A Fun Halloween experiment

Word count: 1.7k 

Warnings: Jealousy, Light Angst, Major Ship: Chamber x f!reader x Yoru, Minor: Harbor x f!reader, Polyamory at the end, suggestive things, lmk if i missed something "C'mon Y/N, it'll be fun~" Harbor drawls, his toned body overshadowing you. You scoffed, clearly not having it "What's in for me?" The latter let out a hearty laugh, his boisterous voice filling the halls. "The results!" He says with a smirk, you were nonetheless puzzled but intrigued. Playing along, you agreed.

Lately- your best friends Chamber and Yoru, have been let's say busy. You three used to be thicker than thieves, though ever since they started dating you backed off. You didn't want to ruin their relationship and what you had left with them, so you started avoiding the two. But the real thing was- you loved both of them. Ever since you’ve been friends with them, you’ve been harboring feelings for them. Harbor, only being with the protocol for a few weeks noticed this; he asked other agents how your situation was with them and wanted to turn the tides for you.

"Now this will help us check if they really desire or well- Care for you." Harbor begins, "This fun little experiment begins when the Protocol's Halloween Party begins." Your interest peaked even more, "OK... Continue." The man smiles, "We can go as matching costumes and flaunt it to them, perhaps we can get a reaction out of them. If we get none, then the experiment failed." You frowned, 'What if nothing happens? Does this mean I’m not important enough for them to notice?' This caused you to overthink more, though it was cut off by the Indian man; "Hey don't worry about it sweetheart, something tells me the results will be great!" You weakly smile, "Let's just hope so."

Days passed and the day of the party came, you ran through the bustling halls going towards Harbor's room. His room was the farthest out of all the agents since he got the oldest room, you were practically out of breath when you got to your destination. "Oi! Y/n." You froze, you could recognize that heavy Japanese accent anywhere; "Yoru...?" You’ve never spun your head around so fast, there stood Yoru, sporting his usual outfit but with a bunny headband. Behind him there was Chamber wearing a priest costume with blood spattered all over it, he held a Crucifix and a Bible. "Oh mon Cheri, what brings you here?" You straightened up, fixing your composure. " Well- I'm here for Harbor," You swear their faces contorted to a dismayed expression, "Ah, Y/n! Just the  person I wanted to see." A fourth voice joined the conversation, you could feel the tension rising. "Here's your clothes from a few days ago, I must apologize for my carelessness last time." The water-bender handed you two sets of clothes, " I'm assuming the other set is my part of the matching costume?" Harbor chuckles, "Yup, I'll pick you up at 8 pm later tonight?" You nod, "Well then I'll be off then, see you!" You ran faster than you thought you could, the tension there was so suffocating. 'Why did Harbor have to make it seem we slept together??!!' You grumbled, 'Is this a part of his antics??!' Unbeknownst to you, back in the hallway at Harbor's room, there was a situation. As soon as you left, the two men's eyes darted back to the latter. "What did you do with her?!" Yoru barked angrily, Chamber had a condescending look on his face; trying to keep his composure but failing. Harbor raised his hands up, head hanging low "You just saw what happened, no? I gave back her clothes and a Halloween costume~" He said with a teasing tone, the rift walker wasn't having it. Grabbing Harbor's collar, he pushed him against the wall, "If you do anything weird to her and she doesn't like it, it's on-site the next time I see you." The water-bender wasn't fazed at all, "You know, for a man with such a small stature, you really know how to cause a rise huh?"

Arriving at your room, you opened the bag to be greeted by a neatly folded bright red hood with a cape. Underneath it was a white frilly spaghetti dress adorned with red lines around it, accompanied by a basket filled with toy fruits. When you brought out the basket from the bag a yellow sticky note fell out, "Get ready, we're gonna cause a stir in this party ;)" You scoffed, "You really outdid yourself huh, Harbor?"

The clock struck eight, and at that moment you heard a knock at your door. You got up, walked to the door, and opened it. Swinging it open, it revealed Harbor; with a red and white checkered shirt with some overalls, he didn't button it up fully. Showing his big tiddies, he wore fake paws with claws. His hair which was usually in a bun, was down and disheveled. "Ya ready? Lil' Red Ridding hood?" He gave a toothy grin, showing the fake canine teeth he wore. "Let's go Mr. Big bad wolf."

You two walked towards the living room where the party was held, "Ayyyyy, I'm so glad you guys could make it!" Jett's voice rang through your ears. "Couldn't miss it, babe." You reply jokingly, you wrapped your hands around her. Pulling away, Jett gasps "Oh no! There's a big bad wolf on the loose!" Harbor growls at the duelist, and you all burst out laughing. "Alright let's have some fun!" Jett runs back into the party, "How does she have that much energy?" You sigh, pulling up your hood; The man pats your head," Dont mind her, let's just have some fun!"

The party was fun, mainly because Harbor helped you get out of your comfort zone and made you participate in more games. By the end of the party, you were drunk and high on candy. You were a giggling mess, joking and flirting loudly with Harbor.

As drunk as you were, you weren't dumb. You could tell your dear friends were fuming. Their eyes drilling holes into you and if looks could kill; Harbor would be a dead man. It was almost your turn for the costume contest, uping your ante; you pulled Harbor closer by one of his overalls. The man yelps in surprise his face was so surprised, the proximity between your faces so close. You smirked, “What? I thought ya wanted to cause a stir?” Your slurred words are so hard to understand but at the same time so clear. “ ‘Kay you asked for it~” he hums, When it was your turn to walk on the runway, Harbor lifted you up like it was nothing, carrying you bridal style; he walked to the end of the runway. Suddenly, he pulled off your hood and brought his head closer to your neck; baring his teeth, whilst staring into Chamber and Yoru’s eyes.

Cheers erupted from the crowd, clapping and screaming filling your ears. Harbor carefully placed you down, leaving you there; like a deer in headlights. Blush creeping all over your face, “I daresay, your face is as red as your cape Y/n!” Phoenix comments, “I think we know the winners of this contest~” Raze shouts, as she brings over the prizes. You and Harbor wave and thank everyone for the applause. In the corner of your eyes, you can see the couple plotting something. It’s dead silent in the quarters, you stumbled back to your room after getting a glass of water; when you were abruptly pulled inside a dark room. Yelping, you kicked and screamed but the person wouldn’t budge. “Relax, mon belle- It’s just us .” You froze, oh. Them…  You slowly wiggled out of Chamber’s grasp, the lights suddenly turned on. You hiss softly, not ready for the sudden change of lighting. You see your old friends standing in front of you, getting nervous you look down and start fiddling with your hands. Soft footsteps approach you, Yoru cups your face ever so gently. “What’s wrong N/n? Why’re you ignoring us?” Ahhh… You melt at the nickname, your face so bashful. “I’m just-” You pause, scared of the outcome if you tell the truth.  You look up, seeing Yoru and Chamber’s worried faces. It made you crack, “E-ever since you guys started dating, I didn’t want to ruin anything for you so I-i thought it would be best if I left… But also because I liked you two- I couldn’t bare to be with people who I like and were dating ” You were sobbing at this point, your explanation barely comprehensible. You felt Chamber wipe away a stray tear, you opened your eyes to see a soft smile on his face. “Mon Amour, you never ruin anything,” He tenderly continues to wipe your tears away, “But-” Yoru interjected, “ The truth is we like you too. The both of us.” You look back up, eyes glimmering with hope. “We’ve always thought of asking you out as well, we were just worried that you wouldn’t like us back- Now that we know…” Your dear rift walker pulled you in a tight hug, followed by the gunsmith hugging you behind. “Why don’t you join us Y/n? We like you very much~” You were shocked so much by this- You couldn’t contain your happiness and excitement. “Yes! I would like that very much.” You relished this feeling greatly, hoping time would move slower.

“Ah, but then again N/n. You did hurt our feelings…” Chamber sighs sadly as he pulls away from the hug, you turn to face him. He tilts your chin with his middle and index finger, his eyes screaming with lust. “Just how do you plan on making up to us huh?” Yoru rasps against your ear, his breath hot. He pulls your ass closer to his big bulge, forcing you to grind against it.

You were in big trouble. Big time… Experiment Sucess! 

Author’s Note - Hey yall… I wrote this in the car ride going home👩‍🦰 and this might be shit, but I’ve been fantasizing abt this so yeah... I NEED A SMUT VERSION OF THIS CAUSE I CAN'T WRITE SMUT FOR SHIT👺👺👺

[cristellove4321]

Thought to share this little au I have.uwu, i have alot more au's, especially of star palace and welcome to dreamworld, but this one, well-

okie so this au is called the morning star palace au, or MSPC for short, I made this au cuz-, well-, one, I REALLY don't like how modern bad churchs (like the ones in stories and such) are always have to be positive activity and perfect, thus no sins and hense no flaws some how, two, this fandom, me and fry especially, N E E D S I T cuz ACK- :>, and three, churchs just looks hot.:>, so here's what i did-

I was raised to be Christian, so while I'm not completely Christian I still have knowledge from what I learned when growing up, graduated in a church from after my first year of first grade to the last year of high school, from a lil tradition during Halloween and easter my family and other familys do in Alabama.(yes I am from Alabama.:>), and from video games that involves churches somehow.:>

So, for mirage and ery actually references a roleplay i had with a friend, where ery is kept in a glass casket by mirage so that anyone meeting her won't break her.(in this au shes a porsaline puppet.), for them, mirage is the bible reader.(aka the person/robot that reminds others of what the bible says like as if it was a story.), their also still a story teller, but they read church story's you'll normally find in the library sometimes.(needless to say they like that more and the most is they'll do is give "or yeet" a bible at zavy to get to it.uwu)

for zavy, hes the priest hes-, pratically himself.(frazzybear im looking at you-), and well, we heard basically it all by now, the priest performs the Sacraments Eucharist, Reconciliation, Baptism, Funerals, Marriages, Sacrament of the Sick and spreads/proclaim the word of god, I believe the most he would like to do was to help or physically be near someone as much as possible due to his original coding, so for the "Sacrament of the Sick" may be his favorite, cuz it takes the priest to put a lil oil on the sick/ill, in order to fight off whatever sickness they may have (idk me either-) and take care of them, hense he'll be there for a person 24/7 until their better.

for fairy floss is a nun of the church, besides cricket and doc, she's the only nun there, like them she does the same thing, spend an hour and a half daily in mental prayer, do spiritual reading for at least a half hour a day, observe silence except during Recreation which is after dinner and supper and engage in a variety of work maintenance of the monastery, gardening, correspondence, art work, computer projects, kitchen and sacristy work, needlework, and crafts.(im literally looking the rest of the details up at this damn point.:>), She does all that, but except the part where it means "lights out" aka sleep, she charges like zavy and mirage, but the three of them gets up when zavy gets up due to the one being the fastest to charge, they begin being themselves when its night time, due to it being the only time they can be themselves without being yelled at (mainly by doc like in the og star palace story/audio book), these three and every other character has at least one sin from the 7 deadly and more well known ones.(hence why it's called "Morning star" palace church au, cuz that star is indeed part of the sign of jesus's birth and hense the birth of Christmas, Hanukkah and so forth.(the robots, like their language translations, their programed to learn every religion in the world but mainly the USA so it won't overload them), but the morning star is also by a sword that was made in heaven but was sent down to hell with a certaint someone took.(if you called Lucifer than your right as hell.>:3), and before anyone else asks, yes their sexualities are the same as their original counterparts.:3

this is an ask blog so you can ask the characters questions and I'll try to answer in character as best as my dumbass can, either on bid post here or on the ask questions button everyone has on here.uwu

Hope everyone has a good day and a summer!!! ^^

halloween - What is something you like that others around you don't like?

forest walks - What do you do to take your mind off things?

oak - What is the wisest thing someone has said to you over the last year?

Ack, got distracted (I was doing these while babysitting) and neglected to answer this!

halloween - What is something you like that others around you don't like?

I'm gonna say my statistics class. I think the majority of students are neutral about it, with only one particularly negative voice in the mix. However, it seems the majority are aiming to get into more qualitative work and are generally skeptical of quantitative, and they definitely almost all hate the code aspects and working in R, whereas I feel like I've finally found my point of thriving in this program.

forest walks - What do you do to take your mind off things?

Going for a walk can be helpful sometimes, although that's generally better for giving myself space to process stuff. If I need distraction, TV or Tumblr is where it's at.

oak - What is the wisest thing someone has said to you over the last year?

Bible study bestie has dropped lots of real wisdom bombs in the past year, though I'd be hard pressed to remember specifics. Also plenty of hard-hitting sermons, but alas, memory is failing me. So I'm going to go with something one of my bosses said the other day when she met with me to go over the plan for me covering one of her studies while she's out on maternity leave. She gave me her number to contact her if something came up that I couldn't answer, and I guess I looked uncomfortable with that, so she added, "Listen, this is only going to work if you trust that I'll say no if I can't do it. I already trust that you'll only ask if you really need it, and I have no problem saying it has to wait or I'm just not up for it." Basically she ended up reinforcing that work/life balance only works when you enforce your own boundaries, and you can't go around trying to predict other people's boundaries for them, and it solidified something I've been considering a lot in recent years about how my yes only means anything if my no does, too. It's something my mom has remarked upon multiple times lately, too, that she doesn't worry about suggesting things with me because she knows I'll be honest in my responses and say no when that's what I'm actually thinking. And, hey, I just think there's something to be said about how being clear about your own boundaries and opinions actually makes other people feel safer and more comfortable with you, because they don't have to guess at what you mean.

I saw your tag about asking about Air Bud, I vaguely know the plot but have never seen it so here's an ask for you to info dump about it

Did you know that there are 14 movies in the Air Bud Cinematic Universe? I've watched them all and I'm gonna spout off a bunch of random stuff about the series. If you want more info on any of this you have to DM me 🤪

So the first five movies are the "Air Bud" series, which follows Buddy playing various sports

Air Bud 🏀

Air Bud: Golden Receiver 🏈

Air Bud: World Pup ⚽

Air Bud: Seventh Inning Fetch ⚾

Air Bud: Spikes Back 🏐

Interestingly, Buddy was an actual trained dog who could "play" a few sports. In fact, the first two films don't use any sort of sneaky camera tricks for the sports scenes. The dogs on camera are actually just doing that. Although the original Buddy only appears in the first film (He passed away from cancer shortly afterwards)

The production company also kinda screwed over Buddy's owner Kevin DiCicco, who wasn't involved in any of the sequels aside from being credited as the creator of the character Air Bud.

One thing I will say about the original series is that personally I think the justification for Buddy playing on the team in the first movie makes more sense than we give it credit for. He's a registered member of the team because he's the mascot. So they sub him in. You could almost be fooled into thinking that's reasonable.

If you ever have a "bad movie" day with friends I highly recommend the 4th movie where he plays baseball. Because it has the best villain plot of any of them, where the villain is trying to extract Buddy's genome to isolate the gene that makes him good at sports so he can sell it to athletes as a super steroid. Also the actor who plays the villain is the same actor who plays the referee in the previous three movies which adds a fun sinister undertone to their re-use of an actor.

After the "Air Bud" series they started making the "Air Buddies" movies

Air Buddies

Snow Buddies

Space Buddies

Santa Buddies¹

Spooky Buddies

Treasure Buddies

Super Buddies

This is where we get into the weirder aspects of the universe. First of all we are now following Buddy's children instead of Buddy himself. Buddy the character is seen for the last time in Snow Buddies. Also we're now doing talking animals. (Although the animals can't talk to humans (except with the use of christmas magic))

Things that are made canon in these films include (but are not limited to):

Hell 🔥 - Although they call it a dimension filled with ghosts. From which a warlock summons the "Halloween Hound", a pretty obvious stand in for a hell hound. (Also for some reason the warlock can't touch consecrated ground and also is hurt by a bible, so I guess becoming a warlock means you have to follow vampire rules now)

Magic 🧙‍♂️ - As mentioned above, there's a warlock doing dark magic. But there's also two additional magic systems. Christmas magic, which requires joy stored in the magical christmas icicle. And what I can only describe as "Egyptian magic". Cleopatra's pet cat (Cleo-cat-ra) had a magic necklace, although the only notable power we see it have is to make cats "man's best friend" instead of dogs

Aliens 👽 - An alien crashed down on earth and the first creature he met was a dog so he tried to disguise himself as an earthling by turning into a dog and then he had to be a dog now. But he's a dog with super powers because of course he is. Also a second eviler species of alien that does body snatching instead.

Honestly these movies are pretty standard straight to video schlock. I think Super Buddies is the most fun out of them all, just for being kind of stupid. Space Buddies is pretty good for the same reason. Treasure Buddies was the most boring movie in my entire adventure through all of these.

Simultaneous to the latter Buddies movies, Santa Buddies also managed to spin off into two additional "Santa Paws" movies

The Search for Santa Paws

Santa Paws 2: The Santa Pups

I honestly think these are some of the more watchable of the later movies. You know what you're getting with a cheesy christmas movie. (I've never actually celebrated christmas but I have a slight soft spot for the aesthetics of a cheesy christmas movie)

Notable in this series we get shown more about what "Christmas Magic" can do. Including creating sentient life? Like Santa just straight up brings a toy dog to life? And because we're in a talking animals universe that's just a full on sapient intelligence. I'm pretty sure that makes Santa some form of god.

¹ Santa Buddies also raises a possible extended extended universe. Among the characters in Santa Buddies is a Scottish Terrier named "Tiny" voiced by Kaitlyn Maher. Another film series by the production company "Pup Stars" also features a Scottish Terrier named "Tiny" voiced by Kaitlyn Maher.

Top 10 Character Essence

It's tag game time again!

@tabswrites and @hollyannewrites challenged (and I do mean challenged) me to name my top ten characters "decided by their essence or meaning to you."

  A challenge to give your Top 10 favourite characters, based on their ESSENCE. They have to be favourite characters that also have a deeper literary value, where you enjoy their specific role in the story, and this means that the list also should exclude characters that would normally count as favourites if for purely nostalgic reasons. They can be from film, tv, or written media, anything.

Thank you! I hope I fulfilled the challenge the way it was meant to be fulfilled!

Although TBH, I can't believe I'm even attempting to tackle this. I have to choose only 10? I think it goes without saying this list is not exhaustive, nor does it represent all of my favorite books/movies/media. I really did try to capture the question by focusing on "essence and meaning" (including how they've influenced my own writing and not just "random characters I like." I also have to attempt not to write an essay for each because we don't want to be here all night.

Charlotte Doyle (The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by Avi) Rich girl in the early 1800s gets on a ship with a mutinous crew and an evil captain, joins the crew, defeats the captain using only her wits, miraculously makes it home, AND THEN DECIDES TO GO BACK TO SEA AND BECOME A SAILOR. I read this all in one sitting one night when I was about 15 (after avoiding it because I thought it looked boring) and then literally decided to reshape my entire life based on it (I'm not kidding). Yes, I actually took up sailing. Also, there's a hot sailor that she obviously has chemistry with but it's left unresolved, and no one has ever written a future fic about it to my knowledge, and that's a CRIME. So yeah, step right up.

John Bender (The Breakfast Club) He's not just the original '80s bad boy with a Dark and Troubled Past, but what most people forget about him is that he's also hilarious. It's a rare combination. Honorary mention to his love interest, Claire, and not just because of her name.

Fantine (Les Miserables by Victor Hugo) - Mostly the book version of her, though she obviously has a showstopping number in the musical as well. She was the sad, angsty character I needed during the most sad, angsty period of my life. She was a poor, lonely urchin who found fleeting love and happiness in the spring, got abandoned and pregnant in the winter -- and it only got worse from there. Also, apropos of nothing, at one point, I wrote a short story featuring a dog by the same name -- who, um, died.

The Artful Dodger/Dodger (Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens/Oliver & Company) - I'm including both the human version and the dog version of this character because I love them both (though I actually prefer the Disney movie, lol). They're both thieves with devil-may-care attitudes, with soft spots for those more vulnerable than themselves. Plus, the dog version is Billy Joel, wears sunglasses, and plays piano with his tail, which -- I don't care what anyone says -- will never not be cool.

Satine (Moulin Rouge) - She was the beautiful, sparkling, singing, dancing tragic sex goddess I so badly wanted to be. So much so that as recently as five years ago when I reluctantly dressed up for a Halloween party, I chose her silver-dress-and-top-hat ensemble.

Rick Blaine (Casablanca) The most endlessly quotable character from one of the most endlessly quotable and romantic movies of all time. He sticks his neck out for no one. Except, oops, wait, he does. The OG Hollywood antihero with a Dark and Troubled -- whatever, you know the drill. Plus, he's also my dad's favorite character in his favorite movie (and I discovered it because of him), and so this pick has sentimental meaning for me.

Leah Price (The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver) - When we read this book in high school, she was the least popular character, probably due to her unwavering love and support for her dad, even though he was a singular-focused religious zealot who destroyed his entire family by dragging them into the African jungle in an ill-thought-out missionary trip. And then she married a guy with some of the same qualities (but he was better, thankfully). But for whatever weird reason, I related to her most. Anyway, for class, I wrote and tried to perform a monologue where I played her but forgot 90 percent of my lines. Oh well.

Mary Lennox (The Secret Garden by France Hodgson Burnett, I found the movie version fairly meh) There were a lot of spunky, iconic childhood book heroines to choose from, but she was Mary, Mary Quite Contrary, and so I choose her. (I got told to "smile" a lot as a kid). Also, as I mentioned in a previous post, I was a Mary/Dickon shipper before I even knew what shipping meant.

Neal Caffrey (White Collar) - Does anyone remember this show? I have no attention span for TV, and this is probably the last scripted show I remember watching every episode of during its original run, which is saying something. Everything I know about being a con artist (in fiction, lol) I learned from this charming, charismatic art-forger-turned-FBI-consultant. I think he also has the honor of being the subject of the first actual fanfic I ever wrote.

Iris Chase Griffin (The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood) I also had to pick one character of my favorite author, so Iris gets the crown. She starts off the story as an old lady looking back to when she was forced to marry some rich asshole instead of the science fiction writer (with a past that was -- wait for it -- Dark and Troubled) who BOTH she and her sister loved, and meanwhile, her sister became a writer and when she died it was discovered that -- oh, just read the goddamn book, I won't spoil it for you here.

Honorable mentions, in no particular order:

Violet Westing (The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin)

Jack Kelly (Newsies the movie, NOT the stage musical)

Turonga Leela (Futurama)

Vicky Austin (The Austins by Madeleine L'Engle)

Jack Dawson and Rose Dewitt-Bukater (Titanic) I can't decide between them, so they're getting an HM.

Palaestrio and Milphidippa (Miles Gloriosus by Plautus) Same as above.

Michael Furey (The Dead by James Joyce) Who is, in fact, dead throughout the story -- but being alive wasn't one of the requirements.

I wish I could include a Star Wars character, but could never decide, so let's say, oh, all of them, except that one you hate.

In case the following people want to do what I did and spend several WEEKS on this fascinating but life-ruining (in a good way) tag game: @mysticstarlightduck @enne-uni @kixngiggles @obviousknife + OPEN TAG because you don't even have to be a writer for this one, so I'd be interested in hearing from anybody who wants to chime in!

He Has Teeth

Peter still wouldn’t say that “No Longer Human” made for a good pick as a Halloween read. He could understand why Nigel would sing the graphic novel’s praises as a spooky title; Ito’s art is indeed horrific. But it wasn’t the surreal, nightmarish artwork that was the terror. The artwork was merely a lure, a lure that lulled horror fans to let their guard down in the promise of a bone-chilling but still fun time.

          No, the true terror was Dazai’s mind.

            Dazai’s mind, curled in misery and darkness. Dazai’s heart, shut away from a world that chewed him up and spat him out. Dazai’s spirit, broken over and over. The true terror lied in knowing, in the deepest, blackest part of the self, that there was a twisted kinship with Dazai.

           “No Longer Human” can never be a reading pick for a holiday now associated with cutesy costumes, spooktacular extravagance, and glee commercialized in themed candy and copious amounts of face paint. The horror lied in making the reader want to swallow a bullet and hope to never wake.

         But Peter had neither gun nor bullets, so he picked up his pen.

This was a place that I called my second home Where no ghosts came to roam No floorboards creak Or the Boogeyman hides in closets like a sneak

No

The Monsters came as a mother with a gold cross And a red-leather family Bible that’s gold embossed Strong arms for that false sense of security And lullabies laced with 50-proof warm brandy

And a little boy, so beautiful you could weep Bambi-big brown eyes that made the heart leap You’d think you want to be with a boy so sweet Until he gave that smile with the million razor teeth

Then the home I’ve known became mirrored halls And smiling shadows standing along the bedroom walls Watching the Beast from Hell take feast From my tender flesh ‘til he got his release

All the warped faces laughing away Lips and hands taking from me all night and day Was this what it was to lie on your altar? Is love meant to be the one that is slaughtered? For all-seeing bleedings eyes take joy in your hurt And drop coins in your pouch to shove up your skirt? And the little lamb’s the coyote with the teeth Does love mean being the one that can’t breathe?

What’s funny was you were the angel in my eyes The ever-burning stars of my darkest, empty skies Til you tried to force it Biblical Now my skies stay falling ‘cause of the unthinkable

I bet you tasted the way I’m so devout When you put me in your black-leaking mouth And pinned me into your bed of piss and decay Caged me in your six wings, told me be not afraid

All these years later, you still poison my nights For someone so filthy, you turn my world white And you laughed it up, getting away with murder Shielded by your flaming-sword guard Drowning me in her homophobic fervor

I could’ve played it hard, too, with my own two-ton bite I’m a demi-god, goddamn it, I could’ve put up a fight! So why did I freeze? Because all I knew was lonely

And I’d suffer this endless hell To be someone’s good boy, to be his angel

--

He tried to set the pen down, but his hands shook violently, and setting it down meant the damn utensil clattering almost halfway across the table. He slouched back in his chair, taking deep, slow breaths, staring ahead of him to the empty recording booth before him, skin hot where the tears streaked down.

          The lyrics were unpolished, hastily scratched into his journal, and once the haze of his nightmare cleared and he could think clearly, Peter realized that they were going to remain so. He had no plans to record it, not like Dessa with her “The Lamb”, or Kesha with her “Prayer” or Billy Talent with his “Rusted From the Rain”; with another deep breath to steady himself and finally pull himself from the pit, Peter realized that all he needed was to get it out.

         “Peter?”

          There was a long pause in which footsteps crept closer to him. A familiar hand brushed along his back, assuring that Peter wouldn’t take flight from touch before settling on his shoulder. A familiar scent of cinnamon and mountain soap grounded him. “Are you alright, sweets?”

        Peter rubbed his face with his sleeve, nodding and clearing the gravel out of his throat. “Yeah. Yeah, I’m good,” he lied, knowing that he’ll have to work hard to make it true.

That gives us a window, assuming Mr. Johnson hasn't screwed us.” "Wait, Jotunsdotter. Are you related to a giant?” Janna shrugs. “Mom never really talked about dad much. Said he was slippery, silvertongued and tied up somewhere these days.” Shank nods: "Ah yes... those types often end up like that when they get into trouble they can't talk their way out of.” “This place is… unclean. I mean, it’s filthy, but it’s also unholy.” "Don't be silly, there are plenty of holes.” "Never split up in a spooky place that a religious person says is unholy!” "Ah, a wine cellar. Good vintage. Peanut of the Night.” From the pit, four large man sized mushrooms with long tendrils emerge. "I've read enough Tijagnoman Bibles to know where this is going!” Suddenly there is a gnome among you, in a long elven cloak clasped with the symbol of Poom, God of Suddenly Being There. Will: "Sorry I'm late: had to make sure the Truck wasn't following me.” You dodge the first tendril, but the other two grab your wrists. You slip out easily, but where the fungi touched you your skin bubbles and sloughs away. "Gah! I hate mushrooms so much.” "But they are tasty sautéed with wine.” The fungi are fun died. "Well done! That was unpleasant. What on the planes are they? and why are they here?” "Someone forgot to clean the basement for a decade or two?” "Time to head upstairs, no way I'm going to the Underdark: I've got enemies down there.” “And they have sexy spider ladies! I mean, regular spider ladies!” "I don’t see any journals, or strange discs. Or unmelted hands.” All these spirits are long since spoiled, or infected with fungi and mold. They might make serviceable vinegar, or give you a really bad trip before eating through your small intestine. The freezer opens with some effort. Its very dark and cold inside, several large sides of beef hang inside. The closest one is covered with what appears to be maggots. "That does not look like it is well-aged beef.” "We got a skitterer!” “This place has problems. We need a property flipper.” ”Rot grubs. Jeebus H Koala, this is no milk run.” “...This place is in dire need of an exterminator... or some arson.” "Yeah, let’s save the murderbasement for the return trip.” “Oh, hello, Mr. Squeekers!” "Probably stole some cheese from the larder.” “I think anything from this house's Larder more likely to eat the rat.” "Alright. This. Nobody said anything about running into this twisted nature and abominations. Did I miss a note that was passed around? Am I the only one out of the loop on this one?” "We're robbing a lich. What, you think this is Gravesoil parish with the chainsaw ponies?” “Those ponies are surprisingly polite.” "It'd take some omniphobic weirdo with too light a constitution for math to make that up.” "I found the door guys, let’s...Oh score that's a Pickman original.” "Is that a Owlplatypus?” "Okay, standard rules, grab anything that—the FUCK is that?” [insert Great Race of Yith picture] "Some kind of sea life, maybe?” “Fuck this shit with a dragon dildo. Let’s get the fuck out of this fucking fuck.” "It's like one of them mind-flayers banged a roper…" "Shank, you back in there?” “Yes. Now excuse me I need to stab a bitch in a glass case.” "Well, he's not smiling, so that's a maybe?” And as for you goblin. You should feel honored one of your kin was chosen to host one of the Great Race of Yith. “Wow. You are super racist. We don’t go for that kind of thing around here! Anymore!” I am not racist. All races are equally inferior to the Great Race. “Yes. That’s being racist!” "Yeah, but we weren't the ones with so much cotton stuffed up the ass that I expect you to cough up sheep.” "And Jeebus did say FORK YOU!” We have enemies.

"So we're all agreed? We get out, torch the place, and tell the Goonion we found it like that?” "Is it the Truck, man? Is the truck coming for us?” GM: No, Truck-Kun is on another job today. "Okay.

11/28/2022 DAB Chronological Transcription

Acts 18:19-19:41

Welcome to the Daily Audio bible Chronological, I'm China. Today is the 28th day of November. So great to be here with you guys today as we are coming to a close of the month of November. Whew, it is for rigid here in Tennessee. And right now, I mean, we only got Christmas left, so Thanksgiving is out. And I'm curious, are your Christmas decorations up yet? Ours have been up. I grew up with putting up our, so my birthday is like a couple of days after Thanksgiving, actually. It depends on the year when I was born. I was born the day before Thanksgiving. And so a couple of years ago, I think it was two years ago, my birthday was on Thanksgiving. But I grew up that we always celebrated, or sorry, we all celebrated. We decorated the weekend before, sometimes two weekends before, but I always grew up that Christmas decorations were up before my birthday, and so I'm carrying that with my family, now. My husband, then, he grew up. His family didn't celebrate Halloween, so they set up Christmas on Halloween. And I was like, that is a very long time to have up Christmas decorations. We tried it one year and I was like, this is too much for me. I need it to be like, a shorter time because it felt like Christmas was driving on forever. And I just like my space to not have a bunch of things in it, for the most part, pretty minimalist, but anyways, not even hopefully. But if you got your Christmas decorations up, great. If you're waiting until December, great. I have met people who don't even set up until Christmas Eve and then tear down the day after Christmas. And I'm like, oh, okay. Okay, great. To each their own, that's what I will say. But today we are in the book of Acts. We are in chapters 18, starting with verse 19, going to chapter 19, verse 41. We are in the voice translation for this week.

Commentary

It's a very interesting story today. One of the things that I really love, that I feel like just captivated me ever since I read it, that I want to go back and talk about is so Apollos is a new believer and he's preaching or he's speaking, and Priscilla and Aquila are like, hey, okay, I'm listening. I'm listening to him boldly speak. That's great. They're discerning that he has a gift and also that he has a lack of full understanding. That's what it says. And they took him aside in private and they explained the way of God to him more accurately and fully. He wanted to head west into Akea, where Paul had recently been to preach there. So I love this because how many times have you been in a position where maybe you weren't speaking the full truth? I feel like that happens to me a good amount. I feel like it happened to anybody. There's just kind of, like, normal. That's just a way of life. Sometimes we do the best we can with the information that we have, and then we learn new things. And so that's what's happening to Apollos. He doesn't have a full understanding, but what he does know, he's speaking. And so then Priscilla and Aquila took him to the side and in private, instead of booing him or slandering him or being like, we could, like, actually let's take the stage, or just anything else that would be terrible. They really wanted to edify him and encourage him and not to embarrass him or make him feel less than or anything of that sort. So they take him aside privately and they explain the full gospel to him. And then he goes on to a new town. Like, he's not discouraged. He's not like, way guys, come back. I forgot this part. I'm just learning this. He just goes on to the next town, and he carries what he just learned. And I feel like that's huge to me, at least, to not be so quick to having to correct someone and to be like, oh, well, really, I have the right answer here. Let me tell you what I know. But rather, hey, I actually discerned that you don't have the full understanding of this, so I want to take you aside, and I want to just tell you the full picture of this. Now, this can translate to quite literally, the gospel and being like, hey, you don't have the full picture of this, but also it can translate to, hey, the way you are living is not the full gospel, and I just want to pull you to the side or, hey, why don't you come over for dinner? Something that's private. And I just want to tell you there is freedom from this that you feel like there isn't. This guy, I don't know exactly what he was preaching that they were discerning. He didn't have the full understanding. But sometimes we feel like we have the full understanding and actually we don't. And that's okay, because when people lovingly come and tell us, hey, they just take them to the side. I'm not sure, like, the back of the theater maybe, that he was speaking at, I'm not sure or, like an alley in the town, I don't know. But I feel like how this could roughly translate is inviting someone over for dinner into your home and just being like, hey, I heard you talking about this, and it sounded like you are without hope. And I just want to give you the full understanding that, hey, if you're claiming Christ, there is hope. Hey, I'm hearing this going on, and I just want to say I'm with you. I'm for you. It sounds like you really need someone to believe with you, or it sounds like you need to know the full truth, the full understanding that God is for you and he loves you and he's not a small God, he's a kind and loving father and he's bigger than what you're believing him to be. And truly what comes from that is so beautiful because then that person can go into the next realm of their life knowing actually now I have the full understanding and so I think that that's so beautiful and so timely and so encouraging.

Prayer

So God, I thank you for this story and just for highlighting it to me and really speaking that sometimes we don't have the full understanding. I know that I don't have the full understanding of a lot of things and so God, I pray that there'd be humility in our hearts to receive the people who lovingly pull us aside in private and in loving kindness extend the truth and the fullness of understanding to us. And so I pray that we would be the people who have humility in our hearts to hear those conversations well, and that we would be people who know how to navigate people's hearts in loving kindness and in truth to provide the full understanding in a way that aligns with you, in your word and with your son. And I just thank you so much for your word and I pray that you would stand guard over our mouths and I thank you Lord for your word. It is in your name we pray, amen.

So be sure to check that out and be sure to check out the store. There's some super cool things that are in there, some things that would make really cool Christmas gifts or even just gifts for yourself. Wink wink, nudge nudge. That's something that I was talking about with a friend the other day. I was like, listen, I love all these Black Friday sales but I'm so tempted to just stock up on stuff for myself. And she's like, yeah, that's what it's for. And I was like, oh, okay, cool. But I feel like sometimes I'm just like, oh, this is on sale, I can buy this in bulk. Or wait, I was looking at this and now it's on sale and I'm like, wait, I've bought so much for myself and now I need to actually chill and get stuff for other people. So I'm like, can we have like a Christmas and July sale that doesn't make me go super AWOL of draining my accounts during the holidays? Can we do that? Someone small business owners please? Thank you. You're welcome. There's the idea that one free but circling back to the store. Yeah, be sure to check it out. We have coffee subscriptions and tea subscriptions. So if you are a coffee drinker or a tea drinker anywhere like me and don't really love going to the store to grab it the day that you come downstairs and you realize you're out. And that's how my husband likes to start his day. I'm like, listen, we got to eat before we consume any caffeine. We got to support our adrenals, okay, support our metabolism and then we consume caffeine. So that's why I'm like, okay, now we can start our day, but getting in your morning routine and then seeing that you're out is the worst. So I love subscriptions for that reason, because it comes to your door, you can stay on top of when you need it and you can let it come and you can have a little backup stash or you can realize, hey, I'm running low, I'm going to go ahead and get this order on its way. So that's a really fun tool for you guys to utilize as well. And they make really great gifts as well, so be sure to check that out. But that is all for today. I'm China. I love you and I'll be waiting for you here tomorrow.

Community Prayer Line

Hello, DABC family. This is Diana from Florida and I want to pray for a daughter of honor, Star Kinder, who is dealing with rough patch in her marriage by multiple reasons, for multiple reasons, but mainly because they haven't been unable to bear children. Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you, Lord, and we thank you Jesus, for this couple. We thank you for their hearts, we thank you for their desires to be parents and be able to sow the love of Christ into children, into their own children. Dear God, as I consider their desires, I consider all of the stories in the scriptures of so many whom were baron, Sarah, Rebecca, Hannah, the list goes on. There's so many that did not have children and it did cause considerable strife in their relationships, but yet you in miraculous fashion, would provide and would do your specific colleagues bring children that would then lead to pushing forward the story of Christ? Because all of these children that came about were miracles, because they came out of nowhere, seemingly, and they were children of the prompts that move those generations forward until we get to Jesus. And so I just pray, Lord God, that you would encourage this couple in this, whether they adopt and then later they have they're able to have their own kids because of a miraculous thing or not. Dear God, that they would praise you and worship you in the midst of it all that this season would bring them closer together instead of a part in Jesus name. I bless.

Good morning, DABC Family this is Jamie from West Virginia calling on Thanksgiving Day. I just wanted to call in today because God has placed a spirit of gratefulness on my heart this morning. I just wanted to call and thank everyone who's been praying for my son, Dalyn. I know God is working on him and I truly appreciate all of the prayers over him from this community. I also wanted to extend prayers for Tanya and Suffolk over her marriage. Jesus, please bring her peace, healing, and direction. I also wanted to pray over Christie in Kentucky. Jesus, please give her strength and peace as she and her husband Tim navigate the medical issues that he is battling with. Ultimately, I give praise to you, Jesus, and all that you do within the Dab community. I'm ever so grateful for this platform to lean into him daily and for all the people who lift each other up in prayer. I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. Love you guys. Bye.

Hi, This is Chassis from Kansas. I wanted to call with a couple of prayer requests and also a praise report. First prayer request is for my sister in law. She's a single mom, and so things are a little bit rough for her right now. I want to say God bless all of you single parents. I cannot imagine how much I'll go through. God bless all of you. You're all amazing. As well as her request for some friends of mine that I've known for over 25 years, they seem to almost be strange from the board. They seem to be caught up in some worldly things, and I don't know the full depth of all of it. I don't see them too often, but we all grew up very close together and pretty much family to each other. But I just have been feeling a little bit of a nudge of maybe this isn't the type of friends that I should have, that maybe I should distance myself from them. They seem to be putting distance between themselves and me. They don't invite me to do anything anymore, as they do invite my twin sister to things, which is fine, but just prayers for, I guess, new friends that are Godly influences for my husband and my son and I. And also praise report, our son that I've called about him a couple of times, our autistic little boy, he had a dental visit recently. He had some spacing in his bottom teeth, but they said his teeth look really good. And he had a vision appointment recently to check his eyesight because there was concerns. But everything came back really good. And he's doing amazing in school. His teachers think he's probably on the verge of actually starting to talk and say some real words. So we're really excited. Reeve. God. Thank you all. I love you all. Have a blessed week and weekend.

Making Memories

It’s that time once again to dive into Sunday’s sermon and try to gain a better understanding. The sermon this week was titled “A Legacy of Dynamic Faith” and the supporting scripture was Deuteronomy 31:1-8. If you weren’t with us, you can watch it here:  https://fb.watch/gzIAYeTzjk/

We didn’t get any outside questions this week, but I would like to start out with an outside message I received from someone who watched online as it segways into my question. The person writes, “I have always heard of Halloween as Satan’s holiday and that it represents death and spirits of evil. This is the first time I’ve ever heard it explained as a holy day of remembrance.” What do you say to people who feel that it’s the devil’s holiday? I mean. A lot of Christians are taught this and some denominations preach against it outright and here we are as a church, taking our youth to Freight Fest?

Yeah. That’s kind of an answer.

Yes, it’s a nonverbal answer to the question, I guess. Obviously, you’re unconcerned with what anyone would think about it, which is great.

My answer to this, always, is Halloween, just like anything else is what you make of it. I’m a firm believer in that. If you want Halloween to be haunted, satanic, and demonic, then you can find a way to do that. If you want it to be a very holy time, you can absolutely make it that, too. I go back to, what is your intent? I heard this said on a Christian radio show, it was two pastors and they were asked, “Should my kid celebrate Halloween?” The female pastor that answered, who was well respected, I don’t remember her name right now, said, “Well, does your kid like candy?” The caller said, “Yes, of course.” Pastor asked, “Does your kid like to dress up and have fun?” Again, “Yes, of course.” Pastor inquired, “Does your kid like to go out with other kids or go to the church, to trick or treat, or trunk or treat and being around other people. Do you enjoy that? Do you enjoy being around other people?” Caller said, “Yes, of course.”

Pastor replied, “Then, absolutely, celebrate Halloween!” See, I thought she was saying the same thing, that it is what you make of it. If you want to go out on Halloween and cause mischief, then it can be a mischievous holiday. If you want to go out and celebrate Satan and do all that, it can be that, too. It can also be a very good and light-hearted event. I have had conversations with churches who have said, “We can’t be a part of Halloween. We can’t touch it or have anything to do with it.” My thing is, if WE don’t bring Jesus into Halloween, then HOW does Jesus get into Halloween? That’s why I love churches that do trunk or treat, or host a bizarre, or whatever they may call it.  Some churches do trick or treat. I heard of one church that did actual trick or treating. It wasn’t just all candy; you may have actually gotten a trick. It would have been like a little candy wrapper that was empty or instead of candy it might be a rock wrapped up. It was very light-hearted. That’s my thought there is that if we bring Jesus into this and show that Halloween doesn’t have to be all that. That’s why I wasn’t concerned about Freight Fest. It can be a fun, light-hearted, Christian outing that doesn’t have to get swarmed with demonic and evil, it can just be a fun time of going and maybe getting scared and coming out laughing about it. That’s my answer to that, just like anything, it’s what you make of it. I was trying to explain a little in the sermon that, no, the bible doesn’t specifically say; see Halloween as a time of remembrance. The concept of remembrance if you look at the historical tradition, they’re saying the same thing. We need to take time to remember those who have come before us in faith. Yes, the church has linked the pagan tradition of Halloween with All Saints Pope whoever did that years and years ago. So, some will say it’s not a Christian holiday. Well, no, but we can find ways to express our Christianity in this. That happens a lot, Christmas being the biggest one. At the fundamental core, when you take out all of it’s gore with the horror movies, slasher films, and all that. When you take all that away and all of its culture that’s been created around Halloween, it really has nothing to do with candy, and it really doesn’t even have anything to do with fun. At its core, it’s a time of remembrance. In a way I was trying to push against American culture. Because in American culture, everything that I research, feels like we’ve lost sight of what the true essence of that season is in remembering. Trick or treating has nothing to do with remembering, unfortunately. Horror films have nothing to do with remembering. Haunted houses have nothing to do with remembering. So, I think there was an under message in the sermon of; no matter what you do, whether you hand out candy or you go trick or treating, or you shut off all the lights and hide. No matter what you do, take a moment to remember. That’s really all I was trying to say. That we need to just pause a minute and remember those saints.

I honestly have no thoughts to add to that. What I will share with you from my heart is a song that I always think about this time of year. It reminds me that even if I don’t agree or don’t understand why things are the way they are; in every situation that we find ourselves in, there’s always something to be gained. There’s always a moment to share God and to remember that He is bigger than all the trivial little things we all argue over sometimes, like whether or not we should celebrate Halloween. I hope whatever you did, you had the best time and made a mountain of good memories with your family.

2/12/24 The Truth Behind St. Valentine’s Day Long but worth the read. February 14, 2024 St. Valentine’s Day is the world’s “holiday of love.” Since the Bible states that God is love (I John 4:8, 16), does He approve of the celebration of this day? Does He want His people—true followers—partaking of the candy and cards, or any customs associated with this day?

When God says He wants you to live life abundantly (John 10:10), does that include celebrating a festive, seemingly harmless holiday like Valentine’s Day? The God who gives us everything—life, food, drink, the ability to think for ourselves, etc.—surely approves of St. Valentine’s Day, the holiday for lovers to exchange gifts—right?

Do not be so certain. Do not assume anything. Do not even take this article’s word for it. Go to history books and encyclopedias. Go to the Bible. Then you will know the real truth behind St. Valentine’s Day. And you will know what God expects you to do about it!

Valentine’s Past Like Christmas, Easter, Halloween, New Year’s and other holidays of this world, St. Valentine’s Day is another attempt to “whitewash” perverted customs and observances of pagan gods and idols by “evangelizing” them.

As innocent and harmless as St. Valentine’s Day may appear, its traditions and customs originate from two of the most sexually perverted pagan festivals of ancient history: Lupercalia and the feast day of Juno Februata.

Celebrated on February 15, Lupercalia (known as the “festival of sexual license”) was held by the ancient Romans in honor of Lupercus, god of fertility and husbandry, protector of herds and crops, and a mighty hunter—especially of wolves. The Romans believed that Lupercus would protect Rome from roving bands of wolves, which devoured livestock and people.

Assisted by Vestal Virgins, the Luperci (male priests) conducted purification rites by sacrificing goats and a dog in the Lupercal cave on Palatine Hill, where the Romans believed the twins Romulus and Remus had been sheltered and nursed by a she-wolf before they eventually founded Rome. Clothed in loincloths made from sacrificed goats and smeared in their blood, the Luperci would run about Rome, striking women with februa, thongs made from skins of the sacrificed goats. The Luperci believed that the floggings purified women and guaranteed their fertility and ease of childbirth. February derives from februa or “means of purification.”

To the Romans, February was also sacred to Juno Februata, the goddess of febris (“fever”) of love, and of women and marriage. On February 14, billets (small pieces of paper, each of which had the name of a teen-aged girl written on it) were put into a container. Teen-aged boys would then choose one billet at random. The boy and the girl whose name was drawn would become a “couple,” joining in erotic games at feasts and parties celebrated throughout Rome. After the festival, they would remain sexual partners for the rest of the year. This custom was observed in the Roman Empire for centuries.

Whitewashing Perversion In A.D. 494, Pope Gelasius renamed the festival of Juno Februata as the “Feast of the Purification of the Virgin Mary.” The date of its observance was later changed from February 14 to February 2, then changed back to the 14. It is also known as Candlemas, the Presentation of the Lord, the Purification of the Blessed Virgin and the Feast of the Presentation of Christ in the Temple.

After Constantine had made the Roman church’s brand of worshipping the official religion of the Roman Empire (A.D. 325), church leaders wanted to do away with the pagan festivals of the people. Lupercalia was high on their list. But the Roman citizens thought otherwise.

It was not until A.D. 496 that the church at Rome was able to do anything about Lupercalia. Powerless to get rid of it, Pope Gelasius instead changed it from February 15 to the 14th and called it St. Valentine’s Day. It was named after one of that church’s saints, who, in A.D. 270, was executed by the emperor for his beliefs.

According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, “At least three different Saint Valentines, all of them martyrs, are mentioned in early martyrologies under the date of 14 February. One is described as a priest at Rome, another as bishop of Interamna (modern Terni), and these two seem both to have suffered in the second half of the third century and to have been buried on the Flaminian Way, but at different distances from the city…Of the third Saint Valentine, who suffered in Africa with a number of companions, nothing is further known.” Several biographies of different men named Valentine were merged into one “official” St. Valentine.

The church whitewashed Lupercalia even further. Instead of putting the names of girls into a box, the names of “saints” were drawn by both boys and girls. It was then each person’s duty to emulate the life of the saint whose name he or she had drawn. This was Rome’s vain attempt to “whitewash” a pagan observance by “worshipping” it, which God has not given man the power or authority to do. Though the church at Rome had banned the sexual lottery, young men still practiced a much toned-down version, sending women whom they desired handwritten romantic messages containing St. Valentine’s name. Over the centuries, St. Valentine’s Day cards became popular, especially by the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. These cards were painted with pictures of Cupid and hearts, and meticulously decorated with lace, silk or flowers.

First Man Called Valentine But who was the original Valentine? What does the name Valentine mean? Valentine comes from the Latin Valentinus, which derives from valens—“to be strong, powerful, mighty.”

The Bible describes a man with a similar title: “And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD” (Gen. 10:8-9). He was said to have hunted with bow and arrow.

As mentioned, the Romans celebrated Lupercalia to honor the hunter god Lupercus. To the Greeks, from whom the Romans had copied most of their mythology, Lupercus was known as Pan, the god of light. The Phoenicians worshipped the same deity as Baal, the sun god. Baal was one of many names or titles for Nimrod, a mighty hunter, especially of wolves. He was also the founder and first lord of Babel (Gen. 10:10-12). Defying God, Nimrod was the originator of the Babylonian Mystery Religion, whose mythologies have been copied by the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Romans and a multitude of other ancient peoples.

Under different names or titles—Pan, Lupercus, Saturn, Osiris—Nimrod is the strong man and hunter-warrior god of the ancients.

But what does the heart symbol have to do with a day honoring Nimrod/Valentine?

The title Baal means “lord” or “master,” and is mentioned throughout the Bible as the god of pagans. God warned His people not to worship or even tolerate the ways of Baal (Nimrod). In ancient Chaldean (the language of the Babylonians), bal, which is similar to Baal, meant, “heart.” This is where the Valentine heart symbol originated.

Now notice the name Cupid. It comes from the Latin verb cupere, meaning “to desire.” Cupid was the son of Venus, Roman goddess of beauty and love. Also known as Eros in ancient Greece, he was the son of Aphrodite. According to myth, he was responsible for impregnating numerous goddesses and mortals. Cupid was a child-like archer (remember, Nimrod was a skilled archer). Mythology describes Cupid as having both a cruel and happy personality. He would use his invisible arrows, tipped with gold, to strike unsuspecting men and women, causing them to fall madly in love. He did not do this for their benefit, but to drive them crazy with intense passion, to make their lives miserable, and to laugh at the results. Many of the gods of the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Assyrians and others were modeled after one man—Nimrod.

But what does this have to do with us today? Why should we be concerned with what happened in the past?

What God Thinks Read what God commands His people concerning pagan customs and traditions: “Learn not the way of the heathen…For the customs of the people are vain” (Jer. 10:2-3). Also notice Christ’s words in Matthew 15:9: “…in vain they do worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.”

Throughout the Bible, God describes “heathens” as those who worship things that He had created (animals, the sun, the moon, stars, trees, etc.), or man-made idols, or anything but the one true God. He calls such people and their practices pagan. True followers of Yesua understand that God hates any customs, practices and traditions that are rooted in paganism.

But just how serious is God about paganism?

When He rescued the twelve tribes of Israel from brutal slavery and led them out of Egypt, He commanded them, “After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein you dwelt, shall you not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, where I bring you, shall you not do: neither shall you walk in their ordinances” (Lev. 18:3). God demanded the Israelites not to defile themselves with the pagan practices and customs of surrounding nations (vs. 24-29). “Therefore shall you keep Mine ordinance, that you commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that you defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God” (vs. 30).

God cursed Egypt—a nation of nature-worshiper—with ten plagues and freed Israel from slavery. He rescued Israel from Pharaoh’s army by parting the Red Sea and leading His people to safety. He fed the Israelites manna—special bread made by God—from heaven. He protected them from battle-tested Gentile armies, delivered them into the Promised Land and drove out their enemies.

How did Israel treat God in return? “Our fathers understood not Your wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of Your mercies; but provoked Him at the sea, even at the Red Sea…They soon forgot His works; they waited not for His counsel: But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert…They made a calf in Horeb, and worshiped the molten image. Thus, they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eats grass. They forgot God their Savior, which had done great things in Egypt; wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red Sea…they despised the pleasant land, they believed not His word: But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD …They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead. Thus they provoked Him to anger with their intentions” (Psa. 106:7, 13-14, 19-22, 24-25, 28-29).

God explicitly commanded Israel to cast out and utterly destroy all nations that occupied the Promised Land (Canaan). Above all, His people were not to make political alliances with them or marry into their families (Deut. 7:1-3, 5, 16). “For they will turn away your sons from following Me, that they may serve other gods” (vs. 4).

But the Israelites thought they knew better than God. They decided to do things their own way. “They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them: But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works. And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them. Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils [demons], and shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood. Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions” (Psa. 106:34-39).

To wake them up and get them back on track as the model nation He had originally intended, God gave Israel over to their enemies. Israel repented and cried out to God. God rescued them. With their bellies full and lives protected, the Israelites went back to pursuing other gods. God punished Israel again. Israel repented and cried out to God.

And so went the deliverance-idolatry-punishment-repentance cycle (vs. 40-46), until finally, God had no other choice but to divorce unfaithful Israel (Jer. 3:6-11).

He used the Assyrians, one of the most brutal warrior nations in history, to invade, conquer, enslave and relocate the entire northern kingdom of Israel (II Kings 17). Having “disappeared” from history, the modern-day descendants of those ten “lost” tribes are unaware of their true identity even to this day.

Later, God sent the southern kingdom of Judah (mainly the tribes of Judah, Benjamin and Levi) into Babylonian exile (II Kings 24 and 25). Because they kept (at least physically) the true Sabbath, which is a special sign that identifies the one true God and His people (Ex. 31:12-18), the Jews were able to retain their true identity.

The Israelites were severely punished because they lusted after pagan customs, rituals, traditions and practices. As you can see, God does not take paganism lightly.

Why Paganism Is Wrong Just why does God hate anything that resembles pagan customs? Is it possible to “whitewash” or “evangelizing” pagan practices and make them clean? Is it okay to practice pagan customs as long as you “worship God”?

Notice what God says in Leviticus chapter 18. After rescuing Israel from slavery, God warned them not to practice the customs they had picked up in Egypt, or learn the ways, customs and traditions of the Gentile nations that they would encounter in the Promised Land (vs. 1-3). Instead, God commanded Israel to follow His ways (vs. 4-5).

God then describes the pagan ways of these ungodly nations in great detail. In verses 7-20, He condemns all kinds of heterosexual sex relations that fall outside the holy boundaries of marriage—incest, fornication, adultery, etc. In verses 22-23, God condemns homosexuality and bestiality. Together, these sins break down and destroy the family unit that God had so lovingly created and instituted.

Notice what God links to these perversions: “And you shall not let any of your seed [children] pass through the fire to Molech, neither shall you profane the name of your God: I am the LORD” (vs. 21). God ties in the perverse sexual practices of ungodly, pagan nations with human sacrifices—parents offering the lives of their children to pagan gods!

The Bible shows that Israel not only disobeyed God and wholeheartedly embraced the sexual immorality of the Gentiles, they even went a step further.

“And they have turned unto Me the back, and not the face: though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction. But they set their abominations in the house [the temple at Jerusalem], which is called by My name, to defile it. And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into My mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin” (Jer. 32:33-35). (To learn more about these child sacrifices to Molech, download from our website our sermon Santa Claus is Molech and our booklets The True Origin of Christmas and The True Origin of Easter.)

Imagine. Israel committed a sin so vile, so disgusting, that it even shocked God! But that was then. What about today? Surely, parents do not sacrifice their children to pagan gods today—or do they?

Do not be so certain. Perhaps their lives are not being sacrificed—but what about their innocence?

Parents today expect their little ones to “fall in love” and have boyfriends and girlfriends. They think it is “cute” when little boys and girls hold hands and act like a couple, sneaking a kiss or two when no one is watching. Some parents get worried when their kids do not show romantic interest in the opposite sex. They constantly ask them, “Do you have a boyfriend yet?” or “Who’s your girlfriend?”

Yet these same parents are surprised when their teen-aged “little girl” gets pregnant. Or catches a sexually transmitted disease. Or gets an abortion behind their back.

St. Valentine’s Day is just one of many tools the “god of this world” (II Cor. 4:4) uses to get parents to sacrifice the innocence of their children.

When little boys and girls draw each other’s names in a lottery and send Valentine cards and gifts to each other, declaring their “love,” they are learning the first stages of intimate relations that the Creator God designed specifically for emotionally mature adults. Instead of embracing the carefree innocence of youth, growing up without the headaches and heartaches of adulthood (finding a job, paying bills, marriage, raising a family, etc.), children today are taught to lust after each other. They are caught up in a daily drama of “If-you-loved-me-you’d-sleep-with-me; I’m-pregnant; It’s-not-mine, she-had-an-abortion.” By the time they reach adulthood, virtually every shred of innocence, sincerity and moral decency has been stripped from them. Emotionally drained, they have world-weary, “been there, done that” attitudes. And their lives are just beginning.

This is why we live in a world where a teen-aged virgin is a rare find. Where what used to be called “shacking up” and “living in sin” is now simply “living together.” Where sex is nothing more than meaningless physical recreation—no emotional attachments, no cares, no concerns. Where people change sex partners as conveniently as they change clothes. Where unmarried twenty- or thirty-something’s have had at least five sexual partners—and that is considered a low number, especially in the United States. Where men are not referred to as “my husband,” or “my fiancé,” but as “my second baby’s father.” How pathetic!

Satan has deceived the whole world (Rev. 12:9) in multiple ways—especially when it comes to intimate relationships. St. Valentine’s Day is just one of his tools for deception. (To learn more about this great deceiver, read Who Is the Devil?)

“Come Out of Her, My People” Concerning the near future, when man’s Satan-influenced world is about to collapse, God declares, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils [demons], and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed [increased] rich through the abundance of her delicacies” (Rev. 18:2-3).

Concerning this pagan, satanic system, God commands true followers of Yeshua, “Come out of her, My people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues” (vs. 4).

St. Valentine’s Day originates from the ancient paganism of this Satan-influenced world. It is designed to deceive mankind by appealing to fleshly, carnal desires—or, as the Bible calls them, the works of the flesh.

“Now the works of the flesh are manifest [made obvious], which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry…drunkenness, reveling, and such like” (Gal. 5:19-21). Do any of these sound like Lupercalia to you?

Ultimately, “they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.” A true follower of Yeshua is focused on God’s soon-coming kingdom (Matt. 6:33) and the world to come—not on the fleshly cravings of this world. A true follower of Yeshua must strive to “put off the old man” and actively imitate the perfect, righteous example of Jesus Christ. A follower of Yeshua knows that he must actively come out of this world, out of its pagan-infested customs, practices and traditions.

Followers of Yeshua do not celebrate St. Valentine’s Day!

Have a blessed day and weekend. May Yeshua the Messiah bless you, Love, Debbie

Halloween, Protestants, and Scripture

Should Christians celebrate Halloween? It became an official holiday in the 9th century after a pronouncement by the Roman Catholic Pope Gregory IV. Protestants such as Joy Wendling, Kirk Cameron, Hailey Biebber, and Alan Rudnick think Christians should keep it. But other Protestants have issues with that. What about the Church of God, which is not Protestant nor Roman Catholic? What about Martin Luther, the Apostle Jude, the original faith, and licentiousness? Does Halloween have its origins in a pagan Druid holiday which has many of the same features as modern Halloween celebrations? What do Satanists and those who practice Wicca (witchcraft) think of Halloween? Is Halloween the right time to be a Christian witness? What about lewd Halloween costumes? Did a Roman Catholic write, "Catholic feasts are in continuity and fulfill the meaning of the pagan ones"? What did the Apostle Paul write about combining biblical and demonic practices? Did early Christians endorse anything like Halloween or 'All Saints Day'? What is the state of the dead? Should real Christians rely on the Word of God or feelings some ascribe to the Holy Spirit? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more.

Yahwehs message

There is a lot of deceitfulness and most prophets out there and the church are spreading lies. I’m calling it out. I have bumped into many prophets including a woman with initials J g who says that there will be an out pouring of the spirit and the biggest revival in the church and I also just saw another person on a channel saying the clock is counting down and the same message. I strongly believe by 2030 this world will be over. I have been given many dreams of coming chaos and nothing in me believes this world is heading back. I have seen gods hand coming down to get his people two nights ago and the plane taking off a night or so ago. I have seen many visions of the earth quake and tsunami and volcanoes that are about to rock this place. There is no more time and the Bible doesn’t say anywhere in it that there will be a revival at the end but just the opposite. It says there will be a great falling away and that it will be the times of Noah at the end. For the true discerning chosen ones that time is now. I look around me and see nothing but fake Christian’s who worship satan unknowingly. I see people with a foot in the world and a foot with god. This use to be me. I use to watch tv and watch movies and listen to secular music and do what everyone else does. I cut it all out three years ago when I saw we were at the end. And I have become yahwehs watchman and seen many dreams and visions. I have seen the wedding table many times in heaven. I saw yeshua in the clouds when in Florida. I have seen angels and seems from heaven many times. My dogs name was given to me by yahweh and it means god is good (Tobias). The whole world has been deceived and the first part of the mark of the beast has been given by poke and everyone that I saw take it had changed and is not who they used to be. It has altered the original dna of god which was put in us and is now being put into food and given to us any way they can. They want us all to not be recognizable to Yah.

sad to say if you willingly took the jab you are probably going the wrong way. There will be a part 2 with a chip in the very near future. If you claim to be a Christian and celebrate Halloween then you are majorly mislead, it is a satanic abomination that curses everyone attached and alllows demons to come in and possess. Satanists have many rituals which they curse people with and sacrifice many and drink their blood. Christmas is not yeshuas bday and doesn’t make since yeshua was born in early fall or spring and if we look at the writings we can know this. Saturnalia and the Yule festival is why Christmas was invented. Easter or Ishtar is another satan worshipping holiday. The true festivals of Yahweh are his feasts which were a lasting ordinance and to be done every year and aren’t hard to do. Sukkot is right now and ending Friday. Passover and first fruits and unleavened bread are the true festivals we should worship and participate in which we do communion and remember yeshuas sacrifice for all. The next seven years most will be on this earth and go through robots hunting us down famines the likes which you have not seen will happen. Plagues that wipe out millions will happen. Disasters that change the face of the earth are commencing and the antichrist will take full control and you will not be able to do anything with out his approval. If you don’t follow him you will be tortured and despised and be an enemy of the state. It will literally be hell on earth and nothing will be easy or normal. This is your final final warning and the chaos and judgment of the world commences and the birth pains will hit levels not before seen. Please turn back to Yahweh and turn away from the world now. I am a true man of Yahweh and he is done with this evil world. God bless
