Is it something you are interested in as an agnostic, a theist or an atheist?who are the best biblical scholars?, what are the most interesting and revelant topics of research within the field?I dont know how to navigate biblical scholarship on youtube, should i push through a set of fixed contents say the synoptic gospels, the hebrew bible, the historical jesus and the transition from the yahwist religion to judaism and eventually rabinnic judaism and later unsubscribe from biblical scholarship channels?I couldnt find a good video about the history of judaism, and i dont know if i should even dive deep into this subject, because its not my intention to try to gather information to deconvert people, myself being an agnostic, im really tolerant of believers and think some of them are really smart.Other social sciences are less polemical. You can discuss history with everyone or almost everyone, the same is not true for biblical scholarship. Though i find many aspects of biblical scholarship- source criticism, textual criticism- potentially useful in other areas of the social sciences, though i also think some of the tools of the field are only relevant or important enough in the field and i would at most want to know the basics, im not interested in every minor detail of the field or in becoming a bible scholar.
>>18701245>to be dualistic*I guess my understanding of Paul is more appropriately described as triadic than dualistic, as is necessary for there to be an exchange of bodies made of different substances. Because there has to be the first body, made of flesh, the second body, made of spirit, and then the entity doing the exchanging (which, if it had not received a new body, would be "naked" as Paul says in 2 Corinthians 5). And that third entity could be called the soul. This might sound overcomplicated, but I believe it's exactly the view of the early "heretic" Valentinus, who was said to have been taught by a guy who was taught by Paul, so it isn't unprecedented.
>>18701245>Saul needing to rely on her for a visual description of him.The scene is quite ambiguous, but I think it's more likely that Saul sees Samuel as well.>(NASB) He said to her, "What is his form?" And she said, "An old man is coming up, and he is wrapped with a robe." And Saul knew that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground and did homage. Then Samuel said to Saul, "Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?"Saul knows the direction to bow to without Samuel ever speaking, it would be a bit silly of him to choose a random direction to do so. Plus I assume quite a lot of recently dead people would look like old men wearing robes, so there's pretty much no way to identify the man just from the woman's words. The other solution where the woman perhaps gestures towards the location she sees the elohim in and Saul recognizes the presence of Samuel just from vibes, divine inspiration or by guessing I see as less likely and is nowhere alluded to in the text.>MarkGary Habermas, famous for the conservative Minimal Facts argument has never personally dared to include the empty tomb as one. According to his informal survey (that he started compiling half a century ago by first interviewing priests and theologians before adding hundreds of non-devotional scholars to the list) only about two-thirds to three-quarters of biblical scholars believe Jesus was buried in a tomb. I don't recommend his recent On the Resurrection, but it's noteworthy for finally putting the survey in writing that can be examined by peers. His old practice was to vaguely refer to the unpublished list in debates and podcasts to score rhetorical points.Also, technically Mark's tomb isn't empty. The young man is there when the women enter, and he's still there when they run away in terror!I'm honored to have my prose be legible and coherent enough to be mistaken for a machine's, my autism and dyslexia took quite a while to rewrite the previous comment over and over.
>>18694936M. David Litwa is the most revolutionary modern scholar.This doesn't mean that he is the most correct, but he's pushing the field forwards for sure.
>>18701464>I think it's more likely that Saul sees Samuel as wellIf Saul has to ask the medium what she's seeing when Samuel is coming up and how Samuel appears, to me that's basically definitive that Saul isn't seeing him. Presumably he could tell what direction to bow based on what direction the medium is looking. And what do you think Saul would've expected going into this, coming to a medium? Did mediums normally bring up dead people that were visible to everyone else but could still pass through solid ground? (Unless you think Samuel dug his way out of the ground like a mole). It's a classic mediumship/ghost story.>there's pretty much no way to identify the man just from the woman's wordsHe would've had the additional clue that, upon seeing Samuel, the medium somehow realized that her client was Saul.>I'm honored to have my prose be legible and coherent enough to be mistaken for a machine'sSorry, it wasn't the legibility and the coherency so much as the specific structure "Think 'a' or 'b' rather than 'x' or 'y'" and the variables being substituted in a way that doesn't actually make a suitable contrast to me. Ghosts and images don't obviously go together, while ghosts and ectoplasm do go together.
>>18701513 (cont.)On second thought, I can see the contrast making sense if the idea is specifically that ectoplasm is a substance that can be touched, while ghosts are made of a substance that can't be touched (though the lore has it that ghosts can emit or make use of ectoplasm as an intermediary substance to interact with the physical world, and IIRC more recent popular media has modeled it so that ghosts are made out of ectoplasm whether or not they can be touched, which is what I was thinking of. But if pneuma can always be touched, then you'd think the Holy Spirit would be a little consistently tangible.
Whats with the prevalent pop culture notion that the ming treasure fleet could or would've discovered america?
>>18701273Could they have? Yes, they had the ocean faring vessels required to make the journey. Would they have? No, they had no reason to as it would have been completely contrary to the purpose of the journey.But the idea that they DID discover the Americas comes from this shitty book that is unanimously rejected by historians: https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/4813.1421
>>18701466>Could they have? Yes, they had the ocean faring vessels required to make the journey. Would they have? No, they had no reason to as it would have been completely contrary to the purpose of the journey.I agree. Europeans have discovered America because they actively sought wealth. China with its great fleet just showed off in sake of showing off and eventually returned back to isolationism.
Why are America’s “great” historical figures so fucking mediocre?Do they even have any objectively “great” figures?

>>18700503The ethnogenesis of Greeks is a mixture of local Pelasgians and the part of IE that came through Anatolia and the Balkans. If you are expecting ancient Greek to mean pure of either you are delusional
>>18700844they overlap with the southernmost greek islander that yes, has a shitton of middle eastern ancestry>>18701458irrelevant and dishonest, anatolian greeks are part middle eastern, on top of what myceneans have, they're not ancient greeks, they're mutts

"Richard Nixon is the kind of man who would cut down a thousand year old redwood in a national forest so he can stand on the stump and make a speech about conservation."

Why do I hear this loud blaring noise sometimes. You don't see Christians blaring at every Sunday 10AM ?
>>18701237You shitheads need to make up your minds... one minute you're saying whites are the most violent people on earth that are responsible for everything bad that ever happened to anyone, but then the next minute you're claiming they are the exact opposite.I suspect, very strongly, that you just want all whites to die so you say whatever helps in that specific moment to advance you agenda.
>>18701045Yes, whoever heard of Christians making noise on a Sunday?
>>18701083Having stayed in the Middle East, it sure sounds apocalyptic when the desert at sunset every day is filled with several prayer calls from mosques built within a few kilometres of each other, all of the calls being out of sync and with varying sound quality. It’s two minutes of “have the old gods returned?” type shit, and doesn’t inspire religious feelings as much as remind people to shut the windows that they opened earlier to see the sunset.I’ll gladly take bells from synagogues or churches any day, they’re way better and take more care to not ring all the bells in an area. Bells also have far less variability in terms of sound compared to the prayer calls.
>>18701049We will educate your children to realise how silly it all is. And once we gather enough people will eradicate your jew offshoot religion >>18701237They were violent chimps until they realized chimping out over religion was retarded in the 1800s

Why did this illiterate sandman claim he was the "last prophet" of God? Did God sign a binding contract with him saying my last and only messenger will be a pedophile marrying a 5 year old?

>>18701075He said that everything about Christianity is correct, but that instead of destroying hell, destroying all dark hell-spawned demons, that dark hell-spawned demons should be shown mercy by being allowed to worship the one true living God, the body of Christ formed of its members, the children of God who collectively form the light of God in Christ. Obviously he was a heretic, and all dark hell-spawned demons should be destroyed, so that hell is destroyed and the heavenly kingdom is spread to every corner of the earth.

Who are the rightful successors of Chuck the Big? The Dutch? The French? The Germans? The Austrians? The Hungarians? Croats?
>>18701322His male descendants died before they managed to beget sons, so it was his daughter's sons who inherited the right to claim the crown.
>>18701322I also play Crusader Kings
He’s the father of Europe, literally. Everyone in western Europe is his successor.
>>18701372>His male descendants died before they managed to beget sonsTechnically, they did survive for another century or so in both West and East Francia, whereupon the last of the Carolingians' successors came into power by being elected by a group of noblemen.>>18701382>Everyone in western Europe is his successor.I mean, under that assumption we could say the Capetians were the successors of the Carolingians, that the Bourbons were the successors of the successors of the Capetians, and that because the Bourbons kept ruling in Spain but not in France after the French Revoltion, that they became the rightful succeeding branch of the Bourbons, but since only the Iberian peninsula was conquered by Napoleon, then the Spanish colonies in the Americas were loyal to the Bourbons all along, and since the last of the Spanish colonies in the Americas to become free from Spanish rule were Cuba and Puerto Rico, but Cuba eventually did declare independence whereas Puerto Rico did not, then that makes Puerto Rico the only country that is the rightful successor to Charlemagne.
>>18701271The Belgians.
>hate jews >believes in the jewish God What causes this phenomenon?
>>18700334YHWH hates jews more than anyone and constantly punishes them in the Bible. Seems based to me.
>>18700391It's a traditional European custom to get conquered and converted to another religion.
>>18700360>Baal with another nameso... Yahweh
>>18700391Yahweh originates from southern Syria as a syncretism of El and Baal. Yahweh, although fairly recent to the canaanite canon, is considerably older than both jews and judaism.
>>18700334what's hillarious is that the abrahamocucks genuinely don't know or coping hard with the fact that they worship the same imaginary deity, which is yahweh.
France owes him a tremendous debt
>>18699467Your second point regarding his ww2 performance calls into question his ability if he was there at the forefront, but ultimately we can never know how he would perform under more favorable conditions. As for resisting american hegemony, a little late for that, if that was his concern he should've had the foresight to be more willing to sit it out and appease the axis, gaining territory and resources to counteract the obvious coming hegemony of either us or russia was a large motivation behind the nazis spergout. Of course, succumbing to one hegemony to resist another seems futile, but France surely had to have something to bargain with; just thinking of it now, Hitler was desperate to appease the brits prior to and during the war with the intent of making-use-of/preserving the british empire, more or less supplying soldiers and manufacturing in exchange for naval access/resources abroad, hoping to keep the benefit of Europes industrial efforts contained in Europe Proper. France was the other great colonial power remaining, since spain had lost jurisdiction over it's former colonies. So maybe, since the brits had no intent of resisting US ascent, France could've stepped in and offered what the brits wouldn't and through such estabilsh a French-German hegemony over Europe.
>>18699943The issue is that on the aftermath of WW1 french doctrine is undeniably the best in the world so why change that
>Anne de Gaulle was the youngest daughter of General Charles de Gaulle. She was born in Trier, Germany, where her father was stationed with the Army of Occupation in the Rhineland. She was born with Down Syndrome and in a time where disabled children were sent to institutions, she lived with her family until her death. In de Gaulle’s words, “God has given her to us. We must take responsibility for her, wherever she is and whatever she will be.”>There was one sacred rule in the de Gaulle household: Anne was never to be made to feel different or less than anyone else. Charles de Gaulle was noted for his reserve and even with family members he was usually not very demonstrative. Not so with his daughter Anne, who received a warmth that he had seemed to be storing for his entire life just for her. He would entertain her with songs, dances, and pantomimes, he would often act as a child himself to bring her joy. One Colombey resident recalled how he used to walk with her hand-in-hand around the property, caressing her and talking quietly about the things she understood. She was, he said simply, “My joy. She helped me overcome the failures in all men, and to look beyond them.”>In 1948, Anne succumbed to pneumonia, a month after her 20th birthday and died in her father's arms. Upon her death, weeping, her father said: "Now, she's like the others.">On 22 August 1962, Charles de Gaulle was the victim of an attempted assassination at Petit-Clamart. He later said that the potentially fatal bullet had been stopped by the frame of the photograph of Anne that he always carried with him, placed this particular day on the rear shelf of his car. When he died in 1970, he was buried in the cemetery of Colombey beside his beloved daughter.>She could only utter one word clearly and confidently in her entire life: ‘Papa’
>>18699943Politicians could've crushed the unions, increased professional army personnel limit and draft period in 1933. Other than that nothing.The French doctrine operates with the assumption that they have half the population of Germany and their military isn't nearly as well trained and cannot come close. People often babble about things like no radios in tanks - alright that's cool. Who's going to operate and service these radios? A guy who's drafted for a year, does basic for 3 months, then 3 months of specialist training and 6 months of actual service? A professional that the government somehow allows the employment of? Back then radios were a relatively new tech and simply speaking needed additional training and skills to troubleshoot them. The extreme limitations on manpower and degree of training allowed during the peacetime made the entire military organise itself with these shortages in mind.People will not get the unions idea so I'll explain that as well - a example or that would be the development production and deployment of MS 405/406 fighter. The union politics made it so the plane had to be made with copious amounts of individual parts(like 60% more than bf109) with techniques straight from the previous decades and any talk about automation and simplification was met with strikes. This is why 1938 was spent on reorganising the aircraft industry, under that guise the biggest union retards could've been fired, but it should've happened much earlier.
