I love reading things about ancient history, because they're always like, "and we were shocked to discover that these ancient people were....civilized???? And intelligent????" Yeah bud, that's your evolution-based biases talking. The Old Testament will fix you.

You will never hear God’s voice if you’ve already decided what he’s going to say.

You know, what I think bothers me the most about media depictions of Christianity is how everyone thinks good actions are what get you into Heaven. From modern Simpsons episodes to Hazbin Hotel, there's this weird de-Jesusifying of Christianity where you just have to be a good person who didn't do anything bad.

In reality, you don't "earn" your way to Heaven by doing good things. Ephesians 2:8-9 is pretty clear about it; "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast."

There's a lot of minutae about how having faith and genuinely following Christ will change your behavior and faith without works is dead, yadda yadda, but you literally cannot go to Heaven EXCEPT through belief in Jesus. It's just weird when things talking about Christianity specifically get that very basic thing wrong.

There is a real physiological aspect to things like anxiety and depression, and to ignore that and suggest that simply believing in Christ is a guarantee to make those problems go away is a form of prosperity gospel.
