Why was Lot´s wife turned in salt? I mean, Iknow that she looked back to see the destrution of Sodome, but was salt any kind of valuable thing, was salt relacionated to Sodome or Salt was just some kind of reflexion or leeson?

What do you mean, that the episode´s based on salt formations in the south of the Dead Sea?

She was turned to salt because she was a dumb womyn, these are her remains.

How would he deal with the emerging Chinese threat?
Guys I'm getting egged on by a friend from college for my believes. Every time I try to proof the reality of the Christian faith he comes up with some witty shit about the flying spaghetti monster.
What are good arguments for Christianity that cannot be countered with this bullshit?
>>2748187
kek. bible thumper vs fedora faggot. the cringe is probably is so real when you two argue
>>2748187
there are none. there's just as much proof of the latter as there is for the former. faith is your only tool, and faith cannot convince or prove

Ok, Voltaire, so they weren't Roman or an empire. But they were Christians. Can they keep the phrase "Holy"?

They were incidentally Christian, but it wasn't a theocracy or anything. Request denied.
Well, at least he declared war on Reich ultimately and didn't call Hitler - "Uncle Adi" like some other appeasing cripple with his favorite dictator.
Which cripple are you referring to?

There are WEWUZKANGS people claiming that this coin shows Hannibal Barca. Any truth to that
They're correct. Hannibal's on the right, his slave on the left.

Without any writing how could we know what it portrays?
Does it even mean anything when someone from contemporary times say they are a "Gnostic"?
Didn't all those mystery cults die out long ago? How can you continue that?
Bump for similar question
Also, Demiurge explained too?

>Does it even mean anything when someone from contemporary times say they are a "Gnostic"?
Technically speaking, yes it does mean something.
Functionally though most people I see commenting on Gnosticism apply their own concepts picked up from /fringe/ memes and/or /pol/ and apply them to the wide and diverse array of Gnostic thought and sects.
>Didn't all those mystery cults die out long ago?
Sorta, depends on what you mean and what your litmus for Gnosticism is. On a weak metric everything from the Oriental churches to early modern Antinomian cults are Gnostic, but on a tough metric it did indeed die with the Cathars.
That said we still have the source texts and many groups run with 'em.
>>2748196
Demiurge has a lot of connotations across systems. Some take the Neoplatonic view that he's more or less benevolent. Others take a slightly less optimistic approach and post that he's repentant but incompetent (Valentinians).
Still others think it's what you usually think of; YHVH is actually evil incarnate and wants to trap us in a realm of hellish matter.
So it really depends on the group in question.
I've an extensive Gnostic folder over in the /omg/ library.

You could be. Just marry a princess, then kill everyone ahead of her on the succession line. Then you are a king consort.

>>2747902
I like his stuff
>>2747902
Kind of surreal that he is a descendant of the original Sir Francis Bacon. I thought the name was just a coincidence.

It would be Welsh.
Did ancient people ever uncover dinosaur fossils before the first Megalosaurus and Iguanodon were discovered?
If so, were these the inspiration for stories of dragons found throughout the world?
>>2747767
Men lived with dinosaurs. They just didn't call them dinosaurs because the word dinosaur wasn't coined until the 19th century AD.
They called them dragons, and serpents, and winged serpents, and basically sea monsters.
>>2747767
There is a theory that ice-age era creatures encountered by humans became legendary monsters such as a dragon.
>>2747786
This seems much more likely
Unfortunately OP, it's hard to know anything if at all about the origins of such a thing like dragons
Because it's literally before history.
