#God's not dead

[chelledoggo]

i don't think there's a single Christian outside of the evangelical right-wing sphere that unironically enjoys the God's Not Dead movies.

heck, i don't even think most of the evangelicals actually like them. i think they just pretend to in order to look good in front of their fellow fundies and pay lip service to the warped version of God they believe in.

even with the mean-spirited victim complex put aside these movies are just corny and bad lmao.

The inherent subjectivity of "anime-inspired" is doing a lot of legwork here.

Then again, maybe that's a challenge. If you could make a legitimate argument for these being anime-inspired (specifically the bottom row because, living fuck, what is a four-disc set of the whole God's Not Dead saga doing there?) I'd be really impressed.

I won't lie I've gotten into debates with people over misconceptions of the bible and often I am told "well you must be part of "God's" chosen people, and only they can understand the bible." And that's not verbatim but pretty much what they like to say at me and recently something popped I to my head regarding this.

Matthew 11:15

"Whosoever has ears, let them hear."

I don't pretend to understand even a fraction of what the bible means. Sometimes it's hard to sit through (lookin at you the numbers and the later half of genesis haha). But there are verses and things that stick out and understanding rains down like a warm hug upon my head. And that's awesome it's like a lil light bulb moment.

And with that said let me explain what was revealed to me.

"Whosoever has ears, let them hear."

Yes, let them hear the word of the Lord, but it also means let all those who are willing and wanting to not only listen but to understand.

James 1:5-8 "5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways."

Meaning if you don't look in faith and don't look for God and look only for youurself you will find nothing but words that aggravate you. You will see a cage and a rule book you don't want to abide by. You will get the world and lose your life. James 4:4 "Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God." And with out God we are dead. John 15:5 "5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing." And further in Ephesians 2:1-10: "1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."

Without God sending Jesus down we would be dead in a grave and doomed to eternity in hell. So if we look for the Lord in faith, we will find him.

Jeremiah 29:13

"13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."

I just randomly thought of this and thought it would be funny.

Every "God's Not Dead" movie ever

humble Christian protagonist: [enters a big scary secular environment] mean scary atheist antagonist: "i am forcing everyone here to denounce God or they will be punished" protagonist: "erm no i'm a Christian" antagonist: "you fool. you fucking cretin. prove God is real or i will punish you." concerned friend/family/partner: "nooo don't argue with them it's not worth it!!" protagonist: "i MUST... God is calling me to!" [meanwhile we get a bunch of b-plots featuring people who are going through very difficult times and wondering if they should find Jesus but their family/peers disapprove] protagonist: "i have prayed and prepared and now i am giving this big epic speech that proves without a shadow of a doubt that God is real and my religious affiliation is the only correct one." antagonist: "NO." protagonist: "yes." antagonist: [crumbles into dust] b-plot characters: "thanks to you, protagonist, we're all Christians now!" [everyone claps] the newsboys: "LET'S ROCK" [they play "God's Not Dead" before the credits roll]

all queer discourse could be stopped if we all just remembered that in the eyes of conservative fascists we're all dirty queers polluting their kids minds who need to be eradicated at all costs
