LET US APPRECIATE THE DIVINE NATION THAT HAD ALL STUNNED BY ITS GLORY. Byzantium is the greatest nation in medieval and late antique history, and will always be! Post wonders, brilliant rulers, and achievements that this empire had. BARBARIAN HATERS LEAVE
>last a thousand years
>entire thousand years is a linear descent downward
"Ancient Rome" = "Troy" = "Byzantium"
>>787892
That's not even true. The byzantines were literally the most powerful naval super power in the Mediterranean until the last few centuries of their existence. They reconquered lost land dozens of times.

A Chinese children's book which I forgot the name of about the history of ancient Greece.
There were ancient Greeks who used giant flying leather balloon weapons, gigantic mirror ray weapons and super catapults described in this book.
I thought ancient Greek inventors like Archimedes were basically evil geniuses and that's pretty awesome.

Has anyone else noticed that while Protestants maintain a Nestorian Christology, they seem to have an almost monophysite perspective on the authorship of Scripture? While the Orthodox (and the Roman Catholics afaik) see the authorship of Scripture as "100% man and 100% God", Protestants seem to think God just dictated it directly, as opposed to inspired it.

>a Nestorian Christology
No
>almost monophysite perspective on the authorship of Scripture
I don't understand, monophysitism is about the nature of Christ
Most Protestants are not biblical literalists.
>>787418
>Nestorian
>Monophysite
Don't you have a stake you should be burning on, heretics?
>>787474
>No
Sure, any Protestant who says Mary is the Mother of the human Jesus but not the God Jesus.
>I don't understand, monophysitism is about the nature of Christ
It's the idea that Christ had no humanity, but was just divine. I think you understand what I mean when applying that conception to Scripture.
>Most Protestants are not biblical literalists.
Most that aren't super liberal are, yeah
Is it wrong to kill someone?
How much do ethics even matter?
Whats the point in life besides stimulating your immediate desires?
Raskolnikov pls

>is it wrong to kill someone?
Yes. There are circumstances when it can be permissible, but I won't tell you what those circumstances are, because the best way to avoid an unjust killing is to be unsure of yourself and not go through with it at all. If you need to kill someone no matter what, you'll do it no matter what I tell you.

Quite a bit.

To worship God alone, and follow his commandments.
I need to know everything there is to know about the Kingdom of Poland - not just as a political entity but the culture and attitudes that dominated the region at the time.

Don't mean to hijack the focus, but I think that the Genovese+Venetians did more for mainland Greece and its islands than the Byzantine Empire with its focus on Constantinople and Anatolia ever did.
So we all know the hostilities between turkey and Russia, not only with ISIS but with religious (russia is heavily orthodox and turkey owns Constantinople) so if Russia invaded turkey, would nato get involved? Would it spell a Third World War? Comment what you think would happen.
