Maybe he was just joking around?

You misunderstand Christianity in the way most people do.

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." - Ephesians 2:9

"know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified." - Galatians 2:16

So Christianity is simply placing your faith in Jesus Christ. If you believe that God forgave your sins at the behest of Christ, and that you will enter an eternal kingdom also as a son of God, wouldn't you eventually be more liable to forgive and love others?

So being good is a side-effect, not the point, of Christianity. God will not let me enter heaven because of how good I am, and if that was the measure none of us would make it. The point of Christianity is to know God and have faith that through Christ's death on the cross, burial, and resurrection, he can impart the mercy of God onto you. That he quite literally died for every sin everyone had ever committed.

“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” - 2 Corinthians 5:21

if (the_world_is_evil && the_world_hates_the_word_of_god && the_world_hated_jesus_enough_to_kill_him_despite_him_doing_nothing_wrong ){

console.log("maybe it's something you should look into");

}

So if you care so much about evil you should ask yourself, who was the only person to walk the Earth who had no evil. That would be Jesus. And what did Jesus say? He said he was God, and quoted the old testament that correctly spoke of his coming.

Shouldn't you look into it?

>There is no threat, unless you do exactly what I say.

You do your taxes every year so you can avoid jail time. But you won't simply call out to Jesus Christ with a true heart and ask for salvation?

Think about it! That's all it takes!

I'll only respond to your first part since solving the problem of hell differs from person to person.

>don't say stuff like "the circumcision of the heart" (lol!).

This is not a term I made, it's biblical. And as my post says I'm aware the entire gospel is foolish to unbelievers, and the Bible and God is aware of that. That's the basic hurdle of accepting the gospel.

"But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men."

1 Corinthians 23-25

"But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;"

1 Corinthians 27

"At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children."

Matthew 11:25

But just as sin entered the world through one man, it was defeated through one man as well, Jesus Christ. There is no condemnation for anyone who believes in Jesus. So being saved from hell is quite simple, which is why it's called "the good news" or the gospel. And that's God's plan for humanity, and he's begging you to simply seek this man named Jesus.

God's wisdom is made that much more powerful in what some might call foolishness, just as he prescribed circumcision to the Jews. Abraham was required to put off his pride and simply believe God, that circumcision was a commandment from God for the Jews, and this faith in God is what saves. You don't think Abraham received a lot of judgement for prescribing circumcision?

Just as Christians receive judgement for prescribing the new circumcision, which is the circumcision of the heart to believe in Jesus Christ. It requires people to put off their pride, realize their very nature offends God (because he is perfect so anything less than perfect is an offense to him) and repent of their unbelief in the only begotten son of God, who knew our same struggles here on Earth and was killed without reason so that we could live. This belief covers our heads from wrath, because now when God looks at us he sees Christ.

So it's called the good news because it is. We can defeat death and enter into an unimaginable state of perfection. What I find with people who don't believe is that they're blinded by what they think Christianity is. So for you I would say you're blinded by the problem of hell. But if God tells us it is real, that is true and you have no say in the matter. Your belief or unbelief doesn't change the truth of the word of God. God is above politics, above human wisdom, and also above the people that claim his name.

I should note that I used to have the same opinion as you! No judgement!

I had one for work and it would get so hot that it would freeze just browsing with a few browsing tabs and Teams open. Not every single time but enough to be annoying. Fastest spec laptop I have ever owned and also the slowest.

This is awesome!

Mac OS on my iPad Mini 6 would make it a perfect device.

Made this super quick over a couple days, so far it's really fun to use while I read wikipedia. The best way to use it is with tampermonkey's @match function

In the future I want to make it its own extension, make it look nicer (I wanted to keep it under 8Kb just for fun but will have to increase that for better styling), and have better animations.

Thanks for this!

I know I'm being negative like your article says but your font / background color absolutely obliterated my ability to see for about 30 seconds after closing.

I found a version of TenFourFox that has the moniker "7450" which you can find in their historical releases https://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/. I wasn't expecting it to work and then it just did.

This would also be good for something like https://search.marginalia.nu/ where the results you'll get are mostly text-based.

I bought an iBook G4 1.33ghz single-core with 512mb of RAM and 40gb spinning disk to use as my daily driver. It's perfect for reading Wikipedia and other text-based sites and I just found a really good Bible program specifically made for OSX 10.4. I feel very focused as I don't get side-tracked by YouTube because I can't run it! I almost never program outside of work unless I have an idea for something so I put my more powerful Macbook in the closet!

It has definitely brought adventure back to the internet for me instead of the YouTube algorithm kicking my ass every day recommending stuff that I NEED to watch.

This is simply a lie and you know it.

"If you're vaccinated, you won't get COVID" - Joe Biden

>I'm very angry at the dumbasses who haven't been infected and refuse to get vaccinated, including family of mine who died because of that.

You use your dead relative as proof for your case in the same breath as calling them a dumbass.

This goes to prove a point. Does it matter if everyone is vaccinated & "safe", at the expense of our dignity and respect as a species?

Yet we have many people who want to attempt to vaccinate the entire world 4-5 times over in order to defeat a common cold. Crazy times.

Use Ruby with Sorbet as a type-checker

I like how you're basically like "he didn't mean it like that" and then go on to not support your claim at all lmao.

I'd be a supporter of vaccines as well if they were a new scientific technology, not corrupted by big pharma for profit / to make infinite customers. The COVID shots are not a vaccine either it's why we're still in this mess. If you still deny that reality after all that has happened and continues to happen then no one can help you.

Let's see here. YOU pay for the vaccine with YOUR tax dollars, every shot administered also is paid with YOUR tax dollars, marketing paid with YOUR tax dollars, mandates paid with YOUR tax dollars. And we have the most infections / deaths ever occuring around the world.

Accept that you're being scammed and you might start to understand why the tree of liberty needs the blood of tyrants.

I can tell you're stuck in the left/right braintrap

Actually the people who formed the US say otherwise. The tree of liberty is watered with the blood of tyrants.

How would the first link be fake? lmao

The world would be a better place if more politicians and their ilk were terrified of the people.

More walls, security, and protections for them means less freedom for us.

They've had walls up for just a year and what do we have? Federal mandates for medical procedures, 9 supreme court justices deciding whether or not 30% of people will lose their jobs or have a forced medical procedure.

The easiest way to tell the difference between a real and fake is by the white "recycle" sticker

https://preview.redd.it/83f0fqegasa11.jpg?width=1263&format=...

fake batteries have a poorly printed, "fat" looking battery on the recycle sticker and the real ones have a slender properly printed one. For context in the image the bottom one is fake.

This is happening to every industry. There is an obvious consolidation and massive wealth transfer still ongoing. Sickening

Performance wise, there is still a lot of headroom for even larger ASCII animations. This one is 300 characters wide and comes to about 2.1mb served in JSON! Kinda big so we can see Keanu's face... but animations with simple shapes can be much smaller!
