declaring his thought to mortals (hebrew) vs declaring his Christ / anointed one to mortals (completely different)

In addition to psalm 96:5, there are other discrepancies between masoretic and Septuagint.
1. Isaiah 7:14 (virgin birth)
2. Deut 32:8 (Angel for each nation)
3. Amos 9:12 (the call to all nations)
4. Songs 1:5 (black but comely)
5. Zech 11:13 (potter vs furnace)

Psalm 96:5 Septuagint: “For all the gods of the heathen are devils: but the Lord made the heavens.”

Malachi 1:11, the nations do revere my name (hebrew) to the nations shall revere my name (greek)

this Bedouin swears “By the Rabb of the Kabah,” even though he is not a Muslim. It is not clear that he thinks this Rabb of the Kabah is himself Allah, nor is it clear that he thinks that either of these entities will preside over the day of Qiyaamah, reckoning.

“My vocabulary cannot describe the Kaaba. It was being circumambulated by thousands upon thousands of praying pilgrims, both sexes, and every size, shape, color, and race in the world.”

-Malcolm X

For example, the pre-Islamic cult of kaaba existed alongside the islamic cult of kaaba

@Grandmasta_Hash @FranseviEfendi Different people have different definitions of what a country is. So I can’t tell you how to define the word “country.”

I can tell you there was an independent patriarch of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church prior to the Ottoman conquest. This suggests some sense of a country.

@nguyenhdi Completely disagree. I read Chaucer, thought it was OK, and then was completely blown away by Italy’s Decameron.

Same with Shakespeare, he’s just OK.

@SaraNatoB @omar_dddg @Dani_Blek Lebanon sucks, but it isn’t
totalitarian. The government can barely control its own territory.

@witagon This is the source for what he’s saying—they didn’t think they were rats, but they did think mammoths were underground animals. That is not the contemporary position of course, but I never laugh at an indigenous person’s view of such things— one routinely finds they are correct.

@sevensixfive Well it sounds like you understand. A simple example is courthouses. Many courthouses look something like the first photo.

Whereas “modernism,” might be represented by the attractive second photo.

There is very little point feigning confusion here.

[Snake with Feet @Snake_With_Feet]

@sevensixfive @Rightofred @altntrance @mspringut But what’s modernism? For example look at the two houses below. Both might be called “modernism,” but in entirely different ways.

Of course if it is just houses, it is up to the personal taste of whoever built them.

@Sagnamadr @AnInnes3 If such a “stamping” did occur, it is curious that Augustine complains of a temple dedicated to the “tutelary genius of Carthage,” centuries later.

@Sagnamadr @AnInnes3 of course the lefty pastor could not admit this without throwing out his argument

[Snake with Feet @Snake_With_Feet]

@Sagnamadr @AnInnes3 The Roman objection wasn’t to Baal but to the manner he was worshipped; they supposed the Carthaginian sacrifices were to Jupiter and Saturn.

If Abraham thought human sacrifice wrong, he’d expect punishment for sacrificing Isaac. Scripture says Abraham imagined his act was permitted—Hebrews 11:19, “Abraham reasoned that God could even raise the dead, and so in a manner of speaking he did receive Isaac back from death.”

@volmeto They mixed.

@KaviPishva Yes herodotus talks about how the asian nations mocked the greeks for sending 1000 ships for a single woman; being anxious to avenge the capture of a woman who had probably departed voluntarily struck them as absurd.

@miltonappl3 Christ himself is a military commander, with legions of angels, a heavenly kingdom, and a royal bloodline. In this respect, Nietzche endorses Christ.

As for ordinary soldiers, we see Jesus marvel at the centurion in Matthew 8.

That being said, although the Old Republic is called a more civilized age, it is not entirely clear it is a *better* age. The Republic may have been as wicked as the Empire, for all we know, or even worse—so that a crusade in support of the Republic is both idealistic and wrong.

[Snake with Feet @Snake_With_Feet]

The original movies do say that Luke’s father followed Obi Wan on an “idealistic crusade.” That the Sith were merely a school within the Jedi religion, potentially cooperating with Jedi, seems implied by the statement “You, my friend, are all that's left of their religion.”

There should NOT be a Star Wars movie about how a good man becomes Darth Vader, a vicious, scheming servant of evil.

You don't make blockbuster movies centered around the corruption of good!

Leave that for serious novels like "Crime & Punishment".

The mistake was making a set of films about Young Darth Vader.
