If one is to take your question at face value and instead of the evasive, leading argument used most by Lawyers seeking to give themselves a avenue of innocent questioning -- it's Free Will. It's always been about Free Will, God's greatest gift to humankind.
The freedom to choose is the freedom to make the wrong choice. If God had to forcibly interdict post the death of Jesus Christ, the second Adam - then he becomes no better than Lucifer who is allowed to cheat instead of holding to his absolute principles as the absolute, creator Lord of existence. His creation, Humanity, must and is allowed to act freely on the material plane as designed by God and thus are swayed by the easy sins and mistakes.
You make the age old Jewish argument of "if God is so powerful, why does he allow-", full stop right there. Because its Free Will, humanity makes the mistakes of mistranslations and alterations of texts from a position of the Sin of Pride.
There is one simple answer, the (KJV) King James Version [classical old English] or (NKJV) New King James Version [for more accessible 1900s style English]. There is no other choices for a few reasons:
-
Oldest, direct English translation of the Greek Orthodox texts via a pre-compromised Anglican Priest dedicated to the purest English 1:1 translation with Greek/English Orthodox Priest alongside to give proper connotation useage. Why does this matter? See next.
-
Any English Bible translation after the NKJV is compromised by (((Modern Publishers))) who directly started to "simplify" and "alter" for the good of the people and tampered with crucial passages naming the Pharisees and the Jewish attackers of early Christians.
-
Because of the oldest English translation, the chosen English passage translation alongside the earlier Greek/Anglo Orthodox Priests allowed for the more mystical/spiritual elements to be kept rather then the disgustingly simple, sanitized texts such as the NIV, Scofield, etc.
I hope this helps and I can't reiterate how critical it is to at minimum work with the NKJV Bible. It is a more spiritual read, the English will also challenge you to grow as a reader if it confuses or troubles you at times, and you can rest assured knowing that it is from a time when the enemies of the Christian Faith were identified and kept from touching crucial documents via third party organizations.
God Bless.
I still remain consistently flattered at their anime, vidya, and manga that is a love-letter to knightly, heroic European myth & history. They even do classical ost's better than modern composers in many cases. Everywhere else the other artists have hatred, mockery, and vitriol, none moreso than amongst our own creative class. But many Japanese, like Tolkien, uphold the beauty and show what could be again. For that they have my thanks, my smile, and support. I pray that I am able to return such a offering with a equal measure of goodwill in the bad times ahead.
The continual problem of one saved, always saved crowd where modern sects of Christianity believe as long as they believe without honoring the traditions, without being one with the Church on Earth, and without living the Commandments, the Creed, the Tenants -- they can't be judged by peers and will be ultimately saved due to Divine Mercy. ... Sad, misguided fools may not have the ending they think they will gain.
bit of a eyebrow raise to see him pop up here, good taste.
TLDR: he has good 5min flash updates on geopolitical events before many news stations do. i also need to take a look at his comms guide since folllowing in the footsteps of one of my grandfathers as a hamm radio operator would make him smile from up in Heaven.
It never fails, Evangelist Prots coming out of the woodwork to attack healthy beauty & good games right when it can do the most damage to the reputation of Christianity in the eyes of the upcoming generation.
Pisses me off as a Christian who is trying to undo the petty damage of the 2000's and grow the faith through proper masculine values (strength, honor, tough compassion, stoic filial love, consummate capability, responsibility, good leadership, and zero tolerance to demonic corruption) and by leading by example. The Orthodox were right in shutting down intrusive missionary work because its how you salt the earth instead of showing a proper path forward by being a better option. Fixing the Western Christian ethos is such a task and this Puritan social media soapboxing is not how you do it and makes them in the same camp as the Woke demons we've been fighting.
I'd honestly say its 50% useful idiots and 50% bad faith actors being activated.
A key point for current devs to realize right now is that the environment around game releases and the goodwill trust has been extremely damaged by hostile DEI, ESG, Woke activists. No amount of transparency can truly make up for post-release 3rd party honest gameplay reaction from arbitrary sources that individual gamers trust. Pre-ordering is dead in the eyes of prudent, smart gamers & only fools do so.
For indie's and honest, true devs who love the soul of games - continue to stay true to your vision, give small updates that reveal the true soul of your game, and stay honest & loyal to the fanbase you've built. Also never give out half-baked info dumps or conjecture. Under promise & over deliver.
I'll tack on to this, the Bond series should be a perpetual 50's and exploration of that world tangent in all things. OF COURSE, that will never happen because perception control is a found basis of their work and any alternative lifestyle with higher propensity of standard of living would be killed off.
But man, what a great series it would've been to enjoy.
yup. remember senior, established gold miners/silver miners if you need to play the spot price of precious metals. otherwise if you want leverage, use the junior miners etfs like SILJ or GDXJ.
never trade the direct, paper price of any metal, way too ((manipulated)) by Goldman Sachs and the other commodities desks.
yeah, that's pretty bad. the holy see allowing the infallibility of the pope proclamation in the face of the other church fathers has had too dangerous a ripple effect. sspx should hopefully see a influx.
