@SolaDrip_@Bunchofnumbers@pomsrule5@catholicpat In every standard Mass, ALL recite the Gloria (with lines such as, "You take away the sins of the world, have mercy"), the Nicene Creed (the sum of all Christian belief), and the acclamation, "Save us Saviour of the world, for by your Cross and Resurrection you have set us free."
@Rojeliothomas@ValentinaForUSA@Pontifex The Judaeans of Jesus' time expected a warrior-king Messiah, but instead Jesus laid down His life and many of His Disciples followed suit.
@GallowsTumours@MartosaurTheML@natemaklocklin God can also be seen as Mother. Aside from Matthew 23:37 we have - Job 38:29, God has a womb; Revelation 1:13, Jesus has mastois (not a chest, breasts); Isaiah 42:14, God has labour pains; Isaiah 66:13, God is Mother. The Catholic Church's position in the Catechism:
@DamFc280@CleatsThe4th@J_Onaka You remember correctly, GL192 was one of the best Carol stories we've gotten for her imo (tho. does go to show she needs more)
Was inspired by my friend @LockheartSaly who did this awesome Question (Renee Montoya), so I colored this piece. Go support Saly by commissioning her work!
@SaraFangirl2026 There was a kind of east-west divide tbf, in the classical era at least. Been a while since I read it, Hall’s Inventing the Barbarian goes into this, and I think Said’s Orientalism touches on some Athenian plays. The Trojans /were/ quite orientalized in this period iirc
@KyleSmiley12@Sacerdotus@TheMagaHulk@Pontifex You really don't know what you're talking about. Jesus' execution was necessary to free humanity from sin. If he saved himself or his fellows, the people would have realized he was special & freed him, but he needed to die a slave's death to save & to show the last shall be first
@KyleSmiley12@Sacerdotus@TheMagaHulk@Pontifex Again you ignore my points. I quoted the words of who Christians profess to be God Incarnate. He prevents a ‘community’ execution not because the woman was innocent, but because only he without sin may cast the first stone. Your bloodlust blinds you. I’ve no use in arguing w bots
@KyleSmiley12@Sacerdotus@TheMagaHulk@Pontifex So you just ignored everything I said. If you do think yourself a Christian, you should reflect and repent - being angry is equivalent to murder in Jesus’ eyes.
@KyleSmiley12@Sacerdotus@TheMagaHulk@Pontifex Will killing their murderer bring them back? Do not repay evil for evil. Jesus rejects retributive justice in Matthew 5, it is no justice. That man’s life is in the hands of God, all we can do is ensure he is imprisoned for life.
@benno_nagel “Ass hat”? ‘I say to you that if you are angry with a brother, you will be liable to judgment, and if you insult a brother, you will be liable to the council, and if you say, ‘You fool,’ you will be liable to the hell of fire.’ Jesus’ words in Matthew 5.
@all_themoxie@USCCB@frjoshjohnson A Christian obviously relying on AI, it’s ironic given the Pope’s thoughts on that matter. Jesus overturns the eye for an eye law of Exodus and prevents a woman being executed not because she is innocent but because only he without sin may cast the first stone. Forgiving is a key
