Lol people down voting like Google AI is a reliable source for anything 🤣
I see AI Google results which always indicate straight BS to me
No problem! It's nicely done and I've been listening to it bc I meant to read Josephus but never have the time lol
Worth a listen. On the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD.
Final thought: be more Berean, fren. Don't just accept what you've been told. Examine it. That's all. God bless 🙌
Think for yourself, fren.
I guess you never read any of Acts when the early church members and other disciples were distrustful of Paul. 😆 not surprised.
Just because the letters start with an introduction by Paul doesn't mean he wrote them lol. If I started this reply with "I am Knotnow and I write to you..." it wouldn't mean you wrote it eithee.

Paul also says "to the jews I am as a jew, to the gentiles as a gentile." Duplicitous at best, deceptive at worst.
Tabor is only one example of a scholar who has a healthy perspective on Paul. There are many others. I myself wondered for years what it was about Paul I didn't like and it is only recently that I've come to realize it's that he is a boastful, lying, arrogant psychopath who puts words into the mouth of Christ and does things to elevate his own status.
He regularly claims things in opposition to Christ then claims if we don't believe him we won't get into heaven. Come now.
The Didache, the earliest manual of the Christian church, offers a decidedly non Pauline perspective on many things. Take a look at that once. Oh wait, you'll say it "led me astray and you're not interested in the teachings of the early church" because it doesn't support your Pauline perspective.
I'm curious what Bible YOU are reading 🤣
Protocols?
Ummm, there's recorded evidence he beat James up at one meeting.
Many of the Pauline letters are not even attributed to Paul. So yeah, let's toss them and balance it out a bit.
What do you yet out of carrying water for a guy who admits in his own writings to being a liar and a Herodiam and whose teachings directly contradict those of the Christ he claimed to speak for? 🤔
Many of the ACTUAL disciples didn't like or trust Paul.
Check out some of scholar James Tabors videos. They're long but good. You'll come away wondering why Paul inserted himself into Christianity so hardcore.
2 witnesses fren. You could claim to meet Christ in a Chili's in Dubuque. Would that make it so??
Paul's whole shtick was based on claims of something only he experienced.
One of the requirements to be an apostle at the time was to have been with Christ from the start. Watch some of James Tabors videos, you'll find an interesting perspective
Down vote all you want but look into how Paul steamrolled James and forced his own Neo-Plafonic theology on the Jerusalem church without ever having met the living Christ and you'll begin to see that there's more here than we learned in catechism
He's not wrong about Paul tho
I hope Johnstown finally gets rebuilt so we can stop paying the Liquor Tax for Flood restoration from 1936.
Oh wait, Johnstown was fully rebuilt by 1940 thanks to the tax and is still a shithole but they never stopped collecting the tax

Where does one get this dye?
I'd love to not wear sunglasses but I have ever since 7th grade bc transitioning from dark to light causes migraines for me. I'm nearly 50 and can count on one hand number of days I saw sunlight without my glasses
I had to go thru a whole raft of shit just to volunteer in my own sons school district where we have been for five years and they all know me. Something doesn't check out here

Ohhhh gotcha
But that's what im saying- if there is no tax then once the rental is paid off the rich person doesn't have to worry if it's being rented or not. There will be no worry either if they pass it down to kids or what have you - they won't have to worry about inheritance or property tax on it. Essentially it can be in the family forever.
I couldn't inherit my grandfather's house bc at the time the taxes were $500/month and my whole mortgage somewhere else was only 500/month
Same with my other grandparents house. I don't want it anyway but right now it is valued at 300,000 and the taxes are close to $6k per year for a small 3 bedroom rancher
No taxes? Shit I'd have kept both houses
Exactly. I've seen some real doozies from it, even about cut and dried factual stuff like the plot of a movie
