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.

Math

Math is framed. Neither invented or discovered. Basically, it just gets more and more clear the more we learn about it. Every equation gets more focused the more advanced the mathematics become, or the more we need to do with it, so it's like framing a picture, and cropping parts of it. Like, all principles in math are just built from other smaller principles, starting with the basic operations, all the way to a shape that could describe Reiman's Hypothesis. You don't discover the shape, or invent it, but describe it.

The Book of Enoch

Enoch is not Scripture. It's not even Apocrypha. It seems kind of cultish, actually, like a Book of Mormon and Koran. I hope nobody {}lays it as [a] foundation, as it's not pure, but rather empty and kind of evil. I've known many people ruined by it. It's not good teaching, but is a cult text. If you want other books to study, try the Apostolic Fathers or the Old Testament Apocrypha. Or Martyr's Mirror by Thielman Van Braght. None of that is scripture, but it's better teaching than Enoch, which is completely void.

The White Rider

He came with God's perfect law
And left the whole world stunned.
He came, and dazzled, and grew to all
A man who was God's bastard son.

Beelzebub, a Satyr red, 
In hoofed haunches stormed
He, like Emperor of Rome, it seemed
Made play like he was stormed. 

Their two armies did collide
And piles were the bodies made.
One man with an old, old story
Was wise to them, and was a saint.

He saw the White Rider with his reel
Take his hordes through the country gate---
Two great bastions of that Roman World
Would do battle, and many men's a mortal fate.

For neither to the left or right
Is what Christ had told us that day.
Do not fall from the narrow road
And enter through the wicket gate.

1 =/= 2

1 can never equal 2. That's impossible. Except to say that 2 inches equals 5.08 centimeters, but there's a conversion formula for that. We need to relearn number theory, as a society. So we don't end up making 1=2, as it never will.

[If] you subtracted out a similar term, and unbalanced the equation, [or something like it] the equality has to be equal the whole time, for it to work. We used to know that... it was the whole premise of my High School Education. I think the Internet made people braindead.

[T]his is a qualm I have with the internet, that it's literally making people forget some of the most basic things.

{}Some people try to make that point, [like in common core math, or they call math a "Western Concept"] these days. It's a strange world we live in.

I don't know... I was taught the equation has to always be equal, hence the term equation. You see where you reduced it, it's no longer equal.

In fact, in language that's how we have knowledge, too, is when empirical facts start equating, or things in the real world start being described. Like Geometry. Not many people relate math back to geometry, but that's where our entire knowledge of number and algebra comes from, is studying shapes, and deriving axioms of logic around it. And in fact, the evidence for the Bible does this very well, in archeology, ethics and also psychology.

Tatian

[W]e have almost the entire corpus of the Gospels in the Diatesarron, and in them, from at the latest 180AD, we see statements of Christ's divinity. And he was a heretic who wrote it, but they're all quotations from the Gospels, directly. We can safely assume the Gospels are 100% perfect. He was trying to unify them, when we need them in those four separate sources, to account their witness, but it's all there, and early. And we know from that, the Gospels are highly established, as they're being referenced to, to compile the document. And Mark is the least quoted of all four.

The Beauty of Number

Everything has number involved with it, from chemistry, to geometry, to physics. It's just the numbers work in proportion and relation to each other by equalities. Even the imaginary numbers are real, as they represent something, just in a higher dimension.

I can easily show you negative 9. It will plot on a graph, and work inverse in relation to the geometric figure. So, take a leaf, and do calculus with the curve for the leaf's edge, you'll find you need negatives for some of the curve and rate of change, to fully document the leaf, as some of the leaf's structure overlaps with the others in new dimensions of space. Like, you have a square represented on that x/y graph, the numbers are going to relate to actual geometry, and negatives are going to plot different points onto the graph, and create different lines and different dimensions, only equal to the equation.

Money's [also], not imaginary. Without it, you'd have no marker for received debts, or work. Like you need money to mark how much capital you have, and how much you've worked, and keep track of that, because without it, you'd have no way of keeping track of labor or production costs, which is real. Like your entire dollar bill is backed by capital, labor and how much work is invested into the economy, which is why a Banana Republic can happen, when there's nothing real--no labor or capital--backing the currencies, it causes inflation. Which is also why currencies spring up in every society, be it smoked meats, or sea shells, or sand dollars, or beads, or even dollar bills.

Papias is clearly relating the “Elders” to the “Apostles” so when he qualifies “The Elder John” he can only mean the Apostle John, as why include that epithet otherwise, and not for Aristion, whom he calls both “Disciples”. Other Fragments relating Church History show that Papias may have dictated the Book of John from the very same. And Papias also authenticates the episode of the woman caught in adultery.
