As it were, if one takes an enclosed system of ten,
And creates a fulcrum of two,
There can now be two and six.
Two of said system is not able to be used
But the remaining six can be used
To leverage more force, greater than the original two exerted.
Therefore, I hypothesize that a clean energy source can be made
Using this method.
Someone try doing so...

Mark 13:51Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. 52Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
More Evidence for the Bible; From Quora Comments And Answers
It’s actually pretty clear, by evidence, who wrote the books. Like, we know Moses wrote the Pentateuch, because it has the same structure as Egyptian writing did, back when Moses would have lived. We know Joshua wrote Joshua, because we have direct evidence of things talked about in the book, that we unearthed here recently. So also through the rest of the Bible, it seems to be corroborated by all the evidence, and not dismissed. Meaning the Bible was penned by people from those time periods. And Genesis, too, was penned at those time periods, as it relates to very obscure historical facts, that would be hard to preserve, unless there was a Codex that had preserved them, such as the war between the Elamites and Amorites, and even who the aggressor was in the conflict (Abraham allied with the Amorites, to reconquer Mesopotamia from the Elamites). And that’s probably how we got Genesis, were two Monotheistic traditions, which Moses merged into Genesis, and then continued documenting God’s interaction with His people in Exodus.
So also with the Gospels, Papias knew St. John—actually, John dictated to Papias the Gospel of John—and he told us who wrote Mark and Matthew. And indirect evidence shows this to be very plausible, as scholars will say Matthew was first written in Aramaic, and Papias claims it was first written in “Hebrew” which back then lay Greeks wouldn’t make a distinguishment between the two. Which shows pretty strong evidence of the authorship of those three Gospels. Luke, is probably the most authoritative, because it’s the most devoid of colloquialism, and is rooted in historical principles. People have noted the Gospel of Luke was a Premier Historical Text, just based on all the contemporary details it got right. But, so did the other Gospels, we’re starting to find out, as well.
So, the Bible does not have unknown authorship, but the world cannot understand that. So, even if shown direct proof of the Bible’s Authenticity, as I just did, it cannot know. As God hides it from them

Actually, the Bible predates those manuscripts. You’re talking about sources from Assyrian libraries, that would date to about 800BC. They’re likely inspired by the source Genesis was made from. You got it all backward. The Bible has source material way back further than that, to about 2400BC, maybe earlier.
I mean, you’re really talking about the Epic of Gilgamesh. Which, is nothing like the story of Noah. Not in the slightest. And you’re trying to make a leap of conjecture that the rebuilding of Zion is like the rebuilding of Uruk, but none of the actual hard evidence says that can be possible. That’s all deductions and a priori Biblical criticism not backed by any of the physical evidence, which is a lot supporting the Biblical texts. But, I do think there’s precedent that the stories of Genesis are older than that, considering we have remnants of Adam and Eve in China, and flood myths in the Americas.
Like, rationally, you might say that, until you look at the hard evidence. And it all supports the Bible being written—the form we have it—at about 1300BC, and there’s even more evidence that sources predating that existed, which probably comprised the earliest monotheistic faiths. As is respectively the God of Abraham, Isaac (El) and Jacob (Yahweh). As the Bible has hard evidence establishing it through provenance, of the religion being practiced in Egypt, and even evidence that the Jews were enslaved. And of course the Bible Genesises Abraham from Mesopotamia, where El was worshipped, but is generally the name Abraham probably called God at that early time in history. And Yahweh came from Egypt, as we have direct evidence of that, a semitic language speaking people coming from Egypt who worshipped Him, and were called “Wanderers”.
And really, Jesus is nothing like Isis, Horus and Osiris. I read the Book of the Dead—a schizophrenic mess—and it’s nothing like the story of Christ. That story is a story about the sun rising and setting. Basically, Horus turns into Osiris at about mid day, and then dies, and then resurrects on the horizon. It’s just a silly story, and not based on an actual historical event like the Gospels are.
I can attest, the Bible is 100xs more lucid than anything in Egyptian Mythology.

Like, the Old Kingdom of Egypt didn’t start until 2700BC, which is probably wrong. It’s probably more like 2400BC. There’s probably a Neolithic Egyptian Civilization in the Early Dynastic Period, but that was wiped out around the flood.
There actually was a flood. They didn’t survive. There’s an abrupt gap in all historical civilizations at the time of the Mid 24th Century Anomaly. And looking at Naqadan Pottery, it’s consistent with the universal culture found in the Neolithic Civilization, similar to cave paintings in the Americas, and also art in Europe and China.
It just makes sense. The Mid 24th Century Anomaly seems to have happened in the Mid 24th Century, and there’s a world wide civilization that precedes it, that has its own pantheon and everything, and no trace of it can be found after that date. I mean, there’s a 100 year difference accounted in the Bible, but a little error like that means nothing in the grand scheme of thing. The Physical evidence all proves it. And the Genealogies all line up with it, if you take it back from Persian Restoration, and assume the Judges overlapped.
Actually, the date for the Bible perfectly aligns with the Exodus. Under Amenhotep III they left—we have a lot of documentation this is true—they crossed at Neiwebu Beach, wandered the Desert—the Apiru people—and conquered the Hittite Empire as documented then as the “Sea People” or those who crossed the Red Sea.
***
But the Hyksos are not the Jews. The Sea Peoples and the Apiru peoples are. {...} The Sea Peoples caused the Bronze Age Collapse, and took control of the region. We even have the Merneptah Stele showing Israel was a people in 1200BC. Which if they destroyed "The Last Seed" then there'd be no Israel today.
Maybe Egypt thought they owned control of it, but the Jews maintained their State. We even have more recent evidence, in the Tablet at Mount Ebal.
***
{...} Abraham living in Mesopotamia, and worshipping El, and El having a Son predates (Christianity), too. You know, El, the word for God in the Hebrew Bible? Or, certain Jewish Sects waiting for “God’s Son”.
As Paul said on the Sermon on Mars Hill, “God winked through the Poets.”
Virgil’s Aeneid has a similar moral pattern to Christianity.
It’s not that myths predate it. It’s that the myths have their fulfillment in Christ. Who {...}was a historical man, actually lived, and witnesses actually saw Him raise from the dead. {...}
I mean {...} to go deeper, there’s only ever been two religions. The religion of Sin, and Baal-El, and the religion of Yah, and Christ. All religions are a variation of that, which find their final fulfillment in the revelation of God’s Son unto death, tying up all of true history, and philosophy and science into a package, calling Him the Son of Man. Which if you reject, you reject the truth. As now there’s only one path to salvation, and that’s Jesus Christ. As all truth proceeds from Him, and is established on His word.
{...} I was just reading sources about the Akkadian Empire, and how El meant “Lord” in that empire. From that, it looks like {...} (The Semetic) religions {...} plagiarized the Abrahamic Faith. Not the other way around.
The fact is, Christ was an actual human being, died an actual death, raised, and actual people saw Him after He was crucified. If not, the religion wouldn’t have ballooned to what it did, only 40 years after His death.
(And) what’s written in that book gets dug out of the ground 3000 years later, and exactly corroborates what it says. So, I’d say the book was probably written by the people who saw it, and is itself evidence on its own, being eyewitness reports.
And we know the Gospels were eyewitness reports because Papias tells us who wrote them, and that gets corroborated by independent research done by modern day linguistic scholars.
And eye witnesses are evidence. It’s one of the strongest forms of evidence.
Q is still alive. He is the LORD Jesus Christ, and His Word is still very alive.
The Hard Stuff and the Law
That's not Christians' argument at all (That we need God to know right from wrong). It became Christians' argument, but it's not. Objective morality is self evident. It can exist without God. It's the fact that people don't follow it. That's why there is God. Basically, the Torah is hell. It's what we deserve. I'm sure there's rape and infanticide and something like murder in hell. It's the punishment we deserve for breaking God's law, and dishonoring His commandments. Rather, it's Christ who establishes Grace, and a rest from working to change or fix the world. Rather, we just live according to the Law of Conscience, and are forgiven for our past.
God's objective morality does work. If you wanted to create Utopia, with no suffering, there's your handbook. And look how bloody awful it is? It's why Communism and all that other jazz won't work. The point of the Gospel is to acknowledge there are flaws in the world and yourself, but live the best you can. And to be forgiven of what you failed to do. Obviously, there's a place for war--and even rape, genocide and slavery--in the context of making a perfect world. It's like, the best world possible for humans, would require a tyrant to accomplish. That's why that Law is given into Christ's hands at the end of the age, and He'll punish the nations. Because He's the only one who could do it right, and know who deserves punishment, and who does not. Not us. As, you're right... pertaining to the Old Testament law, it is bloody and immoral, so to try and Crusade for a perfect world without any suffering, it would be fruitless in the hands of a human being. But if you wanted to rid the world of suffering, you'd have to follow the Laws in the Bible. Stone sinners, punish enemies, ravage their women, make slaves. Because that's the kind of force necessary to end the world-systems that enable suffering in the first place. To do so would make you something like Alexander the Great or Genghis Kahn. It's simply not good. That's why the Law is like that.
But we, as Christians, live by the laws of Grace. It's not our job to condemn the world. Merely warn it. It's not our job to punish the nations, but rather call them to repentance, so such force doesn't become necessary. That's why Christ said, "Do not think I came to bring peace. I did not come to bring peace, but rather the sword." That's hard to understand, I know. But, you can't imagine the depths of suffering sin causes, as it naturally reaps those things anyway. War, disease, famine, oppression and pestilence are the natural results of sin; which, in the end, people will be obstinate and hardened in their sins, and continue doing so, despite the suffering it causes. Which will cause Christ to come and judge the world for its sin; and that for the sake of the Elect, so they don't get stuck here, and so the world does not become like hell.
And I'm sure Satan knows this, too, and will seek to bind people to the Old Covenant Laws, and conquest with this in mind. That's the final straw, is when Satan takes the Law into his own hands, and exercises complete and total Lawlessness and absolute Law, in the same power vacuum. Which is why he's evil. Satan will say, "Confess 'me' as LORD, and I will absolve your sins, and you can do all your heart desires whenever you sin... however, if you do not, I will punish you according to the Torah." And he will at once tyrannize and abolish all law whatsoever in the same breath and stroke.
My Education
I never achieved high grades,
Except for Community College.
And only a few years of college.
I got a B in Philosophy, an
A's in a few English Classes

I was hated by my peers and teachers
In High School
But had a good relationship with most of my college professors.

Oh, and I didn't like to do homework, but usually passed my tests.
If I didn't pass my tests, that's usually when I failed the course.
Which happened frequently.
One of the best rhetorical tactics, is to start broad, and then boil the conversation down to one poignant principle or fact.

Some Evidence for Jesus
Why would Abraham want to sacrifice Isaac, if not a picture that God would provide a sacrificial lamb?
Why would Leviticus condone human sacrifice in Leviticus 27:29, when such sacrifice is unlawful? Except in the context that it meant One Devoted to God? That Being Emmanuel?
Why would Nehemiah tell the people to eat fat? From what I understand that's unlawful. Unless, it was to establish that the Jews were in waiting for a New Covenant?
Why would Abraham be told, "Your Seed shall bless all nations?" Who is that Seed? Jacob didn't bless all nations. Rather, it seems quite clear that by Jacob, all the nations of the world were condemned to die.
Why wouldn't "Almah" or "Maid" mean "Virgin"? Don't some words have two meanings? And if they do, wouldn't it make sense that a Virgin give birth to the promised Heir, whose coming would destroy Assyria? Rather than a harlot? I've heard it said that the woman was a harlot, but then that's only if you don't interpret the word "Almah" as "Virgin".
What is the "Newly Created Thing" referred to twice in Isaiah? Why does it tell you to forget the old?
Whose Soul is to be made an offering for our sins?
Who was "pierced for our transgressions?"
Why must we kiss the Pure, the One Begotten by God? My Bible says "Son", but you translate "Bar" as "Pure". So, obviously it makes more sense that the word be translated as "Son". Because a "Son" is Begotten.
Why are there two everlasting covenants? Why did Jeremiah proclaim a new covenant?
Why did Ezekiel say "Arise" to dry bones? If there is not a resurrection?
Why did Zechariah name Jesus as the Messiah twice? As, Uzziah tried to reign as both priest and king, and was stricken with Leprosy. Why is "Joshua" in this instance, allowed to reign as both priest and king?
Why did Job want a mediator between him and God?
Why did Xerxes receive a dream that sounds like God's voice in Herodotus?
Why did the conquering of the Aztecs look exactly like the Prophetic campaign of Joshua? Why did all the same miracles occur? Five hundred Conquistadors would defeat armies upward of five to one hundred thousand without any aid. Plagues descended which did not touch the Conquistadors or most of their armies?
If the Aztec used inferior weapons, and that's why they were severely beaten, why did La Triste Noche happen?
Why, in 1561 in Nuremberg, did two crosses do battle over the eye of the sun, and St. Paul's Cathedral was struck with lightning?

The Most Righteous Generation
They wish not to work, but idly play,
They wish to know not a thing, no way.
They wish to learn what their hearts will seek;
They wish for everyone to have no feasts.
They wish to lust, and fornicate and bray
Like an ass with engorged member in the hay
To enter into the orifices of all,
To feel the sting of pleasure's law.
They wish to take your freedoms and mine
To say that freedom belongs to the kind
Of man or woman or unknown thing
Who wishes to fornicate like a queen or a king.
Opulent masses, and social decay
They decry isn't happening this day, this day.
Do understand, it is our most righteous men
Who this day the Gospel wish to from me rend
And keep buried in my heart, and speak not a word
For they wish my silence to be their curse.
For they see I have done some miserable wrongs
And think themselves worthy for heavenly kingdoms.
Yet, I say, here is a litany against you,
Why hellfire and brimstone shall there so chew
You, gnawing upon your miserable bones
For you chose this world, and not Heaven alone.
Everything Wrong with the World
There is a man just too gitty
For his past exploits---
Though he's made an end of them
The Psychiatrist shrinks back
And makes a fool out of him.
The audience lampoons him
Though he's served his sentence.
There is a boy just too jaded
For he's upset at Santa Clause---
He's done nothing too serious
And the average man would call him good;
Though, this author lampoons him
Because he's ungrateful for the good
His country has bestowed upon him.
We think a man who's done wrong is always going to be crooked;
And we think because we have no sin, we can therefore deceive ourselves.
On Christmas and Easter and Other American Holidays
My brethren, understand that Christmas is a Christian holiday, and genetic fallacies don’t matter. I have read the Bible, and have taken explicit care to read Paul, who spent the entirety of his mission dispelling the kind of nonsense predominant among believers today, who wish to yoke themselves back to Judaism. It’s not productive, and is counter the will of God. What does it harm a man or child to celebrate Christmas? Nothing. What does it harm to fight against it? It helps suppress Christ and the truth, and makes the unbeliever resentful.
We’re also forbidden from observing the Law. We don’t have to anymore. We’re under a New Priesthood of Faith and not Works of the Law. So you Judaizers, by celebrating Passover, incur just as much wrath—if not far more—than my celebrating Christmas. You may also be forever marked by the Old Covenant if you practice it as your sacrifice, as certainly, Passover involved the sacrifice of the Passover lamb, who is Jesus; which, is why we celebrate Easter. We eat of the Passover at the Eucharist, and not on Passover anymore.
Do you let the uncircumcised eat at your seder? If not, you also incur strict wrath, as the circumcision is no longer in the flesh, but in Baptism. Repent.
With a change of Priesthood, comes a change in Law, for the priesthood being changed, it is necessary to change the law also.
Kitch
I feel like Nietzsche watching the horse get beat
As the sophistic professor explains why a heartfelt poem is bad.
He contrasts it with a cliche poem found on WordPress,
Over 10,000 times I've seen that tone...
Yet, the heartfelt expression of love...
That is bad.
As in to say, "Feel no good thing
"But suffer in this life.
"That is your portion;
"To have all joy removed
"And only filthy pain
"And even in your sex
"It is to be so...
"All love gone, all peace...
"For it is kitsch."
Yet if I could bottle just one emotion
I'd bottle the poem he said was bad.
That's just me...
To me, that's deeper anyway
One who retained their joy in this horribly abusive world.
