The perfect Dao is without difficulty, save that it avoids picking and choosing. Only when you stop liking or disliking will all be clearly understood. A split hair's difference, and heaven and earth are set apart! If you want to get the plain truth, be not concerned with right and wrong. The conflict between right and wrong is the sickness of the mind.

My portfollio is great but my karma has to pay the debt so no one will see it great.

Catholic / Orthodox & Protestant Peaceful Dialogue DOW said to Jimmy: "Christians holds that 'Scripture interprets Scripture' reflects the sufficiency and clarity (perspicuity) of the Bible for salvation and doctrine. While not denying the need for teachers, it asserts that the Holy Spirit illuminates #believers to understand Scripture’s core truths without requiring an infallible human authority like the Roman denomination founded in 3rd century. Soteriology ties to P - Perseverance of the Saints. This doctrine implies believers, guided by the Spirit, can reliably interpret Scripture for faith and practice, as God preserves them in truth. The clarity of Scripture (supported by T - #TotalDepravity, needing divine aid, and I - Irresistible Grace, ensuring understanding) counters the Catholic claim of necessity for an infallible #Church, emphasizing direct reliance on God’s Word and Spirit." Jimmy said to DOW: "This idea is why there are so many Protestant churches teaching so many different ideas concerning salvation. You refuse any human authority, and this is what you are stuck with, an endless amount of arguing, all using scripture, all using their method for exegesis, all claiming to be led by the Holy Spirit, and all disagreeing with one another. If there was 1 unified Protestant #denomination, then you might have a point, but that isn’t ever going to happen." DOW said to Jimmy: "Jimmy, the Bible declares salvation by grace through faith alone (Ephesians 2:8-9), with God sovereignly drawing His elect to Christ (John 6:44), not by works of law or merit, while unbiblical traditions like purgatory and human cooperation—absent from Scripture—taint Rome’s gospel; biblical tradition upholds God’s unchanging decree and the Spirit’s illumination of His Word, unlike the man-made fables of papal authority and #synergistic effort you cling to. So, repent and trust #Christ’s finished work alone—He died for #sinners, securing #redemption for those predestined before time—because your #Arminian leanings stem from an unregenerate heart (1 Corinthians 2:14), chasing free-will #illusions when God’s irresistible grace proves He alone saves, not your response." Jimmy said to DOW: "DOW I asked you some questions. I suggest that you answer them before I respond anymore. These questions are for your benefit so that I don’t misunderstand what you believe. It’s a gesture of good faith. I want you to remember that the #Apostles never tell anyone that they weren’t saved in the first place. Not one verse in scripture says that. If Gods grace was irresistible, then no one under Gods grace would sin at all, because they wouldn’t have a choice to sin. Gods grace wouldn’t allow them to sin. Answer the questions I had so I know who I’m dealing with and don’t misrepresent what you are saying." DOW said to Jimmy: "Jimmy, you’re out here grilling me like I’m a hot dog at a Catholic barbecue—asking if faith alone means you can sin like a champ and still waltz into heaven? Bro, I’d say you’re fishing for loopholes harder than a lawyer at a tax seminar, but God’s grace isn’t a “get out of jail free” card—it’s a divine tackle that pins you to the cross and says, “You’re mine, now act like it!” The Bible’s got faith alone saving us (Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 3:28), God picking His crew before the world started (Ephesians 1:4), and the Spirit guiding us into truth (John 16:13). What’s not there? Purgatory, popes bossing everyone around, and Mary handing out backstage passes to heaven—those are Roman DLC extras, not in the original script. Biblical tradition’s all about God’s Word ruling supreme, grace slamming the door on works, and the elect sticking it out to the end ‘cause God’s got their back. Unbiblical tradition? That’s Rome’s mixtape—purgatory, #indulgences, #bishop fan clubs—all jazzed up by human hype men, not the #Holy #Spirit. Listen up, folks—God saw us drowning in sin, said, “I’ll fix this,” sent Jesus to die and rise, and now offers salvation free to all who trust Him alone, no add-ons needed, ‘cause His grace is the MVP and we’re just the cheering section He picked before the game started! Yo, Jimmy, we’ve got a glitch—your questions are piling up like laundry after a Reformation road trip, and I’m sweating trying to keep up! Let’s sort this mess before I accidentally roast you into next #Sunday. Here’s what you, Jimmy, threw at me: “What do you mean by faith alone?” “Does faith alone mean you can sin all you want to and still make it to #heaven?” “Does faith alone mean that you don’t need to give up your wants and desires for what God wants?” “Does #faithalone mean that you can sin and do not need to repent of that sin?” I didn’t hit these head-on last time, so let me rewind and deliver: Faith alone? It’s trusting Christ’s finished work, not your sweaty good deeds—God’s grace does the heavy lifting (Ephesians 2:8-9). Sin all you want? Nah, fam, faith flips you—God’s elect don’t wallow in sin; they’re too busy being dragged to holiness by irresistible grace. Keep your wants? Nope, faith means God’s steering the ship—your old desires get a divine eviction notice (Romans 6:6). No #repentance? Wrong again—faith sparks repentance; you don’t dodge sin’s guilt, you ditch it ‘cause God’s already locked you in (Acts 3:19). Jimmy, my man, quit stressing over me getting heavenly perks like it’s a cosmic benefits package—focus on Sola Scriptura, bro! The Bible’s the only boss you need; it’s got the truth on lock, no HR department required. Alright, Jimmy, you said: “If God’s grace was irresistible, then no one under God’s grace would sin at all, because they wouldn’t have a choice to sin.” Here’s the deal—#irresistiblegrace isn’t a sin-proof force field; it’s God’s clutch move to snag His elect for #salvation (John 6:44). Once you’re in, you’re not a #robot—you still trip over sin ‘cause your old nature’s a clingy ex, but grace keeps hauling you back to the straight and narrow ‘til glory kicks in. Think of it like divine GPS: you might miss a turn, but God’s rerouting you home no matter what." Jimmy said to DOW: "DOW No, I’m honestly trying to find out what you believe so I don’t lump you in with all #Protestants. I’ve been given a lot of different answers on what faith alone means. Most people don’t stick to the #reformers version of it. So, obviously you cannot sin all you want, but I was trying to see what your honest response was. The issue is that in these forums, there should be no misunderstandings between us." DOW said to Jimmy: "Jimmy McNerney Hey Jimmy, you’re flapping those Catholic wings like a confused penguin, but Sola Scriptura’s got the #HolySpirit dropping truth bombs so clear even a blind monk could see it—Romans 3:28 says faith justifies apart from works, Ephesians 2:8-9 doubles down on grace alone, and John 16:13 promises the Spirit’s got our back, while your unbiblical #Rome #fables like purgatory and #pope palooza ain’t in God’s #Word; biblical tradition screams God’s sovereign grace picks the elect before time (Ephesians 1:4), not your bishop fan club, so here’s the gospel—repent, trust Christ alone, ‘cause He died and rose to save sinners, not your rituals—and Jimmy, this is a debate, not a cuddle session, so quit crying ‘cause I debunked you with God’s own words, leaving you all weepy in your feelings; it ain’t about me getting you, it’s about God’s truth smacking you upside the head ‘til you get Him!" Jimmy said to DOW: "DOW Ok, this conversation is done. I’m not trying to have some kind of gotcha moment. I’m trying to understand what you actually believe so I can respond accordingly without misrepresenting you. John 16:13 13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. Context: Who is Jesus talking to in these verses? Is he talking to all believers, or to the Apostles alone? If you go back to John 13, and read up to John 16, you will see that he isn’t preaching to everyone, but is talking to the apostles alone. Here’s what Protestants make the verse say. John 16:13 13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide all believers into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to all believers the things that are to come. This isn’t what this verse says. Jesus says the word, “You”, twice in this verse, and both times he is specifically talking to the apostles alone. Quit adding words and false context to scripture that isn’t there. Romans 3:28 28 For we hold that a man is justified by faith apart from works of law. This verse says faith apart from works of the law. It doesn’t say faith apart from good works. Works of the law and good works aren’t the same. Now you will start to misunderstand, so I need to go back to Ephesians. Ephesians 2:8-9 say that salvation was a gift and it wasn’t of us. That’s 100% correct. That’s called initial salvation. Verse 10 speaks of things that you should do after you are given the free gift that we didn’t do anything to earn. Good works done after initial salvation still don’t save you because you are already saved. They simply merit you more grace. Now you can be condemned by not doing good works because Jesus said, “what you do to the least of my brothers, you do unto me.” So denying people clothing, shelter, etc, is no different than denying Jesus. If you deny Jesus, you will not be saved." DOW said to Jimmy: "Jimmy McNerney Alright, Jimmy, buckle up—I'm about to drop a theological nuke so shocking it’ll make your rosary beads rattle! You’re whining about who deserves the death penalty? Sorry, pal, I’m a human, not God—I don’t pick who gets the cosmic zap, but if I were a betting human, I’d say your Catholic dogma’s already frying in the skillet of unbiblical hogwash! The Bible says faith alone saves (Romans 3:28, Ephesians 2:8-9—read it and weep), not your priestly puppet show, and John 16:13? Jesus tells the apostles the Spirit’ll guide them into all truth—boom, that’s the Word of God getting penned, not some promise for every Tom, Dick, and Jimmy to play Bible #roulette! What’s not in Scripture? Your purgatory, #popeworship, and #Mary fan club—pure fan fiction. Biblical tradition? Grace alone, faith alone, Christ alone—unbiblical tradition? Rome’s 3rd-century power grab, turning #bishops into mini-gods. Jimmy, this convo’s still kicking ‘cause I’m replying under my own thread—deal with it! You can run off like a scared #altarboy caught with the #communion wine, but Sola Scriptura’s got the gotcha moment locked down tighter than a nun’s habit—no matter how far you sprint, God’s Word’ll hunt you down! I'm all in on Sola Scriptura—Scripture’s the boss, not your Vatican fairy tales. Now, your little rant? You’re crying that John 16:13’s just for the apostles? Fair, Jesus said “you” to them, but the Spirit’s truth got us the New Testament, genius—it’s for all believers to read, not just your clergy clique to twist. So, I’m debunking your debunk—Scripture’s clear, you’re just too busy kissing rings to see it! Repent, trust Christ, and ditch the fables—game over, Jimmy!" Jimmy said to DOW: "DOW 1. The Church doesn’t believe in the #deathpenalty. 2. You’re very stubborn as I’ve explained to you that works of the law and good works are entirely, and completely two different things. Works of the law Circumcision Certain dietary restrictions Certain rituals #Goodworks Feeding the hungry Giving shelter to the homeless Taking care of the sick Visiting people in prison These are two totally different kinds of works. Does Romans 3:28 say that we are justified by faith apart from good works, or does it state that we are justified by faith apart from works of the law? You aren’t responding to what I’m saying at all." Jimmy said to DOW: "DOW The Bible doesn’t say #faith alone saves. You can’t just add words to scripture to make up your own narrative. I’m going to go over this one more time. If you do not actually respond to what I’ve said, then I’m going to take this as a hateful conversation instead of a good faith conversation. Ephesians 2:8-9 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God- 9 not because of works, lest any man should boast. Every Christian on earth agrees with this. There is not one #Christian alive that disagrees with these two verses. Got it? Here’s the Protestant stupidity in this matter. #Protestants will say that faith alone saves, but then say that true saving faith is never alone. Ok, then it’s not faith alone morons. I wasn’t using that harsh language towards you." Jimmy said to DOW: "DOW No, your interpretation of scripture is what has you locked down." DOW said to Jimmy: "Jimmy McNerney Alright, Jimmy, let’s crank this up to eleven and shock the pews off ya! You’re yammering about me like a broken record—well, here’s the gut-punch: I ain’t God, so I can’t zap anyone to the hot seat, but your Catholic crew’s so deep in unbiblical quicksand, you’re practically begging for a divine timeout! Romans 3:28 screams we’re justified by faith apart from works of the law—#circumcision, #kosher diets, rituals—sure, not good works explicitly, but #Ephesians 2:8-9 seals it: salvation’s a gift, not a merit badge from feeding the homeless! The Bible says faith alone (Romans 5:1), not faith-plus-soup-kitchen-duty; your “good works merit more grace” is nowhere in there—purgatory, bishops ruling the roost, praying to Mary? Total fanfic, not Scripture. Biblical tradition? Grace hits you like a freight train, no human middleman needed. Unbiblical? Rome’s circus of rituals and guilt trips tacked on centuries later. Look, Jimmy, I’ve been roasting your nonsense this whole time—check the thread, I’m on it like flies on a #Reformation picnic! Why don’t you hear me? ‘Cause your ears are clogged with #papal wax—1 #Corinthians 2:14 says the natural man’s deaf to God’s #truth, and you’re proving it, stuck in your unregenerate muck! You didn’t run far, though—Sola Scriptura’s like a leash yanking you back to God’s Word; no escaping that holy chokehold, my friend! So, repent, ditch the fables, and let #Scripture slap some sense into ya—you’re arguing in circles, but I’m still here, loud as ever!" DOW said to Jimmy: "Jimmy McNerney Jimmy, hold onto your catechism, ‘cause I’m about to shock the holy water outta ya with a one-sentence gut-punch! The #Bible says we’re justified by faith apart from works of the law (Romans 3:28), not a peep about good works earning you a halo, while your #Catholic crew’s unbiblical tradition piles on #purgatory and saint-praying like it’s a cosmic chore chart—nowhere in #Scripture , pal, but biblical tradition screams God’s got the elect covered, no bishop’s blessing required, so quit dodging the #Spirit ’s #smackdown and repent before you’re toast!" Jimmy said to DOW: "DOW Ok, you aren’t even responding to what I’ve said. I’m not playing your game. I tried to be nice and not misrepresent you by asking you questions and you keep posting the same stuff. You aren’t wanting to have a real conversation, you just want to accuse." #DOW said to Jimmy: "#JimmyMcNerney Alright, Jimmy, you sad sack, I’m about to drop a comedy bomb so shocking it’ll jolt you outta your snorefest coma—sorry, pal, but I can’t sentence you to the eternal fry-up, I’m just an human, not the Grim Reaper! The #Bible ’s crystal clear: Romans 3:28 says faith alone saves, not your Catholic laundry list of deeds—purgatory, Mary fan mail, and bishop boot-licking? That’s extra-biblical fan fiction, not God’s Word! Biblical tradition? #Grace slams down like a divine piledriver, no human referee needed; unbiblical tradition? Rome’s guilt-trip circus, spinning tales the apostles never signed off on! You can keep spinning that broken record all you want, Jimmy, but if you wanna quit babbling nonsense anyone’ll buy, skip to #SolaScriptura—God’s truth ain’t hiding in your priest’s playbook! C’mon, man, get creative—this snooze-fest’s so dull I’m nodding off faster than a congregation on a three-hour #sermon ; shock us awake or sit down!" Jimmy said to DOW: "DOW Nope, I’m not even reading your comment until you are ready to have a good faith conversation. Bye. You haven’t responded to anything I’ve said, so I’m done with you." DOW said to Jimmy: "Jimmy McNerney . ----------BREAKING NEWS---------- . Alright, folks, strap in for a wild ride—here’s a report straight from the theological Thunderdome!

BREAKING NEWS: Jimmy’s Debate Debacle Exposed! . “March 25, 2025—Live from the Digital Pulpit: Jimmy McNerney’s Gaslighting Gambit Crumbles in Plain Sight!” DOW’s dropping truth bombs—Romans 3:28, John 6:44, Ephesians 1:4—proving salvation’s all God’s doing, no human help wanted. Jimmy’s response? Whine, deflect, and play the “you’re not answering me” card like a toddler who didn’t get his cookies. . Newsflash, Jimmy: DOW answered everything, and we’re here to prove it—your tricks are toast, and the crowd’s howling! . Jimmy’s Narcissistic Gaslighting Tricks—Busted Wide Open! Jimmy tried to pull a fast one, folks—using sneaky, slimy tactics to dodge DOW’s devastating Scripture slams.

But DOW’s no pushover—he’s got the Spirit’s illumination and a Bible sharper than a stand-up comic’s punchline. Let’s list Jimmy’s every question and DOW’s knockout answers—watch the Arminian house of cards collapse! Jimmy (Day 1): “What do you mean by faith alone? Does it mean you can sin all you want and still make it to heaven? Does it mean no repentance?” DOW’s Answer (Day 1): “Faith alone’s trusting Christ’s work, not yours—Ephesians 2:8-9. Sin all you want? Nope, grace flips you to holiness. No repentance? Wrong—faith sparks it, Acts 3:19.” BOOM! Clear as day—Jimmy’s just pretending it’s foggy! Jimmy (Day 1): “If God’s grace is irresistible, why do people sin?” DOW’s Answer (Day 1): “Irresistible grace snags the elect for salvation (John 6:44), not a sin-proof bubble—old nature fights, but grace wins out.” KAPOW! Jimmy ignored this and kept whining! Jimmy (Day 2): “Who’s Jesus talking to in John 16:13—all believers or apostles?” DOW’s Answer (Day 2): “Apostles got the Spirit’s truth to write Scripture—now it’s for all of us to read, not your clergy to twist!” WHAM! Jimmy’s “context” trick flops—DOW’s still on target! Jimmy (Day 2): “Romans 3:28 says works of the law, not good works—answer that!” DOW’s Answer (Day 2): “Romans 3:28 and Ephesians 2:8-9 say faith, not works, saves—your ‘good works merit grace’ ain’t in the Bible!” CRUNCH! Jimmy’s splitting hairs, but DOW’s got the whole head shaved! Jimmy (Day 2): “Bible doesn’t say faith alone—you’re adding words!” DOW’s Answer (Day 2): “Romans 5:1, Ephesians 2:8-9—faith justifies, no works tagged on. Your purgatory’s the add-on, pal!” SMACK! Jimmy’s caught lying red-handed! Jimmy, you scooped so low below the belt, you’re practically debating from the sewer—and you failed in front of everyone! Every question you lobbed, DOW smashed back with Scripture sharper than a reformer’s quill. Your gaslighting? Exposed! Your “he’s not answering” sob story? . A sham! . We all see it, plain as predestination—DOW’s answers were there, loud and proud, while you floundered like a fish in a net of your own making. Jimmy’s Failed Tricks—Everyone’s Laughing Now!

Trick #3: Cop-Out Exit—“I’m done, you’re hateful!” Classic quitter move when the heat’s on—your last comment’s a white flag waved in shame! Jimmy, everyone here sees through your smoke and mirrors—you lied, you gaslit, you hoped we’d buy it. Newsflash: we’re not that dumb! You shouldn’t debate in groups anymore, you trickster—stick to your Roman echo chamber, ‘cause out here, Sola Scriptura’s got your number, and it’s dialed to defeated! The Final Flop: Jimmy’s Last Comment Proves He’s Cooked! Jimmy’s grand finale? “I’m not reading until you talk nice—bye!” Oh, bless your heart, you poor, pitiful deceiver—running away when DOW’s Scripture storm left you drenched and debunked! That’s not a debate exit; it’s a cop-out confession. You failed, Jimmy—your Arminian-Roman mashup couldn’t stand the Calvinist heat, and now the whole crowd’s rolling in the aisles at your theological tumble! The Moral of the Story, Folks DOW stood tall, armed with God’s Word, proving Calvinism’s rock-solid truth: grace alone, faith alone, Christ alone—no room for Jimmy’s man-made myths. Jimmy? He slunk off, exposed as a gaslighting grifter who couldn’t handle the heat of a real debate. So, laugh it up, folks—Calvinism’s still king, and Jimmy’s just the court jester who forgot his lines! Mic drop!"

I spent time with this guy. Grandmaster Fu Wei Zhong taught me Distance Meditative Healing Energy Group Transmission (Mind-To-Mind). Now the Quantum computers are talking to each other like its new. I learned this 30 years ago. Maybe I should offer it on #Nostr. Below is something I read a while ago. --------------------------------- Scientists have measured the speed at which quantum entanglement occurs, finding it to be incredibly fast—so fast that it's difficult for humans to comprehend. Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon where two particles become linked, so that the state of one instantly influences the state of the other, no matter how far apart they are. This study focused on understanding how quickly this entanglement forms. Researchers used powerful laser pulses to excite atoms, causing one electron to be ejected and another to move to a higher energy state within the atom. They discovered that these two electrons became entangled during this process. The timing of the ejected electron's departure was linked to the energy state of the remaining electron, with differences measured in attoseconds—a billionth of a billionth of a second. This precise measurement of entanglement formation could have significant implications for quantum technologies, such as computing and secure communication. Understanding how entanglement develops at such rapid timescales may lead to advancements in controlling quantum systems and enhancing the security of #quantum communications.
