“’God is in control,’ some will say. ‘Be silent, be still, wait for the Lord.’ Sentences like these can excuse inaction, dress paralysis in pious garb, and frame cowardice as an act of faith."
“’Wait for God’ means to watch out for God's action in history and participate in it. Not inaction or surrender, but a renewed commitment.”
~ Ibid., p. 27

“Believe the demons, too — they're often the earliest to recognize the Spirit of God. If they flinch and yell, trust that something real is happening. Their violent response is a sign of anxiety and despair, not of true power, but it points you the way. It reveals their weakness and allows you to leverage it.”
~ Ibid., p. 26

“Seek the wisdom of those on the margins. To them the beast will show its true face first, and they have long had to live with far fewer illusions. To them the resurrected Christ will appear first, and they have long developed practices of resilience and discernment.”

“There is a reason the Bible talks about the devil as ‘the antichrist.’ Evil likes to pose as salvation, and to harness the power of faith for its falsified gospel.”

Comme Noël s'approche, j'en profite pour faire mon capitaliste et faire de la promo pour des bouquins.
Aujourd'hui, je vous présente : l'évangile selon Phylactère.
Attention, malgré son titre, on est plus proche d'Annyo que de la bibliothèque de Babel.

[Accès libre] Elon Musk lance Grokipedia, son alternative à Wikipédia jugé biaisée idéologiquement
Une encyclopédie biaisée rédigée par IA et financée par un facho…. Monde de merde !
C'est effrayant de voir #Musk sortir #grokipedia #grokonpedia, remplie d'autant de #merde #nazi|e.
Faudrait lui faire découvrir la #Bible, plus particulièrement #Esaie
Esaïe 5:20 BDS
[20] Malheur à vous ╵qui nommez le mal bien et le bien mal, vous qui changez ╵les ténèbres en lumière, la lumière en ténèbres, vous qui changez ╵l’amertume en douceur et la douceur en amertume.

@fdroidorg has religious convictions now. They reject Islam, Christianity and Judaism. I thought an app store shouldn't enforce its own religious beliefs on others.

When bad people die, I generally put up the verse Ezekiel 18:23 on my social media accounts.
Why? Well, in this passage, it says that the Lord does not rejoice in the death of evil men, but wishes they would have turned from their evil ways while they were still alive.
That is how I feel now about the death of Charlie Kirk. I do not rejoice in his death, I wish he realized the evil he was perpetuating and stopped before he died.

#WritersCoffeeClub 24. Have you ever written a work that was a retelling of another work?
Not exactly a "retelling" than "translation with added commentary".
But I observe all the time how folk tales got retold in different guises and context, and many - possibly the majority - count as #fanfiction in my view. Some of them are just more blatant about it than others.
The #Bible fanfiction stories in particular are a hoot.

"But most importantly, natural disasters are a reminder to 'repent or perish,' because see point #1 about living in a fallen world."
Then the king will say to those on his right, "come, you who are blessed by my father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world."
For I was an immigrant and you put a mask on your face, threatened me with a gun, smashed my car window, disappeared me to a concentration camp in a swamp, and fed me from dishes on the floor.

"There was a reason I wasn’t taught the history of the Bible or U.S. empire: Christian Zionist theology crumbles under the weight of fact and history. But in order to fully leave that world behind, I had to physically leave, get an education, and meet people who were different from me."
"[Growing up in an evangelical household in Texas,] I learned that Christian Zionists have little interest in actual, living Jewish people; they treat Jews as pawns on the way to Christians’ spiritual blessing or instrumental to the fulfillment of ancient prophetic texts. It took years to see this ideology for what it really was: supremacist and nationalist."

"Slavery existed in this country because Christianity said it was of God. We are the only nation on the earth where our history is completely intertwined with white supremacy and Christianity. No other religious nation has what we have where white supremacy and religion are completely twisted together."
