The article references Aristotle. If we are to devolve into Platonism, let us discuss the roots of the word "information", mind you, much of Socrates' and Plato's thought comes from their excursions to Israel and Babylon as well.

Plato discussed the concept of Forms; conceptualization which ascended basal life.

What is the word "information" other than "the making into Forms" within our imagination (or inner world)? Monad (God) eminates (Logos) and (Sophia) which in turn eminates further forms adding depth to the Pleroma, with (Sophia) running off on her own to create (Yaldabaoth) without her Syzygy....

Headline Hitman

..following up on a post from earlier in the thread.

Reason: Pardon the cringe of posting Bruce..

Absorb what is useful, reject what is useless, add what is essentially your own.” The idea of constantly researching and refining your own experience was key to Bruce Lee's way of life.

Interesting you would bring up Bruce Lee.

Bruce Lee was an astute scholar of Dao-ism, with the concept of the "Dao" literally meaning the "Way", "Be like water", Yin-Yang being just another synonym of Syzygy (the yoking together of two opposing pairs; Jung's Anima and Animus, etc) That said, I would not be surpised to find Sophia in his words.
Interestingly enough, to the Essenians and their evolutionary successors; the Ebionites, the word "Judaism" did not exist prior Christendom; the Essenians and Ebionites merely referred their their system of belief as "the Way".
The label "Judaism", to describe Saduceeism and Phariseeism, was added after Christendom continued forward with the evolution of "the Way" while Talmudism rejected the evolution, in which Christendom then sub-branched into Catholicism (hyLIC Cathodism), and Ebionitism.

The Roman Empire did not see the viability of allowing Ebionitism to continue to exist, and adopted Cathodism as a reinforcing political pillar, while granting special privileges to "Judaism" who helped to subvert the problems Ebionitism caused within the Empire (and this is where Paul comes into play).

This is less historically accurate than Everquest 2.

All Abrahamic religions are historical fiction. Hope that helps.

It's one thing to call someone dumb, but to just take the opposite and equally dumb stance to spite them, what do you call that?

A collection of folk tales and moral code does not make for accurate historical accounting. The fact that it's been edited and redacted and translated countless times further removes it from being historical fact and puts it much closer to fanfic.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaiah_7:14

the "almah" means "young woman" not virgin.

The Septuagint (the seventy) is the only "mostly accurate" representation of the Hebrew Text that predated Christ's entry into the Foray. One of the ONLY TWO points at which the Catholic Church states the LXX (Masoretic Text) is accurate over the Septuagint is in Catholicism's perversion of the word "Almah" to mean; "Virgin" instead of its true meaning "Young Woman" source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaiah_7:14 in the paragraph detailing the Gospel of Matthew. Mind you the Ebionites themselves accepted original Matthew as canonical, and had a number of other "Canonical books" ruthlessly sought out by the Cathodist Empire.

Remember how I said the "on the road to Damascus (QUMRAN) is where Paul was headed to exterminate the Ebionites", where did they find the "Dead Sea Scrolls" which authenticated the Septuagint in quarrels with essentially all Masoretic translations? The caves of Qumran.

2 Esdras, which was official Canon of the pre-Christian Torah, "is reckoned among the apocrypha by Roman Catholics, Protestants, and most Eastern Orthodox Christians." for this exact reason:

2 Esdras 14:4-47
And when the forty days were ended, the Most High spoke to me, saying, “Make public the twenty-fourl books that you wrote first, and let the worthy and the unworthy read them; 46 but keep the seventy that were written last, in order to give them to the wise among your people.

By the way, it's funny to watch Feniin pivot. He is so in love with self-delusion and lies, that he is now pivoting to defend the Catholic Church when 2 hours ago he was railing on all Abrahamic religion.

That's how you know he doesn't stand for anything except lies.

And if you don't stand for anything, you fall for everything.

Lol
