2 Timothy 1:7

For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.

The world always needs more people willing to just start something good.

No

Which is worse - Being a girl on Onlyfans, or being a guy obsessed with trading shitcoins?

MY TWO FAVORITES.

I want to use an LLM on the command line, so I should probably set that up with a cool alias. Maybe `q`

This guy is just diverting attention

I don't understand how to stream on it, and I think that's a community failure.

Don't tell me to research, I don't stream, but I could've shared the knowledge.

I nostr hard enough.

Envy and ignorance

Are there verses that say this stuff? There's a lot of fiction around Christianity... Are you sure these ideas aren't that?

1/3rd is very specific. Numbers are used symbolically in the Bible. There's a reason, for example, there were 7 baskets of leftovers after Jesus fed the crowd with bread and fish. After the disciples collected the baskets, Jesus asked them how many, and they answered - seven - and Jesus said, "don't you understand?" I'm paraphrasing, of course. The number is important. The Bible always specifies a number, even when its irrelevant to the simple story. That's because there's a symbolic story too.

Where did the idea that angels had to bow to humans come from? If you were face to face with an angel, would you demand that it bow to you? What would that say about you, if you did? Is it possible that the purpose of that story is to highlight an aspect of our conscious experience? Humility or pride led to an Angel's fall - is that directed to the fallen angel or to you?

IMO, it is irrelevant whether angels actually exist, physically or spiritually or in any way as discreet localized entities. The material happening of any of the bible stories is irrelevant to the significance of the story. People dodge this thinking by imagining the spiritual as a etheric version of the material - but in that case, why bother creating one or the other in the first place?

Why is it "holy holy holy" and not "holy holy" or "holy holy holy holy"? Why always three? And I don't mean as reference to the trinity - the question remains there too.

The purpose of the religion is to keep the stories, with the embedded symbolism, alive. The religion is a vessel. The spirit that fills the vessel is the meaning. Whether the layman understands the meaning has no bearing on the religion. In fact, it may be useful if the Sunday church goer or parishioner doesn't understand. So which do you choose? Continue following the blind, be the blind led by the blind ; or do you choose spirit, meaning, using your eyes? That's not meant in an accusatory way, but in general, it is frustrating to me because everyone should be asking these questions and demanding answers.
