Even if it was truly was, humans are still faillible:

• the texts are transcripted thousands of times, and errors made during transcriptions are eventually reproduced.
• the texts can be modified voluntarily during retranscriptions, maliciously or not.
• parts of texts are lost and found again.
• texts reference other extinct texts or what was considered common knowledge that was not written down. So we can only infer from there.
• Hebrew uses an abjab alphabet, which means no vowels, so certain written words can be different depending on what vowels you ascribe to them.
• texts are translated by people with biases and objectives as to what it should convey (like the US Evangelicals with the NIV).
• etc.

So even if the original text was given divinely, it would end up being distorted.

This is why I'm not comfortable saying the Bible is okay with abortion. It can be interpreted that way, for sure, but it's not a definite statement.

It really feels like Reddit circa-2023, particularly the bad ways. Lemmy.world is the worst for that.

It might, but that's not enough to say the Bible is okay with abortions, and the rest of the texts might contradict that interpretation anyway. The NIV is pretty unique in translating directly into miscarry. If I search for those passages in English right now on search engines, I'm not even guaranteed to end up on that version, it took me a few tries.

I'm guessing this is the New International Version (NIV) of the Bible. Which is not a consensus at all.

I'm not sure if you're aware, but the Old Testament is written mostly in Hebrew and each passage has had thousands of interpretations and translations over time.

My does not say this at all was too strong in light of the different versions, but you can make the Bible say a lot of things.

Look at other translations, including in languages other than English and you'll see that the "miscarry" is pretty unique to the NIV.

You can check out the Wikipedia article on this passage to get an idea as to how complicated it is.

It does not say or imply that at all. Maybe in some translations/adaptations/interpretations, but not in most of them, and there is no full consensus.

I may be mistaken then. I'll need to confirm my sources, thanks.

I agree with this. Overwatch 2 is FOMO galore. It stressed me out.

With Overwatch 1, most content came back later, with exceptions for the charity skin and a few small things.

The law can be broad with allowances to define specifics by decree, executive order or the equivalent.

I'm not sure what this joke is about. France has wanted to keep English as a language of the EU (whose flag is at the top) despite Brexit.

Scissors are fine. Just... not like this.

They are already fully prepared for our deaths with their bunkers.

Yeah, but that veneer is starting to chip for me... See this blog article from Sébastien Benard.

I don't know enough to judge the situation fully, but, from what I've heard, their co-op functioning isn't always easy to do. I do wish we had more co-op game studios to improve the model over time.

Are you open to translations? Élisabeth Vonarburg is a great author, and her older books have been translated into English.

To specify the name of the country where the events happened, added by OP. A colon (:) would've been clearer, but it's appreciated, instead of the usual US Defaultism.

YouTube is still gonna recommend disgusting videos in "For You", even if you report them constantly.

Is the film just completely deleted, or can it leak eventually?

He has left his post of Minister. He still is a Member of Parliament (MP). So now that he has less responsibilities, he can find another job to get more money, subject to approval.

I'm not sure why being MP of the ruling party isn't considered being part of the government. It might be a UK thing?
