(A Biblical Response to Alcohol Series)This is a classic argument by those who would question the Bible's clear stand against alcohol consumption when taking into account a full view of Scripture and history. And it's one that seems to have some stability! Some would say, “Doesn't this imply that if you are not a pastor, you can drink? Why would the Bible tell you that pastors can't drink if it doesn't mean that? Doesn't the verse about the priests imply that they could drink outside of the priesthood?"
The word “continue” carries another option with it...don't continue. How many times has a parent said, “Stop doing (fill in the blank),” but you keep doing it. Then you hear, “If you keep doing that (continue), you're going to get a spanking (Or a time out)”? Then, since you continued to do the thing they said to quit doing, you get your punishment. The parent was implying “Do not continue doing what you are doing” when they said “If you continue doing that...” You had a choice to make...right? To continue or not continue. Paul tells the church at Colosse they have started strong in the faith, and now they have accepted Jesus, they must continue to follow him which implies you have a choice: continue to follow Jesus or don't continue to follow Jesus. Jesus said the same thing to his disciples in John 15, “Remain in me” which implies there is another option, “Don't remain in me...” Where are you? Are you continuing to follow Jesus?

Welcome to Grace in Focus radio. Bob Wilkin and Colin Jackson are answering two questions today, one about Judas' salvation and another about believers being worthy of everlasting life. Are there indications in the Gospels that Judas actually was a believer? Does Acts 13:46 point to some sort of self-merit or worthiness of the believer?
While Jews and Unitarian Christians have traditionally argued from Deut 6:4 that God is only one person, several Trinitarian apologists and internet theologians have insisted that "echad" (the Hebrew word for "one") refers to a compound unity of multiple persons. This episode examines the cardinal Hebrew number one ("echad") to determine if it is a word possessing the meaning of compound unity. After digging deep into the lexicons and dictionaries, we listen to the best arguments put forth by Trinitarians in favor of "echad" referring to a plurality of subjects. The results are, let's say, less than compelling for the argument in favor of compound unity.

The U.S. government's highway safety agency says Tesla is telling drivers in public statements that its vehicles can drive themselves, conflicting with the owner's manual and briefings with the agency saying the electric vehicles need human supervision. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is asking the company to “revisit its communications” to make sure messages are consistent with user instructions. The agency began the investigation in October after getting reports of four crashes involving “Full Self-Driving" when Teslas encountered sun glare, fog and airborne dust. An Arizona pedestrian was killed in one of the crashes. Critics, including Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, have long accused Tesla of using deceptive names for its partially automated driving systems, including “Full Self-Driving” and “Autopilot,” both of which have been viewed by owners as fully autonomous. A letter and email raise further questions about whether “Full Self-Driving” will be ready for use without human drivers on public roads, as Tesla CEO Elon Musk has predicted. In the email, Gregory Magno, a division chief with the agency's Office of Defects Investigation, writes that Tesla briefed the agency in April on an offer of a free trial of “Full Self-Driving” and emphasized that the owner's manual, user interface and a YouTube video tell humans that they have to remain vigilant and in full control of their vehicles. But Magno cited seven posts or reposts from Tesla's account on X, the social media platform owned by Musk, that indicated that “Full Self-Driving” is capable of driving itself. “Tesla's X account has reposted or endorsed postings that exhibit disengaged driver behavior,” Magno wrote. “We believe that Tesla's postings conflict with its stated messaging that the driver is to maintain continued control over the dynamic driving task." In addition, Tesla says on its website that the use of “Full Self-Driving” and “Autopilot” without human supervision depends on “achieving reliability" and regulatory approval, Magno wrote. But the statement is accompanied by a video of a man driving on local roads with his hands on his knees, with a statement that “The person in the driver's seat is only there for legal reasons. He is not doing anything. The car is driving itself,” the email said. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

If a person claims to be both a CHRISTIAN and PRO-CHOICE, what does that IMPLY about their view of God's CHARACTER?” Have you ever thought about that question? The answer is FAITH SHATTERING and “pro-choice Christians,” although well-intentioned, need to use great CAUTION about imputing their FEELINGS onto God. More importantly they need to consider the drastic IMPLICATIONS of their opinion on the very character and nature of God. On the other hand, Pro-Life Christians need to learn to have constructive conversations with their Pro-Choice brothers and sisters regarding abortion.
"While teachers use interventions to allow students to catch up with their learning results and use differentiation to make sure that learning tasks are appropriate, when it comes to behavior we often default to consistency as a panacea." -(Dave Whitaker) Consistency is built when students sense the teacher's usual, expected teacher behavior. Flexibility emerges when the teacher changes from that approach in response to a situation or individual student's needs. Explore verbal structures teachers can use across a continuum of giving, sharing, or keeping the decision-making voice in a classroom.

Wi Sung-lac, Seoul's former ambassador to Russia and a Democratic Party of Korea lawmaker, said Thursday some key Donald Trump allies have told him they think US troops in South Korea could be reduced -- although not completely withdrawn -- if the former president wins in November. * Former: 과저, 이전의 / Previous * Key: 중요한 / Crucial * Ally: 동맹국, 협력자 * Reduce: [규모, 크기] 등을 줄이다, 축소하다 / Decrease “I was told by his campaign officials that if Trump is re-elected, some reductions in US troops levels in South Korea were likely, but that they would not be withdrawn completely,” he told The Korea Herald. “I was also told South Korea could be asked to share more of the defense costs.” * Withdraw: 철수하다 / Remove * Likely: ~할 것 같은, 것으로 예상되는 / To be expected * Share: 부담하다; 공유하다 / Split; Divide But Wi said he personally would not rule out US troops from being pulled out of South Korea altogether, if a second-term Trump administration becomes a reality. * Rule out: 배제하다 / Exclude * Pull out: 빠져나가다 / Withdraw * Reality: 현실 / Actuality “Some believe that the establishment officials in Washington would prevent Trump from pulling US troops from the Korean Peninsula and making other moves that he hinted at.

Purpose: What Evolution and Human Nature Imply about the Meaning of Our Existence by Samuel T. Wilkinson https://amzn.to/3WaeLU5 A Next Big Idea Club Must-Read By using principles from a variety of scientific disciplines, Yale Professor Samuel Wilkinson provides a framework for human evolution that reveals an overarching purpose to our existence. Generations have been taught that evolution implies there is no overarching purpose to our existence, that life has no fundamental meaning. We are merely the accumulation of tens of thousands of intricate molecular accidents. Some scientists take this logic one step further, suggesting that evolution is intrinsically atheistic and goes against the concept of God. But is this true? By integrating emerging principles from a variety of scientific disciplines—ranging from evolutionary biology to psychology—Yale Professor Samuel Wilkinson provides a framework of evolution that implies not only that there is an overarching purpose to our existence, but what this purpose is. With respect to our evolution, nature seems to have endowed us with competing dispositions, what Wilkinson calls the dual potential of human nature. We are pulled in different directions: selfishness and altruism, aggression and cooperation, lust and love. When we couple this with the observation that we possess a measure of free will, all this strongly implies there is a universal purpose to our existence. This purpose, at least one of them, is to choose between the good and evil impulses that nature has created within us. Our life is a test. This is a truth, as old as history it seems, that has been espoused by so many of the world's religions. From a certain framework, these aspects of human nature—including how evolution shaped us—are evidence for the existence of a God, not against it. Closely related to this is meaning. What is the meaning of life? Based on the scientific data, it would seem that one such meaning is to develop deep and abiding relationships. At least that is what most people report are the most meaningful aspects of their lives. This is a function of our evolution. It is how we were created.About the author Samuel T. Wilkinson is Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the Yale School of Medicine, where he also serves as Associate Director of the Yale Depression Research Program. Dr. Wilkinson received his B.S. in mechanical engineering from Brigham Young University and later his medical degree from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. He completed his residency at Yale, where he joined the faculty following his post-graduate medical training. His primary research has focused on depression and suicide prevention and has been funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, the National Institute of Drug Abuse, the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation, and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. His research and articles have been featured in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal. He has been the recipient of many awards, including Top Advancements & Breakthroughs from the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation (2017 and 2020), Top Ten Psychiatry Papers by the New England Journal of Medicine Journal Watch, the Early Career Scholar Award from the American Psychiatric Association, and the rank of Eagle Scout.
How do we craft a metaphor that works? More importantly, perhaps, how do we ensure the metaphors we use pivot to the audience to teach them something in their lives or work, without them getting lost? Do we overtly explain the lesson? Imply it? Some combination? It's a delicate dance, and few do it like Tucker Bryant.Tucker isn't just a keynote speaker; he's a poet who has taken the stage everywhere from corporate boardrooms to major conferences, importing what he knows from the world of verse to the world of business innovation. After working at Google, Tucker transformed his own unique perspective and skill as a poet into keynotes that grip audiences by the thousands, leaving lasting impressions on everyone from marketers to HR pros to C-suite executives.In this episode, we dive into Tucker's signature story about a young poet named Robert. We find a macro-level shape to the metaphor and apply it back in the audience's more literal world, before re-working some of the story to add some drama, tension, and lessons — all to make Tucker's message feel inescapable and irresistible to audiences. We talk pacing, pivoting, and probably a third-P (and why lists of three really matter when we list examples.) (For real, that's in there.)Whether you're looking to deliver a powerful speech, tighten your brand's message, or inspire action in your next conversation or piece of content, this episode is for you.Resources:⚫ Follow Tucker on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tuckerbryant/⚫ Tucker's site: https://www.tuckerbryantspeaks.com/

Data trends are approaching Fed threshold for rate cuts The latest economic data releases this year suggest the labor market remains strong but is cooling and the consumer is resilient in the face of sticky inflation, especially on the services side of the economy. Michael Gapen says the rebound in the labor force, labor participation and net migration played a crucial role in his revised US GDP (gross domestic product) estimates where he forecasts higher economic growth in 2024 and lower growth in 2025. Much of this positive data has led the Fed to delay their first rate cut from March to June according to our US Economics team's forecast. However, equity market strengths should help keep inflation sticky, but shouldn't reverse the downward trend. Productivity enhancements from AI still aren't reflecting in the economic data and we're still a few years off until we see AI's impact.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Pareto-Distributed Opportunities Imply Isoelastic Utility, published by ABlank on March 31, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. with η=1/(α1). You've probably seen a curve like Figure 1 before: We can do more good by expending more resources, but the marginal cost-effectiveness tends to decrease as we run out of low-hanging fruit. This post is about the relationship between that utility vs. expenditure curve and the set of possible opportunities we can work on. In 2021, OpenPhil wrote that they model GiveWell's returns to scale as isoelastic with η=0.375. In a recent blogpost, OpenPhil wrote that they "tend to think about returns to grantmaking as logarithmic by default "[1] . In the model they cite for logarithmic returns, @Owen Cotton-Barratt models opportunities as having independent distributions of cost and benefit and works out approximately logarithmic utility curves from some reasonable assumptions. What follows is a simpler but less general approach to the same problem. Think of the distribution of opportunities as a density curve with cost-effectiveness on the x axis and available scale at that level of cost-effectiveness on the y axis (see Figure 2). By cost-effectiveness, i mean the utils-per-dollar of an opportunity. And by available scale, i mean how many dollars can be spent at a given level of cost-effectiveness[2] . Equivalently, you can think of the y axis as the density of ways to spend one dollar at a given cost-effectiveness. A univariate distribution of opportunities is easier to reason about than a bivariate one, but at the cost of losing information that might affect the order in which we fund them, so we can't represent something like difficulty-based selection in Owen Cotton-Barratt's model.[3] Suppose that we start at the positive infinity cost-effectiveness end of the opportunity distribution and work our way left towards zero[4]. In reality, some low-hanging fruit has already been picked, but that's OK because it just means that in the final answer we shift our position on the utility vs. expenditure graph by however many dollars have already been spent. Cost-effectiveness is the derivative of utility with respect to expenditure. And available scale density is the derivative of expenditure with respect to cost-effectiveness. Letting q be cost-effectiveness, S be the scale density function, and U be the utility function, we have the following differential equation: where U' is cost-effectiveness as a function of total expenditure, (U')1 is total expenditure as a function of cost-effectiveness, and ((U')1)' is the derivative of expenditure with respect to cost-effectiveness. Solving this differential equation lets us convert between two different pretty intuitive[5] ways of thinking about diminishing returns to scale. I think it makes sense to model the distribution of opportunities as a power law: First and foremost, it makes the math easy. Rapidly approaching 0 at infinity makes sense. Going to infinity at 0 makes sense because there's a kajillion ways to spend a ton of resources inefficiently. A lot of stuff actually is pretty Pareto-distributed in real life. And, of course, cost-effectiveness of opportunities having a Pareto-like distribution is EA dogma[6] And so that the integral converges on the positive infinity side, the exponent must be less than negative one. It turns out that if you work this out (see appendix) for a power law opportunity distribution S(q)=kqp, you wind up with an isoelastic U where This seems like a pretty neat and satisfying result that hopefully will make it easier to think about this stuff. I suspect that some EAs have been, like me, explicitly or implicitly modelling the distribution of cost-effectiveness of opportunities as a power law and modelling diminishing returns to scale as isoelastic without thin...

Generations have been taught that evolution implies there is no overarching purpose to our existence, that life has no fundamental meaning. We are merely the accumulation of tens of thousands of intricate molecular accidents. Some scientists take this logic one step further, suggesting that evolution is intrinsically atheistic and goes against the concept of God. With respect to our evolution, nature seems to have endowed us with competing dispositions, what Wilkinson calls the dual potential of human nature. We are pulled in different directions: selfishness and altruism, aggression and cooperation, lust and love. By using principles from a variety of scientific disciplines, Yale Professor Samuel Wilkinson provides a framework for human evolution that reveals an overarching purpose to our existence. Wilkinson claims that this purpose, at least one of them, is to choose between the good and evil impulses that nature has created within us. Our life is a test. This is a truth, as old as history it seems, that has been espoused by so many of the world's religions. From a certain framework, Wilkinson believes that these aspects of human nature—including how evolution shaped us—are evidence for the existence of a God, not against it. Closely related to this is meaning. What is the meaning of life? Based on the scientific data, it would seem that one such meaning is to develop deep and abiding relationships. At least that is what most people report are the most meaningful aspects of their lives. This is a function of our evolution. It is how we were created. Shermer and Wilkinson discuss: • evolution: random chance or guided process? • selfishness and altruism • aggression and cooperation • inner demons and better angels • love and lust • free will and determinism • the good life and the good society • empirical truths, mythic truths, religious truths, pragmatic truths • Is there a cosmic courthouse where evil will be corrected in the next life? • theodicy and the problem of evil: Why do bad things happen to good people? Samuel T. Wilkinson is Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Yale University, where he also serves as Associate Director of the Yale Depression Research Program. He received his MD from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. His articles have been featured in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal. He has been the recipient of many awards, including Top Advancements & Breakthroughs from the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation; Top Ten Psychiatry Papers by the New England Journal of Medicine, the Samuel Novey Writing Prize in Psychological Medicine (Johns Hopkins); the Thomas Detre Award (Yale University); and the Seymour Lustman Award (Yale University). His new book is Purpose: What Evolution and Human Nature Imply About the Meaning of our Existence.

On this episode, we debunk the myth that Druid can't do joins. Druid doesn't function as a traditional relational database because it was purpose-built for lightning-fast queries on large datasets. However, this doesn't mean Druid is entirely devoid of join capabilities – it simply approaches them differently. Our myth-busting team features returning guests Sergio Ferragut and Hellmar Becker from Imply ready to clarify how Druid handles joins in its own unique way and tackle what Druid is for in the first place.
John 5:16-24 (LSB)Andrew and Edwin notice Jesus's claims about personal authority. Surely, if anyone in all of human history had the right to act on His own authority, Jesus would be the one. But He didn't. Neither should we. In this episode, our hosts discuss how Jesus determined what the Father authorized.Read the written devo that goes along with this episode by clicking here.

When it comes to fraud detection, initial detection is key, but so is the ability to quickly dissect and address the problem to minimize losses. This means access to real-time data is paramount. The only way to combat fraud in the digital age is to fight fire with fire…automation with automation. In this episode, we're joined by Jaylyn Stoesz, Staff Data Engineer at Ibotta, a free cashback rewards platform, who walks us through Ibotta's multifaceted approach to fraud detection that includes Apache Druid and gives us the full scoop on their use of Imply Polaris.
Peter is the Rock Jesus Builds His Church Upon! What Does That Imply For Us? In today's Gospel, we witness a pivotal moment . . . . . . where Jesus designates Simon Peter as the cornerstone upon which He intends to build His Church. Matthew 16:18 becomes a cornerstone passage that elucidates the foundation of the apostolic mission of the Church. With the words, “And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock, I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it,” Jesus imparts a profound message about the enduring strength and purpose of His Church. The significance of this declaration becomes more apparent when we examine the linguistic symbolism. The name “Peter” derives from the Greek word “Petros,” which translates to “Rock” or “Stone.” It's a name that encapsulates the stability and solidity that a rock represents. Interestingly, the scene of this proclamation is set against a backdrop that reinforces this symbolism: an altar made of a substantial 3+-ton rock and an ambo carved from a multi-ton rock. These visual cues emphasize the weightiness and significance of the message. . . . What Does That Imply For Us? Beyond the physical imagery, the heart of the matter lies in the spiritual implications. Jesus' declaration to Peter carries layers of meaning. At the surface, it signifies Peter's foundational role in the establishment of the Church. He is the bedrock upon which the Church constructs the community of believers. This points to the importance of faith, loyalty, and dedication that Peter embodies. Furthermore, this event serves as a reminder that Jesus' Church is built on faith, not just Peter alone. The idea of the “powers of death” being unable to prevail underscores the enduring nature of the Church, protected by divine forces against any adversity. In essence, Jesus is entrusting Peter with a leadership role, one that encompasses the mission of guiding believers and fortifying the Church against challenges. For us, the modern followers of Christ, this Gospel passage holds timeless wisdom. It urges us to reflect on the foundations of our own faith and the roles we play within the broader Church community. The Church prompts us to examine our commitment to the principles that the Church stands upon and consider how we can contribute to its growth and resilience. Just as Peter was chosen to be the rock, we are invited to be steadfast in our convictions and to actively participate in building the Church through our actions and beliefs. What is Jesus telling Peter, and telling us in today's Gospel? Listen more to this Meditation Media.
