@JackHammerLane Hello, I hope I don't come off as rude, I ask with genuine curiosity, what do you make of Hebrews 10:24-5,Colossians 3:16, I took them to mean as a call to going to Church.
As well as that, I always try to keep Luke 18:9-14 in mind, but I might be scrupulous.

@m3garachne @GamerFunni In addition to this, even though high time preference is normally seen as bad (cannot delay gratification) our external conditions influence our time preference, so in an emergency like a tsunami, a few cans of food now are worth more than many once the crisis is over.

@ThespianCards Personally I am interested in hearing what you think are undeniable truths. I mean this genuinely, even if the other person was trying to insinuate that you didn't.

@WhtGoat @ReviewsPossum You'll get ultra punished under UK law. UK law for self defence has the person attacked needing to prove that they have a valid reason to have on hand a tool they use for self defence. If you have home-made spray, that's premeditated, so you'll get a heavier sentence.

@GarrettPetersen The purpose of a system is what it does.

@writriverdale He's seen as one of the greatest because despite his many flaws, he stood against attack after attack, defending "The Western Canon", and he was one of the largest figures at the time defending it.
I also enjoyed his analysis of Taming of the Shrew, for what it's worth!

@novusolus It's incredible the depth that one can find in the Gospels. Girard showing the mimesis rejection really helped me see more clearly that "Get behind me, Satan" line, which used to trouble me greatly, it seemed so harsh of Christ to say that to Peter.
Girard helped me understand.

@Aserbtt @ChudThomist For the Cleansing of sin after death,
I Corinthians 3:11-15.
After death, our work will be revealed with fire. (Fire being used in the NT as a purifier and a consumer). Catholic teaching is Purgatory is where imperfections are purged.

@cneqvrc Well, "nowhere in the old and new testaments" isn't accurate. 2 Kings 13:21, a dead body comes into contact with Elisha's bones and revives.
Acts 19:11-12, handkerchiefs and aprons touched by Saint Paul drive out demons and cure sickness.
So there is a precedent!

1 Kings 10:14- The weight of the gold that Solomon received yearly was 666 talents.

Revelation 13:18 - This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.

Where to from this?

@sympractical 1 Kings 10:14 - The weight of the gold that Solomon received yearly was 666 talents.

Revelation 13:18 - This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.

The conclusion isn't great though!

@Ioniancel Alexander is more Dionysus than Apollo, no?

@lamberthinden I feel that Naoki Urasawa just can't nail the endings to his works, even though he can give characters beautiful arcs, and completely hook me with a plot, it's hard for me to say "masterpiece" when the ending seems like a miss. Maybe I missed something in it though!

@writriverdale To truly take up his mantle you must eat and drink yourself into a fourt month coma! Only then can you be larger than life, like he was!

[Rckons @Rckons]

@writriverdale I'm reading Manalive right now, it's my fourth Chesterton book (Thursday, Napoleon, and some of the Father Brown are what I've read). It's a blessing to have some people near you who have read the same things, but it's almost never happend since hardly anyone reads anymore. Sad!

@miltonappl3 But I also found estimates for the original Folio length to be 836,000 words. If you count his complete works (like the Rape of Lucrece and Venus and Adonis) that brings Shakespeare to 884,000–885,000.

If I could sanctify these numbers, I suppose I would be a prophet indeed!

[Rckons @Rckons]

@miltonappl3 Okay, from looking into it, when the KJV was completed in 1611, it was the 80 book version, with 935,000–952,000 words.
However, if you take the Catholic Deuterocanonical amount, of 73, since Shakespeare's mother was Catholic, that's 860,000–880,000 words.

[Rckons @Rckons]

@miltonappl3 Additionally, is that 783k word count including the apocrypha that the KJV included when it was first printed, which brought the total books to 80? Or is that count just the total number of words in a 66 book KJV.

[Rckons @Rckons]

@miltonappl3 There's a missing play, The History of Cardenio, which he wrote about the character in Don Quixote. It was performed on several occasions, if I remember correctly.
