@postfran_@luna9o9 The biggest difference in repentance for these two is that in Catholicism, one visits a priest to confess and be cleansed; whereas to a Protestant, one is cleansed by God and only God. The “work,” however, is a different act from repentance— Protestants repent in private prayer.
@postfran_@luna9o9 The sin-repentance trope is relatively the same in both ideologies. I think this is the misconception: Protestants do not work to work off their sin; they work simply because Jesus said to (Sola Scriptura). Protestants also have that “clean slate” repentance form you mentioned.
@B_Christs_Amb@Toneskeee Yea, Jesus glorifies God, and expects us all to do the same. Jesus didn’t do it for his own glory, and we know this because he took no credit for the miracles and accepted no status; instead he gave all of the glory to God. Only through faith in God are people saved.
@curiosityonx Rather than signifying an actual change in expansion rate, the *perceived* increase in rate indicates more so the direction of travel.
Think as if you are watching a car come around a bend; the car appears to move faster when the boundary is stretched by curving outward.
@curiosityonx The James Webb telescope is seeing further into space at a higher magnification. You’re looking at it through a new lens, and that lens is magnifying the light at a faster rate. If anything, this discovery speaks more to the curvature around the (expanding) edges of the universe.
@yhbryankimiq Well Islam deliberately contradicts itself. A servant to God, by definition, must obey prophetic Law. In Islam, Jesus is revered as a prophet.
All this being true, indicates that Mohammad (if he truly was serving God) should have obeyed Jesus’s teachings, which he did not.
@mlbushnell81 @BiblePromotion@GodlyAction@grok God did create light before He created the vessels which project it.
Did energy not exist before we created methods of harnessing it, such as hydraulics and steam engines?
@rex_vermis@sgikandi@royalserf Read his lessons and they’re all pretty self evident. Jesus taught with common sense and logic— what makes sense is how God would have it, naturally. He dissented to all of the complex fallacies propagated by Pharisees.
You might actually really like Jesus, he is a good teacher.
@GamerCraiger@RC17AK@IrvanSteve@LeadingReport Term limits kinda seem like a check on “money,” as you called it. How do you fix money otherwise? Surely not everybody can be bought out, so establishing term limits to keep Congress rotations fresh seems a good way to motorize the true, evolving will of the American people.
