TYL the original text of the Battle Hymn of the Republic included the line “As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free” as a reference to the Abolitionist John Brown. The tune of the hymn itself is literally called “John Brown’s Body”.

Every time you sing this song and use the words to “let us live to make men free” you lose the allusion to John Brown and his radical christian conviction. He was controversial in life and in death for willing to fight, organize, and die to free the enslaved while the rest of the country was satisfied to live peaceably with injustice.

I suggest it is time to uncancel John Brown from our collective consciousness. We’ve lived so long with the injustice of systemic racism, may we be willing to die to free our brother, our sister, our equal.

[itshomolology]

Idk where you’re from or any of that, but uh, John Brown has never been cancelled (atleast in Kansas) there’s a literal mural of him, bible in one hand and a rifle in the other meant to symbolize the way he was willing to defend his ideals by any means necessary in the capital building:

I def learned about him being a questionable dude in later history classes, but y’all I can’t tell you how many W.W.J.B.D bumper stickers and t-shirts I’ve seen.

[hereticalsuggestions]

I didn’t mean to imply that John Brown has been cancelled generally, but that all references to him had been erased from a song that was written in his honor - an example of cancellation.

The church I attend uses the, uh, “whitewashed“ version of the hymn. And has poor track record when it comes to race and civil rights...

[mormonmonastery]

I support the goals of Moses and #LetMyPeopleGo but I’m disappointed to see what used to be peaceful protests take such a violent turn :( Politely asking Pharaoh to free the Israelites from slavery is more effective than unleashing plague after plague on Egypt. And now I hear that a lot of Israelites are out destroying their own communities by tagging their houses with some kind of gang sign? that’s painted with animal blood? What does that even accomplish? I agree that a whole people being in bondage and having their babies killed is kind of messed up, but it’s still never okay to destroy people’s property with hail and locusts. They need to show more respect to the people who’ve been systemically slaughtering them. Violence never solved anything :( Two wrongs never make a right :( :(

Sometimes I forget most people don't hate cops like my church is having a mass tonight to pray for doctors, firefighters and police (all of which i agree w except for the cops) and now i'm having conflicted feelings

Yikes. That’s rough. Cops are very very different professions from firefighters and doctors.

I think that there are more people who dislike cops than like cops. The people who tend to be cop apologists are usually related to one.

May they be called upon only when appropriate.

May they be licensed.

May they be held accountable for their actions.

May they serve the afflicted and not cause affliction.

May they heal the sick, defend the defenseless, and fight fire with compassion.

May God Almighty deny them all refuge should they pervert this prayer.

Amen.

what are the names of Trinitarian heresies?

According to Wiki

Adoptionism - Belief that Jesus was born as a mere (non-divine) man, was supremely virtuous and that he was adopted later as “Son of God” by the descent of the Spirit on him.

Apollinarism - Belief that Jesus had a human body and lower soul (the seat of the emotions) but a divine mind.

Arianism - Denial of the true divinity of Jesus Christ taking various specific forms, but all agreed that Jesus Christ was created by the Father, that he had a beginning in time, and that the title “Son of God” was a courtesy one.

Docetism - Belief that Jesus’ physical body was an illusion, as was his crucifixion; that is, Jesus only seemed to have a physical body and to physically die, but in reality he was incorporeal, a pure spirit, and hence could not physically die.

Pneumatomachianism - While accepting the divinity of Jesus Christ as affirmed at Nicea in 325, they denied that of the Holy Spirit which they saw as a creation of the Son, and a servant of the Father and the Son.

Melchisedechianism - Considered Melchisedech an incarnation of the Logos (divine Word) and identified him with the Holy Ghost.

Monarchism - An overemphasis on the indivisibility of God (the Father) at the expense of the other “persons” of the Trinity leading to either Sabellianism (Modalism) or to Adoptionism.

Monophysitism or Eutychianism - Belief that Christ’s divinity dominates and overwhelms his humanity, as opposed to the Chalcedonian position which holds that Christ has two natures, one divine and one human or the Miaphysite position which holds that the human nature and pre-incarnate divine nature of Christ were united as one divine human nature from the point of the Incarnation onwards.

Monothelitism - Belief that Jesus Christ had two natures but only one will. This is contrary to the orthodox interpretation of Christology, which teaches that Jesus Christ has two wills (human and divine) corresponding to his two natures

Nestorianism - Belief that Jesus Christ was a natural union between the Flesh and the Word, thus not identical, to the divine Son of God.

Patripassianism - Belief that the Father and Son are not two distinct persons, and thus God the Father suffered on the cross as Jesus.

Psilanthropism - Belief that Jesus is “merely human”: either that he never became divine, or that he never existed prior to his incarnation as a man.

Sabellianism - Belief that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are three characterizations of one God, rather than three distinct “persons” in one God.

[triskygames]

(Gotta simplify a few of these entries because Arius is my homeboy and the Chalcedonians are a nitpicky bunch.)

Arianism - Belief that Jesus Christ was created by the Father at a point in time - thus rendering him a nature similar to, but not the same as the Father - and that Jesus’s role as the “Son of God” was a subordinate one.

Dyophysitism (not a heresy) - Belief that Jesus Christ had two distinct natures (human and divine) since the Incarnation.

Eutychianism - Belief that Jesus Christ had two distinct natures (human and divine) since the Incarnation, but at which point his divine nature overcame his human nature.

Miaphasitism - Belief that Jesus Christ had two distinct natures (human and divine) which became perfectly united at the time of the Incarnation.

Monophysitism - Belief that Jesus Christ had one distinct divine nature since before the Incarnation, but at which point either his divine nature overcame or synthesized his human nature.

The Four Clocks of the Apocalypse

[hereticalsuggestions]

So I’m listening to a catholic lecture on the cultural and theological background of the reformation. He presents the systemic problems of priests being immune from criminal prosecution, the breakdown of the policy of celibacy, various accusations of priestly corruption - in the forms of simony, absenteeism, and extortion via the sale of indulgences - as the mise en scène.

Then he says at 36:54 that “it took a neurotic like [Martin] Luther to break the system.”

I’ve listened to these lectures before and he does do a good job of explaining Luther’s criticisms and doesn’t dismiss them out of hand, but golly what a way to poison the well.

Shepherd of Hermas, Mandate 8, 38:8-10

"Sir," say I, "show me the power of the good also, that I may walk in them and serve them, that doing them it may be possible for me to be saved."

“Hear," saith he, "the works of the good likewise, which thou must do, and towards which thou must exercise no self-restraint.

First of all, there is faith, fear of the Lord, love, concord, words of righteousness, truth, patience; nothing is better than these in the life of men. If a man keep these, and exercise not self-restraint from them, he becomes blessed in his life.

Hear now what follow upon these; to minister to widows, to visit the orphans and the needy, to ransom the servants of God from their afflictions, to be hospitable (for in hospitality benevolence from time to time has a place), to resist no man, to be tranquil, to show yourself more submissive than all men, to reverence the aged, to practice righteousness, to observe brotherly feeling, to endure injury, to be long-suffering, to bear no grudge, to exhort those who are sick at soul, not to cast away those that have stumbled from the faith, but to convert them and to put courage Into them, to reprove sinners, not to oppress debtors and indigent persons, and whatsoever actions are like these.”

For every one that hath power hath fear, whereas he that hath no power is despised of all.
