iirc Preterists believe most if not all prophecy has already been fulfilled, basically disallowing any dual-fulfillment, and their eschatology is wacky and unbiblical. I would suggest everyone avoid this site.

@Mulloch94 said in What are non-Peaty things you still do?:

Probably the biggest thing is I'm unsure how committed I am to the nitric oxide stuff. I think it's probably good to limit some types of nitric oxide (like iNOS) because they increase endotoxin and permeability. But increase or at least maintain other types of nitric oxide, like eNOS.

When you dive a little deeper, there's actually some common "peaty" things that increase eNOS too, like mildronate. And even thyroid itself according to this https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0753332220300718

Everytime I play with nitric oxide I get a killer migraine

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

So the Bible here is not condemning the rich, simply saying they are more concerned about things that aren't of spiritual value.

What do you think this would lead to, naturally? What do you think happens when you're more concerned about things than about Heaven?

Being carnally minded leads you selfishness. Spiritually minded leads to selflessness. What roads or avenues it takes you doesn't matter as long as the world or wiles of the devil or whatever you wish to call it has it's grasp on your attention rather than God. See James chapter 2 for example, keeping in mind James is talking to people who believe on God already and aren't working, not talking to everyone including non-believers.

He was not commanding ALL rich men to give everything they have unto the poor, but he was telling how this one man who wanted to please God, how he could further please Him.

Hm... What makes him different?

He asked what else he needed to do, Christ told him. What makes him different is he is seeking the truth/God rather than more 'things'.

Not sure how this helps you at all promote communism, it clearly points out how the ratio of what you put in to what you have is pleasing to God. I guess rich people=bad because not giving more? Pretty weak.

Why wouldn't they? Do they need the money?

God only commands us to give a tithe, 10% of our gross income, what people give beyond that is up to them. God only requires our faith, beyond that what you do with your money or time reflects your obedience towards God. Like James 2 above.

Exodus 20:17

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's

Blocking hides all posts which is fantastic.
I like how he had no counter points other than literal propaganda posters.

@Norwegian-Mugabe

I think you misread. The KJV is the only version in English that you should be reading. All other (per)versions twist scripture.

James 5:1-7

Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.

>quoting anything but the King James Version
Disgusting

The entire book of James is rebuking those that trust in themselves or their works rather than the finished work of Jesus Christ. It also rebukes those that do no work as having a dead faith - meaning not they are not saved, but rather they are unprofitable servant. So the Bible here is not condemning the rich, simply saying they are more concerned about things that aren't of spiritual value.

Matthew 6:19-21

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Another passage that came to mind that you might want to twist is Matthew 19:24

And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

Now you see here... But that would be taking things out of context, let's look at a parallel passage in Mark 10, in context:

And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother. And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth. Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions. And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

Now you see here, Christ loved this man. This man had earnest intentions of pleasing God! He wanted to work more for God! The man went away sorrowful because he realized that he had so much to give and had lived his life without giving, he lacked charity. He did not walk away because he was denied access into heaven. Christ knew this man was laying treasures up for himself and pointed out his sin. He was not commanding ALL rich men to give everything they have unto the poor, but he was telling how this one man who wanted to please God, how he could further please Him.

Concerning Cain and Abel, Genesis 4:

And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.

The story is about jealousy. Anyone can see that. But to keep with it; Hebrews 11:4 says

By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.

Why was it more excellent?
Hebrews 12:24

And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

Christ's blood speaks better things than Abel's sacrifice. God was more pleased with Abel's sacrifice not because of monetary value but because of spiritual value. Every sacrifice of the Old Testament was a picture of Jesus Christ on the cross. Blood speaks to God because it represents life.

And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.

But this is different topic for a different time...

Mark 12:41-44

And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much. And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

Not sure how this helps you at all promote communism, it clearly points out how the ratio of what you put in to what you have is pleasing to God. I guess rich people=bad because not giving more? Pretty weak. Just wanted to post the KJV.

Hope this was helpful.

Just for fun here are a few passages about people not working:

1 Timothy 5:8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

2 Thessalonians 3:10-11 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.

I experienced a nausiated reaction looking at that channel. Long hair big eared faggot who has strong opinions about something that he claims isn't going to ruin his life.

If they are all like this I hate them, yeah.

If you wanted to live apart from society you would just do it Ruby Ridge style or at the bare minimum buy a farm or farmette and raise the land and animals on your own. That would be more commendable and interesting.

@GreekDemiGod said in HEIGHTMAXXING - LOG 1:

Currently doing affirmations. Call me crazy, but I swear I can feel my bones “activating” and hurting when I’m affirming.
And my POV feels higher.

“I am taller and taller”
“I am growing each day”
“I am <desired-height> tall”

Repeated at least 100 times per day.

I am 6ft1, not bad, but wouldn’t mind being 6ft3 or 6ft4.

"Grow, grow, grow"

Languages can take roughly 1000-2000 hours of study to be able to hold conversations in them, depending on the complexity of the language and how it differs from your mother tongue. With this in mind, you have to think about the utility of the language you wish to learn, as well as how much you enjoy the language. Are you learning Japanese because you want to be a businessman or English teacher one day? How often are you forced to interact with Latinos in your community? Do you want to read the New Testament in the original Greek language? Ask yourself these types of questions and determine if its worth the time. Then immerse yourself in it. 15 minutes of day is not satisfactory to learn a language and you should aim for as much exposure as possible. Pimsleur on the commute. Books at night. Vacationing the country. Duolingo in the line at the DMV. Changing to a different server on Dota 2. Consistency is important, and making use of the language outside study as well. "Use it or lose it." Hope these thoughts help.
