I am curious, what do you mean by you respect and love homosexual people? I don’t ask this to spark an argument, I just like having my definitions straight
Well, I have friends and family members who identify as homosexual. Does that mean I have to hate them because of that? Of course not. They're still human beings. They're my friends, my family, part of my blood. Do I support their movement? And their beliefs based on that homosexual topic? No. I used to be part of the community Lgbt as well before. My mother, she wasn't pleased with me being bi, did she disowned me because of my sexuality? Absolutely not. She still loved me anyways, she still let me stayed at her house; & I'm still here. Tho' i ain't part of the community anymore. Close family members despited gay people and yet, they didn't said anything hurtful towards me. EVEN THO' they didn't agreed with my 'beliefs'. Jesus set me free and I no longer like people of my same sex. I only like men now. Some people can't believe that. How's that even possible? There's power in the name of Jesus Christ. Nothings impossible for God almighty if you truly trust & believe in him. I don't remember Jesus hating someone because of their sexuality, or any other type of sin. If anything, I believe he'd lecture them, explaining why that is consider a sin and wrong. He loves everyone in general. My Christian family members still loved me and supported me even when I was in my dark & lost moments. They all prayed for me. That's true love right there. 🫶🏼
John 20:31 (NLT) -
But these are written so that you may continue to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing in Him you will have life by the power of His name.
howdo I start this ok mao is kind of like one of those people who as a kid is seen as more mature. Due to neglect from parents who think their child is mature and does not nessacarily need support or praise because he can handle himself
when mao was a kid he didn't like to lose (something that can be seen as childish) but he didn't like to win either so he wouldn't hurt anyone (I Don't think a lot of kids think about aftermath feelings when it's just a game) so he was okay with placing 2nd/3rd if mao doesn't hurt people and doesn't cause a conflict then he can be liked and more approachable and possibly even be praised
I Don't think maos care and love for taking caring of others and handling things on his own is entirely based off of his want and enjoyment of praise but it definitely plays somewhat of a part in it; he just generally loves people. he's willing to push aside his own feelings for them
I think the real question though is does mao love himself?
Fast forward to first year mao and this guy is well Still acting mature but the thing is that he meets trickstar which compared to him seems more childish but that is exactly what mao needs. To be childish
trickstar allows mao to be childish and have a dream. mao is growing up yes and growing up is seen as becoming more mature but for mao to grow up he needs to become more childish. To have and chase after a dream and be more selfish and break away from being kind of empty from what maturity has given him is what being in trickstar gives to mao
mao is already warm to others but trickstar gave him the fuel to be warm to himself
to be warm to yourself isn't really something you can perfectly accomplish over night it's moreso about growing to take yourself into account too A person who gives constantly is someone who also needs to give just as much to themselves. you have to burn to be warm and you have to learn how to control that fire over time. build a row of campfires mao and come back to me when you're done
“Speak the Name Jesus! His Name stands for something!
His Name stands for the Promises of God!
“For in Christ, the fullness of God lives in a human body.”
“And all the promises of God are answered YES in Christ Jesus.” (Col. 2:9, 2 Cor 1:20)
Then know that the promises of God are yours, in the Name of Jesus.
Look to Jesus. Speak the NAME, and you will find the healing needed for those things that upset you, discourage you, and distress you. For His Name is above every name.
When you feel totally lost, just speak the Name of JESUS!
currently reading: His Dark Materials Book Two: The Subtle Knife by Philip Pullman
quote: “…cruelties and horrors all committed in the name of the Authority, all designed to destroy the joys and the truthfulness of life.”
current thoughts: this author is known to be “church hating” and it comes out in their writing very clearly. but they make a very valid point: “The Church” uses Gods name in to validate cruelty and hatred and violence and abuse. “It’s Gods will!” What? It’s Gods will to cast out, abuse and hate people who are any different. Its Gods will to burn women at the stakes because they were different or helpful even. It’s Gods will to keep slaves. Its Gods will to colonise First Nations peoples land. It’s Gods will to go to war. It’s Gods will to strip people of their identity and soul just because they don’t love conventionally. GODS WILL TO TAKE THE LIVES OF INNOCENT PALESTINIANS BECAUSE THAT LAND BELONGS TO ISRAEL AND THEY ARE GODS PEOPLE. it’s Gods will to inflict suffering and pain and cruelty on the people of the world. Do you see how insane that sounds? The same excuse. “We can do it because it’s in the name of Jesus.” What about that says Jesus? The man who walked among sinners because he loved them? The man who healed. The man who SACRIFICED HIS LIFE SO WE COULD HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM! What about all these cruelties has God written on them? NOTHING! So stop using a kind and just God as an excuse to do horrible things!
// wild that miranda flowers have endured since the time of the crucible, and that they've flourished ever since from a combination of cultivation by isolated perfumer cults to harvest their potent pollen and from the sheer amount of the dead courtesy of the shattering.
as consumnate carnivores, they primarily consume meat, and of course that includes people. while capable of restraining prey with their mobile roots (the small ones that is, which are capable of moving across the ground unlike the fully grown specimens--) they most often rely on the toxic compound within their pollen to incapacitate prey or simply scavenge from the deceased. when prey is plentiful, sprouts will fully take root and begin the process of becoming full blooms.
