@firasmodad Its cruel to encourage delusions. We do no service to these people by indulging them.

@firasmodad “Hence a wise general makes a point of foraging on the enemy. One cartload of the enemy's provisions is equivalent to twenty of one's own, and likewise a single picul of his provender is equivalent to twenty from one's own store.” Sun Tzu

@firasmodad But faith and purpose will rebuild it.

@firasmodad Im ambinvelant at this point.

(Proud of that one)

[Radnar Mehariel @mehariel]

@firasmodad This too was binevitable.

[Radnar Mehariel @mehariel]

@firasmodad The fact we need social media pressure to enact change/justice at a time when our government is desperately trying to censor social media tells you all you need to know about how willing the government is to act in our interests.

“Better is little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble therewith
Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith” proverbs 15:17-18

Joy and contentment do not come from the world, or from worldly things, from sensory possessions, or material wealth.

There are many who will tell you otherwise, but make no mistake: they are lying, not just to you, but to themselves as well.

Life is “easier” with material wealth, and more “pleasurable” when you have few worldly cares, but ease and pleasure are not the same as fulfilment and purpose, and it is fulfilment and purpose that is the point of our walk with Christ.

Worldly wealth brings its own worldly troubles of course, but i think this passage above is speaking of the spiritual trouble than comes from soaking in material possessions. God should be first in our lives always, and if we find ourselves more concerned with money or things, we risk tuning out the words of our Lord in favour of whatever the world can give us.

No one enjoys being in poverty, but its better to be poor in the wallet and great in the Spirit than vice-versa. This isn’t to say that everyone who is rich is unable to have a good relationship with Jesus, but there is far less temptation in being poor than there is fabulously rich, and when we find ourselves in the state of poverty, its worth remembering that the gift Jesus has already given us is far more valuable than shiny trinkets.

Our gaze should always be fixed on the throne of our Lord, the material around us is immaterial to our walk with Him.

@firasmodad When your enemy has no morals, and there are no limits to the underhanded tactics they will use to attempt to destroy you, you either have to escalate on their own playbook, or stand so firm in virtue that its obvious to even the most casual normie that right is on your side.

[Radnar Mehariel @mehariel]

I’m not going to spend much time feeling bad for Farrage the politician, but this is just yet another precedent being set about how the system will remove anyone it sees as a threat, regardless of law or good form. No different than the de-banking scandals.

We’re moving far, far away from the days when political bitter enemies sat in Parliment and still respected each other as equals, were able to debate rationally, could come to agreements.

What we’re moving towards is something much bleaker for our chances of civil discourse being the solution that is workable.

[Radnar Mehariel @mehariel]

@firasmodad Its crazy that terrorists don’t have to serve their full sentences. Surely anyone convicted under terrorist offences (or murder) should be forced to serve every year they are given.

Or, you know… executed like any other society in history would have done.

@Sargon_of_Akkad Do boys even get to be boys in the modern day?

[Radnar Mehariel @mehariel]

I think the Catholic church is in a better place now than historically. I think historically it was a lot more corrupt than now. Popes like the Borgia who gathered wealth from indulgences, openly had children, acted more like a warlord are all things that helped lead to the Reformation.

And yes, sorry i probably exaggerated about Mary, but praying to anyone other than Jesus feels a little strange to me. Jesus is the one who intercedes on our behalf to the Father, why do we need others to intercede on our behalf to Jesus?

My main worry with the saints is corruption. Like the most recent saint, the young man who designed websites, and was canonised after his family donated huge sums of money to the church, is that God’s will or mans? Should we now be praying to that young man? If a pope like Alexander VI who was living openly in sin creates a saint for corrupt reasons is that just as valid as sainthood granted for good and spiritual reasons?

Im not even saying that maybe praying to saints to intercede for you IS wrong, but if it even might be, what reason is there not to just keep praying solely to Jesus, which we know IS correct.

Despite that it may sound like i’m attacking the Catholic church, i promise that’s not my intention, i truly think its one of the best denominations out there, and i respect Catholics as my brothers and sisters in Christ. I’m just hesitant to know if i should be counting myself as one when i disagree with some of it.

[Radnar Mehariel @mehariel]

Yes, but i really struggle to know which Church. I’m caught somewhere between being a Protestant and a Catholic, in that i see a lot of good points in the ideal of Protestantism, the Catholic Church HAD become involved too much in the world, hoarding wealth, deifying the Virgin Mary more than i think is correct.

But modern Protestant churches are mostly apostate, just look at the state of the CoE. And i see plenty of good points in Catholicism, the weight of their traditions, their adherence to plenty of Biblical laws that other churches have abandoned.

Its just really difficult to know which Church i feel connected to, or even what “The” Church is, when everything from Orthodoxy to Mormonism counts itself as the “real” one.

(Sorry for the long reply, this is just something i’ve been struggling with as a Christian)

[Radnar Mehariel @mehariel]

@firasmodad Of course, but the church structure as it is laid out in Acts, the description of the beginning of the church, is nothing like modern churches.

How do we know which changes from that layout are pleasing to God and which aren’t?

[Radnar Mehariel @mehariel]

@frozenaesthetic All of these examples are about a thousand years old.
