Christian Basics Series

The purpose of this series is to help you understand who Jesus Christ is, and why He came. Jesus is ‘God in the flesh’ who came to die on the cross to atone for our sins, so that by placing our faith in Him, with a humble, repentant heart, we have eternal life in Him. This series is here to help you understand how all of this fits together, and grow in your personal relationship with Christ. In order to accomplish this, there are nine major ‘doctrines,’ i.e. beliefs and teachings that are foundational – providing us with a way to understand the message of the good news (gospel), anchored in the life of Jesus Christ. These doctrines are: The Bible; God; Creation; Fall; Jesus Christ (The Lord); Sin and Salvation; The Holy Spirit; The Church; and The Last Things (End Times).

still thinking about how crowley and aziraphale don't know that their story will end happily. makes me SICK

#fearandhatred #why does the lord instill so much suffering in characters that don't exist #free them from the narrative #free us from the narrative only used to serve jesus and satan in their backgammon game as bo burnham once said #good omens #good omens season 2 #ineffable husbands #aziracrow #crowley #aziraphale

Everytime I see that "fandom is worse now because all the POPULAR KIDS got into it" post or any of the bajillion similar ones I die a little on the inside. You all sound like a 34 year old white cishet self identified gamer scoffing about how "all these girls pretend to like anime when IN MY TIME they would have bullied me for being a nerd" before he goes on to watch 4 more videos from a youtuber who participated in gamergate.

#complaining and whining about fandom #'fandom is ruined because thE POPULAR KIDS-' unless you are literally in highschool right now this language is beneath you #highschool cliques are not eternally applicable. grow up.#get a better framework for reality #also the more i learn about fandom history the more i realize the folks waxing poetic about the old fandom days are either a) LYING #or b) oblivious to all the horrible shit because they were 14 at the time #oh puritanism in fandom? thats new? yeah NO ONE moralized about gay kinky sex in the 90s and early 2000s. do you hear yourself.#the satanic panic was still going on in the 90s for fuck's sake #people used to accuse the h-p books of glorfying satan and luring children into witchcraft!#stop your weird RETVRN fantasy about a past fandom that does not exist #and start looking at the problems you can solve in your communities in the here and now

not to be a hater on main but i just stumbled on a tik tok claiming that tsh both takes itself too seriously and could use more absurd comedy and it nearly made me punch a wall

#my quest to find agreeable creators on booktok and booktube leaves me v frustrated sometimes #!!! i accept no criticism of this book #but even without stan goggles on how can say with your entire chest that tsh takes itself too seriously #when it literally makes fun of 'dark academia' types TO YOUR FACE #which is ironic for the book that spawned the entire genre #it's a comedy of manners at the very least #'this book that contains copious amounts of absurdly comedic situations and makes fun of pretentious twits obsessed with aesthetics #could use more absurd comedy and is not satirical enough'#recognising those basic building blocks of the text does NOT even mean to have to like it??#i hate to be bringing the Reading Comprehension debate again but good lord. and this person claims to have a phd in literature too 🤦‍♀️#i am so over this pretense at criticism that basically boils down to 'i didn't like this thing so i can't be seen to admit it executes #anything well. so instead i'm going to pretend basic obvious techniques in the text don't exist and peddle it as groundbreaking critique'#stuff like recognising basic genre. what happened to that.#i don't like The Hangover either but it would be very strange to call it anything other than a comedy #the secret history #donna tartt #again you don't even have to like the book!!!#I'M SORRY BUT IT MADE ME WANT TO RANT SO BAD #livresque #booktok and booktube are satan's garden

St. Peter redesign sort of. I mostly just gave him one of the Pope robes because St. Peter was the first Pope if I am not mistaken, and also I think this might mean that Hazbin Hotel is supposed to follow a more Catholic based lore (obviously this goes in tandem with the cardinal/mortal sins (aka 7 deadly sins) which is a more catholic thing and Al being dressed as a nun, but saints are mostly recognized as a catholic thing but I know that some orthodox sects and I think maybe one Protestant sect also recognize a few saints.).

So anyway I gave him the Pope robe thingy and I made the cross on it upside down to reference how he was crucified and made him a bit more stressed out. Also keys because I thought it would be fun

#hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel spoilers #hazbin redesign #derpy duck art #fanart #fandom #redesign #I was very disappointed by this #because he’s actually a pretty interesting person and his existence does imply that God is in this world #but like #come onnnnn #he has his own special cross #and I know they are using it in hell because it is much easier to draw over and over than the actual satanic cross #but still #it would be a really cool design touch #and as a catholic I love seeing these types of things in biblically inspired works #but also he looks so very bland for one of the more prominent disciples in the Bible #like I hear about him so much not just in Catholic Church but also in my friends church (Baptist)#like he’s so human in the sense that he made a lot of mistakes but he still obviously loved God and Jesus and did his best to continue to #the teachings of Jesus and I feel like for such an important character this is such a nothing design and he has such a small roll. which #I am sort of glad for

Because I am lazy with reinventing stuff I have been looking at some fallen angels (mostly Watchers because there is a list) and it's so funny to me that there is/was an angel around to "Cure the stupidity of men" Like thanks I need no more

also there was one guy which bascially was a constellation myth for Orion and he and Azazel(/Lucifer/Satan/whoever pointed Eve to the apple) were punished by hanging out between Heaven and Earth...forever or a long time but that got me to think...this would mean that (insert name of whoever tempted Eve in YOUR specific texts) is also a constellation, and if it's Lucifer it'd be the Morning Star which from what I remember either refers to Venus OR the brightest Star in the Sky aka Sirius aka part of Canis Major aka the constellation right next to Orion Fallen Angel shenanigans in the Sky? it's more likely than you think

also smth smth them being turned into Constellations and humanity using Fallen Angels, aka the givers of forbidden knowledge (you know..like reading and stuff) to navigate smth smth

#txts #look i know this is an overall...mix of many canons #not all bible #but i always associate that stuff with the bible bc thats my first introduction i got to this kinda God and his cohort #its still part of christianity and judaism afaik #but i think it was part of different books #.....i think even B.C but i also think some stuff referred to Jesus #but that might have just been Abaddon whose canon goes beyond a name and title #good for them #or them as a place #or them as dirt digger #or them as witness of jesus rebirth #i'll stop there #i enjoyed digging through greek myths as a kid #this tbh brings the same stuff out again #bc you can just see the connections people have made #and how they explained the world and happenings around them #by making up a lot of funky little guys #and telling stories to teach societal conventions #or sometimes just to make smth cool up (also good)(maybe not for historians but hey)#so anyhow i am absolutely imaging Samyaza(insert 20different ways to spell his name here) getting plopped up there #and Az/luci/satan/whomever at this point just going 'First Time?'#as they both just have to hang out around there #does it make sense? not rly #but neither does texts describing Azazel as someone distinct from Lucifer #or him as both a place AND a fallen angel #and sometimes the same one as Samael #bc these texts are fucking old and from various places and cultures and ever shifting depending on what was needed #so in this one canon(my headcanon)...this exists now

Watching bullshit media propaganda, aka that episode of 60 minutes on Dungeons and Dragons and…

#byler #stranger things #d&d #there should have been a tw for suicide #they talk about it a lot #and how dnd contributed to it #reminds me of Eddie reading that snippet from Newsweek #‘saying it promotes satanic worship/ritual sacrifices/sodomy/suicide/and even murder #wait but does that Newsweek magazine exist?#i haven’t seen any analysis on that

frey would you kindly keep taking christianity's view of afterlife apart

it's fucking entertaining

its my fate as a born and raised atheist to forever be confused by that stuff. at risk of sounding insensitive (i mean, i am just a rude person in general, this is not new information), its just so funny yet stupid to me. probably because philisophy is my special interest, so the idea of absolute good and absolute evil in the real world feels silly to me idk.

#but by far #my favourite paradox has to be this: if god is good #why does evil exist? if evil is of satan #why doesn't god just stop evil from existing #since he's almighty?#god is either good or almighty. god can't be both and still let evil exist.#sorry if this is a problematic take on my part

So many tarot readers on yt are poisoned by cultrual christanity. All the divine feminine shit and snakes being a symbol for something Bad shit and then its so weird when they both embrace egyptian shit and then also pray to "God" and constantly talk about praising their One True God like ma'am. Who are you. What is this. Whats going on here.

#why do you have a ma'at statue and then you talk about jesus every 5 seconds like #and then yall wonder why the christians who are attracted to your christianity laced content with egyptain aesthetics added ask you #if you practice satanism. like the audience you're drawing in with your 'God' bs onviously isnt going to be here for anything outside of #christian shit.#ik its new age poisoning as well but new age shit is just christianity with other religions aesthetics like thats all #otherwise yall wouldnt constantly talk about Christ Consciousness as if its the end all be all state of mind #i hate it i hate cultural christianity i hate how it corrupts ither things i hate it sm #yall. p sure it WASNT jesus who reached enlightenment under a tree.#also knock it off with the 'karmics' shit. other people can be the vehicle for with which you experience karma but they themselves-#their existence in your life isnt fucking karmic. it feels like such an excuse to dismiss ppls humanity otherwise it eouldnt bother me #nearly as much as it does.#ig i feel like. if you think of krama as just something someone else does to you and its just something that only involves ppl its just #weird like you're not getting it. its like you think ppls souls are tainted in some way rather than karma being this greater force almost #in the way these readers talk about 'the universe'. like its not some trait humans possess. karma can be a buck charging at your ass too.#karma can be being stuck in traffic. everyone around you in that scenario isnt a 'karmic' though.#even the name implies its a trait people can possess. im honestly sick of this attitude.

I meant to write a small response to this in the tags, but wrote a whole ass paragraph. I guess it’s still staying in the tags.

I really think everyone needs to truly internalize this:

Fictional characters are objects.

They are not people. You cannot "objectify" them, because they have no personhood to be deprived of. They have no humanity to be erased. You cannot "disrespect" them, because they are not real.

#While a lot of these posts are a bit too <quote> holier than though for my taste #I’m reblogginrhg this because of the last few posts #like there’s tons of weird stuff in the internet. but it’s existence isn’t *necessarily* harmful #but also people are fully entitled to feel uncomfortable when seeing it #I’m not comfortable with lots of stuff. but that doesn’t mean it’s necessarily wrong #nor does it mean that it endorses something terrible.#and sorry if seeing discourse like this makes any of my 5 followers uncomfortable #but this post put some thoughts I’ve had into words and I wanted to reblog it for that #content that makes people uncomfortable should be tagged #and the fact that it makes people uncomfortable should be respected #but it’s existence doesn’t have to be the spawn of satan #and the people who engage with it shouldn’t be vilified #nor should they be harassed

thinking about mc and satan bonding over shared identity issues post lilith reveal. i know this trope has been done to death but theres so much to do with it aghhhhhh

#op #om! satan #satan x mc #late night convos about how shitty it is to be seen as someone other than Yourself #dissecting what it means to owe your existence to someone and to have that relationship ripple out and effect ALL your other relationships #except for this one. except for the one person who really truly sees You and not just #'you' as a byproduct of your predecessor #the one person who shares a grimace with you across the table when a comment hits too close to home #and who validates and shares in your anger over it. considers it justified rather than an overreaction.#because satan's situation IS bullshit! they ARE weird about it to him! and i haaaaate hate hate the way it's treated as a joke #not necessarily him hating lucifer because that can be funny. and lucifer deserves it also #but his identity issues specifically re: lucifer are soooo valid and i hate when its treated as like #'hey wanna see a funny way to make satan Really Mad?'#anyways whatever i think the intimacy of having one person in the entire house who sees you for You is crazy awesome.#but also the insecurity! satan has vague memories of lilith via lucifer so like. mc wondering if even he's drawn to them because of that.#and like. of course he wouldnt SAY if he was but it still bugs them. and if he had known her properly... wouldnt things be different?#is their connection just luck on their part? that she died before he was born? and how awful does THAT feel?#and then lucifer is still ALIVE so satan constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop.#for the one person he's ever felt really Got *him* to suddenly wake up one day seeing him the same way he (thinks) everyone else does #like mc at least had the CHANCE to be seen as an individual. satan's never had that so what the fuck is he supposed to think!!!!!#sorry for the Tags That Never End none of these thoughts are new but im rotating them in my head tonight
