If all you know is the flesh, that's all you can know, Chris. Until you seek the truth for real, and Jesus comes to you and saves you, you'll never know what I'm talking about, because the flesh cannot know spiritual matters. You cite something pagan, even if it has such roots, that's not what's celebrated today. Over time it's morphed into something else to the point where people today don't have any idea about what that root may have been. Today, they gather to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Easter Sunday, or Resurrection Day, follows Good Friday, the day our Lord was crucified. It has nothing to to do with paganism. And your inability to see it does not change that fact. You and Leigh both, and many others like you, who will not seek the truth, and therefore operate apart from it. -- Rick C. Hodgin |

Eventually people like me and Chris will become the majority and Christianity will die out; I imagine Islam will take over from Christianity but Islam will too also die out eventually; atheism and agnosticism will win through in the end. /Flibble -- 😎 |

I am mostly liberal, then again I have some points... Conservative in certain aspects. Math is one of them. Fractals are created using math and I have a glitch when somebody says fractals are god. Well, okay, but whatever, peace be with you forevermore, lets nerd out! For instance, watch this when you are in the mood, so to speak: https://youtu.be/kEyPWJVYp84 This guy tries to make fractals all about God! Why? I don't know. Are fractals a secret code into nature? Perhaps... I do not know if a God is involved. |

Jesus put to death the Old Testament in His death at the cross. He's made all things new. Jesus explicitly stated that the Law will not diseappear, and that whoever follows the Law and teaches it will be called great in heaven. "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I didn't come to destroy them, but to fulfill them, because I tell all of you with certainty that until heaven and earth disappear, not one letter or one stroke of a letter will disappear from the Law until everything has been accomplished." Notice especially how he continues: "So whoever sets aside one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom from heaven. But whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom from heaven 20 because I tell you, unless your righteousness greatly exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom from heaven!" For a religious zealot you don't seem very keen on following your own god's commandments, which Jesus himself instructed you to do. > Research these things, Juha. Learn the truth from the Bible itself. I seem to know the bible better than you. I think it's you who haven't researched it enough. You are nothing but a hypocrite. You preach your religion to others, but you don't even follow it yourself, which is the textbook definition of a hypocrite. |

You could all be spared from what's coming. The Rapture won't happen which is just another reason why Christianity will die out: most Christians will come to realize that it is just a scam leaving just the nutters such as yourself ranting on street corners holding up signs saying "The End Is Nigh". /Flibble -- 😎 |

There's a law on the books here in the United States that says I must drive slower than the maximum speed limit. It's a law enforceable by the police, fines, and jail time if I violate it enough. But that law is for people who drive vehicles over 13,000 pounds. It's a valid law on the books, but it doesn't apply to me. It has not changed, even though I am no longer subject to it. > certainty that until heaven and earth disappear, not one letter or one > stroke of a letter will disappear from the Law until everything has been > accomplished." Jesus put the Law of Moses to death in His death on the cross. That death is for all who are born again (of the spirit) into the New Testament, the New Covenant of His blood. The old remains, Juha, but it no longer applies to those who are born again. It no longer has sting, or power over men. That's not to say it isn't profitable for obeying many aspects of it, as I indicated. It is profitable for shoring up your physical life against the Earthly attacks by the enemy of this world (also a spirit). > from heaven 20 because I tell you, unless your righteousness greatly exceeds > that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom from > heaven!" You're missing the point. Jesus is saying that our righteousness does not come from us, but from Him. But even in our Earthly form, we must be sincere in seeking. We must be pure of heart, mind, more so than the hypocrite scribes and Pharisees were. That movement comes also by the spirit, though our flesh can also have a zeal and vigor based on the measurements of abilities and traits God poured out to us in our creation. It all comes together and works for God when you are called by Him according to His purpose with the John 3 born again nature. God does it all internally, but He allows us to walk in His guidance and movement in our lives. > You are nothing but a hypocrite. You preach your religion to others, but > you don't even follow it yourself, which is the textbook definition of > a hypocrite. You look at things a particular way, Juha, but it's not the correct way. You are missing a lot by not having the spirit, by not seeking the truth. Your understanding is a series of if..else statements. By the spirit, it's different than that. Paul, whom Jesus told Ananias was His chosen vessel to bring the message forth to the Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel (Acts 9:15), goes on to say: 1 Corinthians 10:23 https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%2010:23&version=KJV;NIV KJV -- 23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. NIV -- 23 "I have the right to do anything," you say — but not everything is beneficial. "I have the right to do anything" — but not everything is constructive. Paul also goes on to teach that we are to consider others in our liberty, so that if our eating meat offends a brother in Christ, then we won't eat meat when we're around that person. It's an interwoven relationship, Juha. It's not a series of if..else statements. It's an inner guidance by the Holy Spirit moving you in your spirit to move. -- Rick C. Hodgin |

It's possible that's why we're having world-wide lock-downs right now. No one knows when the rapture will occur, only the season. It would be far more easy for the anti-Christ spirit to explain away small groups of people being "transported away" by the Galactic Federation that we've just been told about, than it would to have entire football stadiums and arenas filled with 10s of thousands of people to have a large percentage to suddenly vanish on camera live on television. In any event, after the Rapture happens, don't listen to the lies the anti-Christ spirit will say about what just happened. It was the Rapture. It was Jesus calling His people to Him in the clouds. It is the beginning of the seven-year great tribulation. And your need to be forgiven by Jesus and saved still remains. -- Rick C. Hodgin |

I've given up on getting string_view back-ported to 2011 C++. And I'm thinking about biting the bullet (again) and requiring 2020 C++ of my users: What I may do is limit my use of 2020 C++ to std::span and then if someone wants to use my software at the 2017 level, they could do so by providing their own std::span implementation. I didn't mention it above, but there's also the Linux/sctp stuff that I've mentioned in other threads. From one of my programs: #ifdef __linux__ #include<linux/sctp.h> #else #include<netinet/sctp.h>
