fandom's got my heathen Indian ass googling the difference between 'seraphim' and 'cherubim' like a fucking maniac

#the answer is no they're not the same thing. but oh holy shit there's so much angel lore apparently in the bible #i am never going to understand it so i'll do what i want now #good omens #for context i never attended a church session except for once when i went to catholic kindergarten (long story) for like exactly two months #before my parents took me out because i fought with a nun.#i didn't know anything about the bible until high school. and yes btw this is a peaceful way to live.

HOLY COW YOUR BIBLE POSTS

I’ve been Christian for 15 years and I never thought about the prophets as whumpees. I am enraptured by this take on the Bible.

Also, have you gotten to Jezebel yet? Her death is *chef’s kiss*

JEZEBEL IS ANOTHER FAVOURITE OF MINE YES. not as in omg i love her but as in wow amazing story. for anyone who doesnt know jezebel was prophesised to die and have her body be eaten by dogs so that she would never be buried. and thats exactly what happened. very very whumpy. and u know what? im not mad abt it at all bc she wanted to hurt my dear dear elijah... no one hurts my dear dear elijah.

im glad u like my bible posting :) ive been told my comments and opinions r... very fresh. a new perspective /j the thing is- yes im reading the bible but im also super super cynical abt it and i also have "must project onto the characters and must read it like its a YA novel" disease. like bc of my bad experience w religion i went into it Wanting to poke holes in it lol but the more i read the more i understand how it works. and the more i understand that most of the Bad Bible Things ive heard growing up were either completely taken out of context or straight up lies. its a little comforting ngl

#my intense desire to poke holes in the story and bring up every messed up thing god does is just the other side of the coin for me #w one side being 'i want the bible to be good so so so bad'#so i poke holes in it and hope someone debunks them yknow #well u guys dont rly see me poking holes in it i only share the fun stuff here #but yes anyway i am super glad u enjoy it lol #as im reading im thinking... im glad im documenting my first read thrh #bc if i do become christian and i do get sucked into this whole world again #i want to be able to look back at my first impression #instead of getting stuck in my views #idk if that makes any sense sorry #ANYWAY #asks #poetryofdory #not so holy bible posting

The Blood of a Friend Continued… Sold to Demons

Why have I been rejected by my great-grandmother? Vira, what have we done to you, and why have you sold us to be the wives of demons? I was Seven. A little girl when you put the turquoise ring on my finger and anointed me with the oils. Telling me it was perfume, and giving me a gift to tell me that I was “special.” why would you do this to me?

What did you sell me for? By the time I was nine the demon said, “It’s okay…. You'll get used to it!” as this lonely demon fondled a child. I was too little. I wanted to be playing with my Barbies, and wrestling with my brother. But Barbies weren’t the same anymore and neither was wrestling with my brother. I couldn’t. By the time I was thirteen, I was completely adjusted to the demons. I went searching for ways to get out.

I studied everything that my demons did and said. I asked them questions and by the time I was twenty-one years old, I knew the ins and outs of all sorts of different types of demonic assignments. Who sends them and why? What they do. This was completely learned from watching demons, from demons, and one outside spiritual force. Not a spirit guide. I always rejected my spirit guides. I felt bad intentions coming from them.

Where was I supposed to go? Who would save me? Would anyone love me for more than my body was worth? I found someone. His name is Yahuah, and his son Yahusha, and the real friend that I had was the Ruach. Why these beings? When I went desperately seeking I found. I found someone who loved me and called me by my name. I didn't understand that I was worthy of being loved, so it took some years for me to completely warm up to him. I still have my struggles.

He loved me like a father loves his child. Like a deep love between a man and his wife. He took care of me and kept a roof over my head. When I was hungry he fed me. I received new knowledge from him and understood that our demons were lying most of the time. Using us manipulating us and toying with us and our imaginations for selfish gain. He showed me the way the truth and the life. I sought and I found. I knocked and the door was opened, I asked for him to love me. And he did.

His love is so sweet. It's something that my humanity could never understand. I gave my life to him to be a light to others in this dark world. I found freedom, everlasting peace, and joy amid my sorrows. And now I share special moments with Him all the time. About the demons who were with me. They quaked in fear of him and were rendered powerless in Yahuah’s presence. Mighty is he. All of the abuse that I went through was wiped away. I felt like a virgin again.

This may not make sense to others, but I was set free. Now I am spoiled by him in ways more than physical blessings. He tells me that I am special and we have our sweet moments. He doesn’t use me. But to answer your question no I would never judge a Satanist, because I know exactly what it’s like to be in their shoes. Good and bad. I love them. Yahuah tells me not to judge them because he loves them too. Yahuah is the only god that I serve. No one else.

The End

But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

-Luke 2: 8-12

I'm not religious in any shape or form in my eyes the Bible is just a cool little (no it's actually quite long actually) story that says to be nice to others sometimes

#is there a non religious bible fandom #like being not christian just reading the bible for funsies #like a holy book club for atheists #can jesus be my blorbo #I'm curious #i wanna read ghe bible but from the perspective of it being a fun fictional story #maybe sci fi with all the god and angel stuff

The idea that a god-like character with (supposedly) unlimited powers should snap their fingers at the end of a TV series and remove all pain and terrible things in the world so humans no longer had any suffering is the most BAFFLING thing I have ever heard. WHY DID THE SHOW EVER EXIST IF FIXING THINGS WAS THAT EASY??????

#It seems like this 'gotcha' card that overrides any argument someone could have #but it's actually the laziest zero thought behind it belief I have ever seen #And it complete ignores the function and structure of a story #Holy shit #Like... that's literally Adam and Eve before Eve ate the apple #That kind of utopia is literally in the Bible and in general is considered bad #It was certainly painted as bad in the show! Because Eve gave us free will and choice and the opportunity to self-determine who we are #And that's good! That's considered better than the Garden of Eden!#And yes choices have led to the godawful structures in place on Earth today and all the godawful death and suffering that goes with it #BUT THIS STUPID LITTLE TV SHOW ABOUT THE DEVIL WASN'T SPEAKING ABOUT ALL THE EVILS IN THE WORLD!!!#It was talking about how you always have a choice to do better! That everyone can be redeemed!#It's a much MUCH narrower scope because that's what story does! It picks one thing and speaks to it #And sometimes that thing is indeed Wow modern capitalism has completely fucked the world like The Good Place showed #But even The Good Place didn't use the Judge to snap her fingers and change Earth #She could have! She certainly had the power too!#But no instead they argued against wiping out the entire Earth and starting over in favor of revamping the afterlife instead #to allow people a second chance and support to do better #Which is EXACTLY where Lucifer ended up too with the titular character playing therapist in Hell #That is a strong ending! That is a hopeful ending! Because it's speaking to the audience as individuals and saying you have a choice #You always have a choice to do better. No mistake you make is too irredeemable so don't let yourself drown guilt #because guilt fixes nothing. Only your choice to try again can change things #God snapping their fingers and rewriting Earth is not a hopeful; realistic; or satisfying ending to a 6 season show about free will!#It makes no sense!#like jfc I don't want to drag one singular person through the mud but their opinions are just so mind-boggingly to me #It's like beating my head against the wall

I can't participate in general online fandom discussions about theories or AUs or unexplained things because it reminds me too much of the same in mormon and christian ponderings over the book of mormon and the bible.

I've never been interested much in those books because they're 1. extremely confusing and 2. decontextualized to the point of being useless.

In my last year of church I read a lot of doctrinal analysis; semi-scholarly stuff that was reaching past the texts or trying to apply alternate interpretations and I never found any satisfaction in it. I still don't.

The book of mormon is a poorly written biblical fanfic set in the "american continent" AU. Whatever its purported authors mean to convey to our "modern day" they have done extremely badly especially considering that its entire existence is meant as a kind of rebuke against the "confusing mess" of christianity.

The bible is even more confusing, difficult, and decontextualized, (and maybe not historical) and yet people sing its praises. Maybe a god can only be God if they're really really bad at communicating.

#I do enjoy talking about stories but I have to do it in a context-rich way: with people I know fairly well #and one-on-one or in a small group #The baked-in confusion in christianity is infuriating - nothing is clear nothing is straightforward #and everyone treats the confusion as a sign of His love #I've often felt and many others do too that the christian god is an absent father that can't be bothered to even #the book of mormon #mormonism #the holy bible #bible #book of mormon #christianity #fandom #my blog

Untold Archaeology of the Temple Mount — Rare Footage

youtube

Archaeology at the Temple Mount is strictly forbidden. However, over the past hundred years, the Temple Mount went through many renovations, during which archaeologists were able to document incredible findings. These findings and much more we reveal in this video.

We will enter the Temple Mount through the Moors Gate, walk to the Dome of the Rock and examine where the Ark of the Covenant could have stood, see the Golden Gate, and then peak into the archives of the Al-Aqsa mosque to find out what lies underneath it.

So join us for this adventure as we explore the Temple Mount.

Whom my soul loves

I caught a glimpse of you and I’m in complete reverence of you. You're perfect but who am I? I was too broken, too lost, too sad In my defeat and shame I built up a wall, isolating myself from the one thing that can bring me happiness. But you beckoned me from the other side. You peaked through the cracks, pursued me, and called to me, "Arise, my love, my beautiful one." You call me out of my darkness into dancing, rejoicing, and intimacy. When you look at me you don't see my flaws. You see a lily among shrubs, a jewel among rocks, a dove among crows. My heart will burn for you forever. I am my beloved's, and his desire is for me. I am a seal upon his heart and a seal upon his arm. My beloved is mine, and I am his.

i'm writing a script for class that's based around the bible story of jesus's crucifixion (details unimportant), and so i'm doing a ton of research into it, including just straight up reading the bible, and i never realised how fucking anti-semitic the text is. like don't get me wrong i'm not an idiot, i knew that the church was anti-semitic, but considering i was a kid when i was a christian, i rarely got into the actual written text, and not the regurgitated kid-friendly stuff. they really kept hammering home that jews are evil, huh?

#charlie.txt #context in tags #im writing a story that reframes judas's betrayal as a pre-planned strategy created by jesus himself to make himself into a martyr #and judas complies bc theyre lovers and he wont deny jesus even when its the wrong thing to do #its a whole thing created to draw parallels to judas's love for jesus being misunderstood the same way gay love is #but everything im researching is just... holy shit???#judas came from jewish parents - was the treasurer of the group - then betrayed jesus for the equivalent of $200ish #and then a lot of depictions of him look like jewish caricatures #and thats not the half of it #the bible cannot shut the fuck up about jews #joseph of arimathea was afraid of the jewish council so he followed jesus in secret???#like im aware this is a very 'yeah no duh the bible is anti-semitic'#but i didn't expect it to be so....... explicitly stated every other verse.#i literally cannot respect christianity in the same way i as an atheist can respect islam judaism budhism etc.#the text itself is rotted from the inside out

ooc: ....I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it over and over again-

Canon Belos able to correctly recall memories from hundreds of years ago makes NO gawd damn sense and the fact his personality and motives have been SOLIDLY on this ONE THING for hundreds of years also makes ZERO SENSE since his fucking brain stays the same size/might have even been broken down some due to damage and age.

Not even the ‘magic’ reason appeases me. If he can recall the past perfectly, then make him unable to retain new information for very long as his short term memory keeps getting overwritten instead of being solidly formed. Make his past memories faded and corrupted and even he’s not sure of what they were anymore if he can form new memories. Just please consider the size of the human brain and neurological pathways when doing this!

#ooc #mun being a dork; ignore her #Mun being kinda salty too #another reason why my AU and Belos exists lol #ALSO DUDE imagine the- in my opinion- story potential for this!#The Emperor is not to be crossed but needs to be reminded of what year it is constantly; Belos always calling Hunter by his brother's name a #and asking when he cut his hair since Belos liked the little ponytail #He keeps calling Lillith by her alias from 400 years ago and she doesn't know why but gave up correcting him #Belos being able to recall passages from the Puritan Bible perfectly but can't even remember the title of the book he was referencing from #yesterday #Belos forgetting about Luz before the second encounter with her and just being like 'HOLY SHIT THERE'S ANOTHER HUMAN HERE??'#...IDK just rambling
