The best case for Rome being something that's, at least legally, recognized more broadly is Acts 22:25-28
Wasn't Pontius Pilate the Roman governor (ie dictator) of Judea?
So far as I can tell "Emperor" is basically a euphemism for "King", which various societies have had severe phobia about.
https://www.etymonline.com/word/emperor
The Roman emperors took the title of "Imperator" meaning something like "conquering general" because the Romans might have revolted if the rulers took the title of "Rex" (King).
The concept of "Empire" is a later invention that the people of that time would not have used.
https://www.etymonline.com/word/empire
The etymology is literally 'an area which is ruled', which Pilate's central role seems to establish.
So, I think you are playing a word game rather than thinking clearly.
Moreover, if you understand how the Roman governorship worked you see clearly that the Romans could never have crucified Christ. Once Pilate declares him innocent it would be murder to crucify him anyway.
I find it very interesting that "Empyrean" means "on fire" in Greek btw :fire:

I'm taking the Word as my one true foundation and I'm seeing where that takes me.
Mainstream history, like most other teachings of men, doesn't make sense and is full of contradictions. So, especially when it also contradicts three Bible, I'm not looking at it for this exercise.
Wikipedia can say whatever it wants about Pilate, I'm not reading it. Who is he in the Bible?
If that exercise sounds totally retarded to you, no problem.
Daniel (one of the last OT prophets) predicts the rise of a Greek reign. So wouldn't it make more biblical sense if that is the political context the NT would open up with?

I'm trying to figure out in what context the New Testament kicks off, by only looking within the Bible itself.
What links tertrachs, denarii and Caesar specifically to the Rome of the Bible?
(and not the Rome we were given in history)
I don't see that link.
Where does it say that Herod is a Roman? Or Pilate? Or Augustus?
If I don't step out of the Bible and try to figure out what reign people are under at the start of the New testament, I don't come to the conclusion that Rome (a location that is mentioned a handful of times) is a huge empire under which rule everyone is living.
That's a link some translators make and seem to sneak in there, though.
οικος (oikos) doesn't mean ROMAN World. It doesn't even necessarily mean World for that matter 😉.
Excuse my bad English and non existing vlog skills 😃 hope this explains it a bit better

Thanks! Neat system 🔥.
I think the confusion comes from the word "oven" hehe, which you seem to use for "stove" 😉.
Anyways, I like that of set up a looooot. I'll be renovating another ruin (so more like building from scratch actually 😅) that we have on the farm, into a big house in the next 2-3 years. Just got the permit.
For that, I'm looking into combining what you have + floor heating pipes + a bigger #vortexstove.
What do you do for hot water in summer?
I don't see anything linking Ceasar to Rome specifically though.
If anything, these things seem to be mentioned in more of a worldwide "Greek Empire" of sorts.
There's no Roman Empire in the Bible.
Just a place (city?) called Rome, that some people mention and go to. And one mention of the language used there. That's it.

Wait what, lol, how is that a "regular" oven 😅?
I'm interested. What is the model you've got?
Yes, we heat or house with the vortex :Check:
Show me your #vortexstove is on, without showing me :fire:

Or three kids and a house build 😅.
I'm gaining muscle with zero actual :work-out: work outs these days, lol.
Jesus:

Christians:
"You mean, wear it as jewelry, riiiight? :padme:
There's no word for "Forever" in the entire Bible. Yet most translations are full of it.
"Eonian Life" is the number one mistranslated phrase. Into any variant of "forever", "eternity", etc...
Hiding the entire notion of cycles (or ages). And replacing it with notions like ":90percent: of people being tormented in Hell, for literal eternity, after they die".
Talking about "Hell". There's not one word for that neither. All mistranslations of "the grave", "the valley of Hinnom", etc...
Your porn = Your papers
The noun θλιψις (thlipsis), that most Bibles translate as "Tribulation", means:
Pressure from the mob
Satoshi Nakamoto in Hebrew would mean:
Concealed fire, clean death
And Bitcoin:
A state of secure confidence
should i renew the https://emojito.meme domain? not sure if someone is still using it, i guess there are not many alternatives for creating emoji packs. i think noStrudel allows you to do it?
Jumble PR > Domain renewal 😜
Aight :OK:
For chat joined forces are :110percent: needed. Nothing is anywhere near the bar rn.
Standalone blog/article app: I'm still not sure if it's worth scaling up. (without adding community-angle and other content types to cater to specific research or blogger crowds).
And Grimoire is your best fit for a lone-wolf project.
Testing our #vortexstove :fire:
Besides what Laser said there sadly ain't much rn.
Even just for curating what I personally dig up all over the web, a properly working Zapchat with a #Peatsr community should help.
Start a podcast and invite Dinkov 😹
Video being more costly, makes it:

👎 Influencer-takes-all in a global feed setting

Checking your resources on divine council etc... is what lead me to all this, oops 😜.
1) Daily driver should :110percent: have signer + wallet built in
2) There's very little reason for not giving the option to use external signers and wallets
3) Current Damus beta apk is waaaay to beta (in its performance, UI randomness and geeky UX) to be such a daily driver
Yup :110percent:
Slide in modal is even more awesome imo, if you go for the chat bubble look.
Yup, quite some annoying bugs like this.

Yeah, good points. Although you have MIME to lean on. At least that's how nostr:npub1l5sga6xg72phsz5422ykujprejwud075ggrr3z2hwyrfgr7eylqstegx9z and nostr:npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku propose it in their spec.
In any case, I'm all for moving the specs away from a central repo and into wikis. That then can be grouped in an index that can be referenced in actual App Releases.
Very biased in the other sense here 😜
They are slightly Community hack-able like that yes. Lol 😅 #lowbar
