Is there free will in heaven? Or are we just robots that endlessly praise God, with the capacity to sin removed. If all sins are removed in heaven is it impossible for us to feel certain emotions or enact specific things?
If God wants us to have free will on Earth why wouldn't he want it in heaven?
I think in heaven free will is abolished. It is replaced with a mystical vision of God.
God is benevolent so he wants us to be happy. What would make us happier than a beatific vision of His Glory?
"They shall be as the angels in heaven."
"That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven."
Why would God want free will on earth? So that the creation would be more righteous. A human with free will and chooses to be good is more righteous than an angel who has no capacity to choose.
Because the purpose of free will in Christianity is just to test your resolve and love for God. It's just a tool to see if you willingly will love god or choose to sin.
Free will has no purpose in heaven as you no longer need to be tested.

Startlingly accurate in the essence of his predictions.
Why exactly did they rush to war with the Soviet Union? After France fell, the Nazis were in a very comfortable situation. The Hitler-Stalin-Pact stabilised the eastern front. Formally they were only at war against the UK. So why not fully concentrate on them? They could have used their excellent relations to muslim leaders to conquer the middle east, then they would have more than enough oil for the Wehrmacht. Then they could strengthen their Navy and combine it with Italy's to isolate the english isles from any trade while simultaneously bombing english cities. How long until the english would have capitulated? Not very long, probably. Then, after the british are defeated, the Nazis could have fully concentrate on the Soviet Union and strike them with full force.

Russkies were acting suspicious with their intelligence and deployment of military units. Here's what they did with the divisions that were deployed in the Finnish front, the idea is that the Soviets would've attacked Germany if they got "bogged down the Maginot line"
>Starting in April, 37 of these divisions and 1 tank brigade were transferred as follows: 2 divisions to the Odessa District, 15 divisions (including 2 cavalry divisions) to the Kiev Special District, and 20 divisions (including 2 motorized cavalry divisions) and the 1 tank brigade to the Belorussian (Western) Special District. Another tank brigade returned to the Moscow Military district, together with 2 divisions, and 1 division each was transferred to Siberia and the Transcaucasus. The remaining formations which had participated in the war against Finland either stayed in the Leningrad Military District or were disbanded. Of those divisions which were transferred to western districts, around 30 arrived before June 1940, while the remaining 7-8 arrived in July and August.
Soviets also had an incomplete 1940 plan:
>The principal variant of the September 1940 plan envisioned the main attack south of Brest-Litovsk, but, depending on the situation, allowed for a main attack by the northern grouping of Soviet forces to capture East Prussia. Under peacetime conditions it was considered necessary 'to have both variants worked out'.
Also exaggeration of German units near the border
>To justify the concentration of its own forces, the Soviet command, unintentionally or deliberately, exaggerated Wehrmacht forces. In a 5 May 1941 meeting of the General Staff's Intelligence Directorate, the grouping of German forces against the USSR was estimated as between 103 and 107 divisions, including 12 tank divisions, 7 motorized divisions, and 1 cavalry division
>In reality, by the beginning of May the Wehrmacht had only 45 divisions, including 2 tank divisions and 1 cavalry division, against the USSR.

could you cite your sources?
Hello /his/, i just finished reading about the Greeks and their history and i noticed how Albanians popped in and out in the books
around the byzantine period which interested me in them.
Can anyone recommend me any books/authors about the Illyrians/Albanians and how they came to be?
I am primarily interested in their flag and their language.
Please don't try to bring politics or religion in this thread , this thread is purely for a historical understanding.
>>3005981
their flag is from scanderbeg, a christian lord who rallied the albanians and rebelled against the turks, he used the flag(probably representing the roman/byzantine empire?) and later in the 19th century the albanians adopted it to represent them after the ottoman empire was falling appart
>>3006032
where can i read about this.
Thanks
>>3005981
I mean the wiki article seems pretty good: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_of_the_Albanians
Also I doubt you will find a lot of books in English on Albania in the Middle Ages/late Antiquity.
See:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_of_the_Albanians#Sources
Also keep in mind that ethnic identities are constructions despite what /pol/ tells you.

Was he a good leader or a Fascist stooge?
He wasn't much of a fan of Hitler and even dared to be rude towards him when he was visiting by lighting a cigar. Did what he had to since almost all others were useless help against soviets.
>Fascist stooge
Do you even know anything about him?
He was a good leader and he didn't have anything to do with fascism, he simply ''allied'' with Germans in order to fight off Soviets. It succeeded.
He was also completely right about wanting to fuck up Bolsheviks early on during Russian Civil War, but politicians cock-blocked him.

Supposedly that last one, anyway. I might have missed one of the main ones there. The argument of might makes right/they are less intelligent, therefore we can do what we will is weak as shit because nearly nobody would ever use that same line of logic or openly accept its use as applied to children and/or severely developmentally/cognitively challenge/mentally retarded people with IQs lower than that of animals we humans eat.
Also, sillily fantastical as it may seem, almost nobody would still agree with that sentiment if ever/whenever extraterrestrials were to try colonising Earth and deciding to enslave and/or eat people. Nobody would stand there and say "You know what, I don't want to be your slave/food, but we've always eaten the other creatures on this planet 'cause they're beneath is intellectually, so I admit that you've the right to do whatever you wish with us." or something along those lines.
Follow that reasoning and see them cognitively contort themselves to justify some exceptionalism that benefits a non-human animal in any scenario. Logical consistency is not something most people value in any way. Learnt that long ago. It is what it is.
Russians used large amounts of audio psychological warfare during the battle of Stalingrad.
>Doing the math, if a song is roughly four minutes, it will play 15 times in an hour, 360 times in a day, 2,520 times in a week – or 58,680 during the 163-day Battle of Stalingrad.
What song would be your tune to play?
Also was the battle of Stalin grad actually the turning point it's been made out to be ?

Why are the Rothschild family/dynasty hidden in history despite playing a major role since the days of Napoleon?
Yes, every rumor and whisper you've heard about the reach of the Rothschild's tentacles is true.
They actually allied with Napoleon and funded him.
Modern day Rothschilds ay be NWO conspiratorial kikes, but back in the day they understood that the common enemy of humanity was the eternal anglo and only based Nappy could rule over Europe.
>>3005644
They funded not just Napoleon, but they funded the opposing sides of the war as well.
Why are they so based?
Why are their positions within their respective religious spheres so similar?
Why are they so noticeably kind?

Which emperor do you feel sorry for the most? In a "I am disappoint" sort of way?
1. Marcus Aurelius for knowing that Commodus would rule when he died?
2. Septimius Severus for knowing that he had two shitbags that would rule when he died?
3. Diocletian for watching his precious tetrarchy blow up in front of his face because he listened to Galerius?
4. Heraclius for winning back the Syria, Egypt, Palestine, Mesopotamia, only to watch Rome get BTFO by the arabs
5. Basil because he died knowing that his successors would be a shit
6. Constantine XI for being the last Roman Emperor
If we're talking son, I'm disappoint, then I gotta go with Constans II for getting involved with the Monothelitism debates, despite originally setting out to do the exact opposite of it.

Why are we still using technology that was basically made in the 1960s and before? What happened between 1970 - present?

>>3005537
I swear I remember some guy who was convinced that technological progress ended in the 1960s before in some other thread.
>>3005521
everything we had in the '60's we now have better versions of. Plus a bunch of cool new stuff.
If you own a smartphone you have more computing power in your hand than all of NASA had in 1969. An more than the total global computing power of 1960.
A jet engine today weighs less, consumes less fuel, has more power output, lasts longer and requiers less maintenance than an engine from the '60's
I could go on but the list is near endless.
Why haven't North Korea and Cuba followed China, Vietnam, and Laos in ditching planned economies for state capitalism? It seems like an evidence-based no-brainer at this point, right?
>>3005196
Those countries switched because of capitalist roaders. NK and Cuba execute their capitalist roaders.
>>3005196
Basically because the DPRK leadership doesn't want to cede control. You might say it's not working, but it's sure as shit sweet to be DPRK ruling class.
NK is literally fine
quit wanting to change things just becuz you cant control them
cuba though lol
