@TomMageeHimself Thank you!

@MateyYanakiev That's my point, I truly believe that what goes on the political stage has as a contributing factor, the puppeteering of spiritual entities. Prayer is our primary weapon

[Onwuasoghiakuchidiebere @Oracle708]

@MateyYanakiev We should center our energy on prayer. Over reliance on political stratagems corrodes the faith. Prayer exist as the ideal response to the simultaneous and opposing forces of angst and humility that are present in the just soul.

[Onwuasoghiakuchidiebere @Oracle708]

@MateyYanakiev Your job as a Christian is prayers and evangelisation, the Kingdom of God like the yeast in bread works from the bottom up, not top down

[Onwuasoghiakuchidiebere @Oracle708]

@MateyYanakiev Thus even when he was imprisoned, he did not call for protests but prayers. I think that it is a sign of doubt, when one seeks within the means of force to disarm the devil.

The purest expression of the will to power is kenosis.
Faith is the yes, the highest affirmation of life.

In inordinate humility I found a sublime power, under voluntary servitude I tasted a subtle freedom; defiant to darwinian pressure, rebel to necessity, In my obedience I have revolted against the universe!

The Beatitudes are the new heart promised by the prophets to all of us who were called to believe, not a list of distant ideals and aspirations exclusive to the illuminati caste of friars and nuns.

When Christians try to force belief, enforce uniformity of conscience, or legislate people into the kingdom, they contradict the King they claim to serve. Jesus warned against uprooting the “tares” ourselves, because in our zeal we destroy wheat as well (Matthew 13:29–30). Coercion is not courage; it is unbelief masquerading as zeal. The kingdom ethic is witness, persuasion, and costly love, not compulsion.

Jesus saying on at least two occasions that you can just annoy God until you get what you need is very strange. The closest fundamental human relational analogue is that of wife to husband.

[Mark Chironna @markchironna]

Formation was meant to teach us to read the world through Scripture. What we have instead is a generation that reads Scripture through the headlines. The news sets the agenda, and the text is summoned afterward to ratify what fear has already decided. This is not interpretation. It is the inversion of it, and it produces a faith that is forever reacting and never being formed.

@NathanBozeman2 And way more fun!

Try as I might I can’t help but be convinced by e.g Jürgen Moltmann that any Christianity worth having must affirm that in some real sense God died on the cross. Not just presided over the sacrifice of another, the son, while God remains this deathless alien. “The only way past protest atheism is through a theology of the cross which understands God as the suffering God in the suffering of Christ and which cries out with the godforsaken God, ‘My God, why have you forsaken me?’ For this theology, God and suffering are no longer contradictions, as in theism and atheism, but God’s being is suffering and the suffering is in God’s being itself, because God is love…God himself loves and suffers the death of Christ in his love…is known as the human God in the crucified Son of Man.”

We love, we are always loving, it is our default, our eternal being.
What varies only is the object of our love.

[Onwuasoghiakuchidiebere @Oracle708]

@writeontheedg3 In Torah, sin is a corruption of sacrifice and as such only consequent, only secondary.
Sacrifice is the primary activity, not one of mourning—or although better, of repentance—sacrifice is celebration!

Sometimes in conversations, especially in the context of evangelism, I will say something like, "I don't really care about morals."

Obviously I do care about living a moral life -- everyone should. The point of this rhetorical flourish is to emphasize the fact that the reduction of religion simply to the dimension of moral behavior (which Charles Taylor says happened during the Enlightement) has been one of the worst things for religion in the Modern/Western world.

In fact, just not-sinning is the absolute baby step of the spiritual life, the bottom rung of the ladder. Not only are we in constant danger of forgetting this, we have done a very bad job of articulating what anything beyond that first step might look like to the world at large.

Never soul
was set free without being made to feel its slavery.

[Onwuasoghiakuchidiebere @Oracle708]

We also have no need of anything that is made. Love me, my brothers, for I am infinitely superfluous, and your love shall be like His, born neither of your need nor of my deserving, but a plain bounty. Blessed be He!”
