Life is really confusing. And Christianity even more so.

The plain truth of Christianity becomes easily obscured by the chatter of the various “Christianities” and especially the chaos of easily falsified interpretations that have become the norm online. If you find yourself engaging in this chaos, repent, this is not truth-seeking, and it is certainly not Christ that you are participating in.

The very existence of the different denominations, all the way back to the great schism, is heartbreaking, tragic beyond measure, that our pride (east and west and every reformer) our own egos and political ambitions, became more important than Christ who is in our midst. If we want iron to sharpen iron, it must begin with humility to Christ.

In His mercy God allows these harmful schisms (harmful to us), a divine patience that is impossible for me to understand.

Like with the parable of the prodigal son, neither brother was “right”, the older brother was rebuked, and only through profound humility did the younger find his way back to the loving embrace of his father. And when I see sincere Christians misrepresent or ridicule other Christians, assured their interpretation is “right” and all other denominations are wrong or that you just need a Bible (or inversely, pretending they’re all right), we may need to stop and reflect that we are *all* wrong (all of us), for if truth was on our side who could be against us? There wouldn’t be schisms if truth was what we were seeking.

All lies die. Only truth remains in the end.

Only through profound humility can one even find truth.

You cannot debate or ridicule or coerce or deceive your way to truth (those just put more beams in your eyes). And yet how often do we faithfully acknowledge or even understand truthfully other denominations? How often do we misrepresent other interpretations, or criticize them while being blind to the faults in our own?

All it takes is ONE passage in scripture to falsify your interpretation, yet people will cherry pick only what serves their interpretation, their ego as judge of Christ and His message.

Obviously the schisms continue to exist because of this— truly it is a way to humility.

Let yourself be proven wrong, whether your non-denominational or reformed or Baptist or Catholic or Orthodox — let yourself *be* wrong, because you are not God, for only Christ is *right*, and to the degree you are actually right, you are at best the older brother to the prodigal son, and at worst lost in outer darkness.

Well said !

@hal tell me what people are saying about peptides

To be fair the term "cancer vaccine" could be miss used in this case. The governments might mean something else. They could trying to use the word vaccine as a buzzword.

Most anti-government revolutions, protests and movements also tend to make a region revert back to previous conditions or likely leave them worse off than before because they are moved by bad, incomplete or inconsistent ideas.

Bitcoin is a good idea. It will win and is winning without the need for violence. It's unique like that.

Natural rights, sound money, free speech, private property, voluntary contracts, free markets, free banking, common law, economic specialization, division of labour, self-ownership, right to self-defense, freedom of trade, natural justice are good ideas.

Economic planning, price controls, central banking, fiat money, forced wealth redistribution, arbitrary expropriation of property, egalitarianism, state-granted monopolies, positive law and social justice are bad ideas.

It's not some inevitable 'power vacuum' that a state fills.

It's a vacuum of good ideas about how humans ought to organize, interact, cooperate and resolve conflict that get filled by bad ideas about the same.

The extent to which the people in a region adopt a good idea or a bad idea determines their standard of living, level of civility, economic advancement, stability, peace and prosperity. I'd go out on a limb and add moral and spiritual advancement as well.

People in civilised and advanced economies, societies and cultures are lucky enough that they can peacefully advocate for the good ideas without starting from scratch, since they are already recognised and widely accepted to a certain extent, atleast implicitly.

Those who aren't as fortunate will have to do a lot more intellectual brunt work. Possibly, they would face some degree of violence and threat to their livelihood as well.

Thus, it isn't surprising that certain regions remain unstable, poor and uncivilised no matter what, while others do fine in this regard.

It's always the ideas that make or break a society.
