Is there any method of having the HyperOS experience on a Samsung (One UI 9.5) without losing the bootloader? I remember that in other versions there was no problem, but I know that there is now. Has anyone found a way around this so far?

I am struggling to decide the architecture of an application I want to create based on data self-referencing. It will basically be an Obsidian, but focusing on medical records with some analysis engines running in a backend.

I really need the application to run well on Android (mainly) and offline - because it must be a system that feeds on the user's own database, which he himself will produce while studying.

What options do I have for this? I researched pure Flutter (with Dart), Python + Fluter + FastAPI, Flet, serious_python, Python embedded in APK, other languages and web solutions, but nothing seems to be really excellent.

I tried to do everything in Dart/Flutter, but I soon realized why Python is the official language for academic and data science. Typical languages slow everything down, and Dart is not even that verbose. I definitely miss the freedom to "think in Python," and the freedom of types. I am also sure that in the future, when I want to implement AI, specific Python libraries will be missed.

So what advice do you give me?

I do not work with programming, I am a student and I work in a veterinary clinic as a veterinarian. However, I am passionate about programming and have nurtured the idea of developing a "Second Medical Brain," similar to Notion and Obsidian, but focused on self-referenced medical information. Because of some details of this project, neither Obsidian nor Notion will be enough to achieve what I need.

So I looked for the options. The only programming language I studied was Python, and I really like it. However, Flutter is definitely the number in interfaces, but I don't really understand anything about frontend. This "everything being a widget tree" thing isn't making sense to me. Anyone who knows Python knows that codes look much more like blocks, not Russian dolls.

I considered Flet, but he's not on the same level as Flutter. I also considered other frameworks, but they would impose the difficulty of learning other tools. So Flutter still seems to be the most interesting technology for me. However, the structure of widgets doesn't make sense to me, I just can't think that way.

What can you recommend to me? I have already tried to modulate all the code and leave in the main () only the call of the functions/classes.

Ah! This app will be used on both Android and Windows, and both are essential.

I also heard that a program with Python backend on Android is very risky, while it is almost impossible on Android. Is that true?

Is there any way to get those "liquid glass" style blur effects on Android? And before anyone suggests it: buying an iPhone is completely out of the question.

I've been looking for launchers, but I only find ones focused on the iOS look. Nothing against that, but they're either expensive or packed with ads.

My device is an S25.

I had over 2,500 notes in Notion and decided to start fresh, this time focusing on a "Second Brain" approach. I feel mentally exhausted and really need this.

I’m looking for something similar to Obsidian’s graph views (specifically the Orrery plugin), but I haven't found anything like that for Notion. I don't have the mental bandwidth to develop such an app myself, so I’d like to know if there’s already a good community-made solution for this.

Note: I tried using Obsidian, but I can't afford the sync service right now, and manual syncing methods are completely out of the question. Besides, I’m already very familiar with Notion and don't want to leave it.

The images below show the Orrery plugin for Obsidian, which has been helping me "organize my mind."

This post was originally made for another messianic community here on Reddit. I was banned from there on charges of "defending Replacement Theology," something I never did (probably due to the administrator's personal problems). I have always been radically against this kind of theology. So I would like to post here again to hear your opinion on my doubts.

If you interpret it as "Replacement Theology," which it is not, I only ask you to inform me without banishing me.

----------------------------------------------

In modern times, "being Jewish" has proven to be much more than simply practicing the Jewish religion. Globalization has raised numerous questions that are difficult to answer. I will share a few of them here.

\### 1. Being Jewish is different from being an Israelite

In his letter to the Romans, Paul stated that all Israel will be saved. Israel is composed of 12 tribes, 11 of which were lost. Does this prophecy mean that, by necessity, the lost tribes must return?

\### 2. Who actually belongs to Israel?

The biggest dilemma of all: if Israel rejected the Messiah, do they still remain Israel? There are various ways of "being Jewish," but Paul asserts that the natural branches were broken off, yet can be grafted back in. Based on this, we could say that there is a state of "latency" in being Israel, since those who belong to the people of Israel and choose to accept the Messiah are grafted back in. However:

\* \*\*2.1.\*\* Biblical Israel is defined by the physical, bloodline descent from the patriarchs. Today, most people cannot trace this ancestry.

\* \*\*2.2.\*\* The Bible also speaks of Gentiles who were grafted into Israel and became, for all intents and purposes, Israelites. Should the descendants of these Israelites also be considered Israelites, even if they do not carry Abraham's DNA?

\### 3. Judaism ≠ Being Jewish

Following Judaism as a religion does not imply that you are actually Jewish, because religious Jews denied the Messiah and, therefore, were torn away from the True Olive Tree.

These questions occurred to me after listening to some political debates and realizing that the history of certain Jewish groups, particularly the Ashkenazi, does not derive from Biblical Israel. They are, in fact, of Polish origin. Despite intermarriage, many do not carry Abraham's DNA. While this doesn't "make an Ashkenazi" non-Jewish, it clashes with the dilemma of bloodline inheritance: if they are not children of Abraham, why should they be considered in the plan of salvation? From a Messianic perspective, they follow a false religion built on deception and ignorance regarding the true Messiah.

Returning to point 2.2, the question remains: does the fact that they somehow "became Jewish" actually make them part of the True Olive Tree, despite all their malice and wickedness?

\### 4. The problem of racial purity

If we follow this path, some might fall back on eugenic arguments of racial and genetic purity, which is highly dangerous. If, however, we completely disregard the genetic factor, we fall into the problem of identity exclusion:

\* \*\*4.1.\*\* If Jewish identity is tied to the rejection of the Messiah in post-Second Temple Judaism, should those who accept the Messiah be considered Jewish?

\* \*\*4.2.\*\* Conversely, if being Jewish depends on ancestry, then is it right to reject all Jews who are not linked to Abraham in some way?

Notice that this rejection is bilateral and mutual.

\### 5. The Halakha dilemma

Today, the definition of who is a Jew is tied to \*Halakha\* (Jewish law), and many Messianic communities use \*Halakha\* as a foundation. The problem is that \*Halakha\* does not use the same biblical criteria for inheritance. If you accept Jesus as the Messiah, you cease to be Jewish under \*Halakha\*. The Biblical criterion is exactly the opposite: denying that Jesus is the Messiah is what causes you to be cut off.

Once again, the rejection is bilateral and mutual.

\### In Summary

Adopting a genetic criterion to define the People of Israel is both dangerous and ineffective, but relying solely on genealogical and cultural heritage can also lead us into a dead end. Who actually is "all Israel" that will be saved, according to Paul? Frankly, I cannot see salvation for an Orthodox Jew. The more I learn about them, the less I believe there is anything of God there. I fail to see anything of a "chosen people" in the political or religious Israel of today.

Recently, while studying various translations, I discovered the tradution regarding Deuteronomy 32:8 found in the Qumran texts, and it gave me a lot to think about. I discovered something about Jesus that I hadn't known before, and it was a revelation to me. Reading that text, I grasped a concept I had never heard mentioned in any church—and had only heard briefly alluded to in the occasional theological discussion: the "Two Powers in Heaven" theology.

The Masoretic Text, which is the most common version today, uses the term "Sons of Israel." When the Bible uses this term, it refers to men—ordinary people. However, the original Qumran text uses the term "Sons of God," which is precisely the same title Jesus used for himself and the very thing that led to his death. It was also what most infuriated the Pharisees.

This subtle yet extremely important change reveals certain truths we tend to forget today, yet which are necessary to harmonize the entire Bible. Chief among them is a startling one: THE BIBLE IS NOT MONOTHEISTIC. Monotheism does not exist in the Bible; what exists is the worship of a single, sovereign God, but other gods do exist within the biblical narrative—pagan gods, lesser gods, and so forth. Israel does not worship them (or ought not to), but they are there; they truly exist. When the Masoretic Text changes "Sons of God" to "Sons of Israel," it attempts to soften a highly complex theology that might otherwise lead people to question strict monotheism. Yet, this softening comes at the cost of obscuring the very thing that reveals Jesus' true identity.

The text in Deuteronomy speaks of God dividing the world among His "sons." If they are "Sons of Israel"—as the later text claims—they are merely ordinary humans. But if they are "Sons of God"—as the older (or original) text states—then they are celestial or angelic beings akin to lesser gods; that is, divinities. This is of immense importance regarding Psalm 82, which makes absolutely no sense unless the passage in Deuteronomy is referring to other gods:

> ⁶ I said, "You are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High."

Psalm 82:6 — please check your translation, as—as is commonly known—I speak Portuguese.

Here we see that God Himself stated that the individuals being judged are gods. This is not a theological invention; it is literally what is written. Defenders of the Masoretic text attempt to explain this in ways that have never been sufficiently satisfactory—claiming God was referring to kings, judges, and so forth. Yet, had they been mere men, God would not have called them gods, let alone "Sons of the Most High"—the very title Jesus claims for Himself.

Therefore, we can only conclude that Psalm 82 alludes to Deuteronomy 32:8. What occurred was that God divided the earth among these gods, and each was assigned responsibility for a specific nation. Here, God judges them because they failed to care for those nations properly. God Himself adds:

> ⁷ Nevertheless, you shall die like men, and fall like any of the princes. (Psalm 82:7)

I emphasize that it makes no sense for this text to refer to ordinary men, as the phrase "a man dying like a man" is ambiguous, redundant, and unnecessary.

In short, Psalm 82 describes how God put to death the other deities who governed the nations of the earth. And where does Jesus fit in? Well, He was one of those deities, yet He is distinct—special—because He emanates directly from the Father. Jesus is not the Father Himself, as Trinitarian theology asserts; rather, He and the Father are one because Jesus emanates from the Father's own essence. Thus, Jesus is also a God, though not *the* God. This in no way undermines monotheism, for in Psalm 82, God reveals Himself as superior to any and all other "gods."

Once again: if we rely on the Masoretic text, none of this makes sense.

In this sense, Jesus is a God—begotten by the Father—to whom the nation of Israel was assigned. Deuteronomy 9 states that Israel (Jacob) is the inheritance He chose for Himself. In other words: He assigned an earthly kingdom to each lesser god, but chose Israel for Himself. That is why Jesus had to be a son of David and a Jew—in addition to fulfilling the Torah—because Jesus was the God appointed for Israel. From this, we can also understand Jesus' lament when He says:

> ³⁷ Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you! How often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing! (Matthew 23:37)

Thus, when speaking of "two powers," one is not referring to two gods in the sense of polytheism, but rather to one true God—the Father, YHWH—and a ruler chosen and appointed by Him: Yeshua, His Son.

Furthermore, in Second Temple Judaism, speaking of someone's "spirit" is synonymous with speaking of the person themselves. The notion that the Holy Spirit is a third person—a separate entity—does not originate with the prophets or the Jewish people; it is a Platonic concept, likely with pagan roots. Therefore, there is no "Trinity," but rather a duality in which two parties perform distinct functions, with the second party (Jesus) being begotten of the first.

I must point out that this neither turns the Trinity into a heresy nor invalidates it. However, it does turn it into a conceptual muddle. It is not an error; it is a confusion.

I would also add that this is not an attempt at indoctrination—that is, I am not trying to establish a final, absolute, and unquestionable truth regarding the Scriptures. It is simply a reflection and a reminder: examining the Scriptures in their original text is fundamental!

How do the Messianic Jews and Jews understand the apocryphal books and especially the apocryphal Gospels?

I have studied the history of religion and am prone to understand that sacred scripture is only the Torah, the Tanakh and the Brit Hadasha being projections of it, inspired but not necessarily sacred.

I know that some groups of Jews believed in the Second Temple. Is that opinion still considered today? How to separate what is real? What is the true canon? What apocrypha do I need to read?

In what situations do Jews light candles, besides feasts and Shabbat?

My country has the highest concentration of Bnei-Anussim in the world. Recently (in recent decades) there has been an "explosion" of people discovering themselves as "Jews," or descendants of Jews, because of a law in Portugal that guaranteed citizenship to the descendants of Jews who suffered from the inquisition. Due to worldly interests, genealogy has developed a lot in the country and many people have discovered its true origin.

Brazilian synagogues define a Bnei-Anussim as a Jew when he decides to assume this identity and do the process of Teshuvah. It is almost like a traditional Jewish conversion, but the court is not necessary because you, being Bnei-Anussim, are automatically part of the alliance, leaving only to decide whether you want to assume this identity or not.

The movement has been growing a lot and one thing makes me curious: many people, including myself, see in themselves Jewish traits of all kinds and, after discovering their genealogical heritage, come to associate this trait with the fact of being Jewish. I am trying to understand what this is just confirmation bias and what is *really* a Jewish trait.

One question that non-Messianic Jews ask is this: why is no one attracted to the ethnic heritage of isolated indigenous tribes, but many people "feel Jewish"? What, exactly, is the Jewish ethnicity special about? It is important to think about this because many of the Bnei-Anussim no longer have Jewish DNA. In fact, we do not see descendants of Germans feeling "German," or descendants of Italians fighting over pizza sauce, or descendants of Russians with high tolerance for vodka, or descendants of indigenous people walking around half naked.

A convincing answer to this question is that the Jewish people are the only ones who have a covenant with God, but it is not enough. Is there any text in the Bible that states that the Israelites and their descendants would have this special calling?

When I found out that I am a Jew, I started adopting the Jewish diet and learning various Israeli recipes. I realized that no other food makes me as full as this one. This is not a confirmation bias because I did a DNA test that proved to be a great affinity with the Arab/Mediterranean diet.

What do you think of all this?
