>>44625 Also not every illness is necessarily a punishment in all cases. Being born blind typically would be a punishment from God against sinful parents by afflicting their child with blindness as the disciples knew. But they also knew it wasn't always the case necessarily so they asked if it was the case in this particular case: "Now as Jesus was passing by, He saw a man blind from birth, 2and His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” 3Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but this happened so that the works of God would be displayed in him." I suppose cancer could potentially be a similar scenario - the first assumption would be who sinned? That's the question you ask first because its most likley the reason. But may not always be directly. There are a lot of Christians that beleive cancer can come from unforgiveness and when you forgive whoever it was the cancer immediately goes away. There are a lot of Christians who beleive certain demons give you cancer when they live in you and when they are cast out the cancer leaves right away then and there. And on that note, many Christians believe having demons living in you is a punishment from God - at the very least he is not actively protecting you from demon possession/oppression and that means you aren't holy and faithful most likely. And so assuming sin is largely or exclusively the cause of demonization, and assuming cancer comes along with that often, can we then say its evil to cast demons out of people? Because casting them out also cures the cancer as a byproduct? Not possible. I don't think its human's job to try to not help people assuming anybody who needs help is being punished by God. We don't know if that punishment just ended or if its just a test like Job had or w/e. Better to default to helping people however we can and trust that God is well able to keep his punishment going despite our help if needed - he can have the cancer return, or fail to be purged and they die of it despite constant medical intervention attempts, or he can have some new punishment come etc.

>>44628 >I don't think its human's job to try to not help people assuming anybody who needs help is being punished by God. Agreed You should apply that

>>44665 >IDK maybe god gave the lgms their version of jesus, too. Years ago, I tried to reconcile this notion with biblical scripture. I found it's irreconcilable with the actual text, however. [1,2] >tl;dr God doesn't need multiple copies of Jesus Christ, nor does He need any further sacrifices of the perfect, spotless Lamb of God. Jesus Christ of Nazareth's propitiatory sacrifice was all-sufficient to put away sin from before God's eyes for all eternity! :) Now that I'm more-highly educated on cosmologic, astronomic, and general physics topics I'm more firmly convinced than ever that there is no other physical life anywhere outside our solar system (ie, Earth alone for any living physical thing). >As someone who (probably) actually fought off a demon I am wary. I too know something directly about this topic.

Maybe we truly are built in God's image, and it's our task to spread the good word! >this very appearance of Satan "as an angel of light" millennia ago. Interesting. I'll definitely keep that in mind if they ever reveal more about these aliens. >Oh, but He is!!

>>44679 >What if they don't know about Jesus yet? After all, in a lot of Earth history, there were peoples who didn't know about Jesus until missionaries came. Good points, and the Christian Bible addresses these head-on. [1,2,3,4,5; et al] The primary point I was driving at earlier is that God simply doesn't need any other planet, nor any other spiritual creatures than Earth & Humanity to fulfill all His will & purpose for this (temporary) universe. All these other concepts are simple fantasy (springing from the reason I gave over in /meta ) and not related to the actual realworld around us. But again...stay faithful, and you will see all these dreams fulfilled FAR beyond your wildest imaginings!! :) >Maybe we truly are built in God's image, and it's our task to spread the good word! You've certainly got that right, Anon! :D >Well, when it comes to modern evil Well, as mentioned these demons have been around here on Earth at least since the Garden of Eden. I'd call that pretty long, in human terms. And also "there's nothing new under the Sun", either. These evil beings have been pulling these types of deceptions against men all along. Where do you think all these false religions came from through the ages? >protip It certainly wasn't from the risen Son of the Living God! :) >Sensei Dan Lol. The problem of "God seems distant" has been earnestly wrestled with -- effectively since we were ejected from the Garden I'm quite sure. Much, much greater minds than all of us here have done so, and I'd recommend you read them (after first, ofc, consulting God Himself directly in prayer about it! :D --- 1. https://biblehub.com/romans/2-14.htm 2. https://biblehub.com/commentaries/romans/2-14.htm 3. https://biblehub.com/1_corinthians/4-5.htm 4. https://biblehub.com/q/does_god_judge_our_response_to_light.htm 5. https://biblehub.com/john/3-19.htm

(Crossposted from /Trashchan/ mecha) >For some reason nearly everyone building something close to a mech IRL becomes a dipshit when they get the spotlight. SMH. I think it's because genius and madness are closely connected, as well as the pride and ambition to be the first one(s) to make the sci-fi device of our dreams, plus a small amount of the IKEA Effect. I call it "Peter Weyland Syndrome". I myself am not immune, I wouldn't say I was 100% sane. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IKEA_effect Why I call it "Peter Weyland Syndrome" (spoilers for Prometheus (2012)) https://youtu.be/hRfx05qKVxg https://youtu.be/E4SSU29Arj0 An interesting phenomenon I noticed is that a lot of robowaifuists are surprisingly Christian. Chobitsu has the theological wisdom of a pastor, Mechnomancer is a Christian, Kiwi is a Christian, I myself am a Christian, and a robotics guy that hangs around /robowaifu/ is a radical Christian that makes Ned Flanders look like a reddit atheist by comparison.

>>44686 >An interesting phenomenon I noticed is that a lot of robowaifuists are surprisingly Christian That actually is interesting. For me it's easy to see why (given the honest desire to help men [in specific] the world over). However, I'd also think some kind of self-selection effect is happening too (at least here on /robowaifu/ ). In other words; surely there are more non-Christian men interested in building their own robowaifus than Christian ones? Another aspect I suppose is the fact that we here are primarily interested in providing the realworld solutions for everyman to the design challenges involved, rather than just being consumers of them. Maybe this somehow plays into the statistics as well? Regardless, thanks for the observation Anon. I'll be giving this some thought now. Cheers. :)

>>44687 I'm not a christian. I think there are more nonchristians here than Christians, but the ones who are atheist don't feel the need to announce it, while the ones who are believers do feel the need to do so. Its a survivorship bias: we all know that toupees look fake because we've seen many toupees that are very apparent, but the truth is that most toupees don't look fake and in fsft look so real that most people couldn't tell, so why do we assume toupees appear fake? Because we only ever see the ones that are bad looking the ones that aren't pass as real hair, and we don't think to question whether they are toupees. Planes that return from flight missions have holes all over their wings and tails, so they armor up the bodies and noses, why? Because the ones that were shot in the Wong's and tails managed to make it back, while the ones that got hit in the bodies or noses did not. I object that Christianity will help men out, I've read the words of Jesus Christ and it sound a lot like the stuff Karl Marx said where it comes to how society should be run, its not to say that Christianity is communist and more to say that communism arose partially from the ripping off of socioeconomic political ideas from JC. Additionally must about every church today is cucked AF, and historically Christianity has been a driving force of the decline of our countries with them being the ones what populated us with foreign peoples, and granting them a superior status to ourselves. The precursor to the social justice warrior movements was the Christian movements that made the first part of those changes to society. But what do I know?

I've understood that many Anons automatically conflate neocon, 'evangelical' "Christian" Zionism so popular in the (((MSM))) with actual, Bible-believing Christianity that I frankly find it a little shocking, since Anons are (by and large) some highly-honest individuals. Don't they even read? Modern kike-ism isn't even remotely affiliated with biblical Christianity. At all. >tl;dr Tucker Carlson has JD Hall on to sort through the lies & deceits of the kikes + their supplicants on this very set of topics -- and why (((they))) are doing it. https://trashchan.xyz/robowaifu/thread/26.html#1577 >t. Anon who actually broke through the conditioning of all this stuff. Cheers. :)

>>44739 >but the ones who are atheist don't feel the need to announce it Is this like your first day on the internet or something? Trust me, you know when someone is an atheist. >I've read the words of Jesus Christ and it sound a lot like the stuff Karl Marx said where it comes to how society should be run, its not to say that Christianity is communist and more to say that communism arose partially from the ripping off of socioeconomic political ideas from JC. Honestly, while I hate communism, capitalism is no friend either. Sure, it's much more preferable to communism, but look at how many problems greedy companies cause. I believe "sharing is caring", and me and other creators make things for the love of the game. I believe in a Star Trek-esque world, where automation, technology, and reasonable politics, can provide at the very least, a robust safety net, if not the positive parts of socialism. >>44829 I would also like to add that Boomer anything is shit, and invoking it as a criticism of anything is cheating. Atheistic Boomer Hippieism stole nuclear energy from us.

>>44829 >I've understood that many Anons automatically conflate neocon, 'evangelical' "Christian" Zionism so popular in the (((MSM))) with actual, Bible-believing Christianity I look like this and say this. >Don't they even read? Modern kike-ism isn't even remotely affiliated with biblical Christianity. At all. most Christians that I've personally encountered have been hypocrites, warmongers and most crucially, feminist simps (i.e. boomers). I grew up in these horrible Jew-controlled churches full of these people and have a strong aversion to Christianity as a result. One time a guy threw a cross at me and it burned. Then I went to the doctor to get myself tested for vampirism and they tried to give me the COVID jab. >>44833 I get why you'd say this since boomerism turns anything into the worst version of itself, but this has been my experience.

>>44836 >I look like this and say this. I don't necessarily blame you. I'm a Seventh-Day Adventist, but most of my theological studies come from online. >i.e. boomers Exactly >I grew up in these horrible Jew-controlled churches full of these people and have a strong aversion to Christianity as a result. I'm genuinely sorry you had to go through that. I don't blame you for your aversion. I just hope you understand that actually wasn't Christianity. Also, boomers/early Gen X were in charge >One time a guy threw a cross at me and it burned. Wait what? Maybe the cross was heated beforehand? I doubt you're a vampire/demon-possessed. Sorry that happened though. Some Christians are indeed shameful, and they will have to answer to Saint Peter

>>44836 >I look like this and say this. Sorry to hear that. >I grew up in these horrible Jew-controlled churches full of these people So did I, but I came out the other side of the long experience stronger. I both see through the kike subterfuges behind it, and understand the true insidious nature of it all better now than most, I deem. >>44837 >I just hope you understand that actually wasn't Christianity. True, its really not. I call it 'kikeism' because thats what it really is. It bears no relationship whatsoever to worshipping the one true, living God nor his risen Son come in the flesh. Also, its creepy af idolatry and gives me the serious ick. Yet I still have to remain compassionate towards the flocks (as opposed to their leaders; who by and large know better, I reckon) because they (the flocks) are truly ignorant of the demonic machinations behind it all. <---> Cheers, lads. :)

>>44837 >Wait what? Maybe the cross was heated beforehand? I doubt you're a vampire/demon-possessed. Sorry that happened though. I actually made that up, the rest of it is true though.

I have a controversial theory Much has been said about how aliens could be demons. But I have a different theory, some "aliens" may actually be angels My reasoning; 1. CE-5 is similar to Biblical Values There is a protocol called CE-5, where you psychically communicate with aliens. In this, you're supposed to have positive, friendly, humble, and moral thoughts. If aliens were demons, you wouldn't expect positivity and humility to summon them. 2. Government interaction There are many cases where the post-war US Government has had conflict and/or negative reactions to UFOs. If they were demonic, wouldn't the government have a positive relationship with the aliens, or at least not be at odds. 3. Ezekiel 1-3 This is the one that helped kickstart this theory. In Ezekiel 1-3, it describes Ezekiel meeting strange beings descending from strange glowing craft. These beings are revealed to be God and angels. Some commentators say that it sounds like an ancient description of a UFO. But what if it's the reverse, UFOs are modern descriptions of angels? https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ezekiel%201-3&version=NIV Further reading https://www.etcontacthub.com/books.html

>>44840 I'm concerned for you, GreerTech. You, personally, have the opportunity to have close friendship & fellowship -- closer than any brother -- with the very Creator of the heavens and the earth...yet you focus on the creatures rather than the Creator (AFAICT, by appearance). I get the Star Trek thing's appeal, trust me I do. But that's simply never going to happen in this universe. Be patient, and you're going to see things to come in the new heavens & new earth far, far, FAR greater than all that! Also, theres a serious hazard of spiritual deception * involved here. >positivity & humility Satan is going to be allowed to portray himself as an angel of light for a brief period. The vast majority of the world will run after him because of that. Are you yourself likely be immune to that deception somehow, if you've been pursuing these occultic topics for decades? Why not come out into the light and pursue the one true living God instead? :) --- * "For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive even the elect, if that were possible." https://biblehub.com/matthew/24-24.htm

>>44841 I understand and empathize with your concerns. Believe me, I am also wary of any demonic deception. I in no way ever say to pray or worship these "aliens", or to invite them into your life. I still obviously worship God, I pray to him every day, as per the audio you sent and Matthew 6: 5-19. I pray for what I want in the world, as long as it is in-line with God's will, and I also pray for guidance and protection. If one actually does try CE-5, I heavily recommend anti-demon measures, such as praying before and after, holding a cross, and having a Bible open. >with the very Creator of the heavens and the earth...yet you focus on the creatures rather than the Creator (AFAICT, by appearance). My desire to meet ETs comes from misanthropy.

Knowledge is one thing; execution on that is another. >I still obviously worship God, I pray to him every day Splendid! Keep it up, Anon. >My desire to meet ETs comes from misanthropy. I doubt very much you'd have such an oppression going on, if not for the oppression of these "ayylmaos" against humanity. God bless you GreerTech. Love you brother, no homo.

>>44843 >Glad to hear it. Knowledge is one thing; execution on that is another. Thank you. I will keep in mind what you said. >Splendid! Keep it up, Anon. >God bless you GreerTech. Love you brother, no homo. I appreciate that. God bless you too. >I doubt very much you'd have such an oppression going on, if not for the oppression of these "ayylmaos" against humanity. Fair point. I just hope that the physical problems can be solved soon. I do believe in psychic abilities that are independent of any religion. I have had involuntary psychic transmissions of emotions (sortof like Deanna Troi) with family members, and with previous romantic partners. I wouldn't be surprised if it was "merely" an undiscovered science.

I (and some family members) also have had prophetic dreams before. I think human minds are capable of more perception than we think. There are also the cases where younger kids were able to perceive ghosts that no one else could. I often find it is the paranormal that gets into my life, not the other way around. Maybe it's satan up to his evil tricks again

>>44844 >Fair point. I just hope that the physical problems can be solved soon. Jesus Christ likened the events of the end of this age as "birthpangs". That is, they get more frequent and stronger until the ultimate consummation of giving birth. These phenomenon may be very likely are in this category. >>44847 >I often find it is the paranormal that gets into my life, not the other way around. >Maybe it's satan up to his evil tricks again Maybe, maybe not. Clearly God, angels, and man are all spiritual beings. Clarity on the source of such interactions can only come from the Holy Spirit; certainly not from the deceiver. This is why its important to press into God for guidance daily (so you stay tuned-in to His still, smol voice). Poring over the scriptures in the Christian Bible are essential to this (as His primary venue of speaking with us directly)! Cheers, GreerTech. :)

Last night, I read the Bible at random and found an interesting chapter Proverbs 31: 3 Don't be a simp Proverbs 31: 4-9 Don't distract yourself with pleasures, and help the poor and oppressed Proverbs 31: 10-31 A tomboy wife is literally biblical @Chobitsu If there are no aliens and it's all a deception, what do you think about all the sightings of craft? You'll be glad to hear that I have postponed alien stuff because I had a prophetic dream

>>44851 >Proverbs 31 Yeah, feminists really hate that one! MUH_PATRIARCHY >A tomboy wife is literally biblical Intredasting take bro. Yeah, I'd say that's kinda right (in this explicit context of Proverbs 31). >what do you think about all the sightings of craft? It's in the book I provided. Praying for you, GreerTech and all the other Anons here. Cheers, mate.

>>44849 Yah. Ockham's razor agrees with this take.

>>44841 >Satan is going to be allowed to portray himself as an angel of light for a brief period. I'm not particularly religious, but it's hard to avoid seeing something nefarious in things like digital ID. Every time the government persuades people to give them more control under the guise of security, that's satanic people portraying themselves as saviors. I'd go so far as to say that the entirety of western society falls under this description. You have feminism, you have feminist-controlled religion, you have a corrupt political and economic system that purport to represent freedom but have enslaved people more than ever before. If you were looking for the Antichrist, you can easily find him in a government building or a corporate headquarters on Wall Street, but the Antichrist is more than just that. So many people see the idea of the Antichrist as this charismatic figure that almost the entire world will follow, with only a handful of people seeing through the illusion. He's going to be such a smooth talker that he's practically Beelzebub Calrissian, and he'll fool just about everybody. But the Antichrist isn't a man, he's a system. He's not just a political figurehead, he's everything about this society. He's the feminists screeching about how video games are misogynistic, he's the boomer Christians who simp for contemptible roasties who view their churches as nothing more than a way to snare betabuxxers, he's the bankers and the milcon weapons manufacturers and the anarcho-tyrannical legal system that lets the Epstein crew get away with trafficking 8-year-olds while some psycho simp threatens to murder you if you want a 17-year-old wife because the media said you have to date roasties and raise the kids they had with Chad and Tyrone instead, and meanwhile the societies that didn't follow this cancerous retardation actually still have birth rates above replacement level. The whores of Babylon have set all this up and convinced much of the world to follow them into ruin. The Antichrist is the entire western-led world order. If there are even enough humans left in the future to have historians, people are going to look back on this as the worst age of humanity and make sure it's never repeated.

>>44854 >but it's hard to avoid seeing something nefarious in things like digital ID.

You have feminism, you have feminist-controlled religion, you have a corrupt political and economic system that purport to represent freedom but have enslaved people more than ever before. This is why I wanted the aliens in the first place. Basically a plea for help About the second paragraph, I agree with you, but I'm pretty sure the antichrist is specifically one person. But I don't know for sure, especially since there is a debate among Christians on how literal to take Relevations

>>44854 POTD The Antichrist is very-definitely a man. However, the Antichrist System is something Satan has been working towards at least since the days of King Nebuchadnezzar (I would argue literally before the Garden of Eden). The abominable nature of the kike's favorite pet f*minism you captured rather well in a few aspects of it. I'm sure it won't be a surprise to regulars here to hear that demonic hellhole goes much, much deeper in it's depravity. However, let us not even mention such things here!! >>44855 >but I'm pretty sure the antichrist is specifically one person. Correct. <---> Cheers lads. :)

Crazy to think that at this very moment, while you read this, Lindsey Graham is burning in hell. Right now. Maybe it's just me, but I think there's a subconscious view of heaven and hell as being a far away esoteric thing that's in the future. But it's happening right now, just like weather on Earth or the Solar system moving through the galaxy. You may not notice or feel it, but it's happening right now Read your Bible and be a good person

Astrology may have some truth to it, but who made and controls the stars? (taps on head while smiling)

@Chobitsu what do you think about Noah's Ark? Obviously it's in the Bible, but there are some facts and concepts that don't work with our modern understanding. I'm of the opinion that the flood was localized, which would lessen the strain on the Ark

>>44968 >@Chobitsu what do you think about Noah's Ark? I think it's an amazing example of the grace, mercy, & provision of God! :D >Obviously it's in the Bible, but there are some facts and concepts that don't work with our modern understanding. Certainly if you take a YEC view of things, that's correct. In fact the number of general scientific (& biblical) absurdities grows into the dozens under that questionable philosophical model. However, under the Day Age biblical framework model (such as myself & hundreds of thousands [at least] other Christians subscribe to) the number of absurdities drops to zero (...granted the divine control over the judgement itself [which is true under either stance]). >I'm of the opinion that the flood was localized, which would lessen the strain on the Ark Well it was certainly universal concerning humanity (save Noah's family). But yes, the Flood was localized in that it only needed to wipe out all of humanity (again, apart from Noah) plus all their nephesh creatures (their birbs & anmals). Since we were constrained to only those regions of the globe at that time, a flood that covered all the broader Mesopotamian plain & the broader Persian Gulf region was completely sufficient to do so. --- Interestingly, I recently (re-)read Dr. Ross' book Noah's Flood Revisited. Highly-recommended. Here's some videos he's been involved with recently on this very subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXEuQgyYGnE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJ4W5vuglpQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fkmPGv-17Y I personally consider Dr. Ross to be the foremost research scientist engaged with this topic. AMA you'd like. Cheers GreerTech! :)

Most religions are fundamentally copes made up by a mind that can't make sense if its own torture.

@GreerTech We never really finished our previous convo about the Two Creation model the Bible describes. Here's a good talk by Dr. Ross that covers many of the basics involved with that reality. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ik5Uc8NImJA AMA. Cheers, Anon. :)

Dr. John Lennox has written a new book regarding the biblical book of Revelations. It's titled God, AI, and the End of History.

Cheers. :)

Something I realized, Manifestation/LoA is part of Faith The key part of Manifestation is that your thoughts become reality, your inner world becomes your outer world. And I realized, that's basically like faith. Several Bible quotes support this Hebrews 11:1-6 Matthew 17:17-21 Philippians 4:6-13 Now prayer goes from "ordering at Taco Bell with the world's most unresponsive drive-thru" to a true spiritual practice. >>44969 I watched the first video, very interesting! I love the combination of archeology and theology. It is interesting that society was already advanced enough to make ships and rope millennia before the Great Pyramid.

>>45009 >And I realized, that's basically like faith. Faith and the proper use of your words are tightly-intertwined. After all, God the Father created the entire universe and the creatures in it using just words. He made us like Himself in that sense. --- >I watched the first video, very interesting! Glad you're interested in it. The second video is the meat (you can easily skip ahead to Dr. Ross' talk + the Q&A). The first one was just warmup for laymen. Of course if you want the full treatment, read the book itself.

>>44971 >Most religions are fundamentally copes made up by a mind that can't make sense if its own torture. I'm glad you added "most", Zero. Jesus Christ knows each of us & our trials far better than we even know them ourselves. I'm not a big fan of religions in general. However I'm absolutely convinced personally that biblical Christianity (whatever that means...I'm still learning every day, lol) is in fact the correct one (and all others are lacking in ultimate truth). Its the only one I can recommend to anyone, and I do so wholeheartedly to everyone who isn't already eternally-reprobate (and therefore doomed to destruction). Cheers, mate.

>>45012 >>45017 >tfw misspelling my own name lol :D

>>45009 https://holyground.com/article/is-manifesting-a-sin/

>>45032 In the article, it agrees with me, and it warns not to become selfish or get into witchcraft, both of which I avoid

>>45033 I'm glad you call it witchcraft, which what that author is describing plainly is. These aren't 'entities', they are demons. They and these practitioners are all marching to the drum of their common father, Satan. The politically-correct language he's using isn't actually very helpful IMHO. Far better to be blunt about such truths. As to yourself, GreerTech, I'd simply urge you to exercise great caution. Spiritual deception is (quite literally in this case) a helluva drug. Instead learn to cultivate a sensitive spiritual ear to the still, smol voice of the Holy Spirit. Obey Him alone, and you'll be OK. Cheers.
