Isaiah 12:1 ♱

this is your reminder that even if you feel like God is mad at you or you know you’ve done something that God would not want for you, turning away from Him is never the answer. God always wants you to come to Him. He always wants to hear your voice. i understand it’s easy to let Him go when you know you are not doing what He wants for you. it’s easy to feel shameful, but remember, we are all sinners. we all do and feel things God does not want for us because that is what humans do. this is why we need God. what matters is that you go to Him. talk to him about your struggles. i promise, He knows what you’re feeling. let Him help you.

God bless 🤍

A sysmed linked to a post claiming it would show God isn't plural... it proves the exact opposite

Saw a sysmed post sharing a link to this in order to try to prove that God is not "more than one" in Catholicism.

To further this point though, there's an important note I need to make about the term "consubstantial," which roughly means they're of the same substance. The actual term used in the Nicene Creed was the Greek "Homoousion." Consubstantial is one Latin translation of this Greek term, but it can also be translated as "same in being."

And Homoousion is a more accurate interpretation of the Trinity. Many other Trinitarian sources will commonly phrase the Trinity as being three persons in one being.

Other variations will be that they're three persons in one God/Godhead. But the idea that the Trinity is three in one is the bedrock of Trinitarian theology.

Now, some humans would define plurality as being based around the idea of multiple people in one body. Through that specific definition, I suppose one could argue God couldn't be plural because he doesn't have a "body."

But I would counter that a body need not be solid or physical. If someone with DID passed into an afterlife and their headmates remained remained dissociated in their spiritual form, would this soul not still be multiple?

Therefore, for the purposes of plurality, a spiritual form must be a body of its own.

The Father, Son and Holy Spirit share the same substance, the same essence. And this essence must be connected for it is everywhere, for God is everywhere.

Can anyone hide himself in secret places, So I shall not see him?” says the LORD; “Do I not fill heaven and earth?” says the LORD. Jeremiah 23:24

This omnipresent essence of God is God's body, and exists everywhere, filling all spaces in the universe.

The Holy Trinity is three persons in one being.

Three persons sharing the same essence.

Three persons sharing one "body."

The Holy Trinity is plural!

Angry

Have you ever known someone who was angry with everyone and everything, including God?

That anger can come from a lot of different places.

Sometimes it comes from loss.

Sometimes it comes from failure.

Sometimes it comes from fear.

Wherever it comes from, that anger is a sign.

It’s the sign of someone who has been hurt by people or by life. Maybe even by themselves.

That anger is also a response.

They’re trying to deal with something that wounded them at the deepest level.

They’re trying to protect themselves from ever being hurt that way again.

They’re lashing out. Often at those who had nothing to do with hurting them. Including God.

So how do we deal with those people?

The same way that God does. It’s what Jesus is showing us in today’s Gospel.

We deal with those people who are lost in their anger by not rejecting them.

This is not a passive thing. It’s more than sitting there, not doing…whatever to them.

This is an intentional, deliberate, aggressive refusal to reject them. An active, in-your-face love. A holy love.

It’s the love that God pours out without measure into our hearts. And theirs.

It’s the only thing that will ever work.

Only God’s love can deal with that kind of anger.

Only God’s love can heal that kind of hurt.

It's that time of year when Tumblr celebrates Easter by posting pictures of crucified anime characters, and inevitably somebody in the notes will pop up to helpfully explain that crucifixion imagery has no cultural significance in Japanese media because Japan is only about 1% Christian, which bugs me because it's completely wrong.

It's true that in the majority of cases, crucifixion in Japanese cartoons isn't meant to be conveying any specific theological message, but something Western audiences are likely to miss is that a large portion of those random crucifixion scenes are referencing Ultraman.

Ultraman's creator was a devout Roman Catholic who explicitly intended the titular hero to read as a Christ figure, and consequently, various Ultramen have been crucified on multiple unconnected occasions throughout the franchise's history. Crucifixion scenes in Japanese cartoons are often directly name-checking particular crucifixion incidents from Ultraman, right down to emulating the compositions and camera angles of specific shots. It's like an especially morbid version of the Akira slide.

The upshot is that, while it's true that the inclusion of gratuitous crucifixion scenes in Japanese cartoons typically has no (intentional) theological message, stating that they have no cultural significance is incorrect. A large chunk of the Japanese viewing audience are going to see them and immediately go "hey, that's an Ultraman reference".

Anyway, as an image tax, have a shot of four crucified Ultramen miraculously resurrecting a fifth Ultraman by shooting laser beams out of their hearts:

Israel just bombed next to a Catholic church. During Mass. On All Saints Day. This is not and never has been an issue regarding religion. This is a genocide of ALL Palestinians. They are bombing indiscriminately under the guise of fighting terrorism, when they are the real terrorists.
