Yea exactly. What is the most secure setup in your estimation nostr:npub1lnms53w04qt742qnhxag5d6awy7nz6055flnmjkr6jg39hm86dlq7arrnt
You’ll have to look into a few core ideas of Catholicism for the answer, the early church fathers, what they taught in regards to tradition, the liturgy and the Mass, the early Church and community, being guided by the Holy Spirit, all of which predate the Bible, the 73 book Bible canon didn’t official exist until 382 Council of Rome. - it’s a Catholic (and Orthodox since they were the same thing then) book.
Said in another way, with out a deep history of all the intertwined teachings and traditions and writings that continue without break after the death of the death of the apostles you’ll struggle with most things related to the faith, because it’s all one unbroken apostolic teaching guided by the Holy Spirit, in the Church. Finally looking into the magisterium would be the last key.
Ah good aul Jay haha
That’s not entirely accurate. Both religions have teachings around both of these ideas.
Speaking of Christianity you’ve St Teresa of Avila who says:
“I only beg you to test it [by interior recollection], even at the cost of a little trouble. I assure you…you will find Him within you” (see The Way of Perfection, Chapters 28-29).
Then in Hinduism you’ve Bhakti yoga which relates to the indwelling of the divine within, but then you have things regarding Brahman, whose said to be penetrating and filling all things, which is something that St Paul says of Christ with those very words.
Anyways that’s a bit of that.
That sounds amazing 🤩
I was on it briefly earlier for what I can’t even remember, but after a few seconds I was ‘what is this shit’ I was genuinely perplexed it look awful, the adds were just glaring and then it was all random totally odd ball replies. Mad shit altogether.
I was never into/on social media, nostr doesn’t feel like legacy social media, it reminds me more of early day chat room stuff irc forums etc.
Probably has a good bit to do with like minded people (bitcoin and whatnot), who I’m becoming more familiar with each day. That is community I guess. Anyways ya blah blah, nostr is nice time yaw.
Haha that’s brilliant. Has a double nerd angle to it now because I’m making my way to Oregon watching 1883.
No problem at all. Ok but what if we both together ‘go to Bible and see’ and we both see something different? What happened before there was a Bible to go and see?
…the light of the sun will be sevenfold.
Spoilers are anti-vibe.
To avoid I presume is it?
“Because what is wrong with some mild sex play? What is the big deal? You know I can see forbidding, or being concerned about, situations where a larger man is convincing a small boy to let him have anal intercourse with him. I can see why people might start to be concerned about this, because does this young child I'm talking about a really young child, say, eight years old is he really cognizant about what is going on here, what anal intercourse is. But just sex play? What is wrong? I feel I have a radical sixties libertarian position on this question. I fail to see what is wrong with erotic fondling with any age. That's the direction I would go right now. I mean the anal inter course thing, that's going to be a hard sell for a thousand years probably. But I would really want to push the issue of what is wrong with”
A reader had written Paglia a letter, asking her what she thought of Ginsberg's support for NAMBLA, to which Paglia replied: "As far as Ginsberg's pro-NAMBLA stand goes, this is one of the things I most admire him for. I have repeatedly protested the lynch-mob hysteria that dogs the issue of man-boy love. In 'Sexual Personae,' I argued that male pedophilia is intricately intertwined with the cardinal moments of Western civilization." She argued that Ginsberg was "the apostle of a truly visionary sexuality," explaining that from a pagan perspective "Ginsberg's celebration of boy-love was pure and sinless, demonstrating the limitations of Judeo-Christian paradigms of sexuality."
