How To Read A Fairytale

The symbolism of Frieren's S1 OPs and EDs - Frieren Friday (Saturday now...) 🧵 1/16

It is not this simple. The first New Covenant ecumenical council is recorded for us in Acts 15. Where Gentiles are instructed to obey those aspects of Leviticus, which Moses had commanded to "the sojourner and stranger among you." Large swaths of assumed biblical morality are contained in the Old Covenant texts that are not reiterated in the NT.

@shyojo @ReadAFairytale @darlingstrawbie biblehub.com/q/how_to_recon… That passage from Deuteronomy is no longer applicable due to the New Covenant; it was a reflection of the theocratic society of ancient Israel which followed the Old Covenant laws. Christians can guide and persuade others, but should not use coercion.

sorry for the long post. after a night of sleep and some more reflection i just want to say this and be done with this conversation: yes i handled that poorly yesterday. i was genuinely overwhelmed because rev was streaming the whole time this was happening last night (and his stream was about something else entirely) and people kept getting in his chat and accusing him of being anti censorship and if he was going to address “the controversy” and it was making me stressed because i was causing him unneeded stress. i definitely don’t want to drag him into anything ever again. and so i definitely got defensive and instead of just being more clear when some people asked valid questions, i was upset that i felt people were accusing me of some things i don’t actually believe, and him too. i do realize that wasn’t everyone’s intentions though, and im sorry for assuming. i also want to apologize to katie, i am sorry, i very well could have misread things in the moment on your second reply and jumped the gun on you by blocking you, and some others as well. my responses were petty and not kind or loving so i am sorry for that. i am anti-censorship. i did end up clarifying this yesterday but i know some people want further clarification. i mentioned the prostitution laws because i do find it ironic that it’s illegal to pay a prostitute to sleep with you, but if you were to film it and call her an “actress” and pay for that, it’s legal. but that wasn’t me saying that i think censorship is the solution or that all porn should be illegal. i do think porn, specifically involving irl people, can be really predatory and exploitative, and while i do find drawn porn “sinful” i dont view it in the exact same way, this is what i was referring to about things not always being so “black and white” to me. but i am a Christian, so yes, i do believe porn is sinful. and for more clarification, i have always been under the impression that loli was not inherently sexual, its a petite fictional bodytype, but i was referring to lolicon specifically in an nsfw/porn context, so maybe there was some confusion there for some people. when i said lolicon (porn) or ANY porn for that matter is “bad”, i am speaking about it from a Christian perspective, because it is a Christian belief that all porn is bad. but that IS NOT a call for censorship or harassment over these things, people have a right to choose these things for themselves, i want to make that clear. i said it before many times and i will say it again, it isn’t CSEM and im not calling anyone a p*do over this. and this doesn’t mean i am trying to hate on you, i don’t look at you as less than, im certainly not perfect (as you have surely seen). and if you aren’t a Christian i honestly don’t expect you to agree with me anyways. we can agree to disagree if you don’t like my position of porn being sinful, but my position on it is firm. some people made some claims about “would you want me jailed for watching porn” etc and my honest answer is no, of course i wouldn’t. if im also honest, i do not personally see how we could even ban porn in the first place, it certainly feels like a pandora’s box that cannot be closed once it has been opened, and i would honestly worry about the type of government that would be able to do these things and where else it could lead to as well… but i also want to be honest and say that i am not a scholar or lawmaker, i dont have all the answers to everything and sometimes i genuinely see multiple sides to something and its hard for me to give black and white, crystal clear answers. especially on twitter.

Nah, Christians are required to "make disciples/teach - all the *nations*" (Matt 28:18). There is this pesky "of" necessary for the translation in english. But it doesn't mean "make disciples of people from the nations." It literally means entire nations are the object of becoming disciples and being baptized. The great commission is Jesus' command for the conversion of entier nations and their political apparatus. Psalms 72:1-2, 4-11 NASB1995 Give the king Your judgments, O God, And Your righteousness to the king’s son. May he judge Your people with righteousness And Your afflicted with justice. May he vindicate the afflicted of the people, Save the children of the needy And crush the oppressor. Let them fear You while the sun endures, And as long as the moon, throughout all generations. May he come down like rain upon the mown grass, Like showers that water the earth. In his days may the righteous flourish, And abundance of peace till the moon is no more. May he also rule from sea to sea And from the River to the ends of the earth. Let the nomads of the desert bow before him, And his enemies lick the dust. Let the kings of Tarshish and of the islands bring presents; The kings of Sheba and Seba offer gifts. And let all kings bow down before him, All nations serve him. All these psalms will come fully true of Jesus. He will rule all the kings of the earth and "The scepter shall not depart from Judah, Nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, Until Shiloh comes, And to him shall be the obedience of the nations." - Gen 49:10 Psalms 22:27-29 All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord, And all the families of the nations will worship before You. For the kingdom is the Lord’s And He rules over the nations. All the prosperous of the earth will eat and worship, All those who go down to the dust will bow before Him, Even he who cannot keep his soul alive. May God grant His Son victory to rule the nations and kings of nations 🙏

@ReadAFairytale @shyojo @darlingstrawbie You can choose to abstain from porn yourself; you can't however force others to do so. Christians are only required to apply their beliefs to themselves; you don't have to be pro-censorship to be a Christian.

@MackyJ73 @shyojo @darlingstrawbie May the Lord grant that blessing to you 🙏

@ReadAFairytale @shyojo @darlingstrawbie I think we would have less pathetic men In the world so I agree, I don’t watch porn but I do fall from grace when I’m tempted to watch anime fanservice. I’m glad I got to a point it’s just animations now I just need to jump the last hurdle. Jesus will be proud once I do for sure.

If you wanted to press me on a bible verse for private property desecration and destruction. The only place is idols. Anyone who owns an idol has it confiscated, destroyed, and gets the death penalty. Pornograohy fits this. It is an object that has, as its only purpose, an imoral end. Which people perform corrupt forms of veneration toward (masturbation). But im fine banning it for purely natural law reasons.

@ReadAFairytale @darlingstrawbie Which bible passage do you think most strongly supports censoring artistic words of a prurient nature? Moses melting the golden calf?

G.K. Chesterton has a lot of good things to say about this.

@SparklyMeat "This is noooot good, this is not good at all!!!! Dx"

Put cyber chase on for my older kids and holy crap are they enthralled, even my chatter box child hasn’t said a word for 20 minutes, this is a record

@Hokuto_Ide Hello brother! The Church began with only 12 disciples. In a few short centuries, Christianity took over the west. May God do a mighty work in Japan! We will be praying for this 🙏

この投稿もアメリカまで届くのかな？ ハロー。アメリカの皆さん。私は日本で人口1％しかない宗教マイノリティーのキリスト教徒の1人です。 クリスチャントゥデイというメディアの編集長をしています。 よろしくお願いします。

@JellyStara Possibly trad protestant mass reports for breaking the 2nd commandment if it ended up in the wrong Christian niche feeds.

Can someone explain to me why this art of Jesus and I is being censored?? There’s nothing inappropriate in this image…

@TennysonCrow Take being sillier quite seriously as the mature ought 🫡

I should be more mature. Or sillier. Either way, I shouldn't do anything lightly.

@TennysonCrow Only because you were low on the "im dogmatic about this" scale

Why did it put me in the social justice progressive church?

I once saw a couple practicing tango while stuck on a long layover in an airport terminal. The thing about our gilded cage is that it actually isn't that hard to break out of, especially in these moments of waiting and boredom. This is why the invention of the iPhone was so dangerous: it effectively eliminated all of the little things that happen when you're bored which are where greatness is developed.

@Soulful76_Leaf "Help Lord, for the godly man ceases to be, the faithful disappear from among the sons of men... The wicked strut about on every side, when vileness is exalted among the sons of men." - Psalm 12:1, 8

The reason why evil predators rule over our countries is because the majority of us no longer worship God, Jesus Christ, the supreme good. In the absence of God given authority, man finds comfort in ridding himself of his responsibilities, and grants power to the highest bidder.

@cinemint Definitely having the opposite effect 😂

the Enoki posting will continue until I have lost all of my followers

Blessed feast of the Annunciation!!! Christ has been conceived! "Rejoice O Virgin Theotokos, Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee!!" (Zachariah 3:14+Luke 1:28+1:43)

@MateyYanakiev 10 Luther points Dx x.com/i/status/20366…

I accidentally Maximused my results.

@RevRushdoony Wait, I already have an idea, I intentionally avoided Barth points every single time 🤣

@ReadAFairytale ditto

Fascinating...

@RevRushdoony I'd be curious to know which ones we even answered differently 😅
