The trinity is in the Bible. Not the word "trinity", but our understanding of it comes purely from the Bible. Which is why even most SDAs agree with it. Real presence (part of the doctrine of transubstantiation) and miracles are also biblical. The New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures and the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants and the Pearl of Great Price aren't biblical. Just like how the Qur'an isn't biblical.

Muslim means "one who submits", so I could identify as a muslim even though I don't even adhere to Islam- it doesn't make me Muslim.

Mormons and JWs are not Christian. The only ones who call Mormons and JWs Christian are themselves. Mormons and JWs are as Christian as the Chinese Communist Party is Communist. Even the Catholics agree that many Protestants are Christian but just in "imperfect communion" with them.

There are some fringe extreme SDAs who reject Christian doctrine, but most are Christian. Although I have sort of seen them grouped into the "borderline heretical" category.

JWs have their own "translation" of the Bible to fit their doctrine which basically every scholar rejects. Mormons have their third testament from a prophet- and is actually similar to Islam if you think about the circumstances (Prophet comes along hundreds of years later, claims Christians were doing it wrong and that he has an authoritative revelation, uses it to justify polygamy and political power, etc)

Protestant Christians do have varying interpretations of the Bible, but all agree on the Trinity, Biblical canon (which was the same as what the Catholics used before the council of Trent) and the core Gospel message which makes up 95% of things.

The reformers did not rewrite the Bible.

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 1 points 4 days ago

The protestant reformation didn't do that. In fact, it was the opposite. It was based on the Bible over everything and shedding the idea of a pope who can claim "the rules are whatever I want them to be personally"

Fair enough. I just don't want to contribute to their self destruction.

Yeah. If you have the time you could perhaps get a gift card which cannot be spent on alcohol, but even then they might sell it. The most you can really do is give them opened food

Eh, it's quite leftist here and VERY atheistic but honestly I've seen more insane takes come out of Reddit. Here there is reason and sense to those takes, as well as substance.

If we're including xmpp and matrix, then we should include Email 🤭

I think recommendation algorithms and advertising are separate things, however think with defaults and when it comes to what specific data is collected, where do you draw the line? Absolutely no recommendations at all based on an algorithm? Would you say using your 'like' history to recommend you more videos is okay? What about watch history, or save history?

Same question can also be asked about where you draw the line on advertising. Just say Youtube showed ads purely based on your video like history, would that be creepy?

I think we can all draw the line at location history, how long you linger on a post, etc. I'd like to know your thoughts on where you'd draw the line for both advertising and content recommendations. (This is two questions)

Sorry that this post is horribly formatted. I'm tired, acoustic and had a shower thought 😝

Apparently the artist is a nazi by the way which I didn't realise when posting this.

I have a raspberry pi running postfix. I Realised unless I open port 25 I absolutely cannot receive emails (I have 587 open and can send but not receive them). However I heard there are scaries online which someone could potentially send emails from your server without consent. I believe as well my ISP doesn't block port 25. Is there anything I should do right now before opening port 25, or should everything be safe enough?

I was looking through the Minecraft wiki and found an old texture for sandstone added in JE 1.2

I thought it looked similar to the Breeze mob which is coming in 1.21

It's likely just a coincidence. But very cool. The texture never made it into the final game unfortunately.
