@dan@RevEricBurrowsStone Hell in the Bible is the place of the dead. The grave, sometimes called Hades. It doesn't mean the Dante idea of endless punishment.
@ossobuffo@dan@RevEricBurrowsStone In this context, "hell" isn't a moral or spiritual judgment. The righteous are in the grave just as everyone else is, and Jesus visits with them because he goes to the place of the dead just as we do.
One of these is the Wikipedia main menu. The other is the Atlassian main menu. The Wikipedia main menu button is called a "Hamburger Button". What shall we call Atlassian's? The "Sloppy Hamburger Button"?
What would you call a Christmas Eve service that alternates between reading selections from the Christmas story and communal singing of hymns? (One song per reading.) What name would you give that format?
Are hand blow dryers really more efficient? I'm sure it's not really comparable, but I always ask how many paper towels one would have to burn to produce this much heat and air movement. #green#ecological
@youronlyone The first time I heard "sus" was in connection with the game Among Us. "I suspect" a certain character. I also hear it used to express dismissal due to suspicion.
I think MacDonald sees hell as a process, not as a destination.
What if God saw sin less as actions we do that offend him because he has high standards, and more as an affliction that ruins our lives that he wants us to be free from? Have you ever known a sin like that, something you knew was bad for you and for others that seemed beyond your power (or theirs) to overcome?
God might use any means necessary, even very unpleasant ones, to remove and even destroy sin and its hold on us.
If we trust God, that sounds like salvation.
If we cling tight to the sin, preferring it to God, that might feel like torment.
Either way, God will have his way. Much better to agree with him from the start.
Why is printing out web pages still so insufferable? Yes, I know, web pages weren't designed to be printed. Yet, there must be some way for browsers to offer better formatting options.
A gigantic intro image makes sense on the webpage, but not on the printed page. I should be able to embiggen or shrink text in the print preview view, much as I do when viewing on-screen. But we can't even get browser printing to stop splitting lines (top half on one page and bottom half on the next). There must be a better way.
