It's obvious you don't see what that has to do with Fuentes. Maybe focus a little less on information technology and a little more on information.

I've gone down the rabbit holes and watched several full Fuentes interviews and know what he believes.

I've even gone as far as watching full length interviews with people far more extreme than Fuentes, like Gypsy Crusader, who's like Fuentes on Steroids (both figuratively and literally)


Your personal insult notwithstanding... what exactly is this "information" you wanted to discuss?

Posting a 90-minute long video of an opinion-based interview isn't a valid rebuttal in a debate.

You're supposed to be giving me a counterpoint, not an hour and half long subjective homework assignment.

Does Jesus save anyone? Yes.
John 6:53-58 Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats me will live because of me. This is the bread which came down from heaven, not such as the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread will live forever.” This he said in the synagogue, as he taught at Capernaum. RSVCE

at some point you have to let the chips fall where they may.

its not our job to be the morality police, or insist that tax dollars be spent effectively. people are complacent and you have to let them be complacent to the point they get hurt before they wise up and change their ways.

teach your children the games both sides play and invest your money instead of donating it to political campaigns, you'll have more left over at the end of your life.

That is just a pathetic falsehood.
But you do you.

Belief in transcendent reality is not at issue in this discussion or even in this forum. There is no need for a Christian or a scientist to reconcile such beliefs with science.

But if the knowledge stems from some transcedent source then it is a possible source that science cannot measure that may be involved.

While I firmly understand your intention to inform @ChubbyCherub about the possible status about the letter of 2 Peter, just dropping the above statement on her without a finer, lengthier explanation about the possible problems with this letter probably isn't going to help her but rather upset her.

Personally, I think it's better to keep the label of Antilegomena for 2 Peter rather than placing it all too firmly into the Pseudepigraphal "file 13." But I'm not going to argue the point because I don't think the argument in favor or against its inclusion into the canon are as clear as the "majority voices" likes to make it out to be. In other words, although someday it might be shown that I'm flat out wrong, I think 2 Peter is underdetermined and it's probably better to refer to it with the benefit of the doubt.

Click to expand...

This is one of those issues that seems to be problematic due to rigid theories of inspiration as the basis for authority rather than building the authority around the recognition of the canon by the church. If the authoritative nature comes from the role it's played in church history, questions of authorship become more curiosities than challenges.

A behavioral construct is the means by which one interprets their experience and organizes their understanding of the world. Since when did "transgender" interpretation of their experience and organization of their understanding of the world... become an identity?

Ok we can agree.

From the link:

Two Christian families in India’s Chhattisgarh state were denied the right to bury deceased relatives in their native villages. In both incidents, locals blocked access to burial plots and insisted on Hindu rites as a condition for entry, forcing the families to travel elsewhere to perform final rites.

In the first case, a man from the Kodekurse area in Kanker district died on Nov. 5 after a long illness. The man’s family attempted to bury him in their ancestral land within the village but were blocked by other residents who objected to the family’s Christian faith, the U.K.-based group Christian Solidarity Worldwide reported.

Attempts to resolve the issue through police intervention failed. The officers reportedly declined to confront the villagers, leaving the family unable to proceed with the burial. With threats escalating, the Christian community placed the body in front of the local police station in protest.

Yes, kindness is not selfishness but it considers what is best for others even if it means being rejected by those we love.

Kindness is of the Kingdom. Selfishness is of the world we have made in our own image. Because we reject the world of man, its institutions, its politics, doctrines, the national way, etc, all based on selfishness, we set ourselves up as enemies, in churches and even within homes.

But how does one differentiate balanced from imbalanced? Surely you aren't suggesting that any attempt to override emotions with reason amounts to the introduction of imbalance. That would suggest that all reason amounts to imbalance.

I would suggest that balance occurs whenever emotions are tempered by reason, and that's all that stoicism attempts to do. It's not meant to 'snuff out' emotions, it's simply meant to temper them, so that the better of me can hopefully rise above the lesser of me.

It's a work in progress.

Not everything needs to be balanced.
