It didn’t benefit the game. But at least in MegaMan X the Hadouken upgrade could make it trivial and a little funny.
But 100% agree. Same with RPGs too, frankly. Spamming boss level fights to stretch the final act out to indie game length is exhausting.

And if one follows that passage in Acts and the presented timeline, the Corinthians passage would be _after_ James’ proclamation, which itself feels suspect after Peter’s vision in chapter 10.
But no, that’s too complex a conversation. Fear will keep you safe, surely! *sigh*

Oh absolutely it is. It just upsets me that people will take the fearful interpretation and run with it. Especially when a closer reading can reveal some encouraging things, like maybe the Apostles struggled to understand too! Despite having met Jesus and participated in his ministry.

Effect if the Christian in question did not believe that god capable of contesting against God?
It baffles me how many Christians live a life of total fear when that isn’t the Gospel message at all.

What cracks me up about this, personally, is that Paul of all people addressed this pretty thoroughly by saying “it doesn’t matter unless you think it matters!”
Like, as Christians, we believe God is in charge of everything. How then would eating food blessed in the name of a lesser god have any

They look lovely!
You may want to see if you can tweak your checkout settings (or talk to whoever is handling that). I thought about preordering both the standard and collectors editions but adding either one to the cart removed the other because preorders have to be separate.

"Jesus wanted Rome to mint Roman coins for the benefit of all" What is this if not engaging with the tools of Empire?

Debt Jubilee is a FANTASTIC idea. I have logistical concerns, but that is another conversation.
The idea that Jesus wanted to engage with the tools of Empire and that is why he overturned the tables of the money changers? That is the idea I am addressing. Please do not put words in my mouth.

Your source is "It makes sense to me and I believe the Bible is toned down from what actually happened but there is zero historical proof for this thesis"?
That position cannot be falsified, which means can't be proven either.
There are lots of ideas in the Bible worth promoting. This is not one.

At least he spelled sex phonetically rather than "seggs". That one makes my eye twitch every time I see it...

I'm perfectly happy to have my understanding and interpretation of scripture challenged and updated. But uh... any source for this? Jesus is never recorded as commenting on Roman matters except when asked directly.

This is a blindspot for me, as the left behind nonsense always scared the wits out of me as a kid and my theology professors discarded it from theological aspects without delving into specifics. But uh, what the eff...?
Thanks for helping to make people more aware so we can learn.

I noticed this too, with a headline about his speech at the funeral that opened "Trump, 79, ..." and I thought that seemed a little different from the usual.

Vector graphics are evil until you go to print a logo on a business card, a T-Shirt, and a billboard. Then you realize they front loaded the evil that raster graphics backload.
Good luck on your learning!

wtf? Either the budget on that is going to be terribly expensive per episode or they’ll make so many changes it should be “inspired by”.
Also yes. I expect the fans to be totally _normal_ about this (they will not be normal).
Also they need to axe Minoru and never apologize.
So many questions.

There are already 2 versions. This would make 3. Part of me wonders if Audible had seen sales drop off a cliff, due to both time and *waves hands* Rowling, and they want something new to coincide with the HBO series.

It’s been the only section of the game that I have not enjoyed at all. Doesn’t help it also has a variety of enemies that just wreck me due to their movement patterns. But I got through it.
