pastor very shrewdly applying the ‘love them but they’re wrong’ approach to dispensationalists in a sermon is a power move actually

#punk christianity #free palestine #fyi big word: not quite Zionism but contains the necessary (bigoted) theology to allow people to justify zionism #was invented literally 200 years ago #and from what I know people who believe in the rapture can be dispensationalists but not necessarily #it’s like a step further #christianity

[faeriefully]

since when is the fourth commandment a ceremonial law ???

#I’m so confused and tried explaining to a friend why it’s inconsistent but kept getting told things about the mosaic covenant #how did I never know dispensationalists thought this #mind boggled #truly #g.txt

The 7 Churches In The Book Of Revelation Explained

Beware Dispensationalist Pervert The Book of Revelation, Bible Prophecy. God Clearly Warns People not to Add to His Words. Revelation 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this…

Your daily reminder that Christian Zionists want Jews in Israel to trigger the return of Christ and the biblically prophesied “End Times”:

“Christian Zionists are premillennial dispensationalists who believe that the return of Jews to their homeland heralds the beginning of the biblically prophesied “End Times”.”

There are more Christian Zionists than there are Jewish people in the world.

Is it possible to being pagan, believe in Gods, do practice etc but don't believe in myths? And also what do u think about Ragnarok?

Yup, you can absolutely be pagan, believe in deities, practice, and not believe the myths. And that's because the myths aren't supposed to be scripture, but cultural allegories.

Ragnarok is the story of the time the gods done fucked up. Our gods aren't paragons; they make mistakes just like we do.

Odin created the conditions for Ragnarok to happen because of the ways he tried to stop it from happening—through aggression, and by doing wrong by other people. But Ragnarok is defined by aggression and doing wrong by other people. The fact Odin missed this, and how he missed this, is the allegorical message behind the whole arc.

It's true that the version of Ragnarok we have is heavily syncretized with Christianity, but it's not the Norse pagan version of the end times, nor is it dispensationalist in nature. Ragnarok already happened because the story is already written...and again, these stories are illustrative in nature as opposed to doctrinal.

my Hazbin Hotel first watchthrough

(DISCLAIMER: this post is being typed as i'm watching. there may be inconsistencies in my attitude as i go on.)

🛑SPOILERS BELOW THE CUT🛑

Ep 1: blehhhh...

Ep 2: overall: "eh." villain song was pretty good.

Ep 3: something something something plot plot plot- LOOK IT'S THE SILLY SNEK AND EGG BOYS. 💖 "I'll Be Your Armor/Keeper" was a damn good song, even if at this point in the series i couldn't fucking stand Charlie.

Ep 4: ...okay i'll admit. this one for all its heavy subject matter was... handled alright. was nice to see Charlie finally grow some goddamn balls and show some righteous anger. kinda wanted to strangle Husk here until he actually showed some empathy. "Poison" was a good song, even if Angel's VA was pretty weird and pitchy at points. "Loser Baby" was a good one though.

Ep 5: i feel conflicted as a Christian finding Lucifer so charming. /j /lh also i think Charlie's starting to grow on me. and it only took over half the series. also fuck you Mimzy. the Alastor vs. Lucifer song was a goddamn bop. and "Hell's Best Dad" was beautiful.

Ep 6: WHOA. WHOAAAAAAAAA. WHOA. I FEEL LIKE AN IDIOT FOR NOT SEEING THAT COMING. this episode is hitting all the Christian Universalist and deconstructionist sweet spots for me. and God i love Emily, poor bab. ;~; ALSO YASS ANGEL STICK IT TO THE MOTH MAN.

Ep 7: all my hate for Charlie is gone. i just want her and Vaggie to be happy. i feel so bad for both of them. also "Out For Love" beats the entirety of Steven Universe's soundtrack in every category lol

Ep 8: oh gosh this... ohhh... this was phenomenal... like i started out hating this show and now i'm just itching to see what goes down next season!! i'm glad i stuck through!

misc. notes:

i hate that this series basically requires you to watch the pilot to understand the first episode. luckily i've seen it but...

i like some of the background character designs.

i like the little one-eyed gremlin girl thing.

i know we're supposed to like Charlie but GOD she's annoying. I RECANT THIS STATEMENT

Alastor best character.

i kinda like Sir Pentious. he's silly. and i love his egg boys.

Vaggie's just as done with this shit as i am but the difference is she loves Charlie where as i just want to strangle her lmao.

Velvette's kinda hot ngl.

Camilla too.

seriously though am i supposed to like Charlie? when do i start to like her? I ALSO RECANT THIS STATEMENT.

i feel like i would like Charlie more if she wasn't essentially a ripoff of every "quirky" Disney princess from Rapunzel onwards. AND I RECANT THIS ONE TOO

okay, as of ep 5... i'm starting to not hate Charlie so much.

why do some of the denizens of heaven look like demons?

ep 6 is where this series finally really grabs me ngl. glad i stuck around. i'm on the beginning of the finale as i'm typing this point and i'm excited to see how it concludes.

OH GOD IT WAS WORTH IT

the angels of heaven really do seem to be the "american evangelist/dispensationalist" archetype. they don't know why a soul can't be redeemed after death. they don't question it. they're not allowed to because... it's "breaking the rules" or whatever. as someone who grew up in that kind of environment, that really resonated with me.

(Combining these two together since it's similar stuff)

Okay but I feel like the "different since there's no sin" bit is like...kind of important...the "died for humanity's sins" part is kind of central to the whole Jesus story... And again, these are aesthetics that feel better applied to the Angel, which we still know nothing about in terms of the monsters' theology. Making a character a Christ figure in fiction is done for very specific purposes, and thusfar it doesn't seem like Noelle's been set up for those purposes. (Also, the last two points are tenuous connections at best.)

And for the longer theory post on reddit...so I don't want to be all harsh on it or try and refute every point or anything, since this is clearly done for fun and it's a neat mental challenge to try and make connections between Biblical stories and media! (Basically what your English teachers were always trying to get you to do in school for a grade, anyway.) To that end, I think it does well trying to draw as many parallels as possible and citing text! But in terms of an actual theory for what's going to happen in Deltarune...nah, sorry, it just immediately falls apart for me. It only works if 1) you just ignore the themes Deltarune already has established in favor of supplanting them with "secretly a Biblical reference!", 2) ignore how the characters actually act in favor of shoehorning them into preestablished roles (the Kris one was very debatable and the Susie one was especially silly), and 3) ignore a crapton of context that is necessary for reading Revelation properly. It's a theory that, ironically, falls into the same thinking that premillennial dispensationalists and general culture warrior pundits have regarding Revelation...that very specific letters for a specific audience are actually secretly about a different very specific series of events because the language used is so broad and abstract and open to interpretation. Just about video game characters rather than, you know, real life politicians and nations. Again, it's a fun exercise to try and draw parallels between texts! But no, I don't think Deltarune having some Biblical references means that this video game for kids is going to end with everyone dying in some catastrophic manner.

#ask lynx stuff #I had longer thoughts but decided to trim it down #I am perhaps overly harsh because I tend to be automatically hostile towards premillennial dispensationalism #so 'game that you like is actually just like a theology you despise!' is gonna get a big ick from me #same reason I hate the time loop theory

Christian Zionism emerged as a distinct movement during the 19th century, although its theological roots can be traced back to earlier times.The origins of Christian Zionism can be found in the 16th and 17th centuries when various Protestant theologians, such as John Bale and Thomas Brightman, interpreted biblical passages to suggest a future restoration of the Jews to Israel. They believed that the fulfillment of these prophecies would occur before the Second Coming of Christ and saw the return of the Jews to the Holy Land as a necessary precursor to the end times.In the 19th century, the interest in biblical prophecy and the restoration of Israel gained momentum among Protestant Christians, primarily in Europe and North America. This coincided with the rise of the Zionist movement among Jewish intellectuals and activists in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.Many Christian theologians, preachers, and organizations like the British and Foreign Bible Society and the London Society for Promoting Christianity Amongst the Jews actively supported the idea of a Jewish return to their ancestral homeland. They viewed it as the fulfillment of biblical prophecy and a necessary condition for the return of Christ.Key figures in the early Christian Zionist movement include William Hechler, a British clergyman who was a close confidant of Theodor Herzl, the founder of modern political Zionism. Hechler's theological beliefs were influential in shaping Herzl's ideas about the Jewish return to Israel.Christian Zionism also gained significant support amongst American evangelicals, especially during the 19th and 20th centuries. Evangelical leaders like John Nelson Darby, a prominent dispensationalist theologian, and Cyrus I. Scofield, who popularized dispensationalism through his widely read Scofield Reference Bible, played a crucial role in promoting the idea of a Jewish restoration to the Holy Land as a fulfillment of biblical prophecy.Dispensationalists emphasize the literal interpretation of biblical prophecy, including the belief in a future literal return of Jesus Christ to establish a physical kingdom on earth. They also distinguish between God's plan for Israel and the Church, seeing them as distinct entities with different purposes.Dispensationalists believe that there will be a future period, typically known as the "Great Tribulation," during which many Jewish people will come to faith in Jesus as the Messiah. They anticipate a significant ingathering of Jewish people to the Christian faith.

As long as the number of dispensationalists or the number of people who actually believe in “the gift of singleness” exceeds zero, the church in America will continue to shrink.

In the 1930s, religious broadcasters such as Coughlin, Smith, and Winrod could spew anti-Semitic invective and support an authoritarian populist like Huey Long without affecting the presidential nominations of either of the nation’s major political parties. What they did was damaging enough, but it wasn’t sufficient to put an authoritarian leader in the White House. Nor was all of the end-times speculation in fundamentalist premillennial dispensationalist magazines likely to have much practical effect on a presidential election. But once the direct presidential primaries became the method the nation used to nominate its presidents, that changed. The words of a nationally influential religious broadcaster suddenly mattered a lot more. Indeed, a nationally influential religious broadcaster could now even run a credible campaign for president himself, as Pat Robertson did in 1988.

Can An Authoritarian Political Regime Happen Here?

sometimes there’s things that Christians disagree on that I completely understand how they could come to that conclusion even if I don’t believe it’s the correct one— and then there’s sometimes I just don’t understand

#this is still about the fourth commandment #like I can understand the Saturday Vs Sunday debate #but to say we no longer have to recognize a sabbath ??? #im so confused #I don’t think it’s all dispensationalists (well it’s never *all* of anyone) #but apparently my group of friends all believe this way #and I’m SO CONFUSED #g.txt

Purim isn't for Jew haters. Did you miss the part of the Megillah where the Jews fought back against the people seeking to kill Jews, and we killed them in triumph? Delete your blog.

Good thing we’re not Jew haters! No, we didn’t miss that part actually. I think it should greatly inspire us to destroy the facist Zionist ideology that’s puppeteered by Christian Zionists! Those people who want us in Israel to trigger the rapture, which will force Jews to convert to Christianity, killing those who wont.

The Rapture (belief that living & dead believers will ascend into heaven to meet Jesus Christ at the Second Coming) is a generally agreed upon aspect of the Second Coming. “Dispensationalists deem this phase “the time of Jacob’s trouble,” in which [at least] one-third of Jews convert to Christianity & are saved accordingly, while the majority are killed.” Remember: “Among Christian Zionists the belief is common that Jews will not be saved due simply to their status as God’s chosen people within Old Testament prophecy. Conversion is considered... necessary for Jews to be a part of Christ’s reign on earth.” After the Rapture, there will be a seven-year period of global turmoil marked by natural disasters, wars, & oppressive regimes. Afterward, Jesus will return with his true believers to establish a thousand-year reign, during which Jerusalem will be the world's capital. Palestinians & Jews are canon fodder; collateral damage; merely pawns to move into position in order to summon Jesus. Dead or alive. [Taken from this wonderful write up on Christian Zionism and it’s antisemitism]

We are being convinced that the State of Israel is our “only safe place”, that we have nowhere else, so that Christian Zionists can feed their delusions, or biblical prophecies. We are pawns in their game, and we must resist, we must aid Palestinian resistance.

GODS it does NOT have to be this bad and yet HERE WE FUCKING ARE, smack in the middle of a MASSIVE cognitive warzone all while the world's on actual fucking fire, and I can't even afford rent or food or dreams of owning a home. And yet I get to watch, free of charge, all this slimy tech CEOs making their final cash-grab before tanking their services and running off to Singapore or Bali or wherever because they KNOW regulations are coming on all these social platforms, and they're coming because they have to in order to, y'know, do something about the cognitive warfare problem.

EXCEPT our ability to regulate this on a national level is on thin fucking ice because, turns out, this warfare operation's been going on for so long that unhinged Dispensationalists are in political seats of power, blocking due process while trying to bring on the rapture.

Cognitive sovereignty should be a HUMAN RIGHT protected by law, but currently companies and advertisers have free reign to puppet human psychology like toys to get people to shell the fuck out for their imported garbage or the idea of a product. Because if they didn't have free reign to do this, it would make the money sad, and GOD FORBID we ever make the money sad.

God damn. I just want to go lie on the grass. Smell the dirt. Feel the rain. I can't handle this fake shit anymore. Everything feels hostile and I just want to own the roof over my head.
