if you assume a trans woman is going to top because of her genitalia start running. I am coming to get you.
if you assume a trans man is going to bottom because of his genitalia start running. I am coming to get you.
if you assume a nonbinary person is going to fill some sexual role because of their genitalia start running. I am coming to get you.
This is solidarity: there’s a certain community theatre production company I like working with a lot because they have gone above and beyond to NEVER misgender me, to let me use the men’s dressing room and give me tips on more masculine body language when acting make roles, and even refer to me as ‘sir’ often. They even paid me to learn basic lighting design so I could fill that role for a show for them and encouraged me to take those skills to other companied. I only did my first show for them last year but I think I feel more comfortable here than with my family who keeps misgendering and deadnaming me, or my workplace where customers often call me ‘ma’am’.
This is solidarity!
Christians love to claim that Hell is real, and not some recent invention, despite the fact that the most well known passage from the Bible does in fact show that neither Jesus himself, nor did the slaves who transcribed the book of John, believe in Hell.
This is oddly something I haven't seen even the most well known scholars write about. Even in Ehrman's Heaven and Hell, which is a book about how Jesus didn't believe in Hell (or Heaven), and how it was a recent invention - Dr. Ehrman doesn't even touch on John 3:16
Explanation for those who care:
So, Judaism back in Jesus' time, along with the early Christians, they didn't have Hell as we know of it today. Skipping over Sheol as that was for everyone regardless of whether they were evil or not - In their theology, if one died and weren't "right" with YHWH/God (God here refers to the Christian's deity), they would go to Gehenna.
Gehenna, is referred to as the "Lake of Fire" in the Apocalypse of John (Or Revelation as some call it). Here's a passage of it from Revelation 20:11-15
and a few other select verses that refer to the same concept, from the other Gospels
Now there's a few things I'd like to draw attention to:
The concept of an "eternal fire"
The complete and eternal destruction of both body and soul
The comparison to destruction of "root" and "branch" (types of wood)
Early Christians and certain Jewish people in that era (as Gehenna has evolved in what exactly it constitutes from then to now, and even between Jewish people of that era, who had a wide variety of views on things, but for simplicity sake, we're gonna focus on Apocalypticism Judaism (200 BCE - 100 CE), which Jesus was a part of) believed that Gehenna was like a literal fire. As in, if you throw wood into a fire, it's destroyed, permanently. You can't reform it, you can't bring it back. It's gone. It ceases to exist, literally. (Yes, it turns to ash and the matter is still there, but I digress, the wood is destroyed)
That's literally what Jesus and others who wrote the Bible thought of Gehenna. When you're tossed into the fire, you're destroyed permanently. You cease to exist. Maybe a few seconds of suffering, but after that? You're gone. Both body, and soul, are destroyed.
So, with that understanding of the theology of the time, let's take a look at John 3:16:
So, you have two options here:
Believe in Jesus, and have eternal life, and don't perish
Don't believe, and perish, without eternal life
Now, under modern Christian theology, you don't believe? You go to Hell and burn eternally.
But... this verse, it says that you only have eternal life, if you believe. It never says a good eternal life, or an eternal life without hell. It just says you only have eternal life if you believe in Jesus. That makes zero sense in modern understandings.
That's because under the author's understanding back then, as you now know, you don't burn eternally. You die and cease to exist if you don't believe in Jesus.
The Greek word used here for "perish" is ἀπόλλυμι (apoollumi), which refers to destroying an inanimate object, to kill, or destroy permanently and completely
Other examples of this word being used in the Greek manuscripts:
The king was furious! He sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burned their city to the ground. Matt 22:7
saying, “What with us, do you have to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are — the Holy One of God!” Mark 1:24
And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed Luke 5:37
Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you whether it is lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to destroy it?” Luke 6:9
There is literally only way to interpret John 3:16, that the only other option if you don't believe, is complete and utter destruction, and not eternal suffering, from an immortal soul.
I'm currently writing a book on the Apocalypse of John actually, and explaining every single verse and what it ACTUALLY meant to Christians of the time, complete with academic citations. Doing research into what the Christian texts actually mean is a huge interest of mine and is a way for me to heal from trauma I had growing up.
It's incredibly interesting how much the religion evolved. Hell, the BIGGEST thing in Christian theology was only made "canon" because pastors and priests made it the fuck up to reconcile textual issues, and Christians of the time noticed that any evidence for it was lacking from the Latin translations, and got so angry at the publishers that they added text in to make it canon.
That concept? The trinity. This one verse is the ONLY verse in the NT that explicitly states that the trinity is a thing, and it was only added later on in later translations.
Incredibly interesting rabbit hole to dive into.
So the trinity’s essentially a headcanon that was eventually accepted by the collective fandom as canon. I see I see
That’s really interesting though, I never knew that. Good luck on that book!! ^^
Correct!
Ehrman did a short section of his one lecture on the KJV and its issues, on the Johanine Comma, if you're looking to hear more about it from a respected expert on the Bible
(Timestamped with where it starts, but I highly reccomend watching the whole thing, as it's a really cool lecture on why the KJV is absolutely dogshit)
Whoever would buy the rights to the manuscript
admire folks who reblog posts which contradict eachother. exactly! keep em guessing

THIS IS SO CUTE WHAT
Young Hero Sent On A Quest meets other young heroes also sent on various quests—only to discover they're all being used as free child labor by the same flaky wizard as a scam to collect magical artifacts.
the Young Heroes' collective new "Quest" is now to Unionize.....
actually this is funnier if there are multiple wizards involved. the 12-year-olds combine their knowledge and realize the wizards are operating as a unified corporate entity...so then of course they have to go on a Quest To Meet The Monarch to ask the Crown to rule on this previously undeclared power bloc. which in a feudal fantasy world causes all sorts of political intrigue! none of it good
so then we've got corporate executive wizards facing off against royal anti-monopoly legal teams. meanwhile the aforementioned 12-year-olds are standing by pissed off and chewing popcorn (and hoarding undeclared magical artifacts they may or may not collectively vote to use as ammunition to fuel a revolutionary uprising). the!! possibilities!!!!!!

some hyper famous artists like Van Gogh transcend overratedness and become underrated because they're so normalized. Like I'll look at a van Gogh and I'm like wait this really is amazing you guys don't get it
Shakespeare is like this
Every time I see a Van Gogh that’s not one of his better known pieces it absolutely blows me away
Have you seen this shit my liege? smh unreal
