When Hiding is Wise

Sometimes hiding from others is a valid response to avoid unnecessary persecution. The believer who operates on wisdom and faith will make the right choice at the right time. Solomon wrote, “The prudent sees the evil and hides himself, but the naïve go on, and are punished for it” (Prov 22:3; cf., Prov 27:12). In this verse, the prudent man is shrewd and sees evil ahead, and by wisdom “hides…

sorry for answering that ask half asleep. the REAL thing you need to know about dragon age is that it’s not one of those fantasy worlds that’s built really deeply fixed into real history with deep knowledge. it borrows shallowly. it’s built first and foremost to set a videogame in and i love that about it, that it’s built so quickly you can still see the scaffolding went up and how they got there. they decide on a worldbuilding principle—“uhhh what if our jesus figure was [spins wheel] joan of arc?”—and they go for it because they are on a schedule. you should absolutely never be intimidated by dragon age lore it does not know more than you. all i’m doing is being able to make good guesses at what they’re borrowing from and make leaps from there

there's a whole gag in this psych episode centered around a clue being a black impala car and they don't specify the year but they really milk repeating the phrase over and over again. and then we see it and yep . needless to say it was 2012 or thereabouts at the time

there's a lot of hp criticisms that annoy me but the one that's always been most aggravating is disliking JKR for including "Judeo-Chrisitian" literary themes as if including allusions to biblical stories is like bad

the "barista in cthulhu's body conundrum" isn't the annoying trope that's most pervasive on tumblr, but it's certainly up there. people just really, really, REALLY want to believe that human perspectives and modes of interaction are universal.

When I say I want biblical songs and poems, I don't mean worship songs (not that it's a bad thing). I need creepy songs. Creepy but calm songs. Songs that show the bitter truth and ruthlessness of the Bible and the old testament. Songs that make you question the true meaning. Songs that make you fear God but not in a worship way, but in a "we are his barbie dolls" way. Songs that go over stories in the Bible with all the gross and horryfiying details. I NEED THIS

King David: An OT Example of Submission to God

David provides a good example of an OT believer who lived in regular submission to God. The Bible describes David as a man after God’s own heart (1 Sam 13:14; cf. Acts 13:22). David walked faithfully with the Lord and surrendered to His will. David was an obedient king, for the most part, and subsequent kings were measured by him (1 Ki 3:14; 9:4-5; 11:4-6, 31-34, 38; 14:7-8; 15:1-5; 11-15; 2 Ki…

Examples of a family turning against each other

Cain turned against Abel Cain and Abel were the first two sons of Adam and Eve and were brothers. When they became adults, Cain became a farmer and Abel a shepherd. Sometime later, they offered sacrifices to God out of devotion. Cain picked some foodstuffs and sacrificed it to God. However, Abel, by faith, chose one of his best livestock and offered it to God. God accepted Abel’s sacrifice and…

I don't pay attention to MCU anymore, and honestly, I only really like certain aspects of it in retrospect, such as the Steve Rogers's stuff. I think about how outrageously wrong the writers were for writing him having sex before marriage (fornication). First of all, considering the character and values Steve had throughout the entire Infitnity Saga prior to Endgame, it comes off as widely out-of-character for him to having done that before. I'm (not) sorry, but Steve has a massive "I'll have her home by 8, sir. Don't worry." energy to him that I highly doubt he would've even been comfortable with the idea of sex outside of marriage. Steve is a correct type of man, and he'd very probably see it as disrespectful to her for him to do that. He's the type to stop before they go any further, actually, because he feels and knows it's not right. You have to add the fact that he was very probably raised as a Catholic. I don't care how you headcanon him and how much times have changed, Steve is a "by-the-book" kind of guy when it came to that and other things. Was he perfect? Of course not, but I'm (not) sorry, he would've waited until marriage. This isn't even just a baseless headcanon given how it's pretty in-character for him.
