I agree. When I was thinking about examples in which rape could possibly be shown a level of grace due to circumstances, this is one.

Institutionalize it, it becomes of the world and further from the Kingdom. Happens every time.

I s/ go back to posting here more.

After an exhaustive search on the Internet I found a CNC lathe manufactured vase produced from Densecranium which is harder than granite and considerably denser.


Analysing the scanned data with the AI code reveals.



I can now produce a table with the other scanned results.


It proves yet again if your get the metrology calculation software right, or use approved metrology software conforming to ISO 1101, ancient Egyptian vases and vases with questionable provenance are not as 'precise' as various individuals claim.

In a peer review process it's not the software being tested, all parties should use the same ISO 1101 compliant software (e.g. Polyworks, Zeiss Inspector).

How big was this supposed "aid delivery" supposed to be?

From what I'm reading:
100 kg (220 lb) of baby formula, 100 kg (220 lb) of flour, 250 kg (550 lb) of rice, diapers, and crutches.

So basically a modest sized mini-van worth of cheap supplies

The devil is an immitator. So what if we share postures with Hinduism? Should we study Hinduism to imitate more of their postures and worship of their false gods?

We are to relax and rest in the peace of Christ

It serves no purpose for a Christian to learn Hinduism in order to bring its practices to Christianity. It is a distraction and takes our eyes off of Christ our redeemer. We have so little time in the world, it makes no sense to study or imitate the worship of false gods, unless we are called to understand them and bring the love of Christ to them.
I don’t need my Christian friends teaching me about Hinduism. Your quote from John of the Cross is interesting because it reveals the danger of yoga. If we do not practice idolatry, then the devil has no power over us, but if we imitate the motions of idolatry and try to claim it is not wrong, then the devil can use the memories of our actions against us
Claiming to do yoga without idolatry is the same as claiming to watch porn without lust. It serves no godly purpose

We can study things in order to discern, distinguish and better articulate Orthodoxy from heterodoxy.

You look great. You looked great too back then. There's nothing there wrong then or now. You put in a lot of work & that's not easy.

My opinion is there is no guarantees in life. We can follow all the checkoff lists, do what the crowd is doing, seek out all the help we want, & we may still lose at what we want.

I always wanted to be married. It's been a struggle. Sometimes I hear people tell me 'you just got to accept it.' To me, that always sounded depressing. It also sounded like something someone who's ticked off at everything would say. It didn't sound 'right.' So it made me wonder what does the Bible say about when you 'lose' at something? It says God still has something for you & that's better for you. He sees things from his perspective, not the world's.

Anyways, most people do get married, someday you might, sometimes it just takes a ton of time. You seem very level-headed, you know the Bible, you like to exercise, you sound very articulate, you've come from a challenging background & know how to get thru adversity, those are all really good traits. But: it is also true those traits are valuable on their own, no woman is required for those things to be good.

Romans 9

...they are not all Israel who are descended from Israel;
7 nor are they all children because they are Abraham’s descendants, but: “through Isaac your descendants shall be named.”
8 That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as descendants.
9 For this is the word of promise: “At this time I will come, and Sarah will have a son.”
10 And not only that, but there was also Rebekah, when she had conceived twins by one man, our father Isaac;
11 for though the twins were not yet born and had not done anything good or bad, so that God’s purpose according to His choice would stand, not because of works but because of Him who calls, 12 it was said to her, “The older will serve the younger.” 13 Just as it is written: “Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.”

14 What shall we say then? There is no injustice with God, is there? Far from it!
15 For He says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whomever I have mercy, and I will show compassion to whomever I show compassion.”
16 So then, it does not depend on the person who wants it nor the one who runs, but on God who has mercy.
17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very reason I raised you up, in order to demonstrate My power in you, and that My name might be proclaimed throughout the earth.”
18 So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires.

I’m not sure if you’ re reading my post or just not understanding. God’s covenant consists of Ten Commandment. He states this verbatim Exo 34:28 Deut 4:13 thats the number God gave nothing more, nothing less. He claimed this unit as His- not Moses

Exo 34:28 So he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread nor drank water. And He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the [a]Ten Commandments.

Deut 4:13 So He declared to you His covenant which He commanded you to perform, the Ten Commandments; and He wrote them on two tablets of stone.

There is not 613 , just Ten, not nine, not 1, what I have been talking about the whole time.

The law of Moses is not God’s Ten Commandments, its all the others laws that were placed besides the ark there as a witness against as it contained all of the curses for breaking God’s covenant the Ten Commandments.

I think it’s time I move on. We have been discussing this for days now and I know I am not going to change my mind, and I think you mind is set in stone too. Meaning it’s not changing, where people get this term from God writing in stone because it’s settled. Psa 89:34 Psa 119:89 Rev 15:5 Rev 11:19

I do really wish you well.

I am reading your posts but you are missing quite a bit and your interpretation is off. The covenant consists of the Ten Commandments and the law inspired and written by Moses. The tablets of stone were stored inside of the Ark while the law of Moses was store beside it. HEB. 9:1 for example tells us that the first covenant (old covenant) had regulations for worship and the sanctuary, These were part of the 613 laws, including the 10 commandments that made up what Paul calls the law.

“Now even the first covenant had regulations for divine worship and the earthly sanctuary.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭9‬:‭1‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬


Your interpretation is off. Jesus came to fulfill the law which is the old covenant. Jesus completed (fulfilled) the terms of the old contract. He did not destroyed the contract but merely finished it. Jesus was the only one that could fulfill (complete the terms)of the old contract perfectly. No one else could. Because the old contract was finished (fulfilled) Jesus then introduced a new contract of which the terms are listed in the New Testament. Hope this helps.

2Ti 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

All authentic Christians uphold the holy scriptures as the standard of truth all other testimonies are to be judged by. The scriptures themselves claim to be "given by inspiration of God". They are therefore a standard which should not be contradicted. But to the contrary as the above God inspired scriptures state, they are -

"profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works."

All new professed revelations from God or the Holy Spirit, should then of course be compared to this standard for authenticity. If it contradicts the plain testimony of that already given by inspiration of God, the Holy Spirit, it is to be rejected.

Nothing in there says the scriptures is above the Holy Spirit in authority nor in standard nor revelation of truth according to your original question.

I never said that it might not be wrong. I said it is wrong, however grace is given in certain circumstances. Remember the stealing food example? There was still hefty consequences for stealing food, but after the debt was paid, the their still retained a level of honor due to grace and understanding.

But there are degrees of culpability. That is specifically what is meant by relative morality.

Actually, remember when King David`s son died. David said he cannot come to me but I can go to him. (2 Sam. 12: 23) This gives us the understanding that God has the unborn, the newly born and very young child when they all die in His care.
