Good news brotha- they’re backkkk 🎉

Seeing them after they’ve come back brings me peace 😤

I like the series but I think they should have a Catholic guest they have a lot of questions about the church

In my head I was screaming this 😂. Them missing that pun was a huge L

Now Hubbigoon

“Hewed” is just one of those words that perfectly seasons a sentence

Very interesting!

This drove me crazy reading the Decline and Fall, since it was written before widespread consumption of maize, and talked about "corn" in the context of ancient Rome quite a bit. Where did you source the explanation? I never could find a good text on how the meaning changed.

@blurqeqoherds I think I specifically found the explanation in something that was talking about Lembas from Tolkien. I don't recall the exact place because that discovery would have happened circa 2004.

A general study of middle and early modern English will reveal that corn used to simply be a general term for grain. The use of the word shifting to primarily refer to Maize is also interestingly a primarily English phenomenon and doesn't occur in other European languages. That probably implies that the cause is the prominence of maize(corn) in north America agriculture

You have no idea of how much God truly loves you, friend.

Amen brother let him know ​@@disco8301

Having someone summarize the Good Book in a modern language helps so much. The Good Book really is a schematic on human nature, if you wanted to be pragmatic.

Hope you're doing better nowadays man :]

She has me blocked on Twitter and I have never once interacted with her but I would not be shocked if she’s into Isaiah

@@TheWeirdBible is anyone surprised?

Wait has she said she likes wendigoon?

@@TheWeirdBible not surprised the atheist feels the need to block anything remotely theistic

I’m pretty sure shoe is married, at least at the time of this post. Even if she did have the hots for goon, he is engaged. Case closed.

I don't believe God's omniscience would require predestination. You can say God knows everything that will happen without saying he planned it from the beginning. That's my take on it anyway.

You don't mean Ephraim?

@@drworm5007 no, it's Benjamin. Context goes from the story in Judges 19, and runs to the end of the book in chapter 21

I've heard it referred to as "baggage", is military baggage what they meant?

​@@strawbbtarteI've also seen it translated as equipment so it makes sense that it could be military stuff. Although I havent read the whole thing for context

Huh interesting thought 🤔🤔

as the podcast said- God set him up as king and saw the possibilities of him for success and even told Saul to do things that would lead to him being a successful king but Saul just did not.

God didn’t exactly set him up to fail, Saul just had all the things that Gods people wanted in a King. I think it’s more accurate to say that absolute power corrupts absolutely. Any man, even a man chosen by God, is still just a man.

Let us not judge a tradesman by his choice of brand alone. Still, I pity the gourd.

(I literally got into Skillet because they are christian. christopunk aidan mattis) "worthy" vs "merit" is what gets me. You may never merit it, you may never earn it, but you are still worthy of God. Tax collectors are hated because they were jewish people enforcing roman imperialism on other jews, or so I've been told. That & I've also been told that they were skimming for their own pockets. OK BUT CONFESSION IS ACTUALLY HONESTLY HEALTHY FOR YOU it was like counselling before therapy was a thing. Instead of talking it out with a psychologist, you would talk things out with a priest. I've spoken to a roman catholic priest & he said he was OK with people going to confession less because they had therapy instead. (I keep editing my comment now but I should just LISTEN like I was doing in the first half) Many churches do not accept you or I, but studying at home is a closer & more intimate way than churches that have pageantry (which I love but yk) & structure & resentment. As a queer & FNMI catholic, the church & I have beef, but you just need to find the meaning that sounds truest to you. I started attending a church of the first peoples, populated mostly by FNMI people, & as a Métis folk catholic, it is the most welcome I've felt in a long time. The last time I went to any other church I got called a name & almost got kicked out if I hadn't already been leaving. Honestly, questioning things & losing my faith helped me to learn more & get a deeper connection. It is healthy to question things. Don't be christian because you were told to, be christian as a verb. BE christian. Choose to be christian.

Are you implying that the irs isn’t just as corrupt and underhanded? The threat of force and direct thievery is exactly the same today

Is this blasphemy? 😂

I think it's on Spotify EDIT: It is not on Spotify :(

I listen to it at work just off of youtube

@@matthewhawthorne8411 I listen to a ton of podcasts while at work. I also download them ahead of time because the internet is spotty where I work. It would be inconvenient for me to switch to RU-vid just to listen to one show.

I think they moved it to this channel. It used to be on the Lore Lodge channel as a separate playlist and is now on the new Weird Bible channel.

Even then. To the Romans this kind of issue was more of "petty tribal squabbling" that they would rather brush over.

@@redline841 that too really. While the Romans were very religious and used what they perceived as their gods to help strengthen them in battle, battles themselves weren't fought over religion in that era. That came with the HRE. At the time Rome was just bidding to keep their territories (such as Judea) subservient when it came to religious conflict

Can't believe people are really so hateful to go out of their way to comment such things on videos they clearly have no interest in learning from.

@@Song-dn1xb I'm not hating it just boggles my mind that we're in 2023 and people believe caveman stuff
