Cultural exegesis for a secular age. Finding Transcendence in the last place we expect: music + film. If Christ haunts entertainment, I’m your ghost hunter.
Matt Johnson of The The wrote “Love Is Stronger Than Death” in 1992, following the death of his brother, and described the songwriting as therapeutic amid his grief.
It’s a defiant, haunting reminder that some bonds refuse to surrender.
Even to death.

@tetelestaiz@Nickisbackbaby If there is truly no human mediation between Christ and His Church, why did Christ Himself appoint apostles to teach, forgive sins, shepherd His flock, and exercise binding authority in His name?

Sola scriptura is a heresy and absurd.

@Nickisbackbaby The Church is the Mystical Body of Christ.
Church Triumphant in Heaven.
Church Suffering in Purgatory.
Church Militant on Earth.
The first pope (“papa”) was instituted with Christ’s Church by Jesus Himself.
From St. Peter to Pope Leo today, the Pope is the Vicar of Christ.
@floydbrown Interesting and true.
But where did Marxism come from?
Marx and Engels were proto-Zionists.
And we know Herzl’s Zionism is rooted in Freemasonic Kabbalahistic Luciferianism.
Self-apotheosistic Zionism is the root system of Marxism.
Keep digging.
Remember when we were children and everything was laced with wonder?

Chesterton says the purpose of the imagination is not to make strange things settled as to make settled things strange.
Not so much to make wonders facts
As to make facts wonders.
Why?
Because we are prone to taking the miracle of existence for granted.
Wonder is essential.
@5149jamesli A dome that large houses a brain that large which informs this kid to say what he said.
It’s a function of numerous folds in the cerebral cortex.
Leave this poor intelligent Icelanders alone.
You’re not going to convert them.
@A_Hollywood1776@Kram_Della_Kram@shipwreckshow@CocaCola Please stop attempting to Judaize Jesus and Christianity.
Judaism ended in 33AD, fulfilled in Christ’s Resurrection and His establishment of the Apostolic Church.
We’ve been through this 1800 centuries ago.
@A_Hollywood1776@shipwreckshow@CocaCola Yes try His real name.
He didn’t speak the hacked up modern version of Hebrew on the market today.
He spoke Aramaic.
Yeshu is the most likely pronunciation in the 1st-century Galilean Aramaic dialect that Jesus and His disciples would have spoken in their everyday lives.
