That picture of North West going around of her saying how much she loves Jesus while dressed like a demon is the perfect representation of most christians today.

They do not live a rigtheous life and it's this OSAS and Faith Alone nonsense that christians are going around preaching.

Paul said you're saved by grace through faith but he then said:
>For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works; which God has ordained, so that we would walk in them.

So good works are till necessary, everyone is obligated to do good works, you just have to do them with the humility of knowing that it's not the works that are saving you. If God didn't give you grace you could do a million good deeds and he still wouldn't owe you salvation. Salvation is beyond our reach and is given as a gift, but you still have to do good.

Faith alone is about not boasting in your works, not not doing them. Being good and behaving righteously and treating everyone fairly is the obligation of every believer who serves God.

There it is. You're so fucked. :)

There it is, the unregenerate spiteful heretic is at it again.
They're probably just pretending.

You can tell he's offended at the idea that Jesus literally expects him to be more righteous than a Pharisee, and if he is not he will never inherit the kingdom of heaven, these who notably he condemned for not practicing what they preached. That's called being a hypocrite.
That's because he doesn't actually know Christ, or actually understand even the first thing about Jesus' own exegesis of the Lord's Prayer. Because Jesus himself says that if you forgive you will be forgiven, and if you do not forgive you will likewise not be forgiven.

Yes, OSAS is a clear heresy that directly contradicts scripture at multiple points.
As Paul wrote, if God did not spare the natural branches take care lest he cut you off too.

But heretic-kun isn't actually here to talk about the bible and what it really says about the Christian life, because they're secretly just a shill or maybe even several dedicated to lowering the quality of discussion board wide.

Probably the same ones posting shallow gotchas you've seen over a hundred times, coupled with godjaks.

because its a christian manuscript made by the anglo saxons, who probably had a different version of their Woden to the norse Odin. we know the anglo saxons had myths that are missing or absent from the norse mythos, like the 9 herbs myth, so its not that out of question that their version of odin wasnt missing an eye either. or even more likely, that the christians who made the drawing didnt entirely understand it

Depends on the size of the attacking army, the size of the garrisoned force, what the attacking armies has in terms of siege enginges and how exactly the fortress is laid out as there were no standardized designs. The biggest issue for the defenders would be that their ramparts were generally lower and thus could more easily be scaled.
>more specifically sieges where 20-30 people had been able to withstand against hundreds and low thousands of besiegers
Do you have any examples of this? The best I could find would be the Siege of Szigetvár in 1566 where 2.000 to 3.000 croats and hungarians held out for one month against an attacking ottoman force of 50.000 to 100.000 (nice margin).

>no general would do this
Depends on several factors. A long term siege was always a heavy investment of many ressources (manpower, material and most importantly time) and not always desireable. If you had the option to take a place quickly you generally tried it.
>>18628824
Again that depends on the actual construction of the forts. Casemates for example were heavily dug in vaults that could withstand direct fire from cannons and siege mortars.

>20-30 people had been able to withstand against hundreds and low thousands of besiegers
The fort you posted would need 10 cannons on the reflex angles of the outer wall to enfilade the wall, 6 at points to cover blind spots and maybe 2 cannons at the entrance of the central tower. A single well trained person can reload, move and fire a cannon, but prohibitively slowly. If there are 24 defenders, they could work in 16 hour shifts allowing the other 8 to sleep, they may also have a system where a single scout on the high tower watches for enemy and helps direct the few defenders to where they are needed. So this is about the absolute bare minimum needed to turn the fort into a problem.

If the medieval general doesn't understand what cannons are they will probably probe the wall at different points at the same time in dense formations with disastrous consequences, perhaps enough to convince them to cancel the assault allowing them time to reload.

If the general does understand they will attack one section at night, first baiting the cannons with a "forlorn hope". The defenders will sabotage the outer cannons then retreat to the central tower.

The enemy then has to progress through various booby traps and mines, then scale the tower walls and assault the entrance at the same time. The enemy will probably use fire to reduce the barricades at the entrance and also generate smoke to cover them and irritate the defenders. The remaining dozen or so defenders at the tower walls will have to scurry around like a hamster on a table looking for anyone trying to scale it. Enemy archers will be helped by the inner walls, though of course the musketeers could shoot the archers.

Morale is an issue, the defenders will need to be convinced the enemy will give no quarter and their best bet is to kill so many they give up the attack, or some religious fanaticism.

>>18628690
Well so we're assuming that they'll use siege engines and mines instead.

A lot of the earthworks built around star forts would hinter them, plus if it's meant to stop a cannonball it'll stop a rock launched from a trebuchet.
The biggest difficulty is that the walls are smaller so theoretically going full ancient warfare and just building a ramp is easier than with medieval castles proper. This is why having artillery in these fortresses was so important as constructing field works to protect the construction of such ramp would be easy.

depends, on g25 slavs could increase the distance even further and maybe make some iberians and northern italians closer to syrians than to say russians, but using any other NW europeans would make some central-south italian and greek closer to them than to moroccans because swedes are the most northern-shifted NW europeans

>The 2002 version still identifies them with Zoroastrians
And what specifically does it use to argue that these men believed in Zoroastrianism?

>confusing them for the sorcery Zoroastrians themselves despised
No they didn't. Like basically all ancient polytheists, they had plenty of what we today would label magical practices. Primary sources state this explicitly, Herodotus for example records them trying to control the weather in https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Herodotus/7d%2A.html:

"For the storm lasted for three days; and at last the Magians, by using victims and wizards' spells on the wind, and by sacrificing also to Thetis and the Nereids, did make it to cease on the fourth day, or mayhap it was not of their doing"

According to https://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/magic/magic-i-magical-elements-in-the-avesta-and-nerang-literature/ they were into magical protective amulets: "In Yt. 14.35, Ahura Mazdā explains how the possession of the feather of a falcon...allows the pious Mazdean to counter-curse his opponents, while according to Yt. 14.36, whoever carries a bone or a feather of this bird cannot be harmed or driven away...Such a feather in fact brings him respect and strength, and can be considered a sort of amulet."

Tons more examples. They believed in magic anon.

Your quotes aren't relevant, they simply thought their sorcery was good and witches' sorcery was bad.

Who's "we"? You? I see no difference between that and Christians using magical dead saint foot water or the protective cross amulets they wear around their necks. The same encyclopedia states
>The Magi and Zoroastrianism. That the Magi were specialists in magic and astrology, according to the Greeks, is hardly characteristic of Zoroastrianism. The relationship between the Magi and the reform which found expression in ZOROASTER’s Ga¯tha¯s is problematic. Probably by the time of Artaxerxes I (465–425 B.C.), but certainly under Seleucus I (306–280 B.C.), the fusion was complete between the religion of the Achaemenids and that of Zoroaster. The Magi, as they enjoyed a religious monopoly, called themselves the disciples of Zoroaster. Thus, many Greek sources call Zoroaster a Magus, as did Xanthus (5th century B.C.) and Dinon (4th century B.C.) who were cited by Hermippus (3rd–2nd centuries B.C.). The Magusaioi. The word is a Semitic and Greek adaptation of the Iranian term magus, and it designates the ‘‘Hellenized Magi’’ to whom a vast lore of pseudoscience, written in Greek, was attributed. In the dialogue Alcibiades, ascribed to Plato, two kinds of magic are distinguished: popular magic, which was tantamount to sorcery, and the authentic, or Persian magic, which was a form of religion. Although the philosophers maintained the distinction, it was lost to the general public, and the Magi in Hellenistic and Roman times were commonly considered as astrologers and sorcerers.

>>18628345
>this association was in turn the product of the Hellenistic fascination for Pseudo-Zoroaster, who was perceived by the Greeks to be the Chaldean founder of the Magi and inventor of both astrology and magic, a meaning that still survives in the modern-day words "magic" and "magician"
>As early as the 5th century BC, Greek magos had spawned mageia and magike to describe the activity of a magus, that is, it was his or her art and practice.[14] But almost from the outset the noun for the action and the noun for the actor parted company. Thereafter, mageia was used not for what actual magi did, but for something related to the word 'magic' in the modern sense, i.e. using supernatural means to achieve an effect in the natural world, or the appearance of achieving these effects through trickery or sleight of hand.[14] The early Greek texts typically have the pejorative meaning, which in turn influenced the meaning of magos to denote a conjurer and a charlatan.[15] Already in the mid-5th century BC, Herodotus identifies the magi as interpreters of omens and dreams (Histories 7.19, 7.37, 1.107, 1.108, 1.120, 1.128[16]).[17]
>Once the magi had been associated with "magic" – Greek magikos – it was but a natural progression that the Greeks' image of Zoroaster would metamorphose into a magician too.[20] The first century Pliny the Elder names "Zoroaster" as the inventor of magic (Natural History xxx.2.3), but a "principle of the division of labor appears to have spared Zoroaster most of the responsibility for introducing the dark arts to the Greek and Roman worlds.
>For Pliny, this magic was a "monstrous craft" that gave the Greeks not only a "lust" (aviditatem) for magic, but a downright "madness" (rabiem) for it, and Pliny supposed that Greek philosophers – among them Pythagoras, Empedocles, Democritus, and Plato – traveled abroad to study it, and then returned to teach it (xxx.2.8–10).
