The anger and call for vengeance swelling inside you is, in Star Wars lore, the Dark Side. Do not let it pull you from the better path Jesus calls us to. 🙏🏻🧡 View quoted note →

If you see anyone celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk, they're possessed by a demon or worse.

Words can prevent war, But when they fail, conflict begins: "When words fail, wars begin." "Jaw, jaw is better than war, war." - Churchill "When diplomacy ends, war begins." "The pen is mightier than the sword, but when the pen fails, the sword is drawn." "Words are the first weapon; when they fail, steel follows."

I feel deep grief. Tearful eyes, heavy heart. I'm so sorry to Kirk and his family. This should never have happened. Something feels different. Jesus (Iēsous), come quickly.

And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples and said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh.” (Evangelion, cf. Luke 6:20–21)

Marcion was right.

And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace.” And the woman was healed immediately. (Evangelion, cf. Luke 8:48) Jesus shows the transformative power of faith, and a responsive, loving Father.

And when they came to the place that is called The Skull, there they crucified him... And Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” (Evangelion, cf. Luke 23:33–34) Jesus showed us a merciful Father who offers forgiveness and reconciliation.

And he was told, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, desiring to see you.” But he answered them, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word [logos] of God [Theos] and do it.” (Evangelion, cf. Luke 8:20–21) Listening to Jesus is vital.

'The Marcion Thesis, Revisited: A God from Hell' is a well‑crafted, easy‑to‑read book that examines the troubling actions attributed to the Old‑Testament deity YHWH, delivering its critique with a subtle sense of humour. Added to my recommended reads - link in bio.

"Which of these three, do you think, proved to be a neighbour to the man who fell among robbers?" He said, "The one who showed him mercy." And Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise." (Evangelion, cf. Luke 10:36–37) Show compassion and love, Reflecting the merciful Father. ❤‍🔥

“No one knows who the Son is except the Father, or who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.” (Evangelion, cf. Luke 10:22) Exclusivity of who the Father is clear, Jesus is the sole revealer of the true Father.

“I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (Testamentum, cf. John 8:12) Jesus, the revealer of a loving Father ❤‍🔥

“For the Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son, that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.” (Testamentum, cf. John 5:22–24) Jesus speaks to the promise of eternal life through faith, reflecting a loving God revealed through Christ.

“And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the heathen do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.” (Testamentum, cf. Matthew 6:7–8) Focus on heartfelt prayer—avoid empty repetitions and trust that the Father already knows our needs.

“And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.” (Testamentum, cf. Matthew 6:5–6) Jesus teaches the importance of private prayer to the unseen Father, reflecting a loving God, distinct from public displays of piety.

The Father is holy: pure, transcendent, untouched by this world's flaws. Jesus says in Luke 11:2: "Father, hallowed be your name." Not like YHWH, the jealous deity demanding blood. His justice is mercy and grace, not vengeance or "eye for an eye." He offers forgiveness, even to the ignorant, as in Luke 23:34: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." No harsh judgments like the old law; faith saves alone. The Father was hidden until revealed in Christ. His kingdom is not a future spectacle—it is here now. Luke 17:20-21: "The kingdom of God is not coming in ways that can be observed... for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you." The ultimate ruler over all, even allowing this world's "prince" temporary sway. Paul in Colossians 1:16: "For by him all things were created... all things were created through him and for him." In Ephesians 4:6: "One God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all." Not flawed like the one who wrestles humans or regrets creations. Reject the wrathful god (YHWH)—embrace the gracious Father that was only revealed through Jesus alone.

In Genesis 14:22, the Masoretic Text shows Abraham swearing an oath to "YHWH, El Elyon, creator of heaven and earth." Textual evidence suggests YHWH was a later addition: Samaritan Pentateuch & Septuagint: These earlier texts omit YHWH, referencing only "El Elyon" or "the God, El Elyon." Dead Sea Scrolls (1QapGen): The Genesis Apocryphon excludes YHWH, focusing on El Elyon. Melchizedek's Role: Genesis 14:18-20 identifies Melchizedek as priest of El Elyon, not YHWH, blessing Abraham in El Elyon’s name. Scholarly Consensus: YHWH’s insertion reflects post-exilic efforts to merge the Canaanite high god El Elyon with Israel’s YHWH. Thus, Abraham’s oath was originally tied to El Elyon, with Melchizedek as His priest, and not YHWH.

A short tale that ends in silence.

Mental gymnastics engaged 😵‍💫🤡
