Exactly what prey tell does that mean?
Sister knows that TWO is better than ONE?????
Oh my god guys what if it's because we're getting Copia's twin who is "Jesus".
His name means copy, Sisters his mother so obviously she would know if he had a brother and it definitely sounded like when he was like "finally" that it's something that somebody would say about their sibling finally showing up to take over something that they were made to do.
What if this is all alluding to the fact that he's going to have a brother take over for him????
What do you guys think? @stressghoul @slavghoul

Not Nathanael
(for all of us who are less than perfect)
A lot of Apostles share names.
There are two with the name of James. Two Simons, even two Judas’s. But there’s only one Nathanael.
That’s plenty. And today’s Gospel shows us why.
The first time Nathanael and Jesus see each other, everything clicks into place. Jesus says to him, “here is someone in whom there is no deceit.” And Nathanael’s response? “You are the Son of God.”
Unlike every other Apostle, Nathanael immediately knows exactly who Jesus is. Like flipping a switch. How is that even possible?
It’s simple, actually. And it’s a ringing indictment of you and me, and every other person for whom it isn’t like flipping a switch. Because of what it tells us about Nathanael. Which is?
In the words of C.S. Lewis, “It takes holiness to detect holiness.”
That’s why Nathanael immediately knows exactly who Jesus is. Because that’s how holy he is.
Jesus reached out to Nathanael once. And Nathanael got it.
That’s why one Nathanael is plenty. That’s why you and I need the rest of the Apostles.
Because the rest of the Apostles? They’re a mixed mess. One of them over-promises and underperforms. Two of them are all about recognition and being first. One of them is a revolutionary. Another one has doubts. You get the idea.
The part I love? How Jesus treats the rest of the Apostles. The mixed mess. The ones who aren’t already holy. The not-Nathanael’s.
When they don’t get it immediately? Watch what Jesus does. Jesus doesn’t give up on them.
Time after time. Jesus tells them, and shows them, exactly who He is. And for years, none of it really clicks for them.
But Jesus doesn’t hold them to the Nathanael standard.
Jesus reaches out to them. And keeps reaching out to them. Until they get it.
It shows us that there’s a place in the heart of Jesus for each one of them.
And it’s a sign of hope. For all of us.
Because it shows us that there’s a place in the heart of God for each one of us.
For you and me, and all of the other not-Nathanael’s.
Even if we’re not already holy.

The purpose of this website (blog) is to help people learn more about Jesus Christ. Who He is – His identity – as ‘God in the Flesh,’ and Why He came – His mission – to atone for (by dying for) our sins.

Being kink positive makes it really hard to be a hater of media rip. I used to love watching “the WORST book I’ve read this year” booktube videos but now its like I hear them ask, “Who is this werewolf smut even for?” Omegaverse fans, next question. “Why would you write this?” Because they find it sexy, can we stop focusing on the ewie yucky kink part and focus on the fact that the author used the word knot five times in a single scene? It’s bad werewolf erotica, but it’s not bad because it’s werewolf erotica like come on

FROM CHILDREN TO FAMILY MEMBERS
British comedian and atheist Jimmy Carr asks a good question and, since you might be asking the same thing, I appreciate the opportunity to answer, .
First of all, as a follower of Jesus of Nazareth (who many people believe is the Son of God), I believe God created every person who ever was, is and will be. So yes, we are His children.
But there’s a difference between being His children and…

every single thing further i learn about the locked tomb series makes me more confused.
there's...necromancy? memes? mythology? space?
honestly at this point, you could tell me a main character is the reincarnation of both jesus and a homestuck character and i'd be like 'yeah sure, that tracks'

UNCONDITIONALLY LOVED AND VALUED
“You’ve got to be clear that you don’t want certain customers coming in.”
Chip Wilson, the founder of lifestyle clothing giant Lululemon, dropped those controversial words during a recent interview about the company’s direction since he departed in 2015.
This takes me back to 2013, when an Abercrombie & Fitch executive created a media storm by shamelessly declaring the clothing retailer tried…
