"Pope to visit Moroccan imam school to boost moderate Islam" The world is changing. Christianity, Europe, etc. is going away as primarily important, partly because you people don't care. But it's happening, whether you all of a sudden whine about it or not. As someone who's had to put up with you people, let me assure: you're the problem. Not the Pope. Not even the American government, per se. You. You're the problem. You won't even put up with serious biblical study or scientific study or anyone asking you to give a damn or actually do anything to solve a problem, including even think about solving it, even if it's explicitly in the constitution. You don't tolerate sane thoughts. To Hell with you!
Here's me, by the way, from a few years ago, before I got the central concept here - about the exact one "swimming upstream" from the Father breaking the egg, providing the only way to the life - the resurrection - that God offers us. I did not grow up Communist at all or Muslim, etc. I don't even have any funny accent, even though my grandad was "PA Dutch":
I apologize for not getting the central concept at this time in my life. But, hopefully, you get the idea that they're insane. I was an evangelical Christian pastor presenting the Bible, as best I knew how, from the original Greek. And they didn't tolerate it, complaining about predestination. These people are useless, whatever the older generation may have been. (The older missionary, by the way, I was referring to at the beginning was a guy who influenced cannibals in Papua New Guinea to stop being cannibals, etc.)
"Certainty" The third triangular number (Luke) is the nail that "nails down" the visible to the invisible. Luke actually contradicts Matthew. That's very important in understanding what is the message and what isn't - not historical, for example.
"Certainty" was my own translation of a Greek word in the context of the opening sentence (which is the length of a paragraph) based on its common definition and biblical occurrences.
These Americans freaked out about something that I told them FROM THE BIBLE itself. I didn't even know what I was talking about, quite, not yet. And they freaked out ABOUT THE BOOK. I assure you; they're crazy. They deserve everything that they're about to get, if it's not good.
