33. Acts 7:26 The next day
Acts 7:26 And the next day he shewed himself unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another? [kjv]
τη τε επιουση ημερα ωφθη αυτοις μαχομενοις και συνηλλασσεν αυτους εις ειρηνην ειπων ανδρες αδελφοι εστε ινα τι αδικειτε αλληλους [gnt]
Another viewpoint: The ancient Greek word
"ἐπιούσιος" ≈ "following day" from the shortening of the phrase
"ἡ ἐπῐοῦσᾰ ἡμέρᾱ" ≈ "the following day". Examples:
34. Acts 7:26
KJV: And the next day he shewed himself unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another?
Greek: τη τε επιουση ημερα ωφθη αυτοις μαχομενοις και συνηλασεν συνηλλασσεν αυτους εις ειρηνην ειπων ανδρες αδελφοι εστε υμεις ινα τι αδικειτε αλληλους

36. Acts 16:11
KJV: Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis;

38. Acts 20:15
KJV: And we sailed thence, and came the next day over against Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium; and the next day we came to Miletus.
Greek: κακειθεν αποπλευσαντες τη επιουση κατηντησαμεν αντικρυ αντικρυς χιου τη δε ετερα παρεβαλομεν εις σαμον και μειναντες εν τρωγυλλιω τη δε εχομενη ηλθομεν εις μιλητον

The Greek is that of the
"night" of the
"next day".
42. Acts 23:11
KJV: And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
Greek: τη δε επιουση νυκτι επιστας αυτω ο κυριος ειπεν θαρσει παυλε ως γαρ διεμαρτυρω τα περι εμου εις ιερουσαλημ ουτως σε δει και εις ρωμην μαρτυρησαι
43. Proverbs 3:28

μη ειπης επανελθων επανηκε και αυριον δωσω δυνατου σου οντος ευ ποιειν ου γαρ οιδας τι τεξεται η επιουσα [lxx]
Might this be related in some way to the parable of the friend at Midnight in Luke 11?
44. Proverbs 3:28
KJV: Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
Hebrew: אל תאמר לרעיך לך ושוב ומחר אתן ויש אתך׃
Greek: μη ειπης επανελθων επανηκε και αυριον δωσω δυνατου σου οντος ευ ποιειν ου γαρ οιδας τι τεξεται η επιουσα
45. Proverbs 27:1
Proverbs 27:1 Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. [kjv]
μη καυχω τα εις αυριον ου γαρ γινωσκεις τι τεξεται η επιουσα [lxx]
The
ancient Greek word
"αὔριον" ≈ "tomorrow, soon" as in the "
dawn".
The
modern Greek word
"αύριο" (AV-ree-o) ≈ "tomorrow".
Hebrew parallelism will use the same idea expressed two different ways so that the meaning is more clear.
[redundancy in error correcting codes, fault tolerance in computer systems, etc.]
46. Proverbs 27:1
KJV: Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
Hebrew: אל תתהלל ביום מחר כי לא תדע מה ילד יום׃
Greek: μη καυχω τα εις αυριον ου γαρ γινωσκεις τι τεξεται η επιουσα
47. Matthew 6:11 Definitions
Matthew 6:11 Give us this day our daily bread. [kjv]
τον αρτον ημων τον επιουσιον δος ημιν σημερον [gnt]
*G1967 *2 ἐπιούσιος (ep-ee-oo'-see-os) : perhaps from the same as G1966; tomorrow's; but more probably from G1909 and a derivative of the present participle feminine of G1510; for subsistence, i.e. needful:--daily.
*G1966 *5 ἐπιούσα (ep-ee-oo'-sah) : feminine singular participle of a comparative of G1909 and heimi (to go); supervening, i.e. (2250 or G3571 being expressed or implied) the ensuing day or night:--following, next.
These words appear to be the same word with a different inflection (ending).
The ancient Greek word
"ἐπιούσιος" ≈ "following day" from the shortening of the phrase
"ἡ ἐπῐοῦσᾰ ἡμέρᾱ" ≈ "the following day". [
pizza pie,
turkey bird]
The early church fathers did not think it made sense. So they decided to change
"tomorrow" to
"today". How can we ask to have
"tomorrow's" "bread" "today"? Does that even make sense?
48. Matthew 6:11 Daily bread
Matthew 6:11 Give us this day our daily bread. [kjv]
τον αρτον ημων τον επιουσιον δος ημιν σημερον [gnt]
Here is the English using the Greek word order.
Greek as agreed: The bread of ours the today (bread) give us today.
Greek not understood: The bread of ours the tomorrow (bread) give us today.
How can we ask to have
"tomorrow's" "bread" "today"? Does that even make sense?
The early church fathers did not think it made sense. So they decided to change
"tomorrow" to
"today". A few associated it with (the verse before that says) "
thy kingdom come" (at some time in the future).
49. Yesterday
Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. [kjv]
ιησους χριστος εχθες και σημερον ο αυτος και εις τους αιωνας [gnt]
… hodie ipse … saecula [v]
… yistirdai… dai… into worldis. [wy]
… yesterdaye … daye … continueth for ever. [ty]
… gestern … heute … Ewigkeit. [lu]
Has God changed? Does God change? How would a God who is outside of time and space change? What about Jesus? If Jesus is God, would not the same reasoning apply?
The Latin word
"hodie" ≈ "today" and is from
"hoc" ≈ "this"and
"die" ≈ "day".
50. The dream of delayed procrastination
Never put off till tomorrow, what you can do the day after tomorrow.
Mark Twain (Author and Humorist, alias Samuel Clemens)
Modern saying:
I used to crastinate. I got so good at it I decided to go pro. [eager vs. lazy evaluation]
One can always go backwards in time.
Today, I'm doing nothing because I started doing it yesterday and I wasn't finished.
Don't give up on dreams. Go back to bed.
Why was the funeral for the man who invented Tupperware delayed?
It took a while to find the right lid for his coffin. While you are coughing (coffin) about this joke, you are probably thinking I should put a lid on it.

51. GNU: GNU is Not UNIX
GNU (GNU is Not Unix) is a platform for Unix/Linux tools such as the C or C++ compilers used in some beginning programming courses. The C compiler often used in an introductory programming course is
gcc which stands for
GNU C Compiler.
GNU is a
recursively defined acronym (of
infinite regress) where the following holds, using parentheses to show the expansion.
GNU =
(GNU is Not Unix) =
((GNU is Not Unix) is Not Unix) =
(((GNU is Not Unix) is Not Unix) is Not Unix) =
...
Some see this as cute without any useful meaning. The general approach here is that of a
string rewriting system (e.g., text formatter).
52. ASK: ASK Seek Knock
The model that can be used is that of
ASK (ASK Seek Knock) from the verses in Matthew and Luke.
ASK is a
recursively defined acronym (of
infinite regress) where the following holds, using parentheses to show the expansion.
ASK =
(ASK Seek Knock) =
((ASK Seek Knock) Seek Knock) =
(((ASK Seek Knock) Seek Knock) Seek Knock) =
...
Some see this as cute without any useful meaning. The general approach here is that of a
string rewriting system (e.g., text formatter).
As one continues, one should be continually seeking His righteousness and knocking (in the Kingdom of Heaven) to see if others want to start the same path, until the final knock to the Kingdom of God.
53. Zeno's paradox
In ancient times, Aristotle relates how Zeno's proof that "
motion is impossible", called Zeno's paradox, is flawed since it can easily be demonstrated incorrect by moving.
When Greek philosopher
"Διογένης Λαέρτιος," ≈ "Diogenes Laertius" heard the claim, he got up and walked away to demonstrate that the claim was invalid. [math class and limits]
It took over 2,000 years, with the discovery and use of calculus, to be able to actually prove that what Zeno claimed to proved was not valid.
English: For it is possible for a man to show that a false conclusion has been reached without showing on what point it turns, as, for instance, in Zeno's argument that motion is impossible. (Loeb #400, p. 123)
Greek: ἐγχωρεῖ γὰρ ὅτι μὲν ψεῦδος συλλελόγισται δεῖξαί τινα, παρ´ ὃ δὲ μὴ δεῖξαι, οἷον τὸν Ζήνωνος λόγον, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστι κινηθῆναι. [179b]
54. Aristotle and babbling
In chapter 13 of Aristotle's
Sophistic Refutations, Aristotle talks of making people "
babbling" through logical arguments. What Aristotle says here does not appear to be fully understood by those translating but is in line with text formatting, string rewriting systems, self-reference,
infinite regress, etc.
55. Aristotle: Sophistic Refutations
English: … Next, as to making people babble, we have already said what we mean by this term. Arguments of the following kind all have this end in view; If it makes no difference whether one uses the term or the definition of it, and "double" and "double of half" are the same thing, then if "double" is "double of half", it will be "double of double of half"; and if "double of half" be substituted again for "double", there will be a triple repetition, "double of half of half of half". Again, is not "desire" "desire of pleasure"? Now "desire is an appetite for pleasure": therefore "desire is an appetite for pleasure of pleasure". (Loeb#100, p. 75)
Greek: … Περὶ δὲ τοῦ ποιῆσαι ἀδολεσχεῖν, ὃ μὲν λέγομεν τὸ ἀδολεσχεῖν εἰρήκαμεν ἤδη· πάντες δὲ οἱ τοιοίδε λόγοι τοῦτο βούλονται ποιεῖν· εἰ μηδὲν διαφέρει τὸ ὄνομα ἢ τὸν λόγον εἰπεῖν, διπλάσιον δὴ καὶ διπλάσιον ἡμίσεος ταὐτό· εἰ ἄρα ἐστὶ διπλάσιον ἡμίσεος διπλάσιον, ἔσται ἡμίσεος ἡμίσεος διπλάσιον. Καὶ πάλιν ἂν ἀντὶ τοῦ "διπλάσιον" "διπλάσιον ἡμίσεος" τεθῇ, τρὶς ἔσται εἰρημένον, ἡμίσεος ἡμίσεος ἡμίσεος διπλάσιον. Καὶ ἆρά ἐστιν ἡ ἐπιθυμία ἡδέος; τοῦτο δ´ ἐστὶν ὄρεξις ἡδέος· ἔστιν ἄρα ἡ ἐπιθυμία ὄρεξις ἡδέος ἡδέος. Aristotle: Sophistic Refutations [173b]
This is the idea of the recursive acronyms
ASK and
GNU as a
string rewriting system.
"ὄρεξις" ≈ "yearning, longing, desire, appetite" and is the source of the English word "anorexia".
"ὀρέγω" ≈ "reach, stretch".
56. Aristotle: Sophistic Refutations
Here is what Aristotle is describing. Aristotle uses a word for
substitute which is the fundamental idea of a
string rewriting system.
Definition 1. "desire" = "desire" of "pleasure".
Definition 2. "desire" = "appetite" for "pleasure".
Substitute RHS (Right Hand Side) of 2 into "desire" of the RHS of 1.
Incorrect definition (result) 3: "desire" = ("appetite" for "pleasure") of "pleasure" (from the translator)
Correct definition (result) 3: ... more to be added ...
This is the same idea as
GNU and
ASK. The idea of
relative terms is that of
equations where one phrase or definition is
relative to a term. This example as translated does
not appear to result in an
infinite regress.
Note: The translator appears to have not understood what Aristotle was saying, in terms of string-rewriting substitutions, and did not translated the Greek properly. In 1955, the field of computer science did not exist as such and, even if it did, those skilled in ancient Greek translation would probably not have a good background in programming language theory.
57. Aristotle: Sophistic Refutations
To get the
infinite regress, go back to the general statement of the method.
D = D H = (D H) H = ( (D H) H) H ...
Definition 1: "double" = "double" of "half".
Substitute the RHS of 1 into the RHS of 1.
Definition (result) 2: "double" = ("double" of "half") of "half".
Substitute the RHS of 1 into the RHS of 1.
Definition (result) 3: "double" = (("double" of "half") of "half") of "half".
Substitute the RHS of 1 into the RHS of 1.
Definition (result) 4: "double" = ((("double" of "half") of "half") of "half") of "half".
This is the general idea of the recursive acronyms
ASK and
GNU as a
string rewriting system.
58. Grammar analogy
The same effect, or language recognized, can be expressed as the following (left recursive) grammar in
EBNF (Extended Backus Naur Form) form.
D = D H
= (D H) H
= ((D H) H) H
...
Removing the parentheses results in the following result.
D H H H H ...
This simple example can be expressed as a
RE (Regular Expression) as follows.
pure RE: DHH*
extended RE: DH+
All examples result in an
infinite regress.
A top-down parser (e.g., recursive descent) will not recognize a finite sequence of symbols using this grammar (without taking special precautions).
A bottom-up parser (e.g., table-driven such as LALR) will recognize a finite sequence of symbols using this grammar.
Note: Generation is not the same as recognition, but the ideas may help understand the concepts involved.
... more to be added ...
59. Chomsky Language hierarchy
Noam Chomsky influenced how computer science approached computer programming language notations, grammars, etc.
Is language in the brain? How does it get there?
Chomsky grammar hierarchy:
0: Unrestricted grammar (Turing machines)
1: Context sensitive grammar (linear bounded automata)
2: Context free grammar (push down automata as in most programming language features, last first, first last)
3: Regular grammar (finite automata as in regular expression pattern matching)
Parsing: top-down, bottom-up, code-driven, table-driven, deterministic, non-deterministic, etc.
60. Aristotle: Sophistic Refutations
Here is Aristotle's definition of
"babbling".
English: They number five: refutation, fallacy, paradox, solecism, and, fifthly, the reduction of one's opponent to a state of babbling, that is, making him to say the same thing over and over again; or, if not the reality, at any rate the appearance of each of these things.. (Loeb#100, p. 17)
Greek: Ἔστι δὲ πέντε ταῦτα τὸν ἀριθμόν, ἔλεγχος καὶ ψεῦδος καὶ παράδοξον καὶ σολοικισμὸς καὶ πέμπτον τὸ ποιῆσαι ἀδολεσχῆσαι τὸν προσδιαλεγόμενον (τοῦτο δ´ ἐστὶ τὸ πολλάκις ἀναγκάζεσθαι ταὐτὸ λέγειν), ἢ τὸ μὴ ὂν ἀλλὰ [τὸ] φαινόμενον ἕκαστον εἶναι τούτων. Aristotle: Sophistic Refutations [166a]
A repetition of what is substituted, over and over again, is that of
"babbling". This word is derived from
"ἄδολος" ≈ "guileless, honest, simple". It is not clear how Aristotle developed this word for this purpose.
The word for a
logical "refutation" is the ancient Greek word
"ἐλέγχω" ≈ "disgrace, question, test" which is from the ancient Greek word
"ἔλεγχος" ≈ "refute, reproach" as in providing an
argument of disproof. The Latin word
"arguo" ≈ "clarify, show, reprove, blame" and is the source of the English word
"argument". The
KJV (King James Version) usually translates this word as
"reproof".
61. Eternal bread
Let the terms (terminals) of a grammar be as follows.
BT = bread today
TB = tomorrow's bread
Let us define the variables of a grammar as follows. That is, give us the bread the next day (tomorrow's bread) today, in addition to the bread today.
BT = BT TB
Then the following results from repeated substitution.
BT
= BT TB
= (BT TB) TB
= ((BT TB) TB) TB
...
This is the same idea as
GNU and
ASK. That is, an
infinite regress. If bread represents life, then the
infinite regress can represent
eternal life.
62. Infinite regress build
Is it actually "
infinite"?
It is actually an
approximation that is
potentially "
infinite".
How many times do you need to be "
saved"?
63. Infinite regress build
Do you see the
infinite regress? Do you see a connection to the following?
Matthew 6:11 Give us this day our daily bread. (as usually translated)
Matthew 6:11 Give us the tomorrow's bread today. (Greek words translated)
Matthew 6:11 Give us the infinite (living) bread today. (recursive induction to infinite regress)
[structural induction, infinite regress]
64. Proverb saying to live forever
An ancient sage once told his pupil, "
There are only two things you need to do to live forever"
The pupil asks, "What are they?" The sage replied:
"Number one. You must never lie." The pupil agrees.
"Number two. You must repeat this saying tomorrow."
Do you see the
infinite regress? Do you see a connection to the following?
Matthew 6:11 Give us this day our daily bread. (as usually translated)
Matthew 6:11Give us tomorrow's bread today. (Greek words translated)
Matthew 6:11 Give us the infinite (living) bread today. (recursive induction to infinite regress)
65. Hilbert's hotel paradox
Mathematician
David Hilbert (1862-1943) invented the idea of an
infinite hotel. In the abstract theory of the infinite, it is always possible to accommodate an
infinite number of new guests.
Give us tomorrow's bread/room today/now. Note: Instead of doubling, add one for one new guest. Then, reverse the logic.
Why is there always time to listen to a cello suite?
There's always room for cello. Unlike a guitar, with a violin, viola, cello, etc., there is nothing to fret about.
[give way, make room]
66. Inns and dogs
There was no room in the inn or guest room.
Like Hilbert's infinite hotel paradox (which never runs out of rooms), there is always room in the "dog house".

Give us tomorrow's bread/room today/now.
67. Matthew 6:11 Daily bread
Matthew 6:11 Give us this day our daily bread. [kjv]
τον αρτον ημων τον επιουσιον δος ημιν σημερον [gnt]
Here is the English using the Greek word order.
Greek as agreed: The bread of ours the today (bread) give us today.
Greek not understood: The bread of ours the tomorrow (bread) give us today.
68. Exodus 16:29 Tomorrow's bread today
Exodus 16:29 See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day. [kjv]
ιδετε ο γαρ κυριος εδωκεν υμιν την ημεραν ταυτην τα σαββατα δια τουτο αυτος εδωκεν υμιν τη ημερα τη εκτη αρτους δυο ημερων καθησεσθε εκαστος εις τους οικους υμων μηδεις εκπορευεσθω εκ του τοπου αυτου τη ημερα τη εβδομη [lxx]
There is a
precedent for getting
tomorrow's "bread" today.
The "
Sabbath" and
"bread" and the
"hidden" "manna" are related in interesting ways.

69. Exodus 16:29
KJV: See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.
Hebrew: ראו כי יהוה נתן לכם השבת על כן הוא נתן לכם ביום הששי לחם יומים שבו איש תחתיו אל יצא איש ממקמו ביום השביעי׃
Greek: ιδετε ο γαρ κυριος εδωκεν υμιν την ημεραν ταυτην τα σαββατα δια τουτο αυτος εδωκεν υμιν τη ημερα τη εκτη αρτους δυο ημερων καθησεσθε εκαστος εις τους οικους υμων μηδεις εκπορευεσθω εκ του τοπου αυτου τη ημερα τη εβδομη

*H4478 מָן (mawn) : from H4100; literally, a whatness (so to speak), i.e. manna (so called from the question about it):--manna.

ιδοντες δε αυτο οι υιοι ισραηλ ειπαν ετερος τω ετερω τι εστιν τουτο ου γαρ ηδεισαν τι ην ειπεν δε μωυσης προς αυτους ουτος ο αρτος ον εδωκεν κυριος υμιν φαγειν [lxx]
And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, What is this? for they knew not what it was; and Moses said to them, [bs3]
The Hebrew for
"what is it?" became the word for
"manna". Have you been offered the
"infinite bread" or
"living bread"? Do you say
"what is it"?
If
"manna" represents the
"bread" of "
life", then the Israelites wanted more. They wanted
"birds"! How appropriate is that? They wanted an "

false leader)
in place of an "
eye" (

74. Mammon play on words
75. Revelation 2:17 Hidden manna
Revelation 2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. [kjv]
What is the "
hidden manna"? Might it be the "
living"
"bread"? How can
"manna" be
perverted.
The "n" sound (Hebrew) represents "faithfulness", "fish".
The "m" sound (Hebrew) represents "water", "physical existence".
What happens if the "
n" sound is changed to the "
m" sound?
"mama" as in the harlot queen of Babylon.
"ammo" as a Greek play on words with "sand" as a "house" built on "sand".
"mammon" as a confidence in one's own abilities instead of a trust in God.
76. Revelation 2:17 Hidden manna
Revelation 2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. [kjv]
ο εχων ους ακουσατω τι το πνευμα λεγει ταις εκκλησιαις τω νικωντι δωσω αυτω του μαννα του κεκρυμμενου και δωσω αυτω ψηφον λευκην και επι την ψηφον ονομα καινον γεγραμμενον ο ουδεις οιδεν ει μη ο λαμβανων [gnt]
RC3, Pergamus, relates to
KP3, mustard seed and tree and birds, and
TC8 stealing. The Greek word for
"hidden", in this form, appears only in
two other places, in Matthew, in the kingdom parables.
KP4: Right after (part of) the Leaven (false doctrine) mixed in with true doctrine. The "false" "dead" "bread".
KP5: Treasure hid in a field. The "true" "living" "bread".
That
"living" "bread" is part of the Lord's Prayer in Matthew. That aspect was
changed at the historical time of KP4 with limited reprieve at the historical time of KP5. Thus, it is
"hidden" "manna".
77. Hidden manna
The Greek word for
"hidden" as in
"hidden" "manna" or
"bread" appears only in
two places in Matthew, in the kingdom parables.
KP4 : Right after (part of) the Leaven (false doctrine) mixed or hid in with true doctrine. The "false" "dead" "bread".
KP5 : Treasure hid in a field. The "true" "living" "bread".
The "
living"
"bread" is in Matthew 6:11 (step
5 of seven):
Give us tomorrow's bread today. (eternal "living" "bread")
Give us today our daily bread. (the worldly "bread", adjusted by theologians, etc., to be more appropriate)
78. Salt of the earth and the bread of life
John 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. [kjv]
ειπεν αυτοις ο ιησους εγω ειμι ο αρτος της ζωης ο ερχομενος προς εμε ου μη πειναση και ο πιστευων εις εμε ου μη διψησει πωποτε [gnt]
6:48 I am that bread of life. [kjv]
εγω ειμι ο αρτος της ζωης [gnt]
Perhaps the
"salt" of the "
earth" meaning is as simple as going with the
"bread" of "
life". The English saying "
bread and butter" might be expressed in the Middle East as "
bread and salt".
The Old English
"hlaf" and Gothic
"hlaifs" is the origin of the word "
Lord" for the protector of the bread, the sustainer of life.
79. John 6:35 Bread of life
John 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. [kjv]
ειπεν αυτοις ο ιησους εγω ειμι ο αρτος της ζωης ο ερχομενος προς εμε ου μη πειναση και ο πιστευων εις εμε ου μη διψησει πωποτε [gnt]
Why is the bread of life eternal like the Son?
The bread is like the sun in that it rises in the yeast and sets in the waist.
Are fat cells saved?
Brain cells die, skin cells die, but fat cells must have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior because they seem to have eternal life.
80. John 6:48 Bread of life induction
John 6:48 I am that bread of life. [kjv]
εγω ειμι ο αρτος της ζωης [gnt]
Can you see the following?
Give us tomorrow's bread today.
Give us eternal (infinite) bread (life) today.
Give us tomorrow's bread today.
By induction, this moves each bread up one day.
Now, tomorrow's bread includes the bread of the day after tomorrow.
And so on. Do you see the infinite regress?
Computer science is the search for finite representations of (potentially) infinite objects.
Have you ever heard a pastor say that humans cannot comprehend infinite things?
81. Matthew 5:23-24 Gift at the alter
Matthew 5:23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; [kjv]
5:24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. [kjv]
There are two main events or competitions.
Great Commission (what Jesus wants you to do)
Gifts on the altar (what birds want you to do)
Which is the most important event or competition?
Which is just a shadow of an event or competition?
82. Matthew 5:26 Last payment
Matthew 5:26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. [kjv]
αμην λεγω σοι ου μη εξελθης εκειθεν εως αν αποδως τον εσχατον κοδραντην [gnt]
Paraphrase:
Truly, they will require payments (offerings) of you forever so that you [out of hope] cannot go out (to do what Jesus wants you to do). [Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz]
Payment plans:
Give us today our daily bread. (infinite payments, never be done)
Give us tomorrow's (eternal infinite) bread (life) today. (100% down today, no more payments)
You are now ready to go out and do the work that Jesus wants you to do.

The devil quotes scripture. Jesus detects the deception and quotes back scripture in context. Context is important!
