>>18412814Israel already had a system for this. Prophets were verified through fulfilled prophecy and continuity with prior revelation, and Elisha wasn't some random guy, he was the publicly recognized successor of Elijah. These kids were from Bethel, the main idolatry center of the northern kingdom. They knew who he was and weren't confused at all. Also we already established this isn't meant to be read as a literal instruction manual. The whole point of the passage is typological, not "here's how to identify prophets, step 1: wait for bears."

Americans and Russians hold a true friendship which other nations can never understand.America has been at war with England, Germany, Italy, China, and Japan but never with our Russian brothers. We will always be one another's greatest ally in fighting against the evils of fascism
>>18404612According to that definition, France is an even better friend
>>18412109And furthermore by the same logic, Morocco is America's greatest ally since it was its first ally technically speaking
>>18412109>>18412115France and Morocco aren’t the same entities they were in 1700s - neoliberal France is polar opposite of Robespierrean terror regime that pledged devotion to USA whereas the current Putin admin of Russia is essentially a continuation of the Tsarist regime we sent troops to defend in Archangel in 1917. You know I am right. Russia is oldest nation that is actually sort of continuous to its old admin we tried being ally to.
>>18412125By the same logic, Morocco is still older as it's been ruled by the same dynasty since the 1600s

>>18412239If masturbation was really a big deal, then God definitely would have mentioned something about it. The Bible doesn't say pleasure is a sin, but loving pleasure more than God is sin. If you feel strongly convicted that you don't want to masturbate, then don't. But forcing someone who has bigger sexual desires to do the same thing as you and telling them they are doing a great sin against God by relieving themselves to preserve their physical and mental health is not ideal. Not everyone has the same exact hormone/body functions as you. Just because you want to ejaculate in your bed-sheets and someone else doesn't, doesn't mean the other person is wrong, either way you are both ejaculating semen and in the end the result is the same.
>>18411341That’s why he introduced circumscion
>>18412252Ok, but the thread was about how God feels about it...>Preserve your mental and physical healthOnly in facilitating a relationship with God, focusing on yourself too much can lead to narcissism which brings you further from God, or even self reliance.If you want to know how I feel about it...I'm a gay atheist, beat your dick 16hrs a day for all I gaf.
>>18412419>focusing on yourself too much can lead to narcissism which brings you further from God, or even self reliance.You're right, but that doesn't automatically make everything that feels nice a sin. If you eat too much youre sinning, if you focus on your pleasure too much you're sinning. The Bible doesn't say that pleasure is a sin. There are pleasures that are sin, but masturbation is not listed as something sinful in the Bible. The most that the Bible says about masturbation is in Leviticus, that you should wash yourself after you release seed.
I define subhumanity by aggression, hatred, bigotry, lack of positive emotions, lack of empathy, selfishness, reactionarism and general antisocial behavior, something that the overwhelmingly majority of hetero males areHetmoids top any hatred chart no matter what ethnic, sexual or gender minority is targeted, an example is this graphic regarding views of trans people, but you can switch trans to anyone who isn't a white judeochristian hetmoid and hetmoids globally would top the hatred chart.Hetero males also represent over 90% of assaulters, aggressors, thieves, drug dealers, gang members, murderers, rapists, child abusers and any antisocial scum you can imagine despite being roughly 40% of the global population, in comparison queer men and women in general are almost non-existent in such charts Hetmoids are also incapable of having any positive interactions with each other, their family and even their own partners for them a woman is nothing but a cum dumpster and a free slave, their idea of friendship is insulting and belitting each other, they can't hug their own friends and male relatives because it's """gay""" (and apparently the gay brand in hetmoid culture is worse than being called a baby fucker, such particular hatred these vermin have towards queer men is most likely due to mysoginy and a sense of betrayal of what they perceive as manhood)What is the explanation? Because even at childhood hetmoid children are far more violent hateful little roaches than queer and female kids, for me the only sane explanation is a lean towards a more reptile rather than mammal brain in hetero males as well as a lack of development of pre-frontal cortex compared to women and gay men

>>18411434>>18411437I would say that Geneva was the first example of a totalitarian State. Their was no distinct civil society. As all civil institutions and private associations were under the direct control of the State. There was mass censorship and control of media (banning and punishments for possessing any unauthorized religious material). Extensive surveillance etc... Kuyper wasn't an establishmentarian nor was he in favor of any type of curtailment of religious liberty. Doug Wilson on the other hand wants Credal requirements (believing in the Nicene creed) for holding political office. And banning certain public displays of religion if they don't follow these Credal requirements. Which is a Different position from Calvin or Kuyper or even og Theonomists like Rushdoony.
>>18411460You would be dead wrong. This is textbook anachronism, for instance the charge of “mass censorship and control of media” would require said media to actually exist, which it did not at this time. A totalitarian state was both culturally and technologically impossible.
>>18411463Kuyper was the founder of the same political party that did nothing other than flood the Netherlands with faggots in the 21st century
>>18411463They actually did have the infrastructure for Mass media. Geneva was one of the first few places to adopt the printing press and had a thriving media culture.
>>18411486What did he do?
>>18412491>Where exactly did that change my statement in question?For the Greeks, Europe was simply their known world (oikoumene), which began in Greece and had its western border marked by the Pillars of Hercules (another Phoenician motif) on the Iberian Peninsula, and to the north border the land of the Hyperboreans, who were... Romanians. Basically the Mediterranean with some lands in the Balkans and the Western Europe. Since half of what they considered to be half of the heart of Hellas, Asia Minor/Turkey, was not located in Europe.>The Greeks thought that Boreas, the god of the North Wind (one of the Anemoi, or "Winds") lived in Thrace, and therefore Hyperborea indicates that it is a region beyond ThraceEuropeans call themselves that because of the Greeks, not the other way around. I won't even go into the fact that Greek geography was idiosyncratic, not scientific. That the Earth is not flat, we are not surrounded by Oceanus, there is no island larger than Libya and Asia beyond the Pillars of Hercules, the border between Libya and Asia is not on the Nile River, the Levant and India are not located in Ethiopia, etc... >these samples show a cluster within southern EuropeA cluster that is closer to the Cypriots, Jews, and other Outlines of the Caucasus/Levant than Northern Europe.>etymology of Europe The Problem of Universals doesn't change what the words refer were, you retarded nominalist. Europa was Phoenician princess, not European. Deal with that.
BTW Pythagoras was the son of a Phoenician man, Mnesarchus, and a Greek woman, Pythais. "Let no one ignorant of geometry enter here" ("Ageometretos medeis eisito") was written in the Academy of Athens founded by Plato, whose last teachers were Syrians who saved Ancient Greek knowledge by fleeing to Persia in the same way that the Byzantines did in Italy with the Turks during the Renaissance.>The last Greek philosophers of the revived Academy in the 6th century were drawn from various parts of the Hellenistic cultural world and suggest the broad syncretism of the common culture (see koine): Five of the seven Academy philosophers mentioned by Agathias were Syriac in their cultural origin: Hermias and Diogenes (both from Phoenicia), Isidorus of Gaza, Damascius of Syria, Iamblichus of Coele-Syria and perhaps even Simplicius of Cilicia. The emperor Justinian closed the school in 529 A.D.. The last Scholarch of the Academy was Damascius (d. 540). According to the sole witness, the historian Agathias, its remaining members looked for protection under the rule of Sassanid king Khosrau I in his capital at Ctesiphon, carrying with them precious scrolls of literature and philosophy, and to a lesser degree of science. After a peace treaty between the Persian and the Byzantine empire in 532, their personal security (an early document in the history of freedom of religion) was guaranteed>It has been speculated that the Academy did not altogether disappear. After his exile, Simplicius (and perhaps some others), may have travelled to Harran, near Edessa. From there, the students of an Academy-in-exile could have survived into the 9th century, long enough to facilitate the Arabic revival of the Neoplatonist commentary tradition in Baghdad>One of the earliest academies established in the east was the 7th century Academy of Gundishapur in Sassanid Persia
>inb4 Murray mapThe region with the highest percentage of notable people per population is the Netherlands, which he attributes to the Jews who caused a brain drain from Spain, lol.https://www.commentary.org/articles/charles-murray/jewish-genius/>After being expelled from Spain at the end of the 15th century, Sephardi Jews rose to distinction in many of the countries where they settled. Some economic historians have traced the decline of Spain after 1500, and the subsequent rise of the Netherlands, in part to the Sephardi commercial talent that was transferred from the one to the other. Centuries later, in England, one could point to such Sephardi eminences as Benjamin Disraeli and the economist David Ricardo>Samuel Pallache (Arabic: صامويل آل بالاتش, Samuil al-Baylash, Hebrew: שמואל פלאצ'ה, Shmuel Palache, c. 1550 – 4 February 1616) was a Jewish Moroccan merchant, diplomat, and pirate of the Pallache family, who, as envoy, concluded a treaty with the Dutch Republic in 1608. His antecedents fled to Morocco during the Reconquista. Appointed as an agent under the Saadi Sultan Zidan Abu Maali, Pallache traveled to the newly-independent Dutch Republic to discuss diplomatic terms with the Dutch against their mutual enemy, the Spanish. He died in the Netherlands, brought there due to the intervention of his ally, Maurice of Nassau, son of William the Silent, the father of Dutch Fatherland, who helped him when he was arrested by the Spanish
>>18412672I forgot to mention this guy:>Joseph Nasi (1524 – 1579), known in Portuguese as João Miques, was a Portuguese Sephardi diplomat and administrator, member of the House of Mendes and House of Benveniste, nephew of Doña Gracia Mendes Nasi, and an influential figure in the Ottoman Empire during the rules of both Sultan Suleiman I and his son Selim II. He was a great benefactor of the Jewish people>A court Jew, he was appointed lord of Tiberias, with the expressed aim of resettling Jews in Palestine (then Ottoman Syria) and encouraging industry there; the attempt failed, and, later, he was appointed Duke of Naxos. Nasi also supported a war with the Republic of Venice, at the end of which Venice lost the island of Cyprus to the Ottomans. After the death of Selim, he lost influence in the Ottoman Court, but was allowed to keep his titles and pension for the remainder of his life>Maintaining contacts with William the Silent, Nasi encouraged the Netherlands to revolt against Spain, a major adversary of the Ottoman Empire (the rebellion was ultimately carried out by the Union of Utrecht, as the start of the Eighty Years' War). For this and other achievements, he was appointed by Selim to become the Duke of Naxos. Represented locally by one Francesco Coronello, Nasi mainly ruled the Duchy from his palace of Belvedere near Constantinople, where he also maintained his own Hebrew printing press, founded by his aunt, Gracia Mendes Nasi, which was kept by his wife, Doña Reyna, after Joseph's death
>>18412672>>18412681He is wrong. As much as the Jews helped in the Dutch Revolt, the driving force behind the Dutch Golden Age was the Belgians of Flanders after the Fall of Antwerp.>The Golden Age of Flanders, or Flemish Golden Age, is a term that has been used to describe the flourishing of cultural and economic activities of the Low Countries around the 16th century. The term Flanders in the 16th century referred to the entire Habsburg Netherlands within the Burgundian Circle of the Holy Roman Empire. It was inclusive of modern-day Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. Its political capital was Brussels, while the financial-economic centre was Antwerp. Other major artistic and cultural centres of the period included Bruges, Ghent, Mechelen and Leuven. It is also grouped with the Dutch Golden Age, a more common term used primarily in reference to the Dutch Republic, and typically dated from 1588 to 1672, within a "Flemish and Dutch golden age" covering the period from the late 15th to the 17th century>Flanders and Belgium were part of the Spanish Netherlands from 1556, and entered a period of decline in favor of the Dutch Republic which was soon to break off from the Spanish Empire. Symbolic of this is the Sack of Antwerp by Spanish forces in 1576, which forced many merchants to flee to Amsterdam and Holland. The Dutch Golden Age lasted for most of the 17th century>Protestants were especially well-represented among the skilled craftsmen and rich merchants of the port cities of Bruges, Ghent, and Antwerp. Under the terms of the surrender of Antwerp in 1585, the Protestant population (if unwilling to reconvert) were given four years to settle their affairs before leaving the city and Habsburg territory. Similar arrangements were made in other places>Many of those moving north settled in Amsterdam, transforming what was a small harbor into one of the most important ports and commercial centres in the world by 1630
If we had two people one named Andrew and the other named James and we had two universes and in universe #1 we had Andrew be born and raised in Britain and became a software engineer and James be born and raised in America and become a security guard and then in universe #2 we switched these people's bodies so that a person with the body and genes of universe #1 Andrew was born in America and became a security guard and also be named James instead of Andrew and in this universe #2 the same happened with James from universe #1 being born and raised in Britain and becomes a software engineer and also be named Andrew instead of James when we compare these two universes it's more intuitive to say that the person named Andrew in universe #1 is the same person as the person named James in universe #2 since they both share the same body and genes and the same vice versa. It doesn't matter nearly as much that they have different names, are from different countries and have chose different jobs, what matters the most is that Andrew from universe #1 and James from universe #2 have the same body. Seeing as their differences in name, country of origin and job choice are minuscule in comparison to the deep similarity they share in their genetic makeup so much so that they would be considered essentially biological clones of each other. Therefore genes are the most important factor that determines a person's identity.
>>18410648Counterargument:If Andrew and James were identical twins, would that make them both the same person?
>>18410653Not ever the same person. But closer to one another as any other example that can be proposed by OP's case.I agree there is a genetic component to forming someone's identity that I cannot put my finger on it. I suppose if there really is a matrix, memories stored in genes can be tapped into regardless of where you are.Something like that who knows. Im terrible at delving into topics.
Fat kids, you need to read all the way down to the bottom of the wikipedia pages, or else you sound like a fucking idiot pseud blowhard to everyone who does, okay?Nothing you have said here have anything to do with identity. A hypothetical word salad about two different cars that were built in different places, except one is a "corolla" and the other is a "fiesta" would support the same tautology.Or you could make up a gibberish word, slide it into this diabetes-stankin' spume in place of "identity" and it would make exactly as much sense as it does now.F+ for effort, captain special ed
>>18410648>Therefore genes are the most important factor that determines a person's identity.No, also there are only four periods and three commas in your entire post. Use more next time.Identity is predominately influenced by environment, including social environment. If I was born as a hunter gatherer I would be a vastly different person. If I was born into a hyper religious modern family I would be a vastly different person. Genetics determine a lot but are not the most important factor in identity and personality.
