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).
#Can I commit the unpardonable sin#Can I lose my salvation#Does God exist#Does Satan exist?#How can I be saved#is heaven real#is hell real#Is Jesus Christ God#what are the end times#What does the church have to do with Jesus#what happens when I die#What is Christianity#What is church#What is salvation#What is sin#What is the Bible about#what is the book of revelation about#What is the creation in the Bible#What is the Fall of humankind#What is the purpose of the church#what is the resurrection#Who is God#Who is Jesus Christ and why did He come#Who is the Holy Spirit#Why did God create people#Why is Christ important#AMEN

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

The fact that God hasn’t struck me down dead means that he is allowing me to speak. I have an important role in this whole game whether you like it or not. Jesus let Satan say his piece in the desert and try his shot, and today, you’re reading this post
Worship means nothing if it’s your only option
#last line originally read faith but fuck it#not faith in the sense people usually mean#when talking about religion anyway#you can believe in gods existence without believing in his just rule#Satan invented that when he issued his challenge#now god has to prove that people will choose him even when they know there’s other options#it isn’t a fair game by any means but he does have to let other sides have a voice or else he’s proved to be a tyrant#which is the whole question anyway#if god didn’t care about his reputation he would’ve killed Adam and Eve right away as started over#this whole thing is about proving a point and ending a debate#you can’t have a debate with only one side speaking#so listen to demons every now and then#my posts#religion#propaganda

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

(Sees a post on my dash)
I'm starting to think Autism really is a communication disorder.
A lot of symptoms I've heard about sound strange, until I think about them and realize it resembles stuff neurotypical people do, but phrased differently.
Not everything, but a lot of it.
Like 'stemming'. What an unusual thing that I can't understand. Oh, wait, is that the exact same thing as neurotypical finger drumming, foot tapping, nail biting, hair twirling, and fidgeting? Neurotypicals do it when bored, worried, or impatient. Though being jittery or bouncy happens when overly excited.
Is the 'playing wrong' organizing stuff thing just because different objects are used? Like if parents don't waste money on expensive toys? Neurotypical toys include blocks to stack, different sizes of rings to put in the right order, and beads to push back and forth.
And then there's stuff like not liking certain types of clothes, not liking plans to change, and following routines; which are all neurotypical things.
#I'm just in a mood don't mind me#Sometimes you need to look at the general population. Looking for 'is there something weird' in an individual magnifies everything.#Like when I was a teen my step-dad thought it must've been weird that my brother and I swing our arms while walking.#It wasn't until during college that I was like 'Wait. Everyone does that.'#Of course my step-dad also once claimed my mom had unknowingly done a satanic ritual and the devil had impregnated her with half-demons.#So I should've known better than listen to anything he said.#I'm not saying Autism doesn't exist. I'm just saying most symptom lists are made up by paranoid people who don't know Psychology.#...Okay now it's a proper rant.

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.
