Lemmy moment

Lemmy isn’t a site- it’s a piece of software.

The software is developed by communists and there are communist sites running lemmy. However the guys developing the software’s political opinions don’t affect the work itself. It’s open source also.

That’s very lucky

They have enough donations to run for like a century. So I think there are higher priorities.

maybe you shouldn’t give to Wikipedia. They’re doing alright.

Maybe donate to your local lemmy instance?

Isn’t it open source? Would heavily doubt it for downloads. Development, I’m not sure about

Does ubuntu have this? Or does one need to install something to set this up

Is that where the whole “all Christians disappear” trope came from? Because that’s certainly not from the Bible

You lot scare me, judging by these replies.

Christians don’t believe that the Bible is the literal spoken word of God. Jesus is The Word.

We believe in “divine inspiration” that everything written in it is appointed to be written by God through human authors - that God intended for man to write and compile it. But in reality it’s 65 separate works.

The Bible is more of a parallel to Mohammed and Jesus moreso a parallel to the Qur’an if you compare them.

The vast majority of denominational split is over Church structure. The Bible isn’t really clear on how to run a Church or the very specifics (classic one: when Jesus said “this is my body”, how do we interpret that?) yet it’s quite clear over the important issues- that Jesus, who is God, died for the remission of sins.

I think that’s more relevant. The differeny Christian denominations worship the same God, rather than Muslims and Jews

Why would a captured slave people be producing their own pottery, exactly?

The old testament shows Egyptian influences- Moses’ name is Egyptian, the Ark of the Covenant is Egyptian in design. There is a lack of archeological expeditions either in this field. I don’t really know how you’d definitively prove this.

Not really (unless someone greatly misunderstands theology). God has no opposite - Satan is merely an angel, who’s opposite is St Michael the Archangel. Revelation depicts Satan being destroyed without much of a fight.
