@unmind i am being jokey (as is the post i screenshotted), but taking communion unbaptized is extremely frowned upon if your catholic (and in similar traditions). baptism is the ground of the other sacraments, none of the others are thought to work as sacraments or as means of grace without it

the latter is the angels: no one says it's a sin to bite. the former is devils: you cannot be doing that, unbaptized suprsoldiers!!

what makes rabbinic commentators like Rashi so much fun to read, imo, is a deep sense of necessity: that every phrase, every word, every letter is in place for a specific crucial reason if you can only find it out. it's deeply contrary to modern secularism, which focuses above all on what is *not* necessary: manuscript errors, distortions, and historical relativity. it's also something chrisㅤtian inerrantists have never gotten the hang of, in part because of translation—it's hard to cherish every letter when you're not reading the original letters—and in part because of a philosophical prioritization of substance over accidents. because i'm not an inerrantist about scripture, it's not really possible for me to exhibit this attitude, but it's remarkable how much you can do when you combine a love for every letter of scripture with abundant creativity

of course, the difference is that numogrammatics is an esoteric object of study, whereas people like Rashi were commenting on scripture which comprised and still comprises the life of a people. as such, the necessity involved in scripture can be translated into a necessary life, a life which is not arbitrary, which is soaked with meaning in all of its practices—to live by a set of laws which are not fallen. the ability to believe that requires something more than an act of faith: it requires a charism given to a whole community, a power to abolish the arbitrariness of human life altogether. that's the great benefit of nomos, of the law

i do feel like i can relate to it though, bc this was what made me fall in love with the numogram. numogrammatics has clear standards of consistency and accuracy, such that you *can* derive unlimited implexes which you *can* consider inerrant. if you're invested in the constituent processes—in patience, activity, and subtlety—you can spend as much time as you like reveling in every necessary jot and tittle
