the idea that Christians bought and paid for by the blood of Jesus Christ can still, through some gymnastic of free will, end up in Hell is one of the evilest doctrines the devil ever peddled
#Christianity#x#preservation of the saints#it makes me so angry to see 1) the anxiety it produces in Christ's beloved#and 2) the distrust and mischaracterization of God it encourages#once you are justified YOU ARE JUSTIFIED#CASE CLOSED#God doesn't open up your case file again when you're caught in a web of lies and say#'Ope! looks like the life death and resurrection of my divine Son isn't gonna cover this one.'#YOU ARE HELD.

Skizz for Hermit red yarn pins:
1. Mumbo's comment on his last HCs9 video, stating "no word on new members! ☺️" <- weak, but implies that new members are a possibility. Also smilie face is sus
2. Skizz being part of the Guess the Build challenges, along with relatively big names in MCYT
3. Skizz being invited to the server to play Decked Out -- yes, along with other people ("hermit hbomb" red yarn trails off to a separate board here) but he was the first confirmed and the first discussed.
4. The entire OlympZITS event with Zed, Impulse, Tango, Skizz, False, Doc, Joe, Beef, and Cleo
a) Zed: "Have we got all the hermits on? I think we're still gathering people together at the moment. We've got Impulse, Skizz, and Tango there..." b) Tango stream VOD titled "OlypZITS Mini Games with EIGHT Hermits!" and summary: "8 Hermits meet up on Zedaph's patreon server" c) VintageBeef: ""I had a team mate, his name was Impulse, and we were taking on... six- no, SEVEN, other hermits..." d) Doc's offer to give Skizz redstone lessons "soon"
5. Scar's comment about not wanting to give spoilers, implying there's something to spoil
6. Skizz continually talking about how "it's gonna be a big year for the Skizz" and how he and his wife agree that he can't keep doing full time dayjob and MCYT at the same time
tbh point 4b is the nail in the coffin for me, but all this adds up to SKIZZ HERMIT REAL for season 10 and if I'm wrong and my wall of red yarn and pins is a lie I'll find a hat and eat it.
#hermitcraft#hermit skizz#skizzleman#saint pearl preserve us from sweaty redditors who will inevitably make this a nightmare if it's true but they can all just eat a wither ros#skizz my man for hermit 2024

Someone mentioned they thought it was hot that I used this term, and ever since, I have not been able to stop thinking about it...
Having your nose feathered...
Just having someone stroke a feather all around your itchy, twitching nose... they're gonna make you sneeze, sure enough, but first they're gonna tease you... they're gonna run the silky blade of that feather under your nostrils, flick the tip back and forth over your septum, and maybe even twirl it across your cupid's bow before they finally give you what you want... what you need... slipping it inside each nostril in turn until they find that ticklish spot, then holding you still so they can tickle it gently, but mercilessly... maybe they even tease you a bit more at this point, waiting until you hitch a few times, before stopping... letting you hang on the precipice of release just long enough for the urge to die down... then they start again, tickling and feathering away, the fiendishly soft tip teasing that sweet spot... until they finally let you discharge that huge sneeze they've been building up for you... bringing shuddering relief from that terrible, allergic itch you've had all day. It is spring, after all... you sniffle as they wipe your flushed nose, saying, "Goodness, bless you! Well now, don't you feel better? Let's get you cleaned up." 💙
#truly the furthest depths of my brainrot#this isn't even art I'm just spinning yarn at this point#saints preserve us#these late night moods i get into#let's use the new term i just learned:#snzario#snz#snzblr#sneeze#sneezeblr#induced sneezes#inducing#feathers#spicychatter

i've seen talk about how to communicate progressive ideas to evangelicals. you know, things like citing deuteronomy 15, the bible passage that mandates the periodic forgiveness of all debt after 7 year intervals. and i'm like...
that's now how evangelicals (or other flavors of reactionary christians) work.
in the liberal imagination, evangelicals are people who believe in every word of the bible in a literal sense. in that conception, you could conceivably argue with them inside this framework. but that's wrong, isn't it? in reality, evangelicals are people who believe exclusively in the regressive parts of the bible and ignore the parts that contradict them. liberals try to beat someone with chess moves who's actually playing tic-tac-toe.
this is just the same old shit aaron sorkin did with president bartlet on west wing. that character had a minor in theology and was constantly Epically Owning evangelicals on the show by quoting scripture at them. well! in the real world, that had been bill clinton's move. and then evangelicals bombed abortion clinics across the country, while congressional repubs protected them and dems stood by idly. that should've been the ultimate proof that ploy Does Not Work, yet here we are 30 years later.

That verse in 2 Peter is about false teachers who have an intellectual knowledge of Christianity, and are thus held to higher account for their deliberate rejection of it.
Jesus and John make it very clear that Christ preserves his true people, and those who are not preserved never had the Holy Spirit to begin with:
Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name bear witness about me, but you do not believe because you are not among my sheep. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand." John 10:25-29
and
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us. 1 John 2:19
It is far more dangerous to tell Christians that He who began a good work in them is unable to bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ (Phil. 1:6). Because they didn't "cooperate" with his grace (you know, that free & unmerited thing God bestows upon the undeserving by definition).
Would like to reiterate that Christians cannot be possessed.
Christians receive the Holy Spirit based on the finished work of Christ alone.
This means the Holy Spirit never leaves us.
Not even when we go astray and get involved in things Christians shouldn't. Not even when we sin in a big way. I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Thank you.

Summary: Din Djarin. Warrior. Father. Mando'ad. Luke Skywalker. Farm boy. Devoted. Jedi. Two different devotions that mix like oil and water. Stuck in the layer between is the Child, and both want him for their own. The Jedi and the Mandalorian, both vying for their son. In order to fulfill their wants, they must learn to coexist, to learn each other's way of life and maybe, in the end, more about each other. (a religion-centric coparenting fic where luke is too entrenched in his religion, and din has a broken relationship with his.)
Author: @locallmann
Note from submitter: BY FAR one of my top five dinluke fics, if not top three. there is something so beautiful about two people who are hurting in parallel ways, finding the strength to help one another as well as the next generation. no parent wants their kid to hurt like they do. there is so much interesting philosophy at play here, i am amazed, impressed, and occasionally brought to tears

Hiii
Is By starlight going to be the last book or do you plan on doing a fourth?
there will be another fic after By Starlight. it's in early development. i hope #4 will be the last one. we'll see. my objective is to tell the story i want to tell while fixing smeyer's horribly fucked-up pacing, but i have a very clear idea of where this is going and where my endpoint is. tl;dr whatever happens i am committed to doing what the story requires of me
#ideally i will stick to 4#saints preserve me if i need a 5th#i guess it also depends om what the fans want#do you really want to see it through to the end? because idk wtf smeyer was thinking#but she deadass decided in the 11th hour to throw a geopolitical crisis into her silly little 'slice of life' vampire romance#that being said it is Full Steam Ahead and i fucking mean it

hi guys i'm posting again. as much as i love playing characters who have a self-preservation instinct it's so much EASIER to play characters who do not have one even at all especially in situations Like This
#cw:fire#c:megadungeon#cha:alessi#or really like alessi thinks they don't NEED a self-preservation instinct bc their saint and their holy purpose is preserving them#but it was so EASY to just be like 'yeah i charge into the burning building yeah i keep going deeper into the fire yeah i grab the searing-#hot door handle. there's a person in there who might possibly still be alive!' i didn't even have to THINK about it#and not even like. not even a person they KNEW especially well just A Person#and they still couldn't actually get her out alive :( but they still gave it all they had and still managed to get her body out#[i'm going to need to take this next two weeks (:() b4 we play to figure out how they feel about that. beyond 'angry at ragnarr']#i was getting a little worried in there tbh! 14 hp is not very much to end up with! but i didn't have to even consider turning around#and alessi wasn't even a little bit worried about it they knew they'd be fine#that's clerics <3 kings of getting into situations and getting other people out of situations and NOT getting themselves out of situations#and it's such a fun contrast w my other active megadungeon guy being salvador who DOES have the hit-da-bricks instinct#was introduced as the sole survivor of a tpk!#and the fun tension that gives w him being a guy who Does walk the edge of death frequently#and who HAS that castillian bravado and that bravery sword and who IS a bit of a risk taker even just for the sake of taking risks#but who also knows when to get the hell out of dodge bc if you want to stay alive you have to keep yourself alive. and for now he'd really#rather like to be alive!#cha:salvador#okay NOW i'm going shopping#love when meg puts me in a situation <3

Something that’s always been wild to me is how my mother didn’t understand my obsession with death and gore. But dragged me to a church every week, sometimes multiple times, to a place with giant statue of a man in agonizing pain, covered in blood, right in the center.
And read me stories about people dying horrible, awful, brutal deaths with a tone of reverence.
But had the audacity to be uncomfortable when I started drawing creepy ass half dead things. Like, okay, make up your mind. I thought this was a good thing?’
#ex catholic#like I was exposed to this from birth#but then again this is the organization that keeps saints severed fingers in glass cases#but when I want to preserve a dead bat in a jar I’m crazy#like oh hey you see that crying bloody man up there who’s clearly suffering#he loves you#and his dad loves him and is god and this has to happen#oh ok welp time to draw martyrs being drawn and quartered!#fucking madness#I dare you to look up crucifixes#there’s either beautiful suffering or just straight up Hostel shit

One day im going to fuss out the theological like. Assignments structure whatever of the emblems in the divine dragon church (i guess like sorts of guardian spirits or angels or some sort of equivalent that i dont have the vocab for) and also fuss out how at least the royals end up when folded into the faith as saints, part of a semi-desperate bid by alear to immortalize what he can of his friends
(it only partly works because in canonizing them they are forever part of the faith but they are aggrandized and sanctified and thus stripped of some of the human flaws and quirks that made alear so fall in love with them in the first place and so their memory is forever and forever it is tainted)
#katie rambles#needless worldbuilding? yeah. always.#anyways i get sad thinking about this so much that like#one day it really hits alear that his friends are growing old. they're going to die one day.#and he rushes over to his church like 'im god right i can do what i want right then everyone who fought with me is getting sainted'#he doesnt like flexing his title or abusing it but this is an exception#because this way there's always going to be a record of them right he can always keep some memory of them right#and then years down the line having a second realization that they are preserved#but they are perfect. too perfect perhaps.#and they are slipping away from him still#and now he's simply made it worse by clinging to the icons made in their image and the prayers that catch in his throat#(be sad with me damn u all)#fe engage#fe17
