EuroTrip | Part 23 | King Of Europa Conference League

#FM24 #EuroTrip Part 23: King of Europa Conference League. Trebor Mahtal's love affair with @europacnfleague continues as a magical run sees him lead @moldefotball all the way to the Final! But could he win his 3rd ECL of this adventure? Read here:

A strange 12 months had seen Trebor Mahtal spend a very short time in Turkey before jumping ship to Molde Fotballklub, who narrowly missed out on the Norwegian title to Brann. Mahtal had inherited a good core of young players but was expecting a very busy off-season ahead of the 2043 campaign. The winter break began with some odd news as newly elected chairperson Jørgen Sjønnesen announced plans…

[apenitentialprayer]

are there any Jews who view Jesus in a positive way (aside from like messianic Jews who, as far I’ve understood, are considered evangelical Christians by all other Jews)

Okay, ah, to answer this question simply: to my knowledge, as far as Jewish communities who (1) self-identify as Jewish, (2) consider themselves practicing Judaism, and (3) deny that Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah go, none of them have an "official" stance on Jesus. Jesus may be a false Messiah, but this is only a "doctrine" in Judaism the same way that the fact that Vissarion of Siberia is a false Parousia of Jesus is a "doctrine" in Christianity — which is to say, not so much an actually asserted belief, but a natural corollary to more deeply held beliefs.

That being said, individual Jewish people have held a variety of beliefs about Jesus of Nazareth. Some of them are, well, quite negative. For example, one Hasidic story tells of how the Baal Shem Tov saw Jesus and Sabbatai Zvi (both false Messiahs) stuck in the same level of Hell together; the infamous Toledot Yeshu, a parody gospel, certainly does not paint Jesus or His Mother in a particularly good light; Maimonides doesn't even use the usual "may his name be blotted out" as he would when talking about an enemy of Israel, but instead uses "may his bones be ground to dust" after citing Jesus by name.

There are relatively sympathetic views among those whose views are negative too, for the record; for example, there's a story of a Rabbi, Yehoshua ben Prachya, who was said to have been incredibly cruel to a student, and by the time he chose to relent that student had already gone off to form his own idolatrous sect. Struck by the consequences of his harshness, he would go on to emphasize the importance of kindness and giving people the benefit of the doubt. Though the timeline doesn't match up (Yehoshua lived two hundred years before Him), some commentators identified this student as Yeshu the Nazarene.

But, let's actually answer your question. You will find a spectrum of relatively positive views. Bob Dylan technically falls outside the parameters I listed above because he does seem to believe Jesus is the Messiah, but I'll use him as the extreme example, because he continued to be active in his Orthodox Jewish community after his conversion. You also have Leonard Cohen, whose Jewishness was very important to him, who could at least understand the importance of the mystical connection to Jesus that Christians claimed as their own — "the figure of Jesus, nailed to a human predicament, summoning the heart to comprehend its own suffering."

You have some scholars, like Amy-Jill Levine; in the work she did in The Misunderstood Jew, The Historical Jesus in Context, and The Jewish Annotated New Testament, she tries to emphasize the idea that the Person of Jesus is something that can bring Christians and Jews into closer ecumenical dialogue; that if Christians could get more comfortable with the Jewish context of Jesus, and if the Jewish community could see the New Testament as a corpus of texts that isn't non-Jewish, but rather a particular type of first century Jewish, then there could be ground for both groups to better understand each other.

During the early modern period, there were attempts by some Jewish thinkers to reclaim Jesus. Rabbi Jacob Emden argued that Jesus never meant to abolish the Law, and that He has actually "done a double kindness in the world" by increasing veneration of the Torah and bringing light to the Gentiles, if only the Gentiles could learn how to properly interpret their own Scriptures (talk about flipping the script!). Moses Mendelssohn also claimed that Jesus never meant to abrogate the Law, and suggested that Jesus and the early Christian community could be models that modern 19th century Jews living among oppressive Prussian authorities could emulate.

The above paragraph was about Jewish individuals who tried to distance Jesus from traditional Christian understandings of Him. So I'm going to end, I think, with Rabbi Jacob Neusner, who engaged the Gospel on its own terms. In 1993, he published A Rabbi Talks with Jesus. In this book, Rabbi Neusner imagines himself as a first century Jewish man and tries to earnestly listen to and consider the words of Jesus as depicted in the Gospel of Matthew. This work places the words of Jesus in conversation with the Rabbinic tradition, and ultimately ends with Neusner being unconvinced and unable to follow Jesus as His disciple. Pope Benedict lauded this work as an authentic exercise in interreligious dialogue, and cites it frequently in his own Jesus of Nazareth.

Okay so I am posting this lineart of my OC before I will dispose of the failure I had created while I was coloring it for the entire fucking night.

I am so mad at myself for ruining hours of work and I kinda want to cry but hey thats life. I'll be more carefull next time but for now I will have to accept and deal with this loss.

Anyways this is Vissarion. Hes for my AU which takes place in jjba universe but doesnt have to do anything with Joestars at all.

He is 31 years old cosmetic surgeon and is a kind of morally gray character. He serves as a minor antagonist but his values are very fluid.

I could yapp about him for hours so I will just end it here for now.

[ginevrastilinski-ocs]

hotd ocs' dragons pls pls pls i need the babies 🥺

Yes yes yes the big kitties!! Minella Baratheon and her children (Tyrek, Myranda, Myrenna and Tommard Lannister) are not here since they don't have Targaryen's/Old Valyrian blood rip

Aegena - Goldfyre (The Golden Queen); golden scales with lighter underbelly, white wings, black eyes. From the same clutch as Sunfyre, they're totally considered twins just like their riders. Almost possessive with Aegena, won't let anyone get too close to her when they're together, the only exceptions being her children.

Aerion - Karnax; black with a gold underbelly and wings, yellow eyes. The same size as Arrax (they're from the same clutch), very skilled with tricks. Named after the first Targaryen's dragon just like Aerion is named after the first dragonrider. After Lucerys and Arrax's death both the dragon and his rider started to get worse and worse, sick and fade, after they lost their other half.

Berena - Frostbite (also sometimes mockingly called Zokla by her enemies, just like Berena); pearlescent white with light blue scales, blue eyes. She shouldn't have had a dragon, but Vermax let her ride him before and he flew away and came back with two eggs just before she started giving birth to her first child. She called her own dragon Frostbite and her child's one Frostfyre.

Heleanora - Azantys; light pink, almost white, with dark red scales, wings and underbelly, black eyes. Very small, one of the fastest dragon, but also skilled with tricks yet very much savage in battle. When she was little Heleanora often sneaked to the Dragonpit and slept near her dragon. Ironically, just like his rider is with Aemond, Azantys is fiercely protective of Vhagar, even if she could basically swallow him in a second so she definitely doesn't need it lol

Laenyra - Thalassor; dark navy with lighter wings, blue eyes. Average size for a dragon, fierce and very aggressive if Laenyra is in danger, not very much trick-skilled but loves flying near water to splash his rider. Born from one of Vermithor & Silverwing's clutches, his egg was left in the Dragonpit by Silverwing herself and she refused to leave the egg until Laenor arrived to take it and bring it to baby Laenyra.

Laverna - Shrykos; light green with black scales and wings, darker underbelly, green eyes. Was a wild dragon until she saved Laverna's life and claimed her, with much shock form anyone since she doesn't have Valyrian blood.

Maerea - Vermithor (The Bronze Fury); bronze with darker wings. Previously King Jaehaerys's dragon, unclaimed for years until little Maerea decided she wanted to see the Bronze Fury. Rhaenyra, that totally has a soft spot for her and wanted to make her happy, took her to his cave on Dragonmont and he claimed her. Technically Maerea had a dragon before but she lost it even before meeting it bc the Cannibal eat the egg.

Nera - Zōbrie; all black with just a slightly lighter underbelly, purple eyes. Was a gift from Daemon after he found out she was his daughter (was never official btw but he grow fond of her anyway), absolutely furious in battle, even if she's not a huge size, and only Nera can get close to her without getting hurt. Ironically literally named Black in High Valyrian (Just like Nera means black in italian btw) while Nera betrays the Blacks and falls in love with Aegon.

Taryssa - Vissarion (also called Kēli, that means cat in High Valyrian, at first as mock from the court but Taryssa starts to use it as a cute nickname to say fuck you to anyone that used it before); very dark green with bronze underbelly, dark yellow eyes. The smallest dragon ever lived until that moment, so small that Taryssa can't even ride it. Unlike the last dragons, that are sick and can't live long, Vissarion is completely healthy, just very very small, but this adds doubts to the "Taryssa is a bastard child" theory and makes Alicent even more mad about it. Will follow Taryssa anywhere, most times sleeps at the end of her bed.
