Ideally, tragedy won’t affect our prayer lives. We’d be praying just as much in times of tranquility as in times of trial.

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”

— John 10:10 NIV

ὁ κλέπτης [the thief] does not come if not to steal and θύσῃ [sacrifice, kill, eat] and ἀπολέσῃ [make loss, destroy]
I came that they may have ζωὴν [life] and that they may have it περισσὸν [more, in abundance] 

- John 10:10

3Jn 1:7 NET For they have gone forth on behalf of “The Name,” accepting nothing from the pagans.

"The Name" (singular/One)

And because there is only one Name- the name of the only Lord and Saviour (Jesus Christ), there is only one way to be saved…saved from sin and eternal damnation. This is stated in the book of Acts; Acts 2:38, …“repent and be baptized, everyone of you in the NAME of Jesus Christ (the way/the how), for the remission of sins (the reason) and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost (your visa into Heaven….can’t get there without Him).

Search the scriptures, look at all the baptisms described in the Bible and tell me if they didn’t all baptize in the NAME of Jesus?

We should walk in obedience, and follow what is outlined in the Holy Scriptures!

Forget man made traditions and obey the Word of God.

Blessings to you!

They Are Already Here! Anunnaki Aliens in the Bible. | Jesus vs Yahweh - Paul Wallis

What If the Elohim Stories of the Bible are not God stories, but records of our ancestors’ contact with the Anunnaki. A race of alien beings not from this world.

“To have glued the New Testament to the Old is perhaps the greatest audacity and sin against the spirit that literary Europe has on its conscience.”

—F. Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil, §52 (edited excerpt).

God literally had the worst beta test of all time. Either that or the Bible really truncates Adam and Eve’s “companionship”. How do you go from a sandbox and rib appendages to paranoid schizophrenia and poisoned apples within a 48 hour period?

I hope that God expected to be canceled in His first season.

DM: okay you’re face to face with Goliath and he’s like twice your size

David:… I throw a rock at him with my slingshot

DM: are you sure? This is a fig-

David: I throw a rock at him with my slingshot.

David: *rolls a 20*

DM:…

DM: okay so you kill Goliath

this is so much funnier if you assume the DM is God.

Reblog and put in the tags the name of something you read recently but was really disappointed in

niknokplsstop:

Sup nerds! I say, writing a ten page essay as to the biblical parallels of a minecraft server. Basically I kept making ‘Tommyinnit is Jesus jokes’ until I inevitably actually started thinking hard about it and realised how many parallels to the Bible the Dreamsmp has. So, of course: ten page essay. Hey, I didn’t get top of my year level in Religious Education and go to Catholic school all my life to NOT know things about the Bible. 

Note: These are parallels between the stories! Certain characters are nothng like the Biblical figures they’re parallel with, but their story and characters are. I’ve modified certain situations to fit more, and some parallels are a lot more accurate than others! This is all for fun. This is me relating the Bible to Minecraft for gods sake!

Thanks to @nitpick7and@alipadi for helping me with research, telling me if a joke is funny and for reading this. This is quite old because I kept forgetting to post it lol. Theres a lot more but I haven’t written it yet, hence the ‘part 1?’ because I don’t know when I’ll be continuing this

Tommyinnit and Jesus Christ

Tommyinnit is the son of God himself, Jesus Christ. He died, then three days later rose again in Pandora’s Vault (the equivalent to Jesus’ tomb). He was resurrected by God (Dream, sorta, you’ll see how I contradict myself in the next couple of sentences). During Lent, Jesus spent 40 days alone in the desert with only the Devil and his temptations for company. Tommy, during his exile, spent like a week alone in the wilderness with only Dream (who is also Satan, this is where I contradict myself) and his manipulation for company.

Tommy was willing to sacrifice himself for the good of the people he loves, Jesus literally did just that for all of us. Jesus was hated and inevitably killed for what he stood for, and Tommy is hated and has died, and probably will continue to die for what he stands for (A large percentage of the Pharisees found Jesus ANNOYING. So if you didn’t, please consider getting baptised). When Jesus died, he went to Hell and presumably fist fought Satan. When Tommy died, he went to his Hell, didn’t fist fight Satan, but was confronted with Alivebur and his competitive solitare, which might as well be the same thing /j. 

And as a funnier, more weird parallel, if we’re assuming Tommy’s mother is the Samsung Refrigerator, then we can draw parallels to The Virgin Mary. Samsung Refrigerators, unsurprisingly, can’t have kids, a similar thing with Mary’s whole ‘ever virgin’ thing. Basically I’m saying the fridge went through the Immaculate Conception. 

Tubbo Underscore and Simon Peter

Simon Peter was Jesus’ best friend and right hand, and Tubbo is what Simon Peter was to Jesus to Tommy. To start, Peter was Jesus’ most trusted disciple, like Tubbo is Tommy’s best friend. Since the beginning of his following Peter was there for Jesus, and the same goes with Tubbo to Tommy.

Peter is ‘the cornerstone’ or ‘the foundation’ of the Church and established it as it is today. Tubbo was seen as the ‘heart of L’manburg’ and his presidency was arguably the most useful, productive and peaceful rule (The Church as far as I know hasn’t been blown up three times though). When Tommy and Wilbur (who I’ll get to in a bit) both turned down the presidency, Wilbur handed it off to Tubbo, like Jesus gave Peter the responsibility of leading the Church without Jesus.

Peter denied Jesus three times like Jesus said he would, and Tommy knew that Tubbo didn’t really trust him during Exile. Instead of denying Tommy, Tubbo doubts Tommy. The first is right before Exile when he makes the choice to exile Tommy because he doubts Tommy can change, the second is Tubbo believing Tommy’s dead and doubting he’s alive, and the third is Tommy’s actual death and doubting that he’s dead. 

In the iconic story of ‘Jesus walks on water’, Peter plays a prominent role. That moment on the water, instead of it being that Peter becomes afraid while walking towards Jesus, it’s that Tubbo gives up trying to fight Tommy. In the blown up community house, the day before Doomsday, Tommy and Tubbo have their iconic fight with the line ‘The discs were worth more than you ever were!’. 

This is our metaphorical ‘walking on water moment’, but instead of Peter walking to Jesus, its Tubbo and Tommy being torn further apart. When the iconic disc line is said by Tommy, that’s our version of Peter’s fear on the water. Tubbo suddenly realises what’s happening and stops fighting entirely, ready to let himself drown. But, like Jesus came to grab Peter out of the water, Tommy stands by Tubbo.

Wilbur Soot/Ghostbur and The Holy Spirit

I’m aware how strange this one is. But hear me out, because I’m also aware that I’m really smart (/j). The Holy Spirit is what gives the Disciples hope, courage, the fire in them to go out and do stuff. Wilbur had and has a similar effect, but in a weird way. Let’s break this down. 

L’manburg Wilbur gave the people of L’manburg the hope and the courage to emancipate themselves from the Dreamsmp. He gave Tommy the courage to duel Dream for what he stood for. He gave Tubbo a purpose. He gave Fundy a home. And he gave Eret, though they didn’t end up keeping it, something to fight for. During The L'manburg era, Wilbur was their courage, their hope, their energy for what they did. He was their Holy Spirit.

After Jesus’ ascension, the disciples wait for the Holy Spirit. During Elections, Wilbur’s character based around giving people courage dies and spirals into something dark and cold. This is the 40 days leading up to Pentecost. There is no courage, no hope, no anything, just fear and desperation. When Wilbur dies on November 16th, all courage and hope dies with him. Wilbur takes his apostles’ faith down with him. 

Then there’s our metaphorical Pentecost: the rebuilding of New L’manburg and Ghostbur’s appearance. Wilbur returns as something resembling original L’manburg Wilbur, but not actually that courage and bravery. He returns as Ghostbur, who resembles Wilbur but not in the same ways. This is like how at Pentecost, the Apostles are gifted with the Holy Spirit, but no Jesus. They’re still on their own, but they have the bravery to move on and go out to spread the word and rebuild the Church. In the Dreamsmp, Ghostbur’s return helps spark the rebuilding of New L’manburg.

Ghostbur gives what Wilbur did give and couldn’t give throughout his life. He’s Tommy’s comfort during his exile. He’s Tubbo’s guidance during his presidency. He’s Fundy’s closure. He’s Techno and Phil’s reminder. Ghostbur is a different kind of bravery and purpose than Wilbur was, but it’s still the Holy Spirit within each of them nonetheless. And even without physical presence, he’s still there (Wilbur Soot my beloved I miss your streams king).

OOH YUH GO READ ITS POGCHAMP (TOTALLY NOT BEING HELD AT GUNPOINT RN /J) BUT YES IT IS VERY COOL, GO BESTIE, YOU USE YOUR #1 IN RELIGIOUS EDUCATION, OOH YUH

:

I probably won’t post here again because stumble is distracting me from God. So…here’s what I want to say:

• Jesus loves you
• Jesus wants to SAVE you
• Jesus might be coming soon, so spread His word and stay strong in your faith through everything.
• Study the Bible before you shun it
• Never be afraid to ask real Christians questions about The Bible
• Christianity is more about the relationship with God, than the religion.
• God is always listening to your prayers, He just might not answer how you want Him to
• God’s timing is perfect
• The Holy Spirit will guide you once you’re saved
• Strive to live for God

And I love you!

This is my side blog.

This is also true for this blog.

Thank you for following. I love you all and so does God. Follow Him and listen to Him before it’s too late for you. I love all of you more than you know.

The vaccine Bill Gates is working on might have a chip along with it.

THE MARK OF THE BEAST.

Christians, don’t comprise. Don’t get the chip.

He’s saying that if you don’t get chip, you might not be able to go to the store or anywhere. Exactly what the mark of the beast is explained to be.

The end times might be a lot closer than we think.

Wake up. Stand against the anti-christ. Stand by Jesus. Spread His word and spread The Truth.

Share God’s Word to the world, family, and friends!!! Before it’s too late!

Trust God. Don’t bow down and compromise.

TW: I talk about religion and the government covid situation.

PSA:

some people in the gov. are trying to pass a bill. This bill will make it mandatory that if you are caught outside with a 100.4 fever or higher, you will have to to get the vaccine.

BUT that’s not the bad part. The bad part is that once you are given the vaccine, you HAVE to get a chip put inside you saying you got the vaccine. The last digits of the vaccine label are 06, 06, 06,….if this bill is passed(I highly doubt it) please be careful and avoid getting this tracking chip.

and know that the day of Jesus coming might be soon.

Here are some Jesus/Pontius Pilate sketches because I’ve re-read The Master and Margarita by Bulgakov recently.

This has been living rent free in my head for months and OP tagged it fix-it fic, so. This is not exactly a fix-it plot but consider:

In the Bible, Pilate’s wife pleads with him not to execute Jesus. What if Pilate decides to listen to her? He manages to swing some kind of political arrangement, but he also can’t just let this Problem go wandering around causing a rebellion. So instead Jesus ends up just. Living in Pilate’s palace/villa/whatever under house arrest or something like that and Pilate just being simultaneously fascinated, infuriated, and slowly falling in love with this guy who is supposed to be a political hostage or something like that.

And Pilate’s also watching his wife have this Thing with this weird Jewish rebel but like. He can’t even manage to be jealous even if he feels like he should be. The three of them spend more and more time together, even though it’s making important people question his loyalty to Rome. His perspective begins to shift, and he’s not making the decisions a good Roman would, or the decisions a pragmatic politician would, because he finds himself less and less willing to sacrifice others for power and convenience.

Pilate watches his carefully constructed political career unraveling around him and just. Lets it happen, because he can’t accept the alternative. Pilate and his wife lose their prestige and political security because they’ve been sheltering this wild Jewish rebel, and the volatile nature of the Judean provinces and the cutthroat nature of Roman politics mean that they don’t long survive their fall from power. They live just long enough to see the man they both love crucified before themselves becoming some of the earliest Christian martyrs.

@absynthe–minded this is still your fault, I hope you’re proud of yourself.
