I know he stormed the temple, but I can't find anywhere it says in the bible that he had a group of armed men with him, or that he prevented a ceremony.

Let's be careful not to accidentally embellish details.

What building did he storm with a group of armed men, and what ceremony did he prevent? Please cite the verses you're talking about.

Do you think that "don't fight, because your kingdom is not of this world" wasn't the lesson that Jesus taught?

Or are you just lamenting the consequences of this teaching?

The verse you're talking about is 1 Corinthians 13:13, and the word there is not "caritas", it's "agape".

He convinced the mob not to stone the adulterer [John 8]...The followers of Nice Jesus love to quote the 'throw the first stone' verse...

Both verses are likely forgeries. They only appear in one manuscript that was written later than the other manuscripts we have that contain the book of John. The earlier manuscripts do not contain these verses. Research "Pericope adulterae" to find out more.

While we're often reminded that Jesus said 'live by the sword, die by the sword', we seem to ignore his other sword references. Like when he told his disciples to sell their cloaks and buy a sword [Luke 22].

The verse in Luke 22 precedes the event that caused Jesus to say 'live by the sword, die by the sword'. He wanted to use the swords as a lesson and to fulfill prophecy. He himself mentions the prophecy in Luke 22:37. The lesson was to not fight, because Christians have no need to fight, because their kingdom is not of this world.

Everything else this anon said is fine.

Can DoM see IP addresses? If not, then he has no basis of accusing anyone of being an alt.

The author of the tweet just posted this by itself.

The broader context is that this "journalist" has been doxxing and having beef with grummz and other people who he sees as "grifters", so by "angry people" he's probably referring to people who actually care about gaming as a hobby enough to be vocal about the cancers that are killing it.

These "Journalists" are happy to go after old-school GGers, or people who criticize DEI, censorship, localization, or updates for "modern audiences".

But they won't make enemies of their buddies in the games industry, because they directly profit from them. They're not going to grill a corporate exec about layoffs, studio closures, or why they made a failing product, for example.

Nick and his team is getting paid tens of thousands per month from Patreon, but STILL he refuses to be critical of the games industry. It saddens me to see him waste this opportunity.

We can be more organized, to clearly present to Dom that new mods is what the community wants.

We should gather the nominations, then make a second topic asking people to vote on them by placing a comment (from a known, non-handshake account). "No new mods" should also be an option.

Then we should make a new topic with the results. Sort of like the KIA vote that was ignored, and was the start of KIA2.

And if the results of the vote gets ignored, we move.

Nick's excuse, in one of his tweets, is that "it's not his home, it's his business!" Except he works from home, so it's one and the same.

Then someone trolled him by posting a message about how they found his house in the PUBLIC ownership records and he whines that "it's not the same!"

The bible only speaks about one unforgivable sin, at Hebrews 10:26. Sinning deliberately after having knowledge of the truth, is the unforgivable sin.

Child rape, theft, murder, is not necessarily the unforgivable sin. Doing those things after coming to know Jesus, is.

why would god, take 2 different sins. and equate them both, to be equally bad?

They are equally forgiven, not equally bad.

this is indeed an indictment on the bible.

Have you even read the bible?

Them shutting down CE was a good thing. Ever since 2016, they stopped allowing viewpoints from all but one side. It was either "you agree wholeheartedly with whatever opinions the left-leaning mods hold, or you get banned".

This created a toxic wasteland that the new owners apparently wanted to quarantine.

So now the mods can all smugly rule over their kingdom of ashes. Congrats!

The left scolds the right for having standards of dress for school children, making accusations of pedophilia for potentially "being distracted" by cleavage or short skirts. Meanwhile, they cover up anime girls. They have no principles.

This verse about the woman only appears in younger manuscripts, and is absent in older manuscripts, therefore, many bibles have a note saying that these verses may be a forgery.

But yes, I would agree, forgiveness depends upon repentance.

was there more than 1 slave? Oh wait there was.

Okay, prove it. All accounts say "the slave", so please explain to us all how "the slave" really means "a slave".

Edit: yeah, that's what I thought.

acoder 1 point ago +1 / -0

I verified it already. All books say "the slave". You didn't refute it.

acoder 1 point ago +1 / -0

Yes only one account gives the name of a slave who got his ear cut off.

...And your point is? Oh, I guess you don't have one.

So once again you don’t have any irrefutable proof that it was only one slave correct?

I gave my irrefutable proof already. You didn't refute it. So I guess we're done here.

Because both accounts say "the slave" not "a slave", and the account in John gives him a name. Neither account says that "slaves", plural, were attacked. In fact, all four gospels, Matthew, Mark, Like, and John all say "the slave".

Don't you think it would be a huge, unlikely, coincidence that two or four different apostles drew swords and managed to cut off ears of four different slaves of the same high priest? Were they trained specifically to cut off ears?

This is just sad.

acoder 1 point ago +1 / -0

However, you can’t prove they are both the same account of the same person being attacked.

Yes I can, easily.

Both gospels explicitly mention a date, and a celebration around all these events occurred. The Passover, and the meal that took place on that date. This is the "last supper". John, in chapter 13, and Matthew in 26.

There is only one Last Supper. After this last supper, they all went to the garden of Gethsemane, where he was betrayed and arrested.

Both accounts depict Jesus being betrayed by Judas, with him bringing the ones who would arrest him. This only happened once.

Are you saying that Jesus was betrayed by Judas and arrested twice, and in both cases a slave of the high priest had his ear cut off?

Did Jesus escape one of those times, so that he needed to be arrested twice? How many "last suppers" did he have? How many times did he meet Pilate?

Read your Bible, you are embarrassing yourself. This is basic Bible stuff that children know.

So Matthew 26:51 talks about someone who drew a sword, and cut off the ear of the slave of the high priest.

And John 18:10 says that Simon Peter drew a sword, and cut off the ear of the slave of the high priest.

And you think that these are two different events? You think that "someone" in Matthew isn't Peter?

Wow. That's sad.

You seem to be entirely unaware that the gospels recount the same events from different perspective and different words. You have so little bible knowledge that you think that Matthew 26:52 and John 18:10 describe different events. You've clearly proven how well you know your bible, and that is, not at all.

That's sad. You are like a sheep, skinned and thrown about, without a shepherd.

Read your bible. If you even have one, that is.

That's what I thought, you can't answer my questions, nor do you know the difference between "your" and "you're".

If your starting argument is that part of the Bible is just wrong because of man-made error

What is considered to be "the bible"? What counts as "Scripture"? Does it include the book of Enoch? Maccabees? Does it include verses that are only present in younger manuscripts, but not more recently found older manuscripts?
