Hang on there ...... some Christians CAN do whatever they want and not be judged or held accountable by God ... what do you think Christ came for ? Believe in him and sins are forgiven ! And that is all based on being followers of Christ , not Satan . get yer facts straight Homer ; Evangelical Christians and some other Protestant denominations believe that all sins, including future sins, are forgiven through faith in Jesus Christ's sacrifice on the cross. This belief is rooted in the idea that Jesus' death fully atoned for all sins, past, present, and future, for those who believe in Him. Here's a more detailed explanation: Justification by Faith: Many Protestants believe that salvation is received through faith alone, meaning that a person is declared righteous in God's sight (justified) by believing in Jesus, not by their own works or merits. Atonement for all sins: They believe that Christ's sacrifice on the cross was a complete and sufficient payment for all sins of humanity. Future sins forgiven: Because of this belief in the completeness of Christ's atonement, they believe that future sins are also forgiven at the moment of faith. Ongoing relationship with God: While future sins are believed to be forgiven, Christians are still encouraged to confess their sins and seek forgiveness for how they fail in this life, fostering a closer relationship with God. Emphasis on grace: This perspective emphasizes God's grace and forgiveness, highlighting that salvation is a gift freely offered through faith. It's important to note that not all Christians share this view. Some, particularly within the Eastern Orthodox Church, believe that while Christ's sacrifice provides the possibility of forgiveness, believers must still actively strive for holiness and participate in sacraments like confession to receive forgiveness for sins. So in some cases , I can believe in Jesus and yes, do whatever I want , and not be judged at all as I am already saved .

A short essay on the subtle architecture of our inner life

A short essay on the subtle architecture of our inner life
Nungali replied to Bindi's topic in General Discussion
I would like to put more of this here . ( This above post was a response to Bindi's ; '' I bring it up here because this thread is fundamentally about head/male/shiva and heart/female/shakti energies. '' So, more on how Australian Aboriginals see this 'male / female ' system working , of course they dont see it as male and female , as such , that is a manifestation of it .... in a way . ( Nothing is always simple in their systems ) Also each group has a different name for this energy and variations in applying it . However it is underlying system of a lot of what they do . SO lets refer to the two types as 1 or 2 . Everything is either a 1 or a 2 ; places , animals , plants rocks, star groups and of course people , only here , a man or a woman can be a 1 or a 2 . All 1's are part of a big family and 2's another family , so a 1 cannot marry a 2 ( that would be like incest . The rigid enforcement of this , in its further development ( in some groups they have included further divisions of 1 into 2 , and 2 into 2 making 4 sub-sections , and further making 16 and extended to a base 64 pattern ) have enabled small interconnected groups to propagate and thrive without inbreeding for over 60,000 years . (I have a post elsewhere describing how this system came about ) . It extends through family in an interesting way . The following is a generalization as there are a few variations and adaptions in some places ( eg. some still follow a 2 part subsection, some a 4 or 16 part ). Star with yourself might be the easiest way to get it . You have a biological mother and father . But all of your mothers sisters are your mothers too , with the same responsibilities ( so no one young mum , or any mum has to look after all her children all the time and children get a variety of experience ). The same with your father , all his brothers are your fathers . And all of their other children are your brothers and sisters . You could have a 'Mum' younger than yourself , but you would still have to treat her like she is your mother . Your mother's brothers and husbands are 'uncle's ' , your father's wives and sisters are 'auntie's ' . You end up with a huge number of 'cousins ' Your nation ( see map - there were over 250 of then ) would consist of groups ( sort of like tribes ) , they could intermarry but the same rules apply , some you could marry some you could not , as each tribe had a 'higher level' totem , and they are compatible or not . Totems are of two classes , another set of 1s and 2s . Within the tribe are clans or family groups , again with a 'lower' level totem . And each individual has a totem ; animal plant , part of or force in nature , all with 'moiety' . ( each of two parts into which a thing is or can be divided. "the tax was to be delivered in two moieties" Anthropology each of two social or ritual groups into which a people is divided, especially among Australian Aboriginal people and some North American Indians. a part or portion, especially a lesser share. ) Its tempting to see it as some form of Daoism or dualistic expression , but it born from observing nature and it was implemented by a very wise 'Lao' - who was described as a 'visionary artist ' . He made a model to explain it everyone and representatives of the nations met to hear his idea / revelation of this 'new age ' ( then the end of the ice age / great drought a 're-greening' of Australia and the arriving of prosperous times and 'sharing' ) . He didnt draw trigrams or even a flow chart .... the story would have survived then, that this 'visionary-artist' did a 'painting ', it doesnt say that , it says he made an 'art-object' that he made and used to explain his idea .... a model . An object isnt a painting , its something like a sculpture . Nowadays we use diagrams like these to explain some of these systems ; I am wondering if the original model was anything like this , but in '3-D' ? It could be made from sticks .... different colors , bits of fibers and skin or hair tied to bits as 'code ' ..... and if an 'object' it can be rotated so other relationships are revealed . [ The last part is pure conjecture on my part ... but these guys were / are smart ! I remember once at a meeting a passer-byer in a group laughed with his mates at the 'old Aboriginal man with the paint on his face and in 'underpants' ' ( a type of 'lap-lap' ) , an attendee at the meeting on the outskirts was offended and approached him ; '' I will have you know that is Professor Mulwindie Gulammaray , he holds several honorary doctorates , from more than one university , is an expert and consultant in six languages and is right now giving a talk to researchers from the Australian National University , so, be on your way , or shut up and sit down and listen - you might learn something ! ] . -
Indeed! I am a Cancer ... what does that even mean ? It means that when I was born the Sun was in that segment of the ecliptic 93 degrees along from the equinoctial point . . . nothing to do with 'the stars ' at all Fascinating , thanks . I should get my ' goatiness ' sorted out more thoroughly . Because really .... I am nothing like a goat ( well , maybe just a bit )

There is absolutely NO historical president to support this straw man claim that historians think people in antiquity were straight forward Even Herodotus , the 'Father of History' is notoriously recognized as inaccurate ... and dont start me on Biblical scribes ! I can say and prove a lot more of this , if anyone is interested ..... but I doubt this thread is about that Stick this comment into your AI ; ' the father of history is inaccurate ' and see what it tells you .

When you recover from the shock, can you answer my question ?

That's bleeding obvious ! And why do you think that is ? You do know what stirring the pot actually does ? AI Overview Cooks stir pots primarily to ensure even cooking and prevent ingredients from sticking or burning on the bottom. Stirring also helps to distribute heat and blend flavors, resulting in a more consistent and delicious final product. Here's a more detailed breakdown: Preventing sticking and burning: Ingredients, especially those with sugars or starches, can quickly stick and burn on the bottom of a hot pan if not stirred. Stirring helps to lift these ingredients off the surface and prevent them from overcooking in one spot. Even heat distribution: Stirring ensures that heat is distributed throughout the pot, so all ingredients cook at a similar rate. This is especially important when cooking larger batches of food or when using high heat. Flavor blending: Stirring helps ingredients to mix and interact with each other, allowing flavors to meld together. This can create a more complex and balanced taste in the finished dish. Maintaining texture: For some dishes, like sauces or stews, stirring helps to prevent ingredients from separating and maintaining a smooth, consistent texture. ------------ It was your choice of phrase , not mine .

Its YOU ! It is NOT ominous ... might I suggest you either grow up or mind your own business ? I offer to take this to my PM as I didn't want to make LUkes feelings a side issue topic of this thread and do it in public . HE can decide to do it privately, not at all or on the forum YOU have decided to drag the issue on in public for him ... maybe you should check with him first on how he feels about this ?
