Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

@SecretSunBlog a lot of low church protestants are iconoclasts and thus their churches look spiritually dead

Dear churches, what is stopping you from looking like this?

@deadalright @blephin_ That was rude.

@psychopompish @blephin_ Get out of here you fucking clanker

@deadalright @blephin_ The Geocentric model of the Solar System is actually based

@blephin_ Teaching her geocentric model of the solar system smh

@VasukiAmitabha @Meta_Trav Even when Emperor Decius issued an edict requiring pagan animal sacrifice in order to buy and sell goods? Do you understand how uninformed you and OP sound? You're deducing an entirely complex topic with "they did it cuz money". Clown take.

@psychopompish @Meta_Trav I doubt you care about the martyrdom of the Sikh Gurus or the martyrdom of Ali at Karbala like Shia Muslims do. Yes its ultimately material factors that lead to people converting on a societal level otherwise why would say Christian Egyptians leave their faith for Islam?

Jesus made worship free. The Jewish system ran on recurring sacrifice. Livestock, grain offerings, costly festivals where you burned your best animals to keep God satisfied. Jesus replaced the whole system. Passover with communion. Bread and wine instead of a slaughtered lamb. He replaced constant animal sacrifice with one final sacrifice on the cross. You used to need a priest between you and God. That became direct access. Three mandatory trips to Jerusalem every year (Passover, Pentecost, and the fall harvest festival) became "where two or three are gathered." Even the entry cost changed. Circumcision became baptism. The entire subscription model collapsed into something that cost nothing. Jesus constantly pairs religious leaders with tax collectors because they run the same operation. One charges an empire tax, the other a spiritual tax. But this wasn't unique. Every pagan system surrounding Israel ran on the same "spiritual taxation" model. You could see who was going to win immediately. Paul walks into Ephesus and the entire city economy runs on the goddess Artemis. Silversmiths making shrine replicas, temple fees, festival seasons that shut down commerce. The Ephesians were paying to worship. The Christians were not. The silversmiths rioted because they could see exactly where this was heading. This is why it outcompeted every pagan faith. A religion that costs less and gives you more of your life back will always spread faster. Especially against one that demands your best lamb four times a year. Christianity was streamlined technology. Once people figured out they could worship without bleeding their household dry, they never went back.

@VasukiAmitabha @Meta_Trav Both you and OP have a retarded materialist presupposition in which you reducde the conversion of early christians into mearley an economic factor without taking into account the fact that early Christians were persecuted heavily and often killed for their faith.

@psychopompish @Meta_Trav Religions spread through historical and material conditions. Half of the Christian World apostatized to become Muslims. The reason this happened was largely due to taxation and theology was rarely the real force behind it

@ElijahOrtho @JayDyer This is the jihadi story of David v Goliath. This ishmaelite has the courage to face Satan armed only with an RPG.

@JayDyer ???

ridiculous religion

@SunWeatherMan psychadelic-tards are such utter idiots that they reply to a comedic sketch about psychedelics with a multiple paragraph syllogism. Go back to taking your drugs dood.

I hate to admit this, but I too am quite the pro in this realm and beyond just that specific molecule. Maybe this person will see this. There is a reason why our memories are wiped when we come to this place, because we come here for a purpose. There are exceptions, emergencies, or corrective action can be taken, and very specific curiosities explored, and unjust traumas healed. But that is not where we belong. Rest assured that you will get back there, in time, but you have things to do here first. I was banned for a time from the land of the gods (any name you pick is better than quantum anything) and it’s not up for debate. The current mindset he has here, the desperation to return, is the essence of his lack of readiness and lack of discipline, but most importantly, his lack of development considering how long he claims to have spent there. It’s not a party, it’s not a library, it’s not your hangout spot, it’s not a church; you are a guest in that house and you better act like it.

@CharlesTingler Im blocked as a literal nobody and cant for the life of me remember or know why I am blocked

I won't share private messages, but please pray for Richard (Redeemed Zoomer). He wants to come home to the Catholic Church, but he's fighting it.

@noetic_healing Sometimes I sit and wonder the legitimate praxis of someone who is a monergistic gnostic heretic. As if, God is some homunculus in your brain animating you like a puppet, pulling threads via ratatouille , carrying you along like a performance until your final destination.

Calvinism is a mental illness. Hell wasn’t created for you in the first place. Jesus loved you so much he literally allowed himself to be killed and then went and kicked the gates of hell in and let everyone out. What you all teach about God and hell is contrary to the nature of our loving father. Flee from Protestantism people. They don’t even believe this either or they would crawl over broken glass to save one soul. They use fear to manipulate and control while besmirching the character of our Loving Father. There is a Judgment. It is a fearful judgment. But God isn’t waiting to gleefully torture you for eternity

When we repeatedly give into our sin it takes root and becomes a passion. “According to the Orthodox ascetic method of our Church, when a sin is frequently repeated it becomes a passion. A passion is an illness which torments the soul and needs to be cured. It is a distortion of the energies of the soul, which instead of proceeding according to nature, take an unnatural course. Man must strive, therefore, to transform these powers of the soul. This struggle has rules of its own, which the holy Fathers describe, as St Mark the Ascetic does here. The basic teaching of our holy Fathers is that the devil’s provocation comes first, with images, thoughts and fantasies; this is followed by assent; next comes sin; and then repeated sin becomes a passion” -Hesychia & Theology-

I'm Jewish. After careful study of the scriptures, I am convinced that Jesus is the Messiah, son of the living God.

@BitcoinUndisc All glory and worship to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit

$tibbir will be bigger than $link

the problem with the fractal below is that $TIBBIR as an asset is a lot more bullish than LINK

@jaydyer Blessed Lent

Watch out for $tibbir here. Had its - 82% moment , and has been ripping since the low even in this market. Think there’s decently real chance they announce one of the rumored partnerships in near future. Again agentic commerce + $hype + $btc is the playbook.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

Not a matter of if, but when. All will bend the knee. $TIBBIR
