yeah we might be brothers in christ but so were cain and abel so shut the fuck up before i decide to find a rock about it
#postscript;#if you try to tell me cain and abel were not brothers in christ shut up pls#i've studied theology for nearly a decade. i know more than you.#christ's harrowing of hell exists to retroactively turn all of humanity even before his existence into ''brothers'' in christ#because it is not a literal term it is an evangelist term. bc christianity in all denominations is evangelistic in nature#not being a christian is 1. a moral incorrect choice according to them and#2. not actually possible. everyone is judged as a christian everyone is fundamentally supposed to be christian#calling someone a brother in christ is just calling them christian.#so ergo according to doctrine cain and abel are in fact brothers in christ#but#and this is far more important than any of that#i was not trying to be perfectly accurate to the theological timeline of the tanakh vs torah vs old testament vs new testament vs apocrypha#i was trying to make a silly one line joke on the internet#and all you do when you try to go Well Actually They Werent is make yourself look stupid and pedantic.#so for the love of god stop it with needing to be right online im so bored and tired

not latinist. koine greek enjoyer. gonna do this in 2nd declension, masculine
SINGULAR
NOMINATIVE: ό βλωρβος: ha blorbas. inflected meaning: the blorbo
GENITIVE: του βλωρβου: tou blorbou. inflected meaning: of the blorbo
DATIVE: τω βλωρβω: toh blorboh (work with me here, this is tumblr not a paper, i'm trying to sound it out as phonetically as possible with my limited keyboard). inflected meaning: to/from the blorbo
ACCUSATIVE: τον βλωρβον: ton blorbon. inflected meaning: the blorbo
PLURAL
NOMINATIVE: oí βλωρβοι: hoi blorboi. inflected meaning: the blorbos
GENITIVE: των βλωρβων: tohn blorbohn. inflected meaning: of the blorbos
DATIVE: τοις βλωρβοις: tois blorbois. inflected meaning: to/from the blorbos
ACCUSATIVE: τους βλωρβους: tous blorbous. inflected meaning: the blorbos
(had to replace rough breathing marks with accents, also no iota subscript on dative singular because my phone greek keyboard does not have ancient greek capabilities. no accents for any other vowels because i am lazy)
i did this instead of my greek quiz. i also did way too much and got carried away. this was meant to be a meme post. it is now informative
btw it’s blorbo, blorbonis, third declension common gender noun, yes?

January 2024 Biblical Studies Carnival
The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it. It began with the forging of the Great Biblioblogs. Three were given to the Old Testament academics, immortal, wisest and oldest of all topics. Seven to the New Testament scholars, great miners and craftsmen of Christian wisdom. And nine,…

By the end of the first century AD all of the twenty-seven documents that now constitute the New Testament were written and had begun to circulate among early Christians. However, it was not until centuries later that these texts were collectively named as part of the authoritative body of Christian scripture. The process by which this occurred is called “canonization.” The term canon comes from the Greek word kanōn, meaning “measuring rod” or “measuring stick,” and was frequently applied in the ancient church to the collection of texts that informed the beliefs and practices of the Christians who read them.[1] While the terms scripture and canon are often used interchangeably, there is a subtle yet important distinction between the two: scripture, as the term is commonly used by scholars, denotes the inspired and authoritative status of a written document, whereas canon typically refers to a defined list of such documents.[2] This distinction is significant because Christians did not begin to create, much less agree upon, such lists until long after the death of Jesus Christ (ca. AD 30). Thus, for several centuries, the earliest Christians considered many texts to be scriptural but had no commonly accepted canon....

44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. 45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: 46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it. - Matthew 13:44-46 KJV
I was listening to this song about v. 44 above, and it struck me that the treasure the man found was far more valuable than the purchase price of the field. Selling "all that he had" was hardly a sacrifice for the man, compared with what he knew he would gain by buying that field. Likewise, when we give our all to the Lord, we find in time that the Lord gives us far more in return.
Unlike the man in the first parable, who happened upon his treasure, the merchant was actively searching for "goodly pearls". And he found one: a "pearl of great price". It was of such a high value that the merchant, like the man with the field, was willing to sacrifice all that he had in order to obtain it. No doubt he knew the value of pearls and had come across many already. No doubt he understood just how priceless this singular pearl was. "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you" (Matt. 7:7). Those who honestly seek the truth will find it, and will understand the eternal value of what they have found.
No matter how we come by the gospel of Jesus Christ, whether by happenstance or by diligent search, the same sacrifice is asked of each of us: "all that [we] have". But the return is far greater: eternal life in the presence of God.
That is why the kingdom of heaven is like the man and the merchant: because it is filled with those who understand this, filled with those who sacrificed all other treasures for the matchless gift to be there.

Seek the Lord and Live
4 The Lord says this to the family of Israel:

Book Review: The Book of Enoch for Beginners
In 2014, the Darren Aronofsky’s Noah soared at the box office while causing angst among people of faith everywhere. Countless movie goers walked into the theater expecting Russell Crowe to retell the familiar tale of Noah’s ark, only to walk out dazed and confused by what they had just seen. For instead of the Sunday school version of Noah’s story, they had witnessed a retelling filled with…

Thursday September 12th
Third class day of the new fall semester, yay! And the second day of New Testament Greek classes. I am really excited for this course. I am taking three others as well.
I also got cast in the lead for the school’s upcoming production of Shakespeare’s King Lear. Rehearsals start tomorrow evening. Exciting!
