Christianity Etc › Re: Origin Of The New Testament Gospel. by budaatum: 9:04am On Nov 05, 2022
The Gospels were written way before Eusebius was born! The oldest surviving piece of text is even older than him by about 40 years

I think your bank is trying to scam you, though that's if you truly haven't been scamming.

If it's your money you'd fight to get it back, but if not I guess you'd forfeit.

I know it's pointless as far as you are concerned because once they've fed you lies the truth doesn't matter to you. But all the same.

Adam was made to have have Dominion over the fowls.
This is not true! Below is the instruction given to Adam.

[url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%202%3A15&version=NIV]The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it[/url].

Adam did not even have dominion over the garden he was placed in to take care of or he'd have had dominion over all the trees there too.

Sir, I do not come as one who is knowledgeable, but one applying your concept to ask, seek and knock, my Question, Sir, dont you believe Adam is the image of God?
I don't know why you'd keep asking me the same question I have answered many times already.

buda does not believe, period! I ask and knock and seek so that I may instead know. One does not after all believe one has money in one's pocket if one has checked their pocket and know if there is money there or not, or do you? And once you know it is rain that is falling on your head do you merely believe it is rain that is falling in your head or do you know rain is falling in your head?

If you read Genesis 2 where Adam was created you'd find for yourself that it was after the 7th day after God had rested in Genesis 1, which was well after God created humans in his own image, that Adam was written to have been created, so how can they be the same person?

Please keep your post short. Time is a premium today. And no one is asking you to be like buda! Be like yourself.

I know history is not taught in our schools, and even if it were, South Africa apart from apartheid is unlikely to be on the curricula, but surely there must be somewhere where ask and knock and seek with your own heart and soul and mind and being is taught, or do people still think it means believe?

Funny. This is mainly in Nigeria media and not a single source found in UK or US media.

Are you sure it's not just Nigeria playing tit for tat?

Below is a more complete graph of unemployment in UK. Women were not counted much since they were not really expected to work, and which makes post war unemployment seem low. Count them and it would have been much higher.

America did not have Europe's post WW1 nor 2 issues, but still experienced a slump eventually.

If Facebook had gotten Snapchat, they would have owned close to half of social media and my guess is their end game was to raise ad costs after their buying spree.

Buying Twitter would raise their shares astronomically.
Unfortunately, or fortunately, Facebook did not get Snapchat, and I doubt they'd want twitter or be allowed to have it. And if they were allowed to have it their only intention would be to kill twitter or integrate it into Facebook which would kill it anyway.

Apart from that, Facebook shareholders would likely not let Facebook buy twitter because twitter is currently toxic and they are losing in it as it is.

We would not agree however. You see twitter as an asset while I see it as currently toxic, considering its let go a large portion of its workers who were it's asset.

Of course during war, unemployment is at lowest but if you compare post war to regular peace times, you willl find low unemployment after the initial shock of people returning, companies actually start to take on non-war capacity, infrastructure rebuilds etc. No be why the Wind rush generation was called to Britain to come and rebuild it

UK post war unemployment below.and US also (factor in great depression from 1929 to 1939 for USA)
Post links to your graphs below please.

Seems it was different in America though, but it wasn't exactly their war as no destruction occured on their land and others were in debt to them after it.

We're in a weird time. Even in the UK, were at all time low unemployment despite several economic stressors.

I wouldn't mind seeing more writings drawing parallels between a post pandemic economy and a post war economy. Unemployment is always low post war (rebuilding, people now confident to spend) while inflation goes through the roof.
Where did you get that from? Post war when all the people who did not die fighting join the unemployment pool that already includes all those let go from building armaments?

It's not like countries broke from fighting wars have money left over to employ them to rebuild.

I no go school reach so I don't know the meaning of blurtantly. I do know what agreed means though, so what exactly is your complaint?

Is it that she returned before midnight and did not sleep over and return in the morning?

If so, I too must condemn her for you for respecting and regarding you.

Of course he will wait till next bull market for such a play

Musk does not make money from turning profit, he.makes money from capital markets, so Twitter willl definitely be back.on the stock.exchange after he has got.his story right.

Left to me I don't even know how SpaceX and Starlink are two different companies except to rip off the Capital markets in two seperate IPOs. Space X is a service company for Starlink. Most companies are doing vertical integration,.Musk is decoupling companies so he can float several overvalued IPOs and cashout. SpaceX is just a transport company, Starlink is where the real money is cos that is a potential cash business. But mix all that narrative together and SpaceX is currently valued at $125bln
We'll see when that bull gets to market.

Meanwhile, here's how hard it is to find staff.

It doesn't matter if Twitter true value is $20bln. He can IPO at $100bln and by the time it fall back to $20bln, by then Elon has exited. Bros, whales escape at the point.of utmost liquidity

That's how he escaped a chunk of his Tesla position at all.time high by fabricating an argument about tax with Elizabeth Warren
That was then when money cost 0%, and this is now when it's 5% and rising.

I guess he can wait till 2027 or so, but I expect him to have eroded a lot more of whatever value it has by then.

If he can push Tesla to a trillion, he can push Twitter to $88bln on a promise and narrative. Retail investors don't buy fundamentals, they buy.narrative and that's the crowd that invests in his companies, while smart money will follow them there as whales love liquidity
They buy narrative until their eyes are opened to reality.

Tesla has almost halved in 6 months already, and smart money hates losses. Tesla is valued way more than Ford and GM combined despite selling a fraction of cars they sell, so it likely has more bottom beneath it.

Stupid is as stupid does!

ASUU does not have the right to call a strike without first balloting it's members, so those lecturers better think hard before they let themselves be led like lamb to the slaughter.

Now, he can sell Twitter to Facebook for a huge payout.
And you think Facebook that is facing its own problems would want to buy twitter, and that apart from anticompetitive laws getting in the way?

I'd love to see Facebook poison itself even more, is all I can say

He's already caked out healthily. I'm sure he is more of the view that there is more money to be made in hyping up share price than in turning over profit. It's his.modus.operandi with Tesla. He can actually cut Twitter profit in half and still IPO it for $88bln with enough narrative and promises
Ibime, come on man. Loss of advertising revenue plus loss of staff, which in this staff scarcity environment is a huge asset throaway, and you think twitter will ipo in this ipo hostile market for $88 billon when money costs 5% and rising?

I guess you think those who insisted he buy it from them knew nothing of what they were selling, lol. This, however, is not Tesla nor is it new tech.

Even dump easily started his own, so just about anyone can, and it won't have the toxicity Elon has musked his with.

He'd need to do some serious grovelling to keep user numbers positive as it is. And he's already been on SECs radar so hyping up share price might not be so easy.

Like you said, he bought poison
He did not think it through when he bid for twitter. He very soon realised he'd opened his mouth too big and his supposed free speech cost him a whopping $44 Billion! And now he's slowly finding out it would cost him even more, lol.

Now, if that's not lesson enough that speech is not free then he hasn't learnt anything yet. He lost PayPal through his big mouth and might learn how big his mouth is when he loses Tesla and SpaceX too.

Please listen carefully.

You see beautiful thing for market and say you de admire. Is market not the place I take my stuff to display to sell? Abi you think I carry am go market for admiration?

So what's wrong if I tell you how much I de sell. I put my hand in your pocket collect your money?

Dude, please know that if you want to pay for admire, I will take your money. Hopefully, more with little sense will come and pay to admire before someone else will come to buy my stuff and pay better money. Your own and your type go be jara on top.

Thank you in advance for paying to admire. May your pocket never dry.
