Should I make a side blog to use exclusively for reblogging silly nerdy stuff? I kinda want to do that.
Tumblr is a place to express yourself, discover yourself, and bond over the stuff you love. It's where your interests connect you with your
It has been made, for those who want to see my nonsense
Hi everyone I'm still alive and well lol
I don't expect to use this blog much for the foreseeable future, but can probably answer the occasional ask if I am sent any
Christian denominations stop fighting on my dash I’m trying to unwind
As long as there is breath in my body I will oppose the Filioque!
The son clearly sends the Spirit. How else do you read John 15:26?
(I'm so sorry @saintprocula <3)
Every property of God is either shared by all three persons or is unique to one single person. The unique properties of the persons are as follows; the Father is the Source, the Son is the Begottenness (or manifestation), and the Spirit is the means of our participation. There's a biblical analogy I like; the Father is the light itself, the Son is the radiance of that light, and we are illumined by the Holy Spirit.
What the filioque is in danger of doing is saying that the property of being a source, which should only belong to the Father, applies to both the Father and the Son, giving a property to two persons. This breaks the rule of "one or three" and thus lessens the Holy Spirit by putting it below the Father and the Son, making such an understanding heretical.
The thing that some Catholics will point to is that this issue is only explicit in the specific meaning of the Greek translation of the word for "proceeds," which is why Catholic rites that speak in Greek are encouraged not to use the filioque addition, and that the Latin word of "procidit" for "proceeds" allows for an understanding that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father through the Son, meaning that the Son is merely calling upon the Holy Spirit, not acting as a source. This is a true observation.
That last part has to do with what John 15:26 is showing Christ doing - calling upon the Holy Spirit and sending it forth, from the Father through His person as the Son. It's one of His persons, after all, so it makes perfect sense. It does not mean that the Spirit proceeds directly from the Son, as that is heresy, and the filioque is certainly not necessary to understand John 15:26.
So that's where the main issue with the filioque comes from - the fact that it has lead some people to so misunderstand the Trinity.
My grandmother has double pneumonia, and given her age she isn't going to recover. The doctors expect that she has at most six months left. I'd appreciate some prayers.
My dad is currently trying to use the "it's about giant robots" bait to get me to play a tabletop war game he just found with him
Is it BattleTech?
It's a brand new game made by a YouTube channel he watches (Bill Makes Stuff, I think) called Bangarang in the Gutterlands

EVERYONE knows that one of the most beautiful parts of any chamber piece ever is the cello duet in the first movement of Schubert's String Quintet and that the saddest thing ever is when the duet is taken over by the two violins
it's so beethover / we're so bach

Beginner cellists use open strings because they aren't skilled enough to do otherwise
Intermediate cellists don't use open strings because they have the skill to be able to do otherwise
Advanced and professional cellists use open strings because they've figured out that open strings are awesome actually
You know the piece is a banger when an entire classroom of musicians start doing the classical musician's modest equivalent of headbanging as the teacher plays it
Is it common for the sons of priests to become priests, or for the daughters to marry priests? I just think it'd be cool that while raising the next generation of Christians, the dad can help the son learn his career as he grows up, and the daughter can learn from her mom. Just guessing but I expect being a priest's wife (is there a word for it?) is a lot more than normal wife and mom stuff and has a lot of community roles like being a maternal figure to the parish, maybe? I just think it'd be cool if a priest got sick if his son could step in while the dad recovered. Or a priest being able to say his dad was a priest, and his dad, and his, over generations going back centuries. Like the holiness would double every generation and if you went to do an exorcism as soon as the priest got in the room he was so holy the demon ran away screaming!
It is actually a pretty common thing for sons of priests to carry on the tradition -- my mother's family has at least one priest per generation, for example. Same thing about daughters of priests marrying priests (my mother did this, after all). In such cases, I'm sure instruction from the parents is immensely helpful in the children's future lives as priests and presbyteras (this is the Greek title for a priest's wife, other traditions have different titles). Of course, not all children of priests go on to follow their parents' footsteps and there are plenty of priests and presbyteras whose families have no precedent, but it does follow that priests' kids have a real tendency to become priests.
I should quickly note that as fun as the idea of extra holy bloodlines and households is, the Bible makes a string point that familial connections do not have any hold on one's holiness. A building can certainly be blessed by virtue of having a holy person or holy people living within it, but let's just err on the side of caution and not imply that being in a household with one or more priests automatically makes the place more blessed!
Does God understand if you're autistic or just plain dumb. I think i might be one but I'm not sure which.
I have problems understanding what people say and it's got me a reputation for being selfish and lazy. I used to think I was good picking up emotions if i read it or overhear a conversation. But when it said to me I just go blank.
Like someone might say "Man, I could sure use a glass of water", and yeah it must sound stupid to a normal people but to me that's not asking me that's making conversation. I truly don't hear it as an ask if it's in that passive voice.
Five minutes later I'm getting yelled at for not getting the water. But they didn't actually ask me! They said it in some indirect way and then get mad when they weren't clear.
Or I'm reading and my mom tells me to some chore "next time I get up to go to the bathroom". Ok. Then she's yelling at me for not doing it. But I didn't go to the bathroom yet! Why didn't she say she wanted it right away then?
This has gone on literally since i can remember, and now I'm just known as the selfish one who would sit there and watch people die instead of getting up to get their pills. It's gets me real down that I'm a bad person and will go to hell and everyone would be better off without me.
Ive even tried telling them i don't understand but they don't believe me and treat it like the lamest excuse ever like oh now I'm too lazy to even defend myself. So i just stay silent and keep all the frustration inside. You know by now I've worked out this "code" and sometimes i ignore it even when i know what they're asking just to encourage them to be clear. and they still won't do it!
I sometimes wonder if people feel uncomfortable asking people to do things, and so they say it in this passive voice hoping someone will volunteer. And when they do, they can say, "well i didn't actually ask them to do it, so that's ok". But when i don't they get mad because i didn't "play along" and so they have to admit, to anyone they're with and themselves, that they were asking. Thanks anyway.
I'm sorry that you are feeling the way as you do, and that people are treating you as they are.
To me it sounds to me like you have been unlucky enough to have spent your life around the wrong people. It's not normal to loosely imply you want something and expect someone to just know what to do, or to get mad when someone fails to do something you didn't even directly ask for in the first place as the people you're describing do. In fact, there are a lot of people out there who struggle with the same things as you do. A lot of these people are very successful and happy people -- what you are going through is not an indicator that you are any lesser than people who don't.
And if anyone is going to know about and understand what is going on with you, it's going to be God (He did make you, after all), and He loves you and sees great purpose for you (as He does for everyone). If anything, it's a disrespect to God to think of yourself as "plain dumb" for having your struggles -- take your struggles and ask God for help dealing with them, and don't beat yourself up over it.
My mom, forgetting that she and I are professional musicians that can easily sing any part of a choral score without much practice, "could you send me the music your college parish uses for the Agios? I'd like to try it at out at our home parish" lol good luck mom
SORRY student composers I DON'T OWN AN iPAD AND NEVER WILL
You should plan out parts and how to make page turns possible instead of just writing a score and assuming page turns don't matter because everyone is using their Bluetooth footpedals to turn pages on iPads :) It's not my fault you didn't do your job - not everyone you meet or who may want to play your music in the future will have an iPad.
WHY are there SO MANY porn bots in fandom tags lately
And why are these ones so explicit compared to previous waves of porn bots??
I have decided that it is time to teach myself how to read Byzantine Notation
