not real" stories, well of course most of them are but i totally can believe that they have got spies in forms that appear to be animals and insects by now
yeah it pushed just over 70k
soon there will only be morning hours of moscow time
Norway is moving against the cashless agenda by considering rules to ensure consumers can pay with cash. The government has proposed measures to guarantee that those reluctant to use digital payments can still pay with physical currency, aiming to prepare society for emergencies and protect consumers' ability to use cash. This decision comes as Norway has been rapidly transitioning towards a cashless society, with 65% of payments at physical points of sale being contactless in 2020. The government's initiative is driven by concerns about financial exclusion, potential issues with electronic payment systems, and the need for national preparedness in case of disruptions to digital banking and payment systems.

people are spending less money and cash makes budgeting easier with it's concrete material substance
that and the very frequent outages and problems in the banking system mean there has to always be a fallback or business grinds to a halt! and that means no taxes
so... yeah, not really anything more than them realising their fantasy of tracking everyone is fatally flawed in the incompetence and lack of resilience of these centralised money-spying systems.
we have double the trouble here, because they set madeira as portuguese time zone and it's almost an hour ahead by the longitude, and then most of the year they set it another hour ahead... on the winter solstice the sun is rising at "9am"!
which part, the rigatoni?
not enough elk, not enough cheese, too much trigo
yeah, i can't use your chat app with my nostr.wine relay that i pay for because it requires NIP-42 (just like my relay does, when i set the config that way, i just made a bypass for IPs due to the fact i use it on a VPN and it can filter for that)
well, not that i have any chat partners that use nostr.wine but if i did, i would know that our chat metadata wasn't leaking
you really need to think about that, it's really starting to grind my gears how nostr client devs are so bleeding oblivious to the privacy implications
are you TRYING to leak all our comms metadata to the spooks or what?
i hate them all
i just want a smooth flat, black, heat absorbing surface
black surfaces are kinda cool, they remind you to mop more often, every mark is visible
there's a lot of things about the way people build shit that is just pure mindless repetition of what daddy did, even though we have far better options now
some things are good tho... kiln fired bricks are very practical, but cinderblocks are a shitcoin, so is cement based renders, so ugly after 5-10 years, and half of europe is built of this shit now, it's pathetic
yeah, i've not been sweeping my floor as much as usual lately also...
i have all these rugs on the floor now and they are a pain in the arse... i want to swap them all out for giant sound absorbing artworks on the walls and get everything except my bed and computer desk removed from the apartment so i can return to my happy sweeping
i refuse to use any system i know is vulnerable... that's why i have zero SMS based 2fa anymore and i avoid google authenticator... IT USES SHA1!!! fffs i'm not kidding you go read up on it, what a fucking shitshow
i bet
i highly recommend damp microfibre cloths, they are great for glassy things
dusty light fixture is made out of glass, isn't it, it looks like some crazy glassblower stuff
haha that's nothing, you need to see how wild the winds are here in madeira... experienced the same on both north and south - just the south side is dry and i hate that
can't leave any door without a stopper or 3+lb weight stopping it from moving if you open two ends of the house at once, or slam, slam, slammitty slam...
before i'd been here a week i managed to have that happen to me but fortunately of course the balcony door was wide open so i asked my neighbours for help and they came through with a ladder to get up on the balcony and i was saved
winds that blow things about are routine... they even tie up bundles of grape vine sticks after they cut them back so they don't blow about
second thing that i see thanks to having my relay to test it is that it doesn't respond to nip-42
so, yeah, i'll be looking at this app closely it has some good ideas in the UI design, but it's really minimal at this point
