For those of you who may not know who the woman in the painting is, her name is Jael. She killed the leader of an enemy army by hitting a tent peg through his temple while he slept.

So yeah, she wasn't quiet and meek.

Her story is in Judges 4:16-24. This chapter also features Deborah, another amazing Biblical woman God used as a leader.

You're too manly and opinionated to be a Christian woman. They are dainty, softspoken, meek, and childlike. They only speak when ordered to and they DO NOT argue with men.

I've been thinking. You see a lot of stuff going around in Christian circles about how you don't *have* to give to beggars, they might just use it for drugs, you couldn't even help all of them if you did, etc. etc...

But like.

What if we did, tho.

What if each set aside the amount of money we thought we could afford for it each month, and just kept a couple 5$ bills in our wallets. And we stopped worrying about what they were gonna do with it and just tried to help? And once you're out for the month that's fine, because you know another Christian will have it covered. Like yeah most of us can't afford to sell all our possessions, but we've got $30, right?

You know, what if. What if we did. What if that was our legacy. Because man, it used to be. And I'm tired of it not being again.

Edited to add: if people truly don’t feel comfortable giving money, socks are also a very good option! I prefer the Dickies brand, as they’re durable and relatively cheap; a large package of the men’s large size can be bought for a reasonable price on Amazon.

i get asked a lot how I can be Christian if i don't believe in hell, but honestly, what's more important to me is the day someone asked me whether i loved God or loved heaven and feared God or feared hell. i began to finally understand that heaven, hell, purgatory, all of it-- it doesn't matter. i am not called in God's commandments to mark off the days as i wait for the afterlife, pledging devotion out of a desire for paradise and a fear of hell. i am called to love my neighbor, and to love Him. not to beg for a reward in heaven or to lose sleep over the idea of damnation. i am not here because I want something (or don't want something), I am here because I love Him.

"the idea of religion and culture being distinct and separate is very much a Christian idea designed to help Christianity spread as much as possible" or it was designed to not force people to leave their culture in order to convert so that people who converted could still be culturally what they were

Like. I understand the point you're trying to make but you're phrasing it as if Christianity while being an oppressed minority group was like "ooohhh let's colonialize and destroy cultures" instead of it actually just being Saint Paul going "No, you do not need to give up your culture to follow Jesus. God loves you and your culture is fine as long as Christ is above it" it is very much supposed to be ANTI colonialist
