John 15:12 (KJV) - This is My commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

Happy Easter

For those who believe, will you follow:

36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

------ Or ------

9 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is Abel your brother?” He said, “I do not know; am I my brother's keeper?”

You don't have to be a Christian to care. But if you DO HAVE TO CARE if you ARE a Christian!

"You shall not take the name of the L-RD your G-d in vain, for the L-RD will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain." - Exodus 20:7

This verse is not talking about profanity or discouraging people from saying things like "Oh my G-d" or "G-ddammit" as Christians like to assume. As a matter of fact, it's quite further from that. This verse speaks of the consequences of using G-d as an excuse to commit horrid acts unto another individual for selfish gain. For example, if a murderer is brought to trial and says, "G-d told/willed me to kill them! It's G-d's will! And because of it I will be rewarded as His servant!" They are breaking this commandment. In the end, it is their haughtiness that will kill them; how they portray G-d will eat them up and haunt them forever.

You tell me, why on earth would the G-d of life and comfort will death and suffering? Unless, you admit G-d is a cruel deceiver. In that case, why demand peace and honesty from someone who deceives and is so cruel? You cannot demand chickpeas from thistles - it just goes against nature itself.

I've noticed people bringing up this verse, so you tell me who is guilty of breaking it these days:

The party who knows very well not to kill in His name and never parades about death, OR those who think they need to kill in the name of their god and parades death.

You decide.

Also please send me advice and ideas on how to be more corrupted, my mind more broken and turned into a better fuckdoll. <3

Amazingly Trustworthy

A consistent God faithfulness helps us become trustworthy. Just A Thought on how amazingly trustworthy our God is and how we can become more like Him. Enjoy!

Do pray for us, that the Word of the Lord may speed on (spread rapidly and run its course) and be glorified (extolled) and triumph, even as [it has done] with you, And that we may be delivered from perverse (improper, unrighteous) and wicked (actively malicious) men, for not everybody has faith and is held by it. Yet the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen [you] and set you on a firm…

The phrase “bear your cross worthily” is a call to Christians to meet life's difficulties with grace, fortitude and courage, realizing that in this way they follow the path that the son of God Jesus Christ walked in his life. This is a reminder of the need to maintain your loyalty, hope and love even in the most difficult times.

That makes a lot more sense. How many evangelicals and politicians have done that?

Parents think it's a sin for their children to disobey them. Parents think it's okay to assault their children in order to instill the fear of God in them.

Those parents are prime examples of using the lord's name in vain. But they don't want their children to know that. So they instead invent some bullshit definition.

Exodus 20:18–21 — Reverence, Fear, and the Need for a Mediator

😊 Let’s walk through Exodus 20:18–21 This section is incredibly meaningful—it shows how God’s holiness affected the people and how Moses’ role as mediator was affirmed. 📖 Exodus 20:18–21 — The People Tremble at God’s Presence ⚡ Verse 18 — “They trembled and stood afar off” 18 Now all the people witnessed the thunderings, the lightning flashes, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain…
