War & Politics: Conquer Evil with Good
We are continuing our series answering the questions of "war & politics". In this post we talk about how to conquer evil with good, which is a crucial point in my framework. For this reason, this post is larger and deeper in scope than the others.
One of the most compelling axioms of our time is the saying “when good men do nothing, evil prevails.” When we look around and see what is being done to babies, how our children are being mutilated, and our society is becoming cruel, desperate, and corrupt, I think we yearn from the deepest recesses of our soul for justice. We look for answers that tell us what we can do about the evils we see…

Can There Be Love in Politics?
The recent presidential debate left many of us pondering not just political strategies, but deeper questions about kindness, truth, and our capacity to love one another. As I watched, I couldn’t help but feel empathy for both candidates. Biden, struggling to articulate his thoughts coherently, and Trump, bold in his statements yet sometimes lacking in grace. Love is a word often tossed around,…

It's so easy for us to fall into evilness and give into our sinful nature. When someone does something that you don't like and it upsets or frustrates you, you sometimes want them to feel the way they made you feel. It should go without saying that two wrongs don't make a right. If we are truly walking in the spirit and following Jesus we can't seek out ways to harm one another, because you will reap what you sow. Yes, that includes the person who set out to harm you or make you upset or frustrated.

The Dark Night of the Soul...
I was thinking about the expression, ‘the dark night of the soul’ and what that means in terms of living your life when facing serious challenges and difficulties. Surprisingly, the expression cannot be found in the Bible but was attributed to a spiritual philosopher named John of the Cross who penned a poem by the same name. It is meant to describe a feeling of lack of purpose, the absence of…

Today, I would like to remind you to forgive others, just like we were taught by God. Here are some scriptures about forgiveness, not holding grudges and not seeking revenge.
God uplifts those who are mocked and made fun of. God will take care of your situation, so leave it in His hands. Talk to Him and tell Him how you're feeling about what you're going through, and put your trust in Him. He will take care of it. Jesus said that if we ask, it will be given to us (Matthew 7:7). Continue asking God for His help. You'll see, He will take care of it. He will guide you, give you peace, strength, love and joy.
Remember to not seek revenge. Keep in mind that you're not supposed to be the judge. Only God can judge you and other people. Don't try to take everything in your hands, for God is in control. Leave your burdens in His Hands and trust Him. Ask Him to help you forgive others, for it's very hard to do it alone. Only God can give you the strength to free you from it, so keep on praying and don't get discouraged.
Also, I wanted to remind you to treat other people like you would like to be treated (Matthew 7:12). Don't think of people that mock you and make fun of you as enemies, and don't treat them in a bad way. Instead, keep on sharing your love with others and offer them a helping hand when they need it.
“Be even-tempered, content with second place, quick to forgive an offense. Forgive as quickly and completely as the Master forgave you.” (Colossians 3:13)
“Then Peter came to Jesus and asked: ‘Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?’ Jesus answered: ‘I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.’ ” (Matthew 18:21-22)
“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don't forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” (Matthew 6:14-15)
“Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.” (Romans 12:14)
“Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: ‘It is Mine to avenge; I will repay,’ says the Lord. On the contrary: ‘If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.’ ” (Romans 12:17-21)
“Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil.” (Psalm 37:8)

once you die the only choice being coming back full of rage or not coming back at all..... like.... maybe jace WAS a genuinely good dude, he chaperoned the rat grinders to the mountains of chaos because they weren't strong enough. and then when faced with the choice between dying himself, leaving them there all half-dead where no one might find them vs coming back wrong but being able to get them back to safety. like maybe he just knew it was his only way to protect them. maybe maybe maybe.
#because lucy and yolanda chose to go. chose to be trapped without the peace of the afterlife rather than be overcome with rage#but of course buddy in the last stand and the rest of the rat grinders are gonna choose to come back. powerful.#they're children. when faced with eternal imprisonment or life what are you gonna choose?#so the fact that jace also chose to come back is interesting#because he's an adult he's a magic user he must have known it wouldn't be good.#so either he's evil. or he was trying to look out for them.#fantasy high#d20#dimension 20#fhjy

On Romans 13: Submission & Government
Romans thirteen is inevitably the first passage that Christian peacemakers need to contend with. Often it’s used as grounds to prove that Christians can set aside the teachings of Jesus in service of their country. But I believe Christians, having been heavily influenced by Augustine and his subsequent theologians, have made catastrophic errors in interpreting Paul’s writings by disconnecting…

I love the idea of Hiccup being plagued with guilt whenever he's not able to bond with a dragon or has to fight one (despite it often being self defense he has no choice in). Like, the whole thing with the skrill probably weighed on him for years until they caught it again and he chose to release it.
#cant exactly blame him for the skrill#it was a hostile dragon he couldn't let dagur have it it was the only solution he saw at the time#he was just a kid then too#but whenever he has to fight a 'bad dragon' he must feel so guilty#like he knows dragons are like humans in the sense they have equal capacity for good and evil#and are sometimes even intelligent enough to be aware of it#but whenever he has to fight one (possibly even kill it) he probably thinks to himself 'doesn't this make me no better than the hunters?'#logically he knows its different but its always hard to separate stuff like that to overcome guilt#anyways yeah ty for attending my hc ramble if you actually read the tags ily#httyd#httyd rtte#rtte#hiccup haddock#httyd headcanon#httyd dob#hiccup headcanon#how to train your dragon headcanon#moth.txt#httyd brainrot#httyd headcanons#deyas dragons

I’ve always found it super interesting that when Callum is encased in stone in the opening he doesn’t shed a tear, unlike Viren in the opening or Avizandum in the show.
Avizandum and Viren both have significant regrets. Avizandum fears for his mate and his egg as well as the fate of Xadia. While we know he reveled in squashing the ants (humans) I can’t help but think he genuinely was concerned for Xadia and the impact humans invading could have on the land. Ultimately of course, he reaches for Zym, the newly laid egg, and Zubeia…his family, before he is turned to stone.
Viren on the other hand is without a kingdom (a king) and frankly without a true lease on life. He has 30 days to live and must free Aaravos, the reviled Startouch elf, to extend his life.
So why does Viren cry a single tear before he is encased in stone, while Callum does not?
Because one will have great regret when they fully realize they have fallen into Aaravos’s hands, and one will not.
We see clearly from s5 that Viren is repentant and regretful about his actions and the path he has set Claudia on. My guess from the teaser is that he will try to appeal to Ezran to save his daughter from Aaravos, but unbeknownst to him, Callum and Rayla have set off with Aaravos’s prison. By this point it is out of Ezran’s hands on what to do.
Meanwhile we have Callum who is bursting with self-doubt, and untold resentment and love for Rayla. But as we see in the teaser (*cough* screencap where Callum touches Rayla’s chin *cough*) there clearly will be a reckoning between Callum and Rayla regarding their relationship. This leads me to believe that not only will Callum reconcile with Rayla but that he’ll also reconcile the situation with Rayla’s parenteral figures by freeing them from the coins. (Personally I’m a huge fam of Callum using dark magic to do so but its still very possible he’ll utilize the quasar diamonds/corona to do so.) All this to say, once Callum succumbs to Aaravos’s control, he will have no regrets. For whatever reason, he will think those close to him, whether Ezran, Rayla or Amaya, are in good hands and that regardless of his absence will be fine without him.
#tdp#tdp callum#aaravos#the dragon prince#tdp rayla#tee hee what if callum did the unthinkable because he thought he was doomed#and used an incredibly powerful dark spell to free Rayla’s family#because he was doomed either way?#so why not do this last good act#before he proceeds to do unthinkable acts of evil#will Ezran have a moment where he overcomes great odds through sheer diplomacy?#surely he doesn’t need Callum anymore then right?#its clown hour again 🤡
