All the other Gods in different Beliefs are just Angels who serve God but people mistaked them for being God's so they worshipped them (kinda how like Collyridians Worship Mary even though she's not God) And so its ok to Pray to them but only if you acknowledge them as being lower than The Triune God 🌹

Please pray for my sister. She’s su1cidal and very depressed right now. Her life just keeps spiraling into such terrible and even more terrible situations. I fear for her safety and wellbeing. Any prayers at all would be appreciated.

[heavenly-rose-petals]

Please pray for my Nana. Her mind has been going very quickly and I really fear for her mental and physical health. She’s supposed to go to a nursing home soon, but that only helps so much. I fear that she will not remember me one day and it really saddens me. I love her so much. Any prayers of any kind— for my family or for her would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hail Mary, font of grace

Please can I have a hysterectomy

Thank you

“O Mari, O Mari, enter my heart as thy love” is very much becoming my go to comfort chant.

It’s a personal spin on a chant found in Garlands Of Grace by @ladybrythwensinclair

I might not have been paying attention but what happened to the third baby during the switch?

Hiya! :) It is explained in the book (which I very much recommend! :)). If you want to read the book and find out then stop reading now ❤.

...

In the book there is more about The Them and we find out that Tadfield as another gang lead by the boy 'Greasy Johnson', the gang is called the Johnsonites. We find out that Greasy Johnson is actually the third baby :). And there are some greats passages about the metaphors for The Them vs the Johnsonites / Hell vs. Heaven :):

"I dunno," said Pepper. "I mean, it wouldn't be so interesting without ole Greasy Johnson and his gang. When you think about it. We've had a lot of fun with ole Greasy Johnson and the Johnsonites. We'd probably have to find some other gang or something."

"Seems to me," said Wensleydale, "that if you asked people in Lower Tadfield, they'd say they'd be better off without the Johnsonites or the Them."

Even Adam looked shocked at this. Wensleydale went on stoically: "The old folks' club would. An' Picky. An'—"

"But we're the good ones . . ." Brian began. He hesitated. "Well, all right," he said, "but I bet they'd think it'd be a jolly sight less interestin' if we all weren't here."

"Yes," said Wensleydale. "That's what I mean."

"People round here don't want us or the Johnsonites," he went on morosely, "the way they're always goin' on about us just riding our bikes or skateboarding on their pavements and making too much noise and stuff. It's like the man said in the history books. A plaque on both your houses."

This met with silence.

"One of those blue ones," said Brian, eventually, "saying 'Adam Young Lived Here,' or somethin'?"

Normally an opening like this could lead to five minutes' rambling discussion when the Them were in the mood, but Adam felt that this was not the time.

"What you're all sayin'," he summed up, in his best chairman tones, "is that it wouldn't be any good at all if the Greasy Johnsonites beat the Them or the other way round?"

"That's right," said Pepper. "Because," she added, "if we beat them, we'd have to be our own deadly enemies. It'd be me an' Adam against Brian an' Wensley," She sat back. "Everyone needs a Greasy Johnson," she said.

"Yeah," said Adam. "That's what I thought. It's no good anyone winning. That's what I thought." He stared at Dog, or through Dog.

"Seems simple enough to me," said Wensleydale, sitting back. "I don't see why it's taken thousands of years to sort out."

And then on the airfield :):

"I just don't see why everyone and everything has to be burned up and everything," Adam said. "Millions of fish an' whales an' trees an', an' sheep and stuff. An' not even for anything important. Jus' to see who's got the best gang. It's like us an' the Johnsonites. But even if you win, you can't really beat the other side, because you don't really want to. I mean, not for good. You'll just start all over again. You'll just keep on sending people like these two," he pointed to Crowley and Aziraphale, "to mess people around. It's hard enough bein' people as it is, without other people coming and messin' you around."

Crowley turned to Aziraphale.

"Johnsonites?" he whispered.

The angel shrugged. "Early breakaway sect, I think," he said. "Sort of Gnostics. Like the Ophites." His forehead wrinkled. "Or were they the Sethites? No, I'm thinking of the Collyridians. Oh dear. I'm sorry, there were hundreds of them, it's so hard to keep track."

A brief update on my spiritual beliefs: I've been reflecting lately about my spirituality and have come to realization that I'm not really a Collyridian with a capital C anymore. Mother Mary and Jesus are still important to me spiritually and always will be. But in all honestly I think I see them more as Divine or Elevated Ancestors I'm also trying to delve a bit more into Espiritismo (Latin American Spiritism) with a focus saints and angels That being said, I am very much still Trinosophian Goddessian and Heathen

Early Christian Schisms Bracket

Apollinarism: A heresy proposed by Apollinaris of Laodicea that argues that Jesus had a human body and soul, but a divine mind rather than a rational human mind. It was deemed heretical in 381 and died out afterwards.

Collyridianism: An early Christian movement of women in Arabia who worshiped the Virgin Mary as a goddess. The name Collyridianism comes from little cakes, called collyris, which were given as offerings. The sources about this sect are scant, and some people doubt it ever existed at all.

[monstrousgourmandizingcats]

Do you have a favorite early Christian heresy

Collyridianism if it actually existed, which, all I know is my heart says maybe. Least favorite is Nestorianism, most overrated is everything under the "Gnostic" umbrella, most underrated is whatever it was that the Council of Chalcedon was supposedly condemning.

Ask me questions to distract me from fandom drama

[skaianbruja]

Tbh, it actually really pisses me off when people use victims of religious cults as a sorta "gotcha" against Jewish people discussing Cultural Christianity and how many ex-Christians in the West still benefit from Christian hegemony

Like Idk, I grew up in a Christian Fundamentalist / Evangelical cult and am uncomfortable with identifying as / being identified as a Christian (I prefer either "Sophian" or "Collyridian"). But like not once have I ever felt that Jewish people talking about Cultural Christianity was invalidating my trauma in any sense. Culturally Christian atheists on the other hand do invalidate my trauma regularly by saying shit like "All religions are cults"

Please pray for my Father. He’s suffering from a lot of stress right now and I worry for his health.

What is your favoeite heresy?

Perhaps predictably, I have a soft spot for Collyridianism. Even amid debates that the sect existed at all, it seems to be perpetually reinvented, which I find pleasing.
