Sanctification Is a Team Sport

1 Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. 2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. 3 For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4 But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in…

The Spirit’s Convicting Ministry to the World

In the NT, God the Holy Spirit took on a new ministry after Jesus returned to heaven (John 16:7-15; cf., Acts 1:6-8; 2:1-4; 15:7-9). Part of His ministry is to believers, and part is to unbelievers. Concerning the Spirit’s ministry to believers, Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will…

Revelation 9: Purpose of the Inquisition

Perhaps for John’s audience, such a prospect generated a redoubled commitment to deal with temptation and sin right away. Better to respond to the first prick of conscience before it becomes complicated. #Revelation9 #FifthTrumpet

Then the fifth angel sounded a trumpet and I beheld a star falling out the sky to the earth, and it was given to him the key of the pit of the abyss. Then he opened the pit of the abyss, and smoke ascended out of the pit like the smoke of an enormous furnace, and the sun was obscured, and the air, from the smoke of the pit. Then out of the smoke came locusts to the earth, and it was given to…

The Word of God Is Living and Active

Unlike the other sacred texts I read, the Bible was hard-edged, and it confronted me with me! It penetrated my heart, and I wanted to look away!

I have made the statement in a previous article that the truth of God is not hidden from those who truly seek Him and desire to know Him. The truth is only hidden to those who don’t really desire to know God for who He is. The following statement was made in the sermon I heard today: “Holiness and wholeness are hidden where only the humble can find them”. I recognize that it’s easy for someone…

"My brothers and sisters, if any among you strays from the truth, and someone turns him back, let that person know that whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and cover a multitude of sins."

James 5:19‭-‬20

#convicting #i have failed at this with close friends twice now #noticed early red flags of them straying but didn't say anything until they later dove into sin headfirst and it was much too late #Scripture

i love being unwavering in my religious beliefs in the face of those weirdo evangelicals who tell you finding god is the only way to get to heaven and no matter what you do that belief will get you there.

they just really have a special way of using religion to not take any semblance of accountability in their actions.

#being so brutually honest it is cowardly to think that belief would absolve you of horrific actions #you are a coward and if you think that simple belief absolves you of sin and that is why you can commit bad actions i do not like u!#if heaven is real if god is real idk but i believe in myself and my actions enough to know where i belong #i need no religious text to give me conviction in my being #and i don’t do anything good because of the idea of an afterlife reward #i spend most of my free time thinking about philosophy and theology do NOT pull that on me!!#i do love talking about it tho 🫶🏻 so i still had fun #kateposting

"When Holy God draws near in true revival, people come under terrible conviction of sin. The outstanding feature of spiritual awakening has been the profound consciousness of the Presence and holiness of God." - Henry Blackaby

Quote

This is the usual result for people who attempt to mortify sin without first obtaining an interest in Christ. It deludes them, hardens them, and destroys them. The most loathsome and desperate sinners in the world are those who pursued this course out of conviction, found it fruitless, and then deserted it without discovering Christ.

okay actually the thing i'm losing my mind about the most is the multiple homuras

#like damn dude i was right about that too! she really is just out here haunting herself #and i know so far it's just been Off The Deep End homura and Red Ribbon homura but i. i really truly hope we get to see moemura too <3 #i need the anguish! the horror of seeing what your conviction has turned you into!#the drama of witnessing yourself built to cosmic heights and simultaneously stripped to the bone; an empty shell of what you started with #in my french vanilla fantasy moemura is the first one to call her a devil #the first one to say 'look how you've hurt her. look how you've sinned. look what we've made ourselves into'#i like to picture them kinda backwards from how it would seem. like they're all sitting down to tea in the headspace #homucifer just sort of sits there while moemura goes 'what the hell is wrong with you oh my god what are we doing'#and coolmura is just there with her head in her hands crying her eyes out #anyways sorry lol meguca rant over For Now #nebular.txt

Just posted a bunch of doom&gloom political stuff so I want to remind my followers that the sun still shines, flowers still Bloom, children still laugh, and every day is still an opportunity to be kind and do something meaningful.

I promise life is worthwhile, hope is just around the corner, and that humanity was made to love and, underneath the hurt, you can still tell.

#And personally I believe #There is a God and He is good and He loves you #Not in a careless 'whatever you do is fine'#But in a leaving the comfort and safety and of Heaven to live among us as a human #To help the poor and oppressed and to convict the rich and destabilize the oppressors #And taking responsibility and punishment for the sins of all who would let him - tortured on earth and in Hell #And conquering and rising above death and Hell as a - as the - living God #Type of way #The world has direction and a narrative #The theme of it is hope #And the God of it is Love

remembered that yuri has an extremely badass title that he gets after the end of part one, involving magistrate ragou's death and vanishing into the river of the bridge at dahngrest. ragou basically is full of triggers and i'm half asleep, but yuri actually gains in the west, the title most familiar ' vigilante ' but actually, in japan, according to @zelotae after yuri puts a stop to that monster of a thing, (ragou), he actually gains another title instead of that, called "conqueror of sin".

i find that one far more fitting, as i feel most people think vigilantes look 'cool' and 'edgy' and are just there to stop things the law can't touch it for 'personal reasons' when it couldn't be further from the truth with yuri.

yuri is not doing this for personal justice, but true justice the world won't give, or more clear: the right thing. yuri is impartial / emotionless and has shown this repeatedly when facing in battle or stopping one of the villains of the story all plastered with triggering topics yes, they're that evil, i'd compare symphon.ia's world and terca lumireis to be equal tbqh. just different horrors but no less equally horrifying, that he is not doing it to break the law.

in actuality, while the empire does have a 'law' in place, it actively time and time again in almost every thirty minutes of the game establishes for you that it is just like putting a poster up, it's empty and it says words but it doesn't actually fulfill anything. it doesn't stop poverty, it doesn't stop the abuse, murdering, and neglect of the lower class, it does not stop using the councils and bureaucracy from using their power from the royal family and fellow nobility to abuse for their own ends and even the first law of the knights in zaphias is not what you'd think.

it isn't, 'i will protect the people' first. the first law basically says 'serve the empire'. rather sickeningly, the second law is 'with this sword i shall protect the people'. yuri, who was a knight for three months and couldn't bear the corruption / evil within it, as the knights like everything else in the empire, is just pretty, gilded toys, they don't actually do anything is the one ironically in halure when people are being threatened, telling his former comrades in the knights:

" with this sword i shall protect the people. " and this should be the first law of the knight's code.

so really, terca lumireis has no real law. and if it does, it is not truly one. so i find the term 'vigilante' really cheap and kinda tacked on when it's MUCH more complicated for yuri's case, as all he does is impersonal and the only person who suffers is him. conqueror of sin fits him far more, and i'll probably go with that, though his tag fits fine as truth is also what yuri embodies as much as true justice / rightdoing.

if anything, yuri is more of an unwitting but unflinching rebel and borderline accidental revolutionary, small town hero to big hero (he'd look either sick or furious if you call him that btw) who just wanted to return the aque blastia (water supply) to the slowly but surely withering people of the lower class / caste system, the lower quarter, and instead is thrust upon with the hero's journey, which he has to by the end of part one, make the choice to follow, with good and bad consequences.

you know that any authoritative system is a fluke when someone you're trying to arrest is reciting to you, the people who should be saving and protecting instead of him, that your role is to protect and serve the people.

instead? the poor are not even given graves, and are burned, cremated, and placed at random locations on the continent where their very ashes are scattered with not a grave to remember them.

this is the kind of evil, horrifying, sickening world that yuri lives in. a lawless one, and one that has lost its heart, light and its hope, and instead the burden of being the heart, light and hope falls upon a single man who only wanted to return something and go home.

#rep.ede's title after yuri kills ragou is actually 'sinful sidekick' but i'm curious since that doesn't fit either.#i wonder what it means in japanese if yuri's is actually 'conqueror of sin'.#𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐘𝐒𝐈𝐒 ✴ —— a star that lights up the path. a burdened heart glistens golden in the moonlight; set in its conviction.#i'm not justifying killing someone. but in a last resort situation #i think ve.speria hammers in pretty well this was the last resort.#instead the fan.dom has yuri as this edgelord 'murderer' instead of the only shot and hope his world has and an avatar of justice #or 'the right thing' same thing.#it also really fits that yuri like any hero while more realistic than most; is shown in very well written story the consequences #of said hero's journey.#good AND bad.#it's funny because so many more protags in this series have killed way more people and yuri didn't even kill five.#it's just funny.#'the job no one wants huh' - judith.

speaking of estinien I’m cautiously excited to see what they do with him bc I really wasn’t suuper impressed with how he was handled in HW

#spoilers #major spoilers #I’ve ranted abt this before but HW!Esti//nien is the king of lost potential to me bc he is just so utterly flat as a character in that expa #he reacts to utterly nothing and not even the world shattering revelation that everything he’a fought for and lost and watched ppl die for #is an utter lie perpetuated in perpetuity by the institution he fights for #that has retraumatized him over and over again to forge him into a sharper weapon against the dragons #is a complete and utter lie and in truth what he fights for would let a thousand kids like him burn to death rather than face original sin #doesn’t shake his conviction at all. nor does the revelation that what he’s been trained to kill and had dehumanized are people #with whole lives and aspirations just like him and that he’s murdered not only his own transformed countrymen but also legit dragon childre #in cold blood and that to the dravanians he IS their nid//dhog doesn’t shake him in the least #he legit just goes. so? and moves ten feet to the left to storm the aery with utterly no reaction whatsoever #I get that to an extent That’s The Point; he’s Nid//hogg’s reflection so ofc he’s mostly focused on his own personal war #but it makes him look like an utter monster when his reaction to the revelations are to immediately start killing dragon infants #I like HW!Esti//nien but specifically only the version that exists in the confines of my brain #estinienposting #saint.txt

Behold the Lamb of God

These things were done in Bethabara beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! This is He of whom I said, ‘After me comes a Man who is preferred before me, for He was before me.’ I did not know Him; but that He should be revealed to Israel, therefore I came baptizing with water.”

- John 1:28-31 NKJV (1982)

2 Corinthians 7:10

[10]For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

It is good to receive condemnation and correct yourself. Godly sorriness is a blessing that results not in loss but in spiritual gain. Rejoice when you are troubled in your spirit and act to correct it.

honestly,, considering it character development when my church leader counselor ex-gay conversion therapy mentor lady can call me and I don’t have a massive breakdown despite it being the most ostracized and hurt I’ve ever felt after a conversation with her

#perhaps I’m numb now #she legitimately prayed the gay away on call #and then told me she’s been praying a man comes and is WORTHY OF MY ATTRACTION #then tried to tell me to tell my parents #i said no #she said i can’t run from true christianity because it’s making sin okay #she wants me to read this ex gay book and i said no #and then she tried to form this big plan to get it to me discreetly #i said i didn’t want to read it then she accused me of not wanting to feel convicted #how about I just don’t want to spiral into the lowest point I’ve been again ?!? like last time I blindly followed you???#honestly considering pretending to be straight now just because I’ve given up #she won’t believe it but maybe I’ll pretend to hate myself again #last time I did that I ended up gaslighting myself lmao #help girl I’m spiraling into religious trauma #religious trauma #conversion therapy #ex gay ministry #religious queer #lgbt christian #queer christian #queer faith #lgbtq christian #progressive christianity #sapphic #wlw
