The Greatest Commandment

28 One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?” 29 “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” 32 “Well said, teacher,” the man replied. “You are right in saying that God is one and there is no other but him. 33 To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.” 34 When Jesus saw that he had answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And from then on no one dared ask him any more questions. — Mark 12:28-34 | New International Version (NIV) Holy Bible, New International Version®, NIV® Copyright ©1973, 1978, 1984, 2011 by Biblica, Inc.® Used by permission.

Have You Read The Bible?

Have you ever picked up the Bible and wondered what it holds within its pages? For centuries, this ancient collection of texts has been a source of inspiration, guidance, and wisdom for millions around the world. Whether you’re a person of faith, a seeker of knowledge, or simply curious about one of the most influential books in human history, reading the Bible can be a profoundly enriching…

[jasperygrace]

Niv is one of the many who've been wronged by the powers that be, and one of two who managed to survive the inferno. His motivations are fueled by the grief of losing his people.

Now, he searches for a new body-- a body that can stand up against the might of Deities. And who better a candidate than the Deity lapdog himself, the Regis Vicaria.

(CW: Violence)

“You just have to make everything so difficult, don’t you?!” Niv yelled. Still gripping his throat, Niv shoved him onto the ground, the chair he’d been tied to breaking by the impact. Then Niv brought his foot down and stomped on Orias’ neck. The blow would have been strong enough to kill a Rane. “Fine, you don’t want to help me?” Niv hissed. “Then you can live knowing that all of this is your fault.” “That’s not… true…!” he managed to choke out. He could feel the black blood searing in his throat. “Oh yea?” He stretched out his palm, shade manifesting into a spear. He stabbed it into Orias’ chest. “Who was the one that ran away and left the settlement to die, huh?” He stabbed him over and over again. “You’d rather save the life of a Deity lapdog than your own people!!” “I-I… saved you…” “You should have let me die.”

Now, we’re going to keep those introductions going. What is the antagonist or opposing force in your story? I know this might not be a character, so interpret it however you would like!

"Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded."

James 4:7-8, NIV

[incorrect-mtg]

Niv-Mizzet: With our success in creating our own artificial omenpaths, I believe we are ready to move to the next stage in the Omenpath Project – sending a Ravnican through one of them.

Proft: That's very ahead of schedule! Should we look for volunteers?

Niv-Mizzet, arriving at the test chamber: I have already procured one.

Proft:

Proft: That's Rakdos.

Niv-Mizzet: Correct.

Proft: He's even still sleeping.

Niv-Mizzet: A representative from the Rakdos assisted us with moving him to the test chamber.

Proft: Are you sure having a Parun as the first test subject is a good idea?

Niv-Mizzet: What's the worst that could happen? That the omenpath is unstable and we finally find a way to kill him for good? That he ends up somewhere else where he isn't my problem?

Proft:

Proft: I can't change your mind on this, can I?

Niv-Mizzet: No.

Rakdos: *snork mi mi mi*

[thatweirdmethodistlesbian]

I recommend reading the entire chapter of Romans 14, but here's a short excerpt:

"Accept one whose faith is weak, without quarreling over disputable matters.

One person's faith allows them to eat anything, but another, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables.

The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them.

Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand.

One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind.

Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord. Whoever eats meat does so to the Lord, for they give thanks to God; and whoever abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.

For none of us lives for ourselves alone, and none of us dies for ourselves alone."

-Romans 14:1-7 NIV

In this chapter, the apostle Paul shows us how we as Christians ought to treat those around us with differing views, not with judgement but with understanding and grace. In today's world it can very much feel like we are forced into seeing everything through a lens of us-vs-them, but we are called to lead lives of empathy, compassion, and love. After all, the law and prophets' teachings are all summed up with the command to love God and love one another. What are some ways you can apply this into your life today?

[monaddecepticon]

Can confirm. Install nixos. **NOW**

Depending on which kind if games you play you might not even need to keep windows

i have like 5 years linux experience, mostly on my laptop with arch while i was in school. this install will be the first time having dual boot on my gaming pc that usually runs only windows. the install will primarily be for me to use my PC for productive things like programming and art but also movies/reading/games. it has an amd CPU and GPU if that matters.

or give suggestions i dont care

[seraphic555]

The entire world is in your mind which means whatever you consider “plausible” “possible” or “likely” happens. Once you start to defy the so-called rules of reality and return to your Self, everything will be considered possible to you.

Matthew 19:26 NIV:

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

[sarahgvang]

Matthew 5:9 NIV

[9] Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.

Lord, open the eyes of my heart and mind that I may see and understand the truth and goodness of your word. May I never fail to recognize your presence with me and to call upon your saving grace in my time of need and healing. In Jesus' name, amen.

[todd-queen]

so I have actually not stopped thinking about the bible verses in Nona the Ninth

(they are actually over taking my every waking moment)

I was raised with a religous parent, so in addition to solving the numbers code, I was curious what any of the actual verses from the book of John were, and typed them into biblegateway.com today.

And god. damn. it. Muir has done it again.

The very first verse is John 20:8 (NIV):

"Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed."

TAMSYN!!! HOW DID YOU GET THE NUMBERS TO LINE UP PERFECTLY FOR THE CODE A N D THE BIBLE VERSE????

i am losing my mind so much

i compiled them all into a Google doc and took a screenshot, so please let me know if the image doesn't load right :)

i went through all the verses and wrote them down to try and find a quote in each chapter that at least correlated to each theme of the verse(s) (please forgive me if they aren't perfect- and feel free to add on!)

[walkswithmyfather]

John 14:9-14 (NIV). [9] Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? [10] Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. [11] Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves. [12] Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. [13] And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. [14] You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.”

“Making Requests of God” By In Touch Ministries:

“What does it mean to ask in Jesus’ name?”

“Jesus knew the crucifixion was soon, so the Last Supper was an opportunity to impart final words of comfort and wisdom to His disciples. One topic on His mind was prayer. Jesus told His friends, “If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it” (John 14:13-14). What does it mean to ask in Jesus’ name?

First, depend solely on Jesus’ mediation. We became children of God when we acknowledged our helplessness and trusted in Christ’s atoning death on our behalf. He acted as our mediator and reconciled us to the Father (1 Timothy 2:5). If we want to pray for big (or small) things, we must continue in that same spirit of dependence on Christ.

Second, seek Jesus’ ongoing forgiveness. Sin remains in our world and continues to distract us, so we must practice regular repentance when we make mistakes. That means we confess sin to God, turn away from that attitude or behavior, and receive God’s forgiveness and cleansing (1 John 1:9). Then we can approach Him with a clear conscience.

Third, offer a prayer that aligns with God’s word. One way to think of this is to pray something Jesus Himself might ask.

Prayer is most effective when we rely fully on our Savior’s sacrifice and forgiveness and ask in His name. Remember: “Apart from [Him] you can do nothing” (John 15:5), but “with God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26).”
