My lemmy client only shows the comment without context, so unless I have a good memory, etc.

Thought you were talking about in general, my bad

It’s literally recorded in the Torah, which was at least 1000 years before that

here’s a good way of thinking about it

Interesting

And Christianity being a major religion in Europe which teaches a 7 day week, and I believe Islam in the east does the same. China also used the 7 day week at this point, too.

The pearly gates are biblical. I think the keys are taken a bit literally. But that’s interesting to think about, actually

Imagine being sent to hell over a database error

So is “God helps those who help themselves”

Transubstantiation is the doctrine that it ceases being bread and wine. Which St Paul kind of debunks in his first letter to the Corinthians at Chapter 11, where he refers to it as bread.

“For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.”

What you’re talking about is consubstantiation, which is where the body and blood physically coexist in the bread and wine, which can be derived from the Bible.

The Trinity is clearly taught in the Bible. Sure, not in explicit Athanasius creed form, but Jesus even said “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19).

Notice how “Name” is singular, implying the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is one thing, or at least equal. Jesus is referred to as God, the Father, and the Holy Spirit are also. And it’s made clear that there is one God. The Athanasius Creed is just the Trinity clearly defined in a single text. Clarifying interpretation (like the Nicene Creed).

Seven deadly sins are based off of various sins listed in the Bible, but most of it has kind of been overhyped and overemphasized. It’s useful for giving a rough idea of what sin is, but it’s been meddled with over time.

Neither of these mention St Peter at the pearly gates, though. The biggest addition the Apocrypha makes is a record of someone praying for the dead. Protestants generally still do recognise the Apocrypha, but just as historical records and not authoritative, hence not a part of the Bible.

No, not at all. God does the judging.

I don’t think the french calendar would have ever worked, as humans seem to always divide their working into 7 day weeks.

I heard of some kid who made bank setting up a hitman website on the TOR network and accepting payment in Bitcoin. He just handed over the information straight to the police and kept the bitcoin.

You get a contract killer to kill your previous contract killer. Duh.

Americans are weird

Yeah. I think an example also is the UK- It’s quite controversial, but Bobby Sands MP was elected from prison. Many people do see that as a good thing and a good exercise of democracy.
