Eh… Wordpress isn’t that heavy. Probably not as heavy as matrix or even Mastodon. It’s a very versatile, expandable and easy to use platform which I’d strongly recommend.

Do you reckon this app could have been vibecoded/a product of AI? Or massive use of AI in development? I’d know not to do this as a teenager when I was beginning to tinker with making apps, nevermind an actual business.

I believe in Northern Ireland it’s the same system. I may be wrong, though. Our sewage system has a lot of issues, unfortunately.

Don’t they lead to the same system? If there was a leak in your roof over your shower, your shower drain will also be a storm drain

I’d usually say a sovereign state which claims to be, that’ll rule out England and Scotland, though. But I wouldn’t really classify them as a country. I wouldn’t classify Taiwan as a country either, but as a province of the Republic of China which is a country that isn’t the People’s Republic of China. I’d consider the State of Israel and Palestine both countries as well.

It was nice for me. I enjoyed it. It was good food. But not something I’d bother spending £17 on. I would have enjoyed a £8 meal from burger king the same even if it’s slightly lower quality. When it comes to eating, I am not a sweat or a food enthusiast. I just needed to eat something for dinner so my mum and girlfriend don’t get annoyed with me.

I spent £17 on a burger and chips at five guys due to peer pressure. I still haven’t mentally recovered.

Jesus is God It also applies to the tetragrammaton, or YHWH. Interesting story behind that, used to be translated as JHVH or “Jehovah”
- Comment on Why would an all loving god create hell? 1 week ago:
Good cannot exist without evil, though. And objective morality cannot exist without a law giver. At best, this is a paradox.

Christianity isn’t about how you spell God’s name. In fact, as you said, He spoke three different languages. Why would it matter so much to Him if He never made a point about it.
- Comment on Why would an all loving god create hell? 1 week ago:
Because it wasn’t an uncommon name. It’s exactly the same name as Joshua in it’s original language.

Culture. The translation is so popularised now that the only people who call Him Yeshua are restorationist hippies

We literally have manuscripts of the Bible that are dated over a millenia before that date. The Bible wasn’t written in English or Latin. The new testament was written in Koine Greek. Jesus’ name is Ἰησοῦς.
Here is the Bible compared to the original text, your requested source of research.
In fact, Jesus name doesn’t begin with J in most languages.
In Arabic, it is Isa. In Chinese, it is Yesu. It was originally “Yeshua” (using latin characters to represent the greek and hebrew)
Yeshua travelled east and became Yesu, then the Y was dropped in some places. Esu to Isa as the vowels warped.
It gained an S on the end and traveled west, would have been pronounced Yesus, as J was pronounced equally to Y… until it wasn’t in English. Kinda like José in Spanish is pronounced like Yosé. So when it was written down, Jesus became pronounced Jesus.

The threat of punishments stop people from doing things. God told Adam and Eve that if they ate that fruit, they will surely die. They did it anyway. Hell exists to discourage us from sinning, yet allowing us free will, still. But we still chose to sin. So we’re damned.

There’s no scriptural references I know of off the top of my head about increasing and decreasing feelings. But if you have some, please share.
Because God is all perfect, so God is all loving, but also perfectly Just. A loving God would set the reward to be to bring His children to him, but imperfect children cannot be in His presence, as God is also perfectly Just, so sin needs to be punished. Because sin transgresses God greatly, it cannot be erased by doing the right thing. We always have to do the right thing regardless. You cannot make a fine for running a red light go away because you stopped at the next three red lights. You need to pay with something above the road- driving. So the payment for our sin is above this world.
God is all loving, so 2000 years ago, he became incarnate as a man and lived as one of us. He ended up suffering, dying and He was buried. He lived a perfect life - the life we should have lived. Yet he died the death we deserved, and descended into Hell for three days. A perfect sacrifice was made. Now, all heaven requires is simply renouncing our allegiance to sin and turning it back to God.
