#10 commandments

[penguinofspades]

The angels not knowing the rules for who gets into heaven makes zero fucking sense when the 10 commandments are right there.

You could even use it to point out how corrupt Heaven is. For example, perhaps Sir Pentious is not accepted into heaven despite him genuinely redeeming himself because "sorry dude you didn't honor your parents lmao" or some shit like that.

Meanwhile, a more vile person (let's use Val as an easy example) could be on their deathbed. They make a last minute conversion and as a result they're accepted into heaven since they technically kept all of the commandments.

In a forest full of fairies and wonder, it'd come to no surprise that a sense of happiness filled the air wherever the Fairy King had gone. Gloxinia was flying through the trees, allowing his majestic wings to flutter behind him, looking for many little fairies as they hid from him.

His favorite game to play, hide and seek; Especially as he'd come across so many that were terrible at keeping quiet! They'd either just giggle to themselves or speak to one another; telling each other 'Keep quiet! He might hear us!'

"Caught you!" He'd speak as he would sneak up on them, giving them a sudden fright before putting their heads down at the idea of being found already.

"Aww man." "Boo!" "Hey lets go find the others!" They'd all speak in union before floating off.

The fairy king would cross his arms over his bare chest with a chuckle towards the fairies, watching as they'd fly off to play their own games. "Fairy king!!" Gloxinia was quick to turn to a few little pixies surrounding him with frightened and confused looks. "We felt something creeping around in the forest at the waterfall! It was a weird presence!!"

"Really?" He seemed to almost laugh it off and pat them all on the head, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it." He assured before flying off through the forest. It couldn't be that bad, likely a demon. He can handle that.

Well, at the time he wasn't expecting to have met a fairy like them.

After some time, Gloxinia felt a suspicion creeping up his back. There wasn't a sign of anything strange lurking through the trees the longer he searched.

That's when he heard the smallest sounds of something moving towards the ground, walking slowly and bushes rustled. As soon as rushed to the area, it was just a fairy.

"What are you doing here?" Gloxinia asked confused but didn't get an answer from the certain fairy as they turned to him, their expression nothing he's seen before on a fairy. It was a poker face... They almost looked like they were shocked or confused by his sudden appearance. He didn't waste any time, "You haven't seen any demons or anything strange around here, right?"

"no," they spoke, their voice timid and almost on edge.

it felt like was a waste, Gloxinia didn't see anything odd going on, but there was something on his mind. This fairy, he's never seen before, didn't seem like they were much of a social person. He couldn't explain why, but they brought a sudden curiosity to him. "What's your name?" He asked, slowly levitating closer to the ground where they stood and sitting in the air with his wings fluttering behind him.

"(Y/N)." they spoke in a quiet voice.

"Well, I'm sure you already know who I am, Gloxinia, king of the fairies." He spoke, coming off with a light heartedness.

The fairy nodded their head, fiddling around with the edge of their clothes awkwardly before looking away, ".. well, I'm gonna go." They immediately turned to leave.

"How come?"

"I shouldn't be here."

Gloxinia seemed surprised by that answer, whatever did they mean? When he read their heart.. he read a sense of self guilt for being there.. All the fairies are welcomed in the forest. Before he could ask, he watched from behind, their wings made a quick and sudden flutter which made the buzzing sound similar to a bee. (Y/N)'s wings had a unique small shape, nothing he's seen before.. it was a little odd, their wings were much smaller than the average size. Often fairies, for their small size, had wings that were as large as them, this fairies wings didn't even stretch out to cover their back.

"That's a unique set of wings." He commented, pointing it out to them. They seemed to stop in their tracks, their back turned. They didn't answer at first; they didn't want to answer.

"..thanks."

"If it's fine to ask, what are you doing out here by yourself?" He levitated beside them, his arms crossed over his bare chest as he took a closer look at their face.

"..I'm walking through the forest..?" They seemed confused by his question.

"Why not just fly?"

(Y/N) seemed hurt by the question almost, looking down awkwardly as their wings made another buzzing sound of a bee for a slight moment. ".. I can't fly."

Gloxinia definitely wasn't expecting that for an answer, "what?"

"My wings are too weak to carry me no more than like three feet above the ground."

He thought about their words, pondering on it. "Is that why you're out here? By yourself?"

They were quiet, staring at the ground. "I'm an outcast compared to all those fairies. I mean, what's a fairy if they can't fly? They're just.." (Y/N) stopped their words, their hand, almost unconsciously, reached back as their fingers were touching the area where the wings sprout of their back.

Gloxinia thought about it for a moment, there didn't seem to be any sign of actual guilt or anger to signifying they were lying.. but when he read their hearts, there was sign of self hatred, insecurity and envy.. Actually, he felt a feeling of jealousy begin to grow as they stared at his own wings..

"how long have you been like this?"

"a few hundred years.. why?"

He didn't give a answer to your words, thinking for a moment. Although he couldn't help them with how they thought about the idea, but.. "why don't you join the other fairies and me? We're playing a few games."

He watched as their expression almost seemed surprised by the sudden invitation, "didn't you hear me..? I'm an outcast. I can't fly-"

"So?" He cut off their words, he had a almost disappointed look to how they were thinking but his expression still soft, tilting his head withal a little smile. "That doesn't stop you from joining in some fun." Their eyes lit up slowly, which made him smile. He watched as their eyes lit up slowly for a moment, which made him smile. It was like they suddenly got a spark of happiness, something they'd never expect.

(Y/N) didn't say anything, looking down at the ground almost pondering on what to do.

Gloxinia smiled faintly at the expression they made, that spark of happiness almost made him chuckle out loud. They seemed to be confused, and he couldn't blame them. He let them think in silence for a few seconds before speaking.

"do you think, I'll ever get the chance to feel like a real fairy?"

He laughed off their question for a moment, waving his hand in defense to show he didn't mean any offense as they looked surprised and almost offended by the way he responded.

"Well.. wings or not, you're still a fairy by blood which is enough in my book. Now, are you gonna take my hand to join me in a game of tag or I'm gonna have to drag you myself, little flower?" He spoke as he held his hand out in invitation to them again with a grin.

"so you gonna come with me or not?"

Ten Commandments Tablet, 300-800 CE !

A marble tablet inscribed with nine of the Ten Commandments, said to be the oldest intact version of its kind in stone, is set to go under the hammer next month in a single-lot sale at Sotheby’s in New York. 

According to the auction house, the Commandments were inscribed into the tablet in Paleo-Hebrew script in the Late Roman-Byzantine Era (c. 300–800 CE).

The slab was unearthed in 1913 during railway excavations near what was once known as Iamnia during the Roman-Byzantine period (the modern city of Yavneh in Israel and Jabneh to Palestinians, who were forced out following the 1948 Nakba).

The object was being used as a paving stone at the threshold of a local residence for 30 years before its significance was recognized, Sotheby’s said.

There are 20 lines of text incised into the tablet, but only nine of the Ten Commandments are featured as found in the Book of Exodus, with the omission of “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord in vain.”

The original site of the tablet was most likely destroyed between 400–600 CE during the Roman invasions, or by the Crusaders in the 11th century.

The tablet also includes an additional directive to conduct worship on the holy site of Mount Gerizim, sacred to the Samaritans.

White marble tablet, approximately 24 ⅞ x 22 ⅛ x 2 ⅜ inches (632 x 562 x 62 mm), weighing approximately 115 pounds (52 kg), neatly chisel-inscribed with the Mosaic Ten Commandments in their Israelite Samaritan version, 20 lines in a Paleo-Hebrew script, each line containing between eleven and fifteen characters, with margins of about 10 cm on either side; the letters have a width of between one and 2 cm and words are separated from one another with one or two dots; a few letters are confused for each other (especially ה and א) and a few characters on the right side of the first two lines are effaced and re-inscribed.

Does not loving G-d, or at least being apathetic, go against the basics of Judaism (ten commandments)? I'm not saying hate, btw, don't get confused.

Captain Beefheart’s 10 Commandments of Guitar Playing

God Writes for Moses on Mount Sinai the Ten Commandments on Two Stone Tablets

Artist: Joseph von Fuhrich (Austrian, 1800-1876)

Date: 1835

Medium: Oil painting

Exodus 31:18 (NIV)

"When the LORD finished speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him the two tablets of the covenant law, the tablets of stone inscribed by the finger of God."

What is the Law of Moses?

Generally speaking, the Law of Moses is the first five books of the Bible, or the Torah (Hebrew for “law”), also called the Pentateuch (Greek for “five books”). More strictly speaking, the Law of Moses refers only to the 600-plus commandments and regulations in the second through fifth books of the Torah. We often refer to the commandments as “the Law of Moses”; of course, they are actually the Law of God. Moses was the one through whom God gave Israel the law.

The foundation of the Law of Moses is the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:2–17), as dictated to Moses by God Himself on Mt. Sinai (Exodus 31:18). Yet the “greatest commandment” from the Law of Moses, as Jesus declared, is Deuteronomy 6:5, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.” Jesus said the second greatest commandment was like the first; it is found in Leviticus 19:18, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” These two are the greatest because “all the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments” (Matthew 22:37–40; see also Galatians 5:14 and James 2:8).

The Bible’s first use of the phrase Law of Moses appears after the death of Moses. Joshua, who was with Moses throughout Israel’s forty years in the desert, had just led the nation of Israel into the Promised Land. In obedience to one of Moses’ final commands, he had the Law of Moses written on plastered stones (Deuteronomy 27:4–8) and read in its entirety to all the people, both Israelite and alien (Deuteronomy 31:9–13). Bible scholars differ on how much of the law was inscribed and read by Joshua, but most agree it was not every word of all five books of the Torah. Still, a great deal could be written easily enough on plastered stone, as shown by the use of similar techniques in ancient Egyptian temples and tombs.

You know how Louisiana now requires classrooms to have the 10 commandments on display?

Its kind of ironic that the people that approved of it have broken every single one.

Cusack x reader

On your mission to scout out the 7 sins you where caught by escanor and sadly it didn't end well.you limped away from the fight badly injured and you felt disgraced you where bloody and ashamed. After all your teaching and training with casack sadly it couldn't even have perpaired you slightly for what your encounter with escanor.

You felt as if all your training had been a waiste and cusack would be very disappointed in you. You shouldn't have even been caught in the first place it was a simple mission of checking out and updating on there current location. You where stupid and reckless and now it had almost been the reason for your injuries. You limped jn the forest floor unable to use your wings as they hand been hit and been burned unabling you to fly back so your resorted to walking.

You felt humiliated how could you show your face now.oh how upset wander disappointed cusack must feel in you when he finds out. Maybe I shouldn't even return. You thought as a mix of blood and tears dripped down your face.All cusacks efforts into training you and you failed already.

Flash back (because we love those)

HUA I strike down and the empty space on the ground."come on y/n is that all you got!" Cusack yell from behind me. I spun back around swinging my sword at him but he swiftly dodges and takes and jab at my back and I fall to the floor. "It's like your not trying what did I tell you.to never let down you guard" I sigh and stand to my feet "I know I know its not my fault your so fast""and that's the point you cannot control how fast your opponent is there for you must be ready for anything" I sigh and look up at him "but what if I am not ready what if I never am" he grabs my chin in his one and and raises it upwards to stair up at him as he leans down"you will be ready" he lets go of my chin and walks to the opposite side of the garden "now again!"

End of flash back

You sniffled as you trudged throught the forest.when suddenly a pair of wings flapped and landed right behind. With out thinking rembering everything you trained you swung around with your sword aimed. You weren't going to let all your training be for nothing and be killed by some low life demon who thinks your easy killings."y/n what happend to you"it was cusack he swiftly grasped your sword with one hand and blocked it causing it to clatter to the floor and he braced your face over looking you.

"I am sorry" I say as tears spill from my eyes "I failed you,I couldn't even do one job before I got caught" I cried as his hands wiped away my tears. "Oh y/n your hurt come here" I wiped away the tears as he turned over my arms looking me over "I shouldn't have let you got out I knew something was wrong I sense it almost emidently. Who did this to you?". He said as he smudge some of my blood onto his fingers. "Escanor"i told him as his eyes widened he was furious.The called down and sighed before evicting me up without warning and flying off. I cling to him out of fear "I am not going to drop you y/n.i would never drop you"

When we got back we prepared me a bath to help wash the blood from my body. I felt shy and never made eye contacted as he admired and washed my hair untangling the knotts and scrubbing my skins clean. He used magic to heals up my wounds before dressing them to avoid more injuries and left me to dress. I sat at the table silent and shamed of my failures to my teacher as he purred me some tear and sat opposite of me."there is nothing to be ashamed of y/n you tried and I am surprised you made it out alive and for that I am great full I am sorry for not being there" but....I let you down all your teaching-"that doesn't matter" he said firmly as he placed his hand over mine that rested apon the table"you are safe and I shall never let you go again I am just happy you came back to me"
