Simeon_Stylites who had spent four decades living on a pillar and inspired a bunch of other people to do the same.

> In this last and lofty station, the Syrian Anachoret resisted the heat of thirty summers, and the cold of as many winters. Habit and exercise instructed him to maintain his dangerous situation without fear or giddiness, and successively to assume the different postures of devotion. He sometimes prayed in an erect attitude, with his outstretched arms in the figure of a cross, but his most familiar practice was that of bending his meagre skeleton from the forehead to the feet; and a curious spectator, after numbering twelve hundred and forty-four repetitions, at length desisted from the endless account. The progress of an ulcer in his thigh might shorten, but it could not disturb, this celestial life; and the patient Hermit expired, without descending from his column

best how?
most holy, most knowledgeable...what?

In any case I'm going to have to go with Augustine. Defending Christianity for an entire empire and slamming pagans who would disagree, very impressive.

Jerome is also up there, if only for his incredibly extensive works of history.

Spirit: definition- "the heading that a purpose has"; or said another way- the latent 'metaphysical' direction within the purpose (thus when the doctrinal discussion in the bible starts getting heavy, you can start to relate "spirit of man" = spirit of the vessel (a.k.a the fleshly thought) vs. the "spirit of God"= the spirit of truth, these are generally synonymous in the bible, although they are referred to by different grammar to make the issue being explored more directly accessible: it is my contention that much of the 'literal' inconsistency of the bible is due to lacking proper understanding of what's being communicated, if you are reading an inconsistency, your filter of interpretation is what is generating apparent error, because it stopping you from moving into a deeper consideration of the 'spiritual dynamic' being described, and you've not put in enough work to arrive at the meaning that's worth considering).

(cont.)

God: I often don't focus on this concept too much, especially because its an atheist triggering-word, but its important to note that the bible refers to the word God very-very differently and uses it quite differently also. Sometimes when God is mentioned, the focus is on the understanding of god from a purely philosophical (semi-objective framework, God-the ultimate, in relation to itself), this is kindof important to distinguish between what is being said about the actions of God relative to it-self, and then relative to the subjective perspective of the proper vessel of God (man) renders quite a different confusing account if these matters aren't investigated as separate and but inter-related subjects. It is my contention that properly understood, the word "God" simply means: authority;— the word God is even used in the bible to name the devil (i.e "God of the world"- is the title given to Satan in the scriptures, "god of the world"/"spirit of 'the vessel' (the vessel being "man"/flesh), is the best way to conceive of the deepest and most essential nature of deception), and describes the limited authority that 'the devil' obtains (so already, one should understand the doctrine includes a massive distinction between 'the world' and the 'earth'— which contains important layers of analysis when understanding the relationship between Christ and Christ-consciousness to 'the world', and how the 'world is overcome'; and what the Kingdom of God properly entails: and how little it means to the world in general, and how vastly important to is in the subjective experience).

(cont.)

The major style of contribution in form of parable: parables make an illustration of internal considerations; this is why so many parables are overlooked and sorely misunderstood grievously, because they are 'mined' for literal significance, when its only the composition of the considerations that's being codified. [the woman who feeds the dogs the scraps of food, because the dogs are hungry also... and implicitly a starving dog can also become like a wolf].

If anyone would like to join a discussion group on these and related matters, centering around psychology and philosophy, please join me on: https://discord.gg/NGbusjR The focus is much in vein of Jordan Peterson's discussion with Sam Harris (so atheists welcome), but also the psychological grammar of religious systems, (including alchemy) and other related philosophical matters. I just started this discord server, so I'm hoping it will start up successfully.

Literally where?

Because writing 1976 is a lot easier to write than CLXXVI. Also pic related

>>2851215
Because scientists used it. Traders used it.

Thus general public adopted it.

Scientists of the time learned much of their work from the arabic sources. Traders of the time traded with the middle east.

>outnumbered by the resistance forces in their home countries
Start studding history and seem less movies. SS used to have more french volunteer in one month that the resistance could in the war.

>>2850840

To be fair, the US government made a conscious decision to encourage this kind of thinking. The cold war put the US in kind of an awkward place because it put them heavily at odds with the Soviet Union, who had briefly been considered allies during WW2. In particular, the US wanted to recreate the German army as a bulwark against soviet aggression while at the same time making sure that they didn't retro-actively justify Hitler in any way. The solution? "Clean Wehrmacht." The decision was made to intentionally downplay war crimes committed by the Wehrmacht during the war. In this new narrative, the average Wehrmacht soldier was simply a patriotic individual fighting to defend his country, whereas all the nasty genocide stuff was completely the fault of the SS and Hitler with the Wehrmacht having no knowledge (and thus no responsibility) of such things. Many Wehrmacht commanders who had been convicted of war crimes at Nuremberg where pardoned so that they could help rebuild the German army as a fighting force.

>Certainly there were many volunteers who joined the German effort, but they were only ever a tiny minority and generally outnumbered by the resistance forces in their home countries.
top kek. This meme is pushed a lot by France, Belgium and the Netherlands, who accidently their jews and dindu nuffin. The reality however is quite different

Try making a thread about history instead of memeing about memes with a meme

I'll stop when I've found out about my ancestor's possible history. That joke was funny the last time you posted it, as it was know. I hope you'll be present during my possible next thread, unless I find my catharsis on the subject tonight.

Well, it's hard to envision what a large scale conventional war would look like today, and what circumstances could trigger one, but I imagine it would not be too different from the wars of the twentieth century. The US doctrine of dropping multi million dollar missiles on anything that moves would not be viable against an opponent with comparable resources.

Also, Mad Dog Mattis supposedly served as a tank gunner for a day during the invasion of Iraq if that counts.

when germany surrendered the western front had already broken. should they have waited longer the allies would have begun an invasion of Germany

>>2850520
Because they were getting driven back and their armies were collapsing, they were starving, their situation was hopeless, their allies had collapsed, and when the next campaign happened they'd be fighting through the Rhineland with destruction on their soil instead of on Franco-Belgium soil. The Eternal Teuton is readily willing to dish out destruction to others but is less willing to take damage himself.

Also that line in the south looks sketchy, the front mostly approximated the pre-war border there and the French even had taken some German territory in the southern part of Alsace-Lorraine.

>>2850520
Because the home front collapsed because suprinsgly bombing and torpedoing is less effective than blockading
