@RadicalLib We've been reading Daniel for the last 6 weeks in our Sunday morning bible study at my church and I just read Isaiah's prophecy of Cyrus this morning. I spoke about Josephus' (and Xenophon's) identification of Darius, but I didn't remember about Cyrus reading Isaiah, very cool!
@CatholicismF@iam_shwa "Depart from me, you workers of lawlessness!"
Yes, there's likely no 'literal' trial. Scripture is teaching us through the symbol of a trial that if we were judged by our works we would all fall short, so we must hold fast to faith, trusting in the righteousness of Christ alone.
@CatholicismF@iam_shwa Not to mention Matthew 7:22-23 which very literally depicts many men at the end of days attempting to justify themselves in heaven by their good works on earth (prophesying, casting out demons, etc.)
@CatholicismF@iam_shwa Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven,
and he who testifies for me is on high.
My friends scorn me;
my eye pours out tears to God,
that he would argue the case of a man with God,
as a son of man does with his neighbor.
(Job 16:19-21)
Also 1 John 2, Daniel 7, etc.
@jason_howerton Training is very expensive, but if AI progress ever hits a wall or is simply "good enough" for all their customers, training expenses will disappear. Inference on pre-trained models by comparison is very cheap.
@thomaesplendor In Snake, the snake can only make 90 degree turns.
But I, as the programmer, can make it turn 45 degrees because I am not bound by the rules that I invented for my creation. Con God create a contradiction? Sure, by changing the rules of logic.
@sola_chad God did not kill Nadab and Abihu for offering the wrong type of incense. They made an unauthorized offering and then died because they entered through the veil unprotected and encountered the all-consuming fire of God's glory above the ark.
@SplashPlateVGC Ok, but imagine Magic Room Araquanid into scarf Garchomp to swords dance up, OHKO through focus sash, and then give an unexpected +1 speed when Magic Room runs out.
@41KOOR "They cried out with a loud voice, “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” (Revelation 6:10)
@AllbonesJones There is a fixed spawn base just east of Blazamut on the west side of Mount Obsidian. As soon as you open the door, one of the Eternal Pyre pal tamers will throw out a Jormuntide Ignis you can catch that's about level 40
@akirathedon "We can't just dump the files on the internet, people will riot! We need to follow the aliens' genius disclosure plan!"
So what's the plan?
"To dump it on cable news without any explanation."
@uMarhobane Hoarding money doesn't even have a negative effect. Taking money out of circulation is deflationary. If some trillionaire sold all his assets and buried the cash in the desert real wages and purchasing power would increase in direct proportion.
@Howlingmutant0@annamlulis The test is about 99% accurate
Down syndrome is 1/775
So on average for every 775 tested babies, 1 actually has down syndrome and 7 or 8 come up as false positives
It makes no sense if they think abortion is health care.
It makes perfect sense if they know it's child sacrifice. A proper sacrifice must be unblemished
I’m pro-abortion as they come, except when a child will have to live with a congenital disability and you have to raise it. (No, I won’t be raising it, this is purely theoretical for me)
