AI Overview                 

The Old Testament law requires two or three witnesses to establish any charge or crime. A single witness is not enough to convict someone or carry out a punishment like the death penalty.

Key Bible Passages

Deuteronomy 17:6: On the testimony of two or three witnesses ... states that no one can be put to death based on a single witness.

Deuteronomy 19:15: The Testimony of Two or Three Witnesses explains that a matter must be set by two or three witnesses.

Numbers 35:30: Repeats that a person can be put to death on the word of witnesses, but no one dies based on just one witness.

Why the Law Exists

Stops lies: It keeps people from making false claims against others.

Protects the innocent: It lowers the chance of punishing an innocent person.

Brings truth: Corroboration ensures fairness in legal matters.

​​@MarcInTbilisi I wonder when Megan is going to mod me to protect me from these men who cannot take TLM like adults. Should she be nannying men in arrested adolescence?

********************************

There is beauty in Creation, and every YouTube video is an act of creation. What do you wish to create, Megan? I want to create opportunities for people to challenge the current political orthodoxy to improve government for Westerners and even to facilitate imperial reform. This means having to analyse the meaning of words which for some reason TLC men hate because they hate to define terms. I am  thinking in particular of Luke Thompson who basically just wants to believe what he wants to believe claiming he is righteous even though he uses no sound arguments. I do not believe such men should be pandered to and indulged. To do so is to create even more distance from the Truth, Logic and Morality necessary to solve and avoid problems. 

There is such a subject called analytic philosophy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytic_philosophy

23:00  Is TLC truth-seeking?

Who is our friend? At the very least they are people well-intentioned towards us or have the appearance of being well-intentioned to us whether or not they share our values.

34:00  If we want a dialogue, we must have someone else to have a dialogue with, whether or not they agree with us.

37:00  A good friend should not value your goodwill over what is in fact Truth, Logic and Morality because he then becomes a panderer and a flatterer.

38:00  Stefanie is fortunate to be married to a straight talking man. Straight talking men in the West are becoming extinct.

40:00   When we speak what we believe to be the truth to people we feel are our friends, they are mostly confessions. We have to trust that they won't take it against us and use our confessions against us.

Beware of men who cannot defend their beliefs  with facts and logic. 

1:12:00  Surely atheists and adherents of the Abrahamic religions can agree with confidence that the concept of the Abrahamic certainly exists?

1:18:00  THE TELEOLOGICAL APPROACH TO GOD

If God exists, we should obey Him.

If God is a creation of Man, He was created for a reason and that reason still exists: to make us respect the eugenic practice of marriage ie to maintain and protect the patriarchy. 

In a patriarchy, we have a better chance of solving and avoiding problems with facts and logic. In a matriarchy, we get cancelled the moment we offend the matriarchal orthodoxy which will always be stupid, insane or evil. 

Either way, we have to obey the rule of law for the sake of our group, tribe, nation, society, empire and civilisation.  

1:34:42

@stefaniecristos8514

​​What if you cross your fingers while you recite the creed?

Wow, that's such a fascinating theological question, Stefanie! 

I wonder if that is what Unitairan Sam Tideman does in his Trinitarian church, or  does he just stay silent?

1:42:00  Theology is incredibly important if you want to be reasonably certain that you are worshiping the correct deity correctly since not to worship the correct deity correctly means you are guilty of idolatry, which is a mortal sin making you Hell-bound.

The matriarchy does not want us to take theology seriously or believe in the afterlife where good will be rewarded and evil punished because that would create principled men prepared to defend their religious principles. Instead, Western governments have been making Christians to all intents and purposes think and behave like atheists through their validating of cultural Christianity. 

Cultural Christians are basically people who do not worship the Trinity or even believe in God and the afterlife. 

Atheists and nihilists can only be motivated by carrot and stick, like cattle, making them easy to bribe and threaten. 

1:44:48

@stefaniecristos8514

​​And we all have theology, whether we like it or not.

Yes, we all have our different perceptions of God. 

1:49:00  I like a good sermon too. 

1:50:00  We all want our politics to be supported by our religion or secular political ideology.

1:51:00  Should we be more loyal to our principles than our government? Surely that would depend on what principles our governments have? Does our prevailing political orthodoxy have any moral foundation? If so, what is it?

2:03:00  Orthodox Christianity is a camouflage for White Nationalists.

2:05:00 Mormons are a category of Christian. Mormonism is perceived as a religion that is both white and uniquely American.  

2:22:00  Ron should stop chasing the "woo" which does him more harm than good. There are already rational reasons for believing that cannot be falsified, so why keep chasing the woo? 

2:28:00  Jews and gentiles are supposed to worship the same God and certainly conceive of Him in the same way. 

2:54:00  The Koran actually specifically and explicitly forbids suicide.

If you claim Jesus is God, you should be able to entertain the idea of mortal sin and Hell
