Support Wafa's Fight for Safety and Health

☪︎ ִ ֶ֢࣪⋆ by @wafaaresh6 [ Previously verified by @/90-ghost ]

☪︎ ִ ֶ֢࣪⋆ Description

“Hello, I am Wafa from Gaza and I would like to take just two minutes of your time to share my story with you. I am Wafa, I live under the constant bombing and aggression on Gaza. Here we struggle with a life of death and constant loss. We lost the home we lived in, and were displaced more than 10 times from one place to another in search of safety. The truth is that there is no safe place, and we had many ambitions and hopes. I graduated from university and intended to travel, work, and many other things, but the war came and destroyed all of that. We also had a source of livelihood and clothing shops, which were completely destroyed by the occupation and turned into ashes, and we no longer have any final source of livelihood. We also faced difficulty in obtaining food and drinking water, and we suffered from many diseases such as hepatitis, gastroenteritis, and malnutrition due to the lack of a suitable environment for life. Here we live in hunger and fear. My mother also suffers from chronic diseases and we cannot find a cure for them. She needs urgent surgery, but we can't because of what we're going through. Our lives are in danger, so I hope you can help us, even if just a little, as this will help us escape death Asking for help is not easy, a small donation from each person will save my family from death in Gaza Donate through the link in the bio (gofundme) Together, your contribution means everything to us, and in these difficult times, your kindness is our greatest hope. We are very grateful for any assistance you can provide and thank you for your kindness and generosity in our time of need”

Editing to add the names from the clean background plate that @caitmayart posted:

Happy WIP Wednesday! Can I have TBD AU? I'm obsessed with it,you're writing is soooo gooood

WIP Wednesday 9/11/24 (Closed) | TBD AU (17/15)

“We’re friends.”

“That’s wonderful, I think you and Neil getting a chance to be friends is a wonderful thing.” She smiles.

Andrew doesn’t say anything else as he goes back into his house and makes sure to deadbolt the door behind him. Katelyn has the tact to let him retreat without comment or attempt to chase him down.

He does still get a text a minute later when he’s looking at another unpacked box thanking him for letting Aaron come and meet Smith’s family. Andrew texts back that he regrets it already.

Katelyn doesn't have the decency not to text him back a minute later.

Katelyn 3:28 PM:

I thought you didn't do regrets? :)

My next door neighbor kept calling me yesterday afternoon while I was out doing errands. She wanted to give me some things including an early Christmas present. When I finally got home she gave me a Thanksgiving cactus, a pair of pants that used to be her grandson’s (it’s very worn and stained) for the little man, and a Christmas present for me in an old reusable bag which contained a vintage Christmas bell that I’m sure she got it at a consignment shop cause it had a little sticker with the owners code. I’m usually thankful for any presents I get. This one is definitely not my style, I think it’s ugly, but I’m wondering if she gives used stuff like this to her rich friends as well. I personally would never give someone else a used present although I know people who do that. My problem is that she has so much money and does this. I’m rethinking on what I’ll give her for Christmas. Maybe I’ll go to a consignment store and get something there. I’m just being ornery.

you ever think about how pretty much the only reason we use base10 is because we have 10 fingers and if everyone had 6 fingers on each hand we'd use base12 and never even think a thing of it and also math would be pretty much better in every way?

This Verse Secretly Undermines All of Christianity...

I just saw this and thought I would process it on my own.

This YouTuber doesn't sound like he's explored much beyond mainstream Western Christianity. He makes the bold statement that EVERY Christian sect finds indispensable the idea that Christ died on the Cross "for our sins". Period.

For the longest time I found that challenging too. He goes on to talk about many of the same things I've asked, "Why couldn't God just forgive us outright? Why must he go through a generational pageant to do something the God of the Universe could have done of his own accord in the first place?"

You can say this is a dumb question. I've been told this many times.

Yet I have never been the only one asking this.

Many, if not all Atheists ask this question. Frankly, many "Christian" answers sound a little unhinged.

Now, I don't think that his examples necessarily contradict the prevailing point of view though. All anyone has to do is look at the banking industry to see that credit on future earnings is a valid payment method. Now it's true that modern banking, and especially credit, wasn't developed until the European Jews, unable to make a living any other way, started lending during the medieval period. Jesuits came up with the idea of insurance, which didn't technically fall under the prohibition against usury. And with ongoing innovation, modern financial markets developed.

None of these, of course, would have been understood by the local people of Jesus' time and place.

What was understood was life and death.

And this is where I found my peace.

Sins can easily be forgiven, but sickness and eventual death? That's a whole other nut to crack. Now, to be clear, unfortunately even the most traditional Christian communities have started to obsess about how SIN must be atoned!

But there is a strain in the oldest Christian traditions that it wasn't primarily sin that was destroyed on the cross, but rather death, disease, corruption (of which sin is a derivation to be sure, but not the point).

Now it's easy to look around and say - "Look! it didn't work." I myself have had to say good bye to both my parents over the last several months.

However, there is a resurrection that is promised. And if Christ has done what he said he did, then there WILL be a general resurrection.

The key is to be prepared for that resurrection. Now we could go on about which denomination is best prepared, but I have little faith in denominationalism. I think it's a means to conquer and divide the faithful, pitting follower against follower. Soon the God who's being worshiped isn't the most High God, but the Deceiver who encourages us all to call each other heretics. I do not think most "Christians" are Christian, but rather following their own wisdom (1 Timothy 6:3-5, 2 Thessalonians 2:11, Matthew 7:13-14, Matthew 24:11).

Now I may be a false teacher myself for thinking such a thing and putting it out there, but I have faith that God will know his own. And while he loves the rest, and has given them life, that life will be so much less for the fact that they reject what he's given them.

I find the idea of a river of fire helpful - Moses and the Glory of God (Exodus 33:20-23), speaks to the idea that to human senses, God is Fire. The Story of the Three Holy Youths (Daniel 3) has also been seen as an illustration of man abiding in the presence of fire, as a proxy for God, unharmed. Pentecost is God's fire experienced by the faithful after his resurrection. How will Gods fire be experienced by the unfaithful?

I have no idea, but I doubt that it will be pleasant (Luke 16:19-31).

In short, I feel this video failed to land it's point. There's enough diversity in Christianity to survive this argument, though I do not think that most modern Christians are open to my resolution.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Have mercy upon me, a sinner.
