A list of interesting people someone compiled to look into.
12/29/2024 At church the topic of Jesus' death at 3pm came up as in interesting topic to what is called the Witching Hour, which is at 3am, as it was supposed by witchcraft to be when the devil was most "powerful" in inversion to Christ's hour.
A small one I started a few months ago, using some TEMU products. 2 x roughly 6 - 7 inches cubes and a usb LED light. Some TEMU's aquarium mini-products failed (the pumps, etc.)
Now, I have from Petco a blue male veiltail betta fish (about two have died prior) which survived our recent two week Eurotrip. And a neon tetra (had 4 before, all died out, along with some shrimps). I have a bendable moss in the betta tank. The other tank I used for filtration, so I will have more plants in that other one. Currently has two (from Petco): small Anubias Nana, Java Fern "Windelov".
So I currently run the two tanks on a timer for light and a mini water pump to circulate water between the tanks. I just bought a 50W water heater yesterday from Petco.
12/21/2024 获罪于天，无所祷也 出自《论语》八佾篇: 意思是一个人如果得罪了上天，他就没有什么地方可去祷告了
12/19/2024 Martial art expert 孙禄堂 is known for mastering all three internal art (内拳) and wrote each a book. I have downloaded all three (八卦，太極，形意) in PDF into my digital library from Scribd. Two of which are also translated by Franklin Fick and can be purchased on Amazon Kindle for $8 each. I don't know how reliable is the translation so I'm not looking into them for now.
12/14/2024 So we got an email about our church sprinkler system failure causing us not able to worship tomorrow at Grace. So Nadia and I decided to visit the church which U has been moonlighting at. Millington Baptist Church. I have my list of churches to visit, MBC and PCA's Crossroads Community Church are on top of my list because they are being mentioned most during my time at Grace. I had briefly checked MBC's website before and was impressed by some of their programs, such as Behind the Pulpit podcast, which is supposed to be a chat about the sermon that was just preached. The idea was my praise, but I cannot value the content because I haven't gone through them comprehensively yet. But now, reading their statement of faith, I caught some error: #5 "Satan is the author of sin", if I understand what they're implying, then I would not agree. Everyone of us is the author of sin, not just Satan. They probably got this off of John 8:44 "father of lies" or that it was Satan who beguiled Adam and Eve, which are inadequate for this conclusion.
12/10/2024 Dr. Tong criticized 周神助牧师 of twisting the verse: 1 Corinthians 14:15 - "pray with the spirit and also pray with the understanding. 我要用灵祷告，也要用理智祷告." or 用悟性祷告. The Charismatics twisted this verse to be all should speak in tongue. Tong had them hosted a debate on this during the 4th 华富大会。I have just ordered this meeting for $22.
12/09/2024 Dr. Ed Feser's method to bully is to bully back. This Catholic way is not biblical. Jesus doesn't care if someone's a bully or not, He rebuked Peter harshly, He cleansed the temple with wrath, He ignored the high priests and Pilate.
The above list was from the Youtube video above.
Obsession with something, usually morality, religion. The fundamentalists are scrupulous in obeying God, I believe. Such as a the Pharisees. Faithfulness is key, not scrupulous obedience, which is like mere loyalty.
