You seem to be well versed in heresies. Which one is "Jesus isn't special for agreeing to sacrifice himself for human sins, nobody else just got an offer"?

Christian theologies that deny the doctrine of the Virgin Birth and hold that Jesus was an ordinary man who was adopted as God's son during his life – often at his baptism, though some strands place the event elsewhere – are broadly grouped under the heading of "adoptionism". We'd need to get a lot more specific about the particular theological claims being made to narrow it down any more than that.

As is always the case with Christian heresies, it's tough to pin down exactly how commonly adoptionism has actually been practised, as most surviving descriptions of it come to us via its critics, and early Church authorities were notorious for making up guys to get mad at. However, in the case of adoptionism in particular, we have pretty solid evidence of widespread practice prior to the First Council of Nicaea, and the argument can be made that it was the majority view in at least some Christian communities as late as the 5th Century.

(Interestingly, some contemporary Mormons also hold adoptionist views, though their version is distinct from what you're describing, as it involves Jesus being adopted as God's son at birth, not later in life.)

tagging @apocrypals if for no other reason than it's a fun fact they'll enjoy

Just to add — there is an argument to be made that the Gospel of Mark presents an adoptionist view of the divinity of Christ, i.e., that Jesus was just a dude until his baptism when God announced him as his son

You actually cannot skip to being good at a creative endeavour that you haven't put much practice into. You cannot trick your way out of the 'knows that your work is not what you want it to be but don't know how to improve it' stage by planning or reading or talking about it really really hard. At some point you just have to craft through it until your brain finds it's own unique way back to the 'everything I make slaps' stage and be prepared to start the cycle all over again. You just have to make that project you're excited about slightly less good than you want it to be. (Says this standing in a pool of blood and covered in blood and also coughing up a little blood)

2008, and I'm getting ready for my government job fresh out of college. There's a suddenly bright light as a tear in space appears, and a bright haired female version of myself steps through it.

"Foone! I have an important message, from your future self!"

"oh wow, is it that I'm a girl and need to transition immediately?"

"no, you'll figure that out yourself. This is more important"

She steps closer and takes my face into her hands.

"never read homestuck for a boy you have a crush on. Farewell!"

There's another flash and a momentary smell of ozone, and I'm alone in my apartment again, more confused than ever.

A couple people have reblogged this with tags like "what about for a girl?" so let me be clear by quoting my beloved grandpa, may he rest in peace:

Always do what a cute girl tells you to do.
