Just wondering if you too have gotten any biblical character nominations…

-sincerely @ultimatemalewifepoll

We have indeed! So far we've had

King David of Israel

(Who is possibly the ultimate Biblical twink, and deserves more than two noms)

And while not Biblical, we still have a religious figure in Saint Sebastian, also with two noms!

None for Saint John the Apostle, yet. Shame!

αὕτη ἐστὶν ἡ ἐντολὴ ἡ ἐμή, ἵνα ἀγαπᾶτε ἀλλήλους καθὼς ἠγάπησα ὑμᾶς:

John 15: 12.

Translation:

This is the command of me, that you love one another as I loved you. (Literal).

My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. (NIV).

This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. (KJV).

Silly Rabbi!

JOKE-OGRAPHY: My favorite part of this one is that I've added/paraphrased almost nothing here.  In the Bible story, Jesus is told that His good friend Lazarus has died, so He plans to go bring him back from the dead (or "awaken him").  He tells the disciples that Lazarus has "fallen asleep", but the disciples take that literally and try to comfort Jesus by saying Lazarus will awaken on his own.  Jesus reiterates very clearly that by "fallen asleep", He means Lazarus died.  Thomas is reluctant to let Jesus go to Judea, because last time they were there, apparently Jesus riled up the Jews with His "Son of God" wallamaguckery, but Jesus doesn't let a silly little thing like angry people plotting to arrest and murder Him get in the way of an unslumber party with His best pal!

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Before the mantle of the earth was cooled, before the sea was sealed in its basin, before the sky was locked in place above the clouds, and before the first "Tomic" was officially published, a cartoon was drawn.  Now, it is reborn.  This is not technically a "Tomics Resurrection", because the original did not bear the "Tomics" name.  No, this was after the era of sand and scholars but before the era of blood and time, and now, it's our very first "Proto-Tomic Resurrection".  I've taken a random digital Jesus comic that I drew for my own amusement before my Tomics days and made it part of the official Tomics family.  Here's the original for reference.  You'll note a drastic change in character design, background art, and handwriting, and hopefully you'll agree I've improved, or else we're going to have some major problems:

Sorry for obsessing over the greatest disciple (John). It will happen again.

12 and 25 for the Christian ask game!

Somehow I missed this, sorry!

12. Who is your favorite disciple?

As my username probably gives away, it's John. St John was actually instrumental in me finding Christ, and his was the first gospel I read. And John's gospel is bursting with love.

25. If you could ask Mother Mary one thing, what would it be?

I would ask her how much she knew about her son's destiny, and for how long.

Somehow Christ's boyfriend is losing to Christ's stepdad and I won't stand for that. Vote for St John, the disciple whom Jesus loved!

IDK what to tell you?

But your mod did in fact vote for Joseph over John. I love John but St Joseph has the BEST lines in all of Scripture ;)

Keep sending propaganda for St John the Baptist!

This one's going to be TIGHT.
