My favorite book of Tanakh is the Book of Exodus and the Book of Psalms
Monism or dualism, what's the opinions here
<@&588707615643795456> Daily Question 🔖
- What defines a good leader/ruler biblically?
read proverbs
or look into King Solomon the wise
Proverbs 29:16
**Proverbs 29:16 - Good News Translation (GNT)**
```Dust
<16> When evil people are in power, crime increases. But the righteous will live to see the downfall of such people. ```
Proverbs 29:7
**Proverbs 29:7 - Good News Translation (GNT)**
```Dust
<7> A good person knows the rights of the poor, but wicked people cannot understand such things. ```
Proverbs 29:4
Proverbs 28:1
**Proverbs 29:4 - Good News Translation (GNT)**
```Dust
<4> When the king is concerned with justice, the nation will be strong, but when he is only concerned with money, he will ruin his country. ```
**Proverbs 28:1 - King James Version (KJV)**
```Dust
<1> The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion. ```
Proverbs 28:16
**Proverbs 28:16 - Good News Translation (GNT)**
```Dust
<16> A ruler without good sense will be a cruel tyrant. One who hates dishonesty will rule a long time. ```
A good ruler submits himself to God and is obedient to Him, as he expects obedience from others. The ruler should always keep John 19:11 in mind also.
The others correctly point to Proverbs too, for a good example of a just and wise ruler.
**John 19:11 - English Standard Version (ESV)**
```Dust
<11> Jesus answered him, "You would have no authority over me at all unless it had been given you from above. Therefore he who delivered me over to you has the greater sin."```
The ruler should aim to be wise, just, compassionate, merciful where he *should* be and harsh where he *must* be.
He should practice good stewardship and not become prodigal or decadent, and seek the wisdom and goodness of God at all times.
@Simmons ☧ Prove God
Thomas Aquinas’ *Prima Via: The Argument of the Unmoved Mover*, which is affirmed in conjunction with Isaac Newton’s later development of the first law of motion.
Based
lol what
UGGGGHHH not this again
ive literally heard that one like 100 times
@Riley when I told you it you never debunked it, you said you thought cosmological meant aerospace science, which is funny
Yes, that's what cosmology means
Does not change that cosmological arguments are not aerospace science
Addie knows that the argument I’ve made was a cosmological one, and has heard it before. I guess this means it’s auto debunked and requires no additional discussion.
Implying he knows what cosmological arguments are
Or that there are over 40 popular cosmological arguments
I suppose this means I can shrug off the thousands of atheist talking points I’ve heard and used to make myself when I was one, because I know what they are and have heard them before.
Facts
Speaking of facts, the Big Bang theory as mentioned in the above definition was first devised by a priest.
This is true
Everyone knows this
or should know that
@Simmons ☧ why do you guys insist on reminding me of that lol
yea ik who theorized it
so what
Because your statements that religion is against science is foolish
