Life has been ugly lately. It's been so hard, so exhausting, so stressful. I know you are aching to see again something beautiful.
So please, take a minute to look in the mirror.
You'll find what you're looking for there.

@HarleyShah I mean I think you're both right... It is true children have far more bitterness receptors in their mouth than adults do. It is also true that you can make veg more interesting and palatable. But it doesn't always work. No matter how much you bury them the kids can pick them out.
English
I don't buy the claim that children just don't like vegetables and they only like sweet or fatty things. They will eat them if they are prepared in a tasty way. Your children don't like the veg you cook because it's boiled water flavoured
Sama Hoole@SamaHoole
Children instinctively reject vegetables. This isn't "picky eating." It's toxin detection. Young children: - Refuse bitter foods (bitterness signals plant toxins) - Prefer sweet foods (quick energy, historically rare) - Prefer fatty foods (calorie-dense, building blocks) - Refuse vegetables unless masked with fat/salt/sugar Parents have to: - Hide vegetables in other foods - Bribe children to eat them - Force compliance with "three more bites" - Cover them in cheese or butter to make them palatable No parent forces children to eat bacon. No child needs bribes to eat butter. Kids don't reject meat and fat. They request it. Because instincts evolved over millions of years recognise optimal nutrition. Then we override those instincts with agricultural propaganda. "Eat your vegetables" is cultural programming, not biological wisdom. Children are detecting plant defense chemicals their bodies know to avoid. We call it picky eating. It's actually intelligent eating.

@Jolz_Aust @jakecmelik Maybe look into Universal Reconciliation (UR) theology? It has a very different view of hell. My general understanding is that if it doesn't look loving, it's likely a distorted interpretation. God is Love, anything that veers from that cannot be the full picture.
English
@jakecmelik I understand hell is a state rather than a place. But the threat of being cut off from God for all eternity is not always in proportion to the sin.

@blessedmikko @OrthodoxPiccolo @TheOrthoEnsign I think a lot of time the disagreement comes down to misunderstandings like that. People are acting on different interpretations of the same notion and arguing over eachother's heads.
English
@OrthodoxPiccolo @TheOrthoEnsign Well, what definition are we running off of, so there is no confusion here?

I’m not even halfway done reading On The Incarnation and it is a nuclear bomb against Protestantism. I’ll note some highlights based on what I’ve read so far.
1)Disproves PSA without even trying
2)Clearly differentiated essence from act
3)Proved the perpetual virginity of Mary
4)debunks “Constantine destroyed the church”
There’s much more, but it’s amazing that I’m not even halfway in and finding all this.

@Orctep @JohnWayneUtley @trad_west_ You're being very legalistic. Turning the other cheek does not preclude the right to ask questions.
English
@JohnWayneUtley @trad_west_ When jesus was slapped by the roman soldier, did he turn his other cheek? Or did he ask the roman soldier Why he slapped him?
English
"Turning the other cheek" isn't about submission. It is an act of defiance.
Modern society interprets Christ's command as a call to be a doormat, to be passive, weak, and defenseless.
In 1st Century Judea, the left hand was considered unclean. You would never use it to strike someone. Therefore, to slap someone on the right cheek (as Jesus specifies), you had to use the back of your right hand.
A backhand slap was an act of insult. It was how a superior hit an inferior. It said, "You are beneath me."
By turning your head and offering the left cheek, you physically prevent them from backhanding you again. You force the aggressor to use their open palm or a fist.
Why does this matter? Because a fist is how you hit an equal.
Jesus wasn't telling his followers to cower. He was telling them to stand their ground, look their oppressor in the eye, and say without words: "I am not your slave. I am a man. If you are going to hit me, treat me like one."
It is not an act of cowardice. It is an assertion of dignity that requires terrifying courage.
English
@RichardSouthco2 @trad_west_ He also said "put the sword away, those who live by the sword die by the sword". He said God's own angels would defend him if it was His will. He told the disciples to shake the dust from their shoes and leave. We can go out with the same attitude, trust in God, no need to fight.
English
@trad_west_ The boom generation was so successfully brainwashed. What does Christ say? He says "I did not come to bring peace, but a sword."
English
@mattinsonie @CF_Farrow It is very unfair that you have to fight for yourself when you are sick. Instead of getting help you are fighting a battle. It's hard work being ill isn't it? It shouldn't be this way. I hope you are fully recovered.

@CF_Farrow Emailed the Practice manager to complain. Got a phone call apologising and offering me a next day appointment

So my mum is having a huge life-saving op today.
She had been feeling awful for days and was misdiagnosed with a strep throat.
When she tried to see the GP to say the antibiotics weren't working, she was denied by the receptionist.
Why are they medically gate keeping?
English
@Derinda123 @CF_Farrow I pray God gives him healing, what an awful betrayal. When the NHS doesn't work it feels so unjust. We have been brought up to believe it will be there for us.
English
@CF_Farrow My father is also in hospital. He had been telling his GP for weeks, and the urologist, that he was having trouble urinating. He ended up in A&E with 3000+ml in his bladder. (It should be around 150ml) His kidneys are now damaged, unsurprisingly.

The flower blooms,
And the moon rises,
But without a friend to share a drink with,
How could one forget even a hundred years of pain?

There's no fear in love. Perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment, but this is love: not that we love God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to cover our mistakes. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.
English
@BobDoll69 @CivReborn @LuckyDuck2121 @SpookyJon51681 @DahliaKurtz I have a similar upbringing because I was raised in the Christian faith. I rejected it for a long time and hated God because of a lot of these kinds of doctrines that @CivReborn is talking about. Then I met God face to face, and it changed my entire world. He is real. He is Love.
English
@CivReborn @ZAmmi @LuckyDuck2121 @SpookyJon51681 @DahliaKurtz Well I hope you find your way back man. I was an atheist to for years. By the age of 30, I found God. We find God in the darkest places, and I can assure you, i think it’s the truth. If you live long enough, you will be Christ pilled.
English
I just applauded a Christian man for reciting the Lord's Prayer on a megaphone whilst Muslims performed public "prayer."
Someone took issue with me praising a Christian because I'm Jewish.
Deal with it. I will always support my Christian brothers and sisters. Thankyouverymuch.
English
@CivReborn @LuckyDuck2121 @SpookyJon51681 @DahliaKurtz I'm sorry it took me so long to reply I have not logged in for a while. I'm an outlier, in that I don't believe that the Bible teaches that people who don't believe in Jesus will automatically go to hell. I am a Christian universalist, I believe that best represents scripture.
English
@ZAmmi @LuckyDuck2121 @SpookyJon51681 @DahliaKurtz Recently it became clear that many don't know that most Christians believe that the only true religion is Christianity and that it is the only way to escape eternal damnation.

@alaamohame90691 @SpookyJon51681 @DahliaKurtz Stuff and nonsense. The talmud is not a text that Jews are required to "believe". Otherwise you'd be expecting them to believe simultaneously that the Sabbath blessing should be recited before the wine blessing, AND that the wine blessing should be before the Sabbath blessing.
English
@SpookyJon51681 @DahliaKurtz Do you think that a Christian is naive? He knows that you hate anyone who is not Jewish. This is from your Talmud. If you do not do this, then you are not Jewish. Do not pretend to people, because you will be exposed.
English
@idgaf544955 @SpookyJon51681 @DahliaKurtz You misunderstand what the talmud is. The talmud is a record of debates and varieties of opinion. You can't agree with the talmud as a whole as you would have to hold multiple diametrically opposed opinions simultaneously. Also, nobody's entirely sure if it mentions Jesus at all
English
@SpookyJon51681 @DahliaKurtz Now tell the Christians about the Talmud and what you think of Jesus.
English
@CivReborn @LuckyDuck2121 @SpookyJon51681 @DahliaKurtz I really don't know what to say to that except that I think it's worth bearing in mind WHAT God is in a Christian worldview. God is love. When you turn towards love you are turning towards God, when you turn away from love you are turning away from God. Where then do you turn?

@jeffthoimo @NathanJRobinson I don't know either. I've seen photos from Sudan with wide shots of dozens of children in a malnourished state sitting together, but photos from Gaza usually only shows one child up close. I would hope that means the situation in Gaza isn't as bad as people fear.
English
@NathanJRobinson Why is it the photos and evidence we see are these preexisting condition kids? There should be thousands of pics of all the famine, right? Not trying to be a jerk I’m legitimately confused
English
Drop Site News has now exposed the reporting of Bari Weiss’s Free Press as a FRAUD. FP claimed starving children in Gaza actually looked sick because of prior health conditions. Drop Site tracked down families who gave before and after photos that show Bari was lying.
English
@Hexagram012 @NathanJRobinson Even so, and I concede your point, it's still tragic that due to the situation they couldn't access anything without gluten. I hate seeing preventable suffering, even if it was a minority of cases. War always causes the most vulnerable to suffer most.
English
No. That's a barefaced lie. You fanatical propagandist. She had celiac disease (which causes malnutrition). It's amazing how in a place of 2 million people ravished by "famine" and brimming with 1.5 million iphones, you can't find any actual cases of famine.

@Hertsnik @Geraldi31348001 @IainDale But religious groups that believe in that anti-feminism stuff do not believe that women should lead. In fact that's one of the Central tenets. So the very fact that they have a woman leading them shows that they do not believe such things.
English

English
@CivReborn @SpookyJon51681 @DahliaKurtz So what if they do? Are you an atheist? Then you believe that when they die they are snuffed out of existence. Does that mean Jews shouldn't like you either? Should they dislike Hindus for believing you could be reincarnated as sick because of bad karma, or an insect?
English
@SpookyJon51681 @DahliaKurtz Christians believe that you are going to spend eternity burning in hell.
Ask them, they'll tell you.

@Geraldi31348001 @Hertsnik @IainDale I mean, literally the person shouting instructions in the video is a woman, so somehow I doubt it.
