Id wager to you that the tax collector was of lower rank then the fisherman @Japheth to just the average villager
at the time
jesus took them both of course and cleansed their spirit
no the tax collector, which itnerestingly Matthew if i remember correctly was one, would be higher ranked in teh world, they'd have a better profession, be closer to the seats of worldly power, etc.
Idk i think i remember it saying in the bible that the tax collector was one of the most disliked. wonder if i can find the verse. i might be mistaken
oh yea tax colelctors are always hated in history, but they stil lrank in the world
The tax collector was of higher rank to the Pharisees for example. Because he collected their money.
i mean shit politicians are the same
To me personally, all things go into a persons rank in my eyes.
Like I said the 3 dimensions. Body, mind, and spirit.
But to others not so much.
well no in their time the Pharisees and Sadducees would be actually be the highest worldly authority in Judeaea, only the puppetk ing Herod and the Roman officials are higher, which gets itneresting in the curcifixion of Jesus as the jewish priests defer to first pupept Herod and then to Pilate, even screaming out that they have no king but Caesar
Mmm hmmm. Yes obsessed with the physical world.
Blinded to the spiritual.
This is all getting really complicated. Have you guys thought of writing a book about this?
well partly that, but also in a itneresting way fulfilling the prophecies and also if youthink about it because they deferred their authority to Pilate and Pilate named Jesus as King of the Jews, that means they themselves did also
which really makes sense of why they began freaking the hell out on Pilate for writing King of the Jews on the cross
no need Napoleon, the books written long before us
it's a good question for this week, Jesse got a real interesting question, very dynamic and layered, excellent question of the week, one of the best he has positted
well in terms of it and the Bible it's very good question

Yeah because the more you care about rank the more ego centered you probably are
lol commies aren't the lowest human rank, but they're pretty low, unelss they're the dictator lol
> lol commies aren't the lowest human rank, but they're pretty low, unelss they're the dictator lol
@Japheth
i think we are conceiving of "human" with a different definition
maybe
i am thinking human is worldly
Yeah to me a human is not just worldly.
so the communist dictator is still not of high human rank
albeit in the physical world he may think he is.

Get out your scrying orbs, it's time to complicate things
yea there's two kingdoms really, kingdom of the world/babylon/satan and kingdom of God. They're pretty much ivnerted from eachother
mm hmm indeed
Hmm well idk. I think God is in the world, in various ways right?
I think of our world as like the spot in the middle. but maybe there is scripture correcting that thought.
yea but he world knows him not and rejects him, but that's okay for he has overcoem the world and will destroy it
But I see evidence of God in the beauty of a landscape
He is there to me
but yk maybe im being a bit too... idk... woo woo with it 😅
