This Verse Secretly Undermines All of Christianity...
youtube
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.

I just saw someone call a pc that had an i5 and windows 10 retro. Buddy win10 hasn't even reached end of support yet???? You can still buy PCs with i5's in them from big box stores??? Is it retro because it actually has decent I/O? Is it retro to have decent I/O, expansion and compatibility options???? It had a blu-ray drive. They still make those too. IT DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A SOUNDCARD. Like sure it had a floppy drive, but the addition of a floppy drive doesn't make the entire device retro. If I plug a USB floppy drive into a high end gaming pc, the whole PC isn't considered retro.
#tetranymous.txt#It only had 5 expansion bays. For a full size actually retro pc I'd expect at least 8#Personally around the 15 year old mark is when I start considering a pc to be retro#This was not it#For example my 17 year old laptop and 19 year old XP pc are firmly in retro territory; although recently#My IBM portable is undoubtedly in retro territory at 42 years old; with my amigas at 35#But my 13 year old thinkpad? Not there yet. Hasn't breached the 15 year old threshold.#I say this as a person who still used a beige box pc w a floppy drive until 2013. It still wasn't retro then.#(was a 2000s beige box; not a 90s beige box. It had a blue swoosh and 2 gpus in crossfire. What a beast)#Gosh looking back at the numbers my surface is a baby compared to the rest of them. It's 4.

If Jesus Came Back Today, What Would He Say to America?
He wasn’t who they expected him to be. He said things they didn’t expect him to say. In a dramatic passage from the Book of Revelation, John described Jesus as the Alpha and Omega and the King of Kings; but let’s not forget that he had a very different role when he first came to earth. Isaiah 53 portrays a man who was rejected and spurned by the very people he came to save. While he was here on…

I have taken nyquill for our Mystery Airport Sickness and all I'm doing is thinking about our Lavellan. Goddamn. Our Lavellan. Sorcen Lavellan my beloved. He did not get on with Solas, which was incredibly fun. Even Solas' most comparitively vanilla ideals/standpoints on elves or the world, he disagreed with. Sorcen was the Lavellan who punched Solas, and even though this never made it into the game, Solas absolutely dragged Sorcen's arm through that last Eluvian in Tresspasser. Dear god. The pitch potential. I've never seen that before, holy shit, thank you Homestuck for pitch romance.
#my t#We wrote Sorcen as very young (19 at the start of Inq) and very intellegent although that intellegence was obscured by impulsivity.#One of my favourite exchanges that our partner system and I talked about in our rpverse was on the topic of vallaslin#and how in Solas' time they were slave markings.#At this point Solas was Just Solas#just a stuffy old fashioned elf who somehow was neither a city elf or a Dalish#so he confused Sorcen a lot. And older adults who confused Sorcen didn't get much respect from him lol. He's too busy for that.#But Sorcen (correctly imo) noted that more than enough time has passed for vallaslin to take on an entirely different meaning.#Legit no ancestor or ancestor's ancestor considered vallaslin to be anything other than Theirs and extremely important culturally.#As you can imagine Solas didn't like that ahahaha.#He would've been incredibly frustrating to Solas because Sorcen was FULL of raw magical talent and apitude but 1)#He could barely control that shit. Magic boiled out of him until it overflowed and it was very dangerous for him and others.#and 2) even when Solas did try to offer help Sorcen brushed him off because... he's Solas ahahaha.#“How can one elf be so sure about his misguidance”#“Fucking stick it old man I have a dragon to hunt”

Overcome Evil by The Spirit of The Lord (231) - February 3 2024
Play on other Podcast Apps It is time to go around the mountain once more. We as the Body of Christ must learn to speak to the mountains in the world that need to be removed (Mark 11:23). There are mountains everywhere to be cast into the sea. Mountains of captivity for the souls in Afghanistan. Mountains of sickness and disease in people’s bodies. Mountains of lack.

Summary: Task Force 141 operates successfully without an omega, at least that’s what Price has been saying since its formation. Two alphas and two betas balance the pack just fine, and they have the numbers to prove it.
It works for a while, until the Omega Initiative is born and the 141 find themselves having to adjust to the sudden addition of an omega to their pack. Fresh out of an institute, you’re hardly fit for their secretive, dangerous world, or so Price thinks.Â
As each member of the team gets closer to you, things begin to come to light, not only about you but about the decision to force you into their lives.
Maybe, just maybe, Price was wrong and the 141 does need an omega after all.Â
Pairings: Poly 141 x reader, Price x Gaz, Ghost x Soap
Warnings: Alpha/Beta/Omega dynamics, NSFW content, explicit smut, fingering, oral (m and f receiving), knotting, biting, claiming, mating cycles, Alternate Universe, a/b/o typical classism and sexism, age differences, military inaccuracies, canon typical violence, blood, weapons, language, no use of Y/N, brief torture, hurt/comfort, let's be real this is so unrealistic but it's a/b/o you're not here for accuracy.
