Together, let us create something the world desperately needs

[Rick C. Hodgin]

Please see this post and thread:

https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.arch/F39_I0nipUg/4Th6IaCVAQAJ

We can, together, create something to shake this world to its core,
undoing centuries of hate and war. If we lift our lives to Jesus in
love, and move forward in His teachings, with His goals, billions of
lives will be affected, and this world will be changed forever.

Join in. Add your voice to this chorus of man unto God. Use and
direct your talents toward Him, and watch Him multiply your offer-
ing out to multitudes.

I urge you to move in love, today, toward Him, asking forgiveness,
learning of Him, and doing for Him in this world.

Your life will be rich, and your core man complete. It will bring
you real peace and victory over that which has kept you down.

Thank you,
Rick C. Hodgin

Tower of Babel redux!

No. This is people where they are around the world in the disciplines
their in doing the things they're doing and are already interested in,
in changing their focus to be from worldly-serving-goals to those which
are focused upon serving God.

We purposefully look up to God, and we purposefully place Him ahead of
the things we do, so that we are honoring Him with the fullness of our
lives, including our labor hours, and our other hours.

We need GCC-Jesus.

GCC is the GNU Compiler Collection, and it is run by GNU, an entity
started by Richard Stallman. Richard has some heinous views on things,
and as a result of me discovering these things about him, I could no
longer support his endeavor because of this truth:

http://biblehub.com/proverbs/29-12.htm
12 If a ruler listens to lies, all his officials become wicked.

As such, I created an alternate organization, the Liberty Software
Foundation (LibSF instead of FSF) and I created a new project called
the Village Freedom Project (VFrP instead of GNU).

The product I am working toward is called CAlive, and is a C-like
compiler built for the express purpose of honoring God with our
talents and labor, giving back to Him the fruit of what He first
gave us for free (our innate abilities, and the opportunities we've
had in this world to learn and grow and improve and achieve).

It is an ongoing endeavor, and people will come on board eventually
as the reality of the underlying philosophy begins to sink in, and
a true understanding of the purpose and intent is realized.

RDC -- Rapid Development Compiler is like the GCC framework.
CAlive -- A C-like language built within RDC, the first of many
languages that are planned, including a Java-like port, a C#-like
port, an eventual full virtual machine like .NET, a Julia-like
port, and as many others as people want to implement, because
once RDC is completed, people will be able to define any new
languages in a few months worth of work.

-----
That is the vision. That is the goal. I am doing it unto the
Lord acknowledging all He first gave me, and then for mankind so
that those things He first gave me are of benefit to others, and
not a burden to them financially, or through such things as the
invented concept of intellectual property.

Aye, there's the rub.

On the other hand, when you're willing to work for free, you can do anything
that you want, there's that.

Afaict, working for Rick has to have some oddities. If you write the
word "damn", well, you might get fired!

It isn't for free. It is for the Lord, and it carries with it a far
greater responsibility than working for an Earthly company because by
your choice to serve Him, you are representing Him. You will be under
far greater scrutiny, intense examination, the subject of mocking, of
ridicule and scorn, and the only reward you'll have comes from within,
and when / if He chooses at some point to bless your endeavors unto
Him.

The reward comes in your service to Him, making Him the head of your
life, and pursuing Him despite the world and the people of the world
criticizing your every effort you've given over to Him, doing it all
for Him. He fills you with peace, love, joy, and it endures, even
when under ridicule and attacks.

Our faith manifested into action is of great worth to the Lord, far
more so than any Earthly gain. It is our focus on Him brought to bear
for Him, even when under duress.

Wait till Rick sees Flibble's variable names, in the code he contributes.

Daniel

[Öö Tiib]

If anything Flibble writes quite good code and uses reasonable names.

[Rick C. Hodgin]

People are free to be as vulgar and profane as they wish. The warning
from the Lord is that maintaining that state of rebellion against Him
will result in their sin remaining on them, and judgment+condemnation
coming to them at the end of their life.

The message of the cross is a message of hope, salvation, love, peace
between man and God. It is given to all people, but only those who
are being saved will be able to hear it. The rest will rail on in
whatever manner they feel is appropriate until they die, and then they
will be cast into the lake of fire for all eternity.

Jesus warns us about this in the Bible. Christians warn people about
this in the world. Only those who are being saved will hear His message
and be saved. The rest will perish in their sin.

-----
The people who come forward and work on this project will not be
doing it for me. They will be doing it for the Lord. They will
be digging deep within their soul and pulling out the absolute
best they have to offer, such that the thing we create unto Him
is the best we can make it, and is not constrained by concerns
over money, or time, or something else that would curtail our
best effort.

[Rick C. Hodgin]

Agreed. The code I've seen from him has been excellent.

His extreme use of profanity appears to be an attack against God and
me, and not part of his life to the extent he makes it be here, so as
to reach out to me being offensive unto me because I continue to bring
the message of sin, judgment, condemnation, and of salvation and hope
in Jesus Christ, because to receive that message on its merit means we
are no longer in control of our lives, but we admit instead that we
need the Lord.

It's a bitter pill to swallow for many. Pride has and will keep many
people out of Heaven.

I was thinking Flibble might use a different naming convention for the code
that he contributes to Rick's project. Mere speculation, of course.

Yes, his code is very nice.

[Mr Flibble]

Ears burning. I haven't contributed any code to Rick's project(s) so I
have no idea what you are talking about. :|
