A Treasure of Sin
Violence and Lust,
Vain Greed and Pride.
Humanity's Lost,
In Malafide.
Greed, Lust, Selfishness, and Gaslighting,
Shaming the honorable and celebrating the shameful,
Degrading all,
Taking a dump on Reality,
Turning all to waste,
O bravo, o "human" race.

Satan: Master of Disguise
The following excerpt is taken from What Every Christian Should Know About Satan. Order your copy in print, Kindle, or Audible versions here. The apostle Paul writes: “For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no great surprise if his servants…

I couldn’t find the clip from the Lord of the Rings earlier…
youtube
I wanted to share this scripture as well:
They only want your position, your “signet ring” because they are motivated by GREED and POWER only.
Tumblr media
We all struggle with sin but this is NOT THAT. Look at Baggins face 👀👀👀👀👀 Someone’s mask is about to fall off.
What’s interesting about these scene is hidden sexual connotations. Hhhmmmmmmmmmm.
On another note, a group of demons spoke to me and said “we are coming to collect” and I said “collect what?” They replied “blood” 🩸 The demons want their payment and this time it’s not just “rum” it’s blood…. Your blood 🪙 the blood of those who conjured them up.
Only the blood of Jesus Christ can save us. King James wrote his famous book on demonology because he understood this… he understood how the demonic kingdom works.
Now I was told we shouldn’t talk to demons but the LORD has given some of us authority to do so. This shocked the hell out of me. I’m not gonna lie but they sounded like Venom 🕷️🕸️ and it makes sense because I had another dream of spider webs.
These wicked ppl put their faith in demons. Well if you believe in demons and the havoc they can create, what do you think God will do to you?
Tumblr media
youtube
Crazy how he consistently says “we are…WE” reminds of demonic possession don’t it? Reminds me of the legion of demons Jesus exorcised into the pigs.
Also, venom speaks of healing the world, but it’s a twisted lie. Not everyone who speaks of peace is really for peace babes just like not everyone who says “LORD LORD” Jesus will recognize.
Tumblr media
This is also how some demons look when they have tentacles
🐙
👀
Judgement is coming for these ppl.
——-
Another spirit that came to me was the Laughing Buddha. The dream was soooooooooooooooooooo clear I felt as though he was standing in front of me. We were in some dark palace that looked like a secret garden. It reminded of one of my favourite wallpapers. His eyes were all white. No pupils in sight. He appeared to be in good spirits. He was indeed laughing and had a pot belly but he was so pale. It was like he was made of porcelain or white jade. Interesting eh?

Ps. Speaking of voices, the LORD showed me Lil Durk. Hope he’s ok.

2 Corinthians 11:12–13
12 Ὃ δὲ ποιῶ, καὶ ποιήσω, ἵνα ἐκκόψω τὴν ἀφορμὴν τῶν θελόντων ἀφορμήν, ἵνα ἐν ᾧ καυχῶνται εὑρεθῶσιν καθὼς καὶ ἡμεῖς. 13 οἱ γὰρ τοιοῦτοι ψευδαπόστολοι, ἐργάται δόλιοι, μετασχηματιζόμενοι εἰς ἀποστόλους Χριστοῦ. 
My translation: 
12 But that which I do, I also will do, in order that I might cut off the base of those desiring a base that, in that which they boast, they might be found just as also we are. 13 For such ones are false envoys, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into envoys of the Anointed. 
Notes: 
11:12 
The neuter relative pronoun ὃ is its own antecedent (“that which”), although conceptually the antecedent is κατενάρκησα οὐθενός in verse 9 (NIGTC). ὃ is the direct object of the present ποιῶ (from ποιέω). The clause ὃ ποιῶ functions as the direct object of the future ποιήσω (from ποιέω); NIV: “I will keep on doing what I am doing”. καὶ is adjunctive (“also”). 
Alternatively, ICC understands the whole clause Ὃ δὲ ποιῶ, καὶ ποιήσω to function as the subject of an implicit γίνεται with καὶ copulative (“But what I am doing, and shall do, is done so that ...”). 
ἵνα + subjunctive indicates purpose with ποιήσω above. 
ἐκκόπτω (10x) is, “I cut off” (BDAG), from ἐκ + κόπτω (8x) “I cut”; here, “remove”; NASB, NET: “eliminate”; ESV; “undermine”; NRSV, HCSB: “deny”. The direct object of the aorist subjunctive ἐκκόψω is τὴν ἀφορμὴν (“occasion, opportunity”; see note on 5:12). The articular present participle τῶν θελόντων (from θέλω) is substantival, referring to Paul’s detractors; the genitive is partitive. ἀφορμήν is the direct object of θέλω. 
The second instance ἵνα + subjunctive also indicates purpose, with ἀφορμήν, effectively epexegetical. 
The relative pronoun ᾧ is its own antecedent (“that which”); the full expression would be ἐν ἐκείνῳ ὅ καυχῶνται, where ὅ is the direct object of the present καυχῶνται (from καυχάομαι). The prepositional phrase ἐν ᾧ καυχῶνται indicates reference/respect with the aorist passive subjunctive εὑρεθῶσιν (from εὑρίσκω); as the subjunctive indicates purpose, it is often translated into English as an infinitive (“to be found, with respect to that which they boast,...”). An infinitive such as εἶναι can be supplied as the direct object of εὑρίσκω; εἶναι would then be modified by the comparative adverb καθὼς. καὶ is adjunctive (“also”), and ἡμεῖς is the subject of an implied ἐσμεν (lit. “found to be just as we also are”; NRSV: “to be recognized as our equals”). 
11:13 
The hapax legomenon ὁ ψευδαπόστολος, from ψευδής + ὁ ἀπόστολος, is “false apostle”. The article οἱ substantizes the demonstrative pronoun τοιοῦτοι as the subject of an implied εἰσιν, of which ψευδαπόστολο�� is the predicate nominative. Alternatively, τοιοῦτοι could be attributive, with οἱ ... ψευδαπόστολοι the subject of the implied εἰσιν and ἐργάται below the predicate nominative. 
ὁ ἐργάτης (16x) is, “worker, laborer” (BDAG), from ἐργάζομαι “I work” (cf. τό ἔργον “work”). ‘In the early church ἐργάτης was a technical term denoting a person engaged in Christian service, particularly missionary activity’ (NIGTC). 
The hapax legomenon δόλιος is, “deceitful, treacherous” (BDAG), from ὁ δόλος (11x) “deceit” (cf. 12:16). The adjective δόλιοι is attributive with ἐργάται, which is the predicate of an implied εἰσιν or appositional to ψευδαπόστολοι above. The unexpressed subject of the implied verb is τῶν θελόντων (v. 12). 
μετασχηματίζω (5x, 3 of which in this passage), from μετά “change” + τό σχῆμα (2x) “shape, form”, is, “I transform, change” (BDAG); in the middle-voice: “disguise oneself”; NIV: “masquerading”. The present middle participle μετασχηματιζόμενοι could be taken as periphrastic with the implied εἰσιν or attributive with ἐργάται (perhaps epexegetical: “deceitful [in that they are] disguising themselves”). εἰς (“into”) with ἀποστόλους after the μετα-prefixed verb indicates the (apparent) result of the change. Χριστοῦ is a genitive of source or perhaps relationship.

3 But I fear that somehow your pure and undivided devotion to Christ will be corrupted, just as Eve was deceived by the cunning ways of the serpent. 4 You happily put up with whatever anyone tells you, even if they preach a different Jesus than the one we preach, or a different kind of Spirit than the one you received, or a different kind of gospel than the one you believed. 5 But I don’t consider myself inferior in any way to these “super apostles” who teach such things. 6 I may be unskilled as a speaker, but I’m not lacking in knowledge. We have made this clear to you in every possible way.
2 Corinthians 11:3-6 (NLT)

a while ago i mentioned that i made a dragon design for R. Line, so here it finally is in action 👍
Tumblr media
[ID: A digital drawing of a dragon on a red background. The dragon has dark grey skin, white eyes, and on her head, black, curving horns that curve to a point at the end. She has a broad chest which curves into a thin waist, on which the outline of her ribs stick out, and a long, thin tail which ends in a sharp point. She is wearing a thick gold band around her neck, attached to which is a golden charm made of six triangles attached to a circle to represent a sun.
Her body is facing to the left, but her head is twisted around to look towards the right. Her mouth is open wide and pulled downwards in an expression of terror, showing her sharp white teeth, and her eye is wide with a slit black pupil.
She is standing on a light grey platform, against which her tail lays flat, then bends back up again at a sharp angle. She is in a crouching stance, with her right front leg resting on the ground, her left front leg raised into the air, and her two hind paws on the ground. Her right front leg and right hind leg are behind her, and are blocked out in solid black. Her left front paw is stretched out in front of her, showing the sharp claws on her fingers.
In the right corner of the canvas is a yellow sun, which has many overlapping yellow lines around its edge to show light coming off, and is radiating rays of yellow light which start off thin and widen as they go. In between these are thinner yellow lines. When these rays and lines meet the grey surface upon which she’s standing, they bend at an angle to align with the surface.
One of the rays of light passes through the dragons’ chest, piercing through it in a burst of white and yellow light which continue through to the other side. In the middle of the sun is an eye with a red pupil with a small green dot in the center. The eye is looking down at the dragon with an unreadable expression.
There is white text with a black border in all capital letters around the dragon. To the top left of her head is text that reads, “Mine eyes have seen the glory,” and right above where her tail starts is text that reads, “Of the sacred one divine.”
End ID.]

The Expression "Deeds of the Law" is Talmud, Not "The Laws of God"
The Expression "Deeds of the Law" is Talmud, Not "The Laws of God"
We always thought that the Law of Elohim in the Pentateuch, given to Moses on Mount Horeb on the Sinai peninsula, was eliminated by this verse Romans 3:20 and others in Galatians under the preaching of the Apostle Paul. But now it turns out that it is and always was false. The expression “Deeds of the Law” is Talmud (rabbinic traditions, discussions of Jewish laws, customs and halakha, passed…

Title: Garth's Gambit
Chapter 1: The Arrival
As dawn broke over the sprawling city of Vesterdell, Garth One-eye slipped through the bustling streets like a shadow. His cloak drawn tight around him, concealing his distinctive features, Garth made his way towards the heart of the city where the Arena stood, its towering spires piercing the sky.
Arriving at the gates of the Arena, Garth's presence elicited wary glances from the guards. Unperturbed, he presented himself as a challenger seeking to test his mettle in the upcoming Tournament of Mages. The guards, recognizing the aura of power emanating from Garth, reluctantly allowed him entry.
Chapter 2: The Unveiling
Inside the Arena, Garth's arrival sent ripples of unease through the ranks of the competing Houses. Whispers of speculation followed him as he strode through the corridors, his single eye surveying the surroundings with keen interest.
At the opening ceremony, Garth stood among the other challengers, his presence commanding attention. As the Grand Master of the Arena addressed the assembled fighters, Garth's gaze remained fixed on the imposing figure, a silent challenge in his stance.
Chapter 3: The Challenge
As the Tournament commenced, Garth swiftly distinguished himself on the battlefield. His mastery of magic and combat left his opponents in awe and his allies in admiration. Yet, with each victory, Garth's enigmatic nature only deepened, fueling speculation and intrigue among the Houses.
Chapter 4: The Confrontation
In the heat of battle, Garth found himself confronted by a formidable opponent from the House of Eldoria, a rival faction known for their ruthless tactics. With spells flying and blades clashing, Garth faced his adversary head-on, his determination unyielding.
As the duel reached its climax, Garth unleashed a spell of unparalleled potency, shattering his opponent's defenses and emerging victorious. The stunned silence that followed was broken only by the roar of the crowd, their admiration mingled with fear.
youtube
Chapter 5: The Revelation
In the aftermath of the battle, Garth's true identity was finally revealed. Born into a House long thought extinct, Garth bore the legacy of ancient magic and a lineage steeped in mystery. His presence in the Arena was not merely a challenge to the other Houses but a reckoning with destiny itself.
As the Tournament neared its conclusion, Garth stood poised on the brink of triumph, his journey far from over. With the fate of Vesterdell hanging in the balance, Garth's next move would determine the course of history itself.
Epilogue: The Legacy
As the sun set on the final day of the Tournament, Garth emerged victorious, his name etched into the annals of legend. Yet, his journey was far from over, for beyond the Arena lay a world fraught with peril and possibility.
youtube
With newfound allies at his side and ancient powers at his command, Garth embarked on a quest to uncover the truth behind his lineage and unlock the secrets of his forgotten House. For in the heart of darkness, where magic and mystery converge, Garth's true destiny awaited.

Paul and the False Apostles
1 I wish you would tolerate me, even when I am a bit foolish. Please do! 2 I am jealous for you, just as God is; you are like a pure virgin whom I have promised in marriage to one man only, Christ himself. 3 I am afraid that your minds will be corrupted and that you will abandon your full and pure devotion to Christ—in the same way that Eve was deceived by the snake's clever lies. 4 For you gladly tolerate anyone who comes to you and preaches a different Jesus, not the one we preached; and you accept a spirit and a gospel completely different from the Spirit and the gospel you received from us!
5 I do not think that I am the least bit inferior to those very special so-called “apostles” of yours! 6 Perhaps I am an amateur in speaking, but certainly not in knowledge; we have made this clear to you at all times and in all conditions.
7 I did not charge you a thing when I preached the Good News of God to you; I humbled myself in order to make you important. Was that wrong of me? 8 While I was working among you, I was paid by other churches. I was robbing them, so to speak, in order to help you. 9 And during the time I was with you I did not bother you for help when I needed money; the believers who came from Macedonia brought me everything I needed. As in the past, so in the future: I will never be a burden to you! 10 By Christ's truth in me, I promise that this boast of mine will not be silenced anywhere in all of Achaia. 11 Do I say this because I don't love you? God knows I love you!
12 I will go on doing what I am doing now, in order to keep those other “apostles” from having any reason for boasting and saying that they work in the same way that we do. 13 Those men are not true apostles—they are false apostles, who lie about their work and disguise themselves to look like real apostles of Christ. 14 Well, no wonder! Even Satan can disguise himself to look like an angel of light! 15 So it is no great thing if his servants disguise themselves to look like servants of righteousness. In the end they will get exactly what their actions deserve.
Paul's Sufferings as an Apostle
16 I repeat: no one should think that I am a fool. But if you do, at least accept me as a fool, just so I will have a little to boast of. 17 Of course what I am saying now is not what the Lord would have me say; in this matter of boasting I am really talking like a fool. 18 But since there are so many who boast for merely human reasons, I will do the same. 19 You yourselves are so wise, and so you gladly tolerate fools! 20 You tolerate anyone who orders you around or takes advantage of you or traps you or looks down on you or slaps you in the face. 21 I am ashamed to admit that we were too timid to do those things!
But if anyone dares to boast about something—I am talking like a fool—I will be just as daring. 22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they Abraham's descendants? So am I. 23 Are they Christ's servants? I sound like a madman—but I am a better servant than they are! I have worked much harder, I have been in prison more times, I have been whipped much more, and I have been near death more often. 24 Five times I was given the thirty-nine lashes by the Jews; 25 three times I was whipped by the Romans; and once I was stoned. I have been in three shipwrecks, and once I spent twenty-four hours in the water. 26 In my many travels I have been in danger from floods and from robbers, in danger from my own people and from Gentiles; there have been dangers in the cities, dangers in the wilds, dangers on the high seas, and dangers from false friends. 27 There has been work and toil; often I have gone without sleep; I have been hungry and thirsty; I have often been without enough food, shelter, or clothing. 28 And not to mention other things, every day I am under the pressure of my concern for all the churches. 29 When someone is weak, then I feel weak too; when someone is led into sin, I am filled with distress.
30 If I must boast, I will boast about things that show how weak I am. 31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus—blessed be his name forever!—knows that I am not lying. 32 When I was in Damascus, the governor under King Aretas placed guards at the city gates to arrest me. 33 But I was let down in a basket through an opening in the wall and escaped from him. — 2 Corinthians 11 | Good News Translation (GNT) The Holy Bible; Good News Translation Copyright © 1992 by American Bible Society.

ANDOR: Ahem. I have heard that the greatest persuasion is nothing more than telling the truth, so I speak in the voice given me by my mother, Freya. I make no grand overtones or guttural whispers for dramatic effect. 
(MARKET VENDOR: More flavours! Come and drink away your sorrows!)
ANDOR: I am only Andor. My voice trembles.
(MARKET VENDOR: More flavours! Come and drink away your sorrows!)
ANDOR: I have come to ask my father a question. Will you listen? Father, I know you're listening too.
LIEUTENANT AL: Prince Andor!
ANDOR: Haven't you noticed? Do these wings look like the product of some frivolous magic? Whom do you suppose the statue at the bridge represents? Not Mianite. I am an acolyte of the wounded goddess; I always have been. We worship Ianite.
LIEUTENANT AL: I have found evidence of a rebellion against Mianite! And I will have to arrest you, Prince, for leading this rebellion!
[With each syllable from Andor's lips grows a surrounding gust of wind, which halts the Lieutenant's advance, despite his best efforts to subdue the awakening acolyte.]
KING HELGRIND, now named APOSTLE HELGRIND: ANDOR!!!
ANDOR: While you have governed this port city and allocated its resources to the glorification of your "one true god," I-
APOSTLE HELGRIND, interrupting: You no longer have a place in this town! During my time away, the truth of the one true god has only become clearer.
ANDOR, speaking louder: I have been chiseling Ianite's likeness into your stones and penning her mantras into your paper. Her teachings have been with me all these years, guiding me towards a day of peace and unity-
LIEUTENANT AL: You will never…!
ANDOR, now shouting: -while you have winced at the thought of our hope and stooped over the corpses of the lost.
APOSTLE HELGRIND: Lieutenant, seize Andor and take him to our Lord.
ANDOR: If you had but journeyed with me! I am at the threshold. Soon, Ianite will rise! And my mother and sister's spirits will rise with her.
APOSTLE HELGRIND: Lieutenant!
LIEUTENANT AL: I- AM- TRYING!
ANDOR: I hear your voice, father. I hear your anger. 
APOSTLE HELGRIND: ENOUGH OF THIS NONSENSE.
ANDOR: Do what you will with me. But first, know this. If your god is just and blameless, with flawless integrity, then fear not. Your battle is already won. But if there is the smallest fracture in Mianite's armor… then the crevice will widen. The shell will corrode. And Mianite's sins and yours will seep through. All the false glory you have built will be wiped in preparation for this world's restoration and rebirth. I do not know why you begrudge Ianite, for our family's death, nor why you hide your wounds, father. But I do know that healing is available to you. It is the greatest gift anyone can receive, greater than a shield, greater than a sword. 
LIEUTENANT AL: Andor!
ANDOR: Greater than your perfect, made-up world. If it is your wish, see this to its end. Do everything in your power to create the world you so crave. I cannot stay your hand. I raise no sword. I wear no armor. I have only this boomerang, given by a true friend. You could stop this. We could go to the docks, and throw it, just like old times with Mom. We could. I invite you.
[ANDOR collapses from exhaustion. The protecting wind subsides, and he is immediately seized by LIEUTENANT AL.]
