Daniel P. Barron

Poor Jewish Crypto Beggar: So what's your church compound like
Daniel: it's not a compound
Poor Jewish Crypto Beggar: lmao ⁱ not yet
Poor Jewish Crypto Beggar: I recommend looking into a pyramid
Daniel: it's more like a small neighborhood
Poor Jewish Crypto Beggar: You should build a monument to God
Daniel: why?
Poor Jewish Crypto Beggar: Beautify the earth
Poor Jewish Crypto Beggar: Make god's presence known.
Daniel: we do that with our good conduct ⁱⁱ
Poor Jewish Crypto Beggar: i like physical presence
Poor Jewish Crypto Beggar: people are less inclined to question divinity when you're utop a tower
Daniel: Numbers 33:52
Scripture: Numbers 33:52 - New King James Version (NKJV)

<52> then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, destroy all their engraved stones, destroy all their molded images, and demolish all their high places;

Poor Jewish Crypto Beggar: is this to say we can't make our own?
Daniel: 1 kings 3:2-3
Scripture: 1 Kings 3:2-3 - New King James Version (NKJV)

<2> Meanwhile the people sacrificed at the high places, because there was no house built for the name of the Lord until those days. <3> And Solomon loved the Lord, walking in the statutes of his father David, except that he sacrificed and burned incense at the high places.

Poor Jewish Crypto Beggar: God for sure shattered something near where I live
Poor Jewish Crypto Beggar: we have odd black stones that have sharp angles and make metallic sounds
Poor Jewish Crypto Beggar: I believe there's a lot of things that god has erased from the world
Daniel: 1 Kings 13:33
Scripture: 1 Kings 13:33 - New King James Version (NKJV)

<33> After this event Jeroboam did not turn from his evil way, but again he made priests from every class of people for the high places; whoever wished, he consecrated him, and he became one of the priests of the high places.

Poor Jewish Crypto Beggar: Have you read the writings of king solomon
Daniel: aha here's a good one for what you suggested 2 Kings 17:9
Scripture: 2 Kings 17:9 - New King James Version (NKJV)

<9> Also the children of Israel secretly did against the Lord their God things that were not right, and they built for themselves high places in all their cities, from watchtower to fortified city.

Poor Jewish Crypto Beggar: so god doesn't like towers?
Poor Jewish Crypto Beggar: What about caves. Dwelling in the earth
Daniel: i don't think all towers are necessarily bad; it depends on the reason for it
Daniel: like I don't think it's wrong to build cell towers to make wireless networks
Poor Jewish Crypto Beggar: Except those literally cause cancer
Daniel: i don't think that's true
Poor Jewish Crypto Beggar: Radio receivers and transformer coils are solomonic demon sigils LOL
Poor Jewish Crypto Beggar: The Amish aren't too far off
Joëlle♀:

So what's your church compound like

The casual manner in which he asked this question is amusing
Daniel: interestingly, New Jerusalem will be so large that it should be seen from space.
Daniel: a lot of people assume we live on a compound
Poor Jewish Crypto Beggar: I wonder what it'll look like
Joëlle♀: Lit
Daniel: you don't have to wonder. It's described in Revelation 21:14-21
Scripture: Revelation 21:14-21 - New King James Version (NKJV)

<14> Now the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. <15> And he who talked with me had a gold reed to measure the city, its gates, and its wall. <16> The city is laid out as a square; its length is as great as its breadth. And he measured the city with the reed: twelve thousand furlongs. Its length, breadth, and height are equal. <17> Then he measured its wall: one hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. <18> The construction of its wall was of jasper; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass. <19> The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones: the first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, <20> the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. <21> The twelve gates were twelve pearls: each individual gate was of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.

Joëlle♀: With God's glory :D
Daniel: it's a perfect cube, twelve thousand furlongs cubed
Poor Jewish Crypto Beggar: It's going to be in australia
Daniel: that's 1500 miles cubed
Poor Jewish Crypto Beggar: Where could it fit
Daniel: on the new earth
Poor Jewish Crypto Beggar: the new earth
Poor Jewish Crypto Beggar: you realize this all happened before and again right
Daniel: no, I don't realize that
Poor Jewish Crypto Beggar: God doesn't tell us which earth we are, does he
Daniel: He says there will be no more pain after this. So then it can't have been like that before as we clearly have pain
Poor Jewish Crypto Beggar: so we're that much closer to perfection
Daniel: you are adding in your own weird philosophies. Try reading Scripture more
Poor Jewish Crypto Beggar: how could the imperfect be without suffering
Daniel: Proverbs 3:5
Scripture: Proverbs 3:5 - New King James Version (NKJV)

<5> Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;

Poor Jewish Crypto Beggar: for all the many that verse has gotten killed, it will save a few

   12 having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation.

   16 having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed.
