So what's with Nostradamus? People are saying he predicted Queens death now. He must have had a huge dick, just extremely based.
>>21048818The guy wrote poetry with some vague meaning that allowed for people to later interpret it in any way they want after the event has already happened.He was based in that he found a sure way for gullible morons to keep bringing up his name long after he is dead.

Someone explain Christianity to me. I just don’t get it, not symbolically, not literalistically. It just makes no sense to me. Christ had to die…. for what? What did this actually accomplish? How does him being tortured to death accomplish anything? We always say “Christ died for our sins” but what does this even mean? The only way I can understand this is if it’s like that Catholic saint Kolbe who offered his own life in place of an innocent person in a concentration camp. I can see how that person could say “saint Kolbe died for me”, I can see how that is a heroic action. But with Christ, he is literally God himself. He IS the judge, like the Nazi prison guard, who has complete authority over our lives. So it’s more like that Nazi guard said “you have to die” and then added “but I’ll die in your place instead!” just before shooting himself. He could’ve just refrained from killing anybody, including himself.Also if hell is the just punishment for sinners then how did Christ take on our punishment if he got tortured only momentarily? None of it makes any sense to me.
>>21048004The 1582 Douay-Rheims used both, as did the KJV.
>>21048393>bothSo it did in fact use Ghost, yes.
>>21048419Yes, Spiritus Sanctus.
>>21040758The very short version is that by incarnating as a human to do the free will earth life and overcoming in every point even to the death, God opened a path for humans that was previously not open and made it impossible for them to (previously) reach the highest goal in the development
>>21045856No retard the way reality functions is intrinsic to God's being, there are essential characteristic features of his being that exist that he expresses through his creation and urges us to follow. he doesnt just arbitrarily make everything up just because, that is insane and paradoxical to believe. The laws of reality are not above god, you completely misunderstood what i was saying, the laws of reality are an expression of God's nature, and our existence now is fallen because we walked away from this perfect order, and he calls us to come back to it. For example, man being made in God's image, that implies God has a defined image that is essential to his being, its not just an arbitrary thing he made up (and its not "above" him either, moron). And when you actually do separate the things he determines as right or wrong from the functioning of the universe (which I have no idea why anyone would ever want to do this) what is the reason God would determine anything as right or wrong in the first place, if it actually is just totally arbitrary? This line of thinking is simply refuted by the old euthyphro dilemma.

What are some books that go deeper into this?>There is no greater danger to the wellbeing of man than the belief there is any meaningful escape from the purgatory we have been plunged into from past sins of reincarnation. To accept the cards dealt is to find true nirvana and conquer the suffering of the human spirit and to take control and reign in the cyber hell that you are wired to, is to become truly a manifested egregore, an avatar of salvation.I wish to leave the flesh behind.

>>21048426Sometimes it gets a bit repetitive and is not something you pick up and leave because a lot of plot points and characters reappear back and forth. The plot is is similar to a classical fantasy travel adventure with a buddhist twist, it's fun seeing the group antics and how they develop.Which version you have? The short one is ok and is around 300 pages long, if you liked it you can try reading the complete one. If you have that read it, if you have the full version you can read the first chapters and see if it's worth it or not.

I wrote my only fantasy novel in a low disclosure format that assumed you were a contemporary of the characters and all the exposition was through context and descriptions of people and place. I wanted to recreate how it felt to read Dostoevsky - this sense of a vast, settled culture with its idiosyncrasies, biases, and preferences slowly revealing themselves in a mostly organic fashion.

I've decided to convert to the secular religion of Bardolatry. What do I need to know before joining the faith? Would it be useful to memorize all of a character's lines, such as Macbeth or Hamlet? How much do I need to know of the life of William Shakespeare (PBUH)?
>>21048644Remind me again when Shakespeare defined Christianity as no longer sufficient as Jesus did the Old Testament?Shakespeare wasn't trying to make a secular worldview, while Jesus was trying to make a Christian worldview.
>>21048641What evidence do you have for that?

Whatever happened to the project to translate the complete Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Bible into English, including books and textual variants only in the Amharic or Ge’ez versions?https://ethiopianorthodoxbible.wordpress.com/It seems to have been abandoned since 2018, and I hope that isn’t true
>>21048486Real Ge'ez interpreters are in Tigray and Eritrea in the higher echelons, in the priesthood. Amharic is closer to being a Cushitic language than a Semitic language, despite its Ge'ez alphabet. The complete meaning wouldn't be able to be translated over. May those who are involved in this project perish and those heretics that attempt to aid these Esau agents of destruction, be defeated.
>>21048540https://youtu.be/OcC1f1jqCPI?t=9
>>21048486I'm known as Ethiopianon in /clg/. I spotted fidal, so I decided to check this post out. Like you, I have had an interest in that project, but I have no clue what is happening with it. On the bright side, I can tell you that all sorts of great things are happening in the field of Ge'ez. The future looks very bright.>>21048540You have no clue what you are talking about. There are scholars of Ge'ez around the world. You don't have to be a priest to know Ge'ez. Two of the best modern Ethiopian Ge'ez scholars are neither Tigrayan nor Tigrinyan, and they obviously aren't Eritrean either. I'm referring to Ephraim Isaac and Getachew Haile. Amharic is a Semitic language; that's that. No translation captures the entire meaning of the original. That's the case for every single language and every single translation. You clearly don't know that you are talking about a book that is itself a translation (NT) and a translation of a translation (OT).
