Seeking that of God in everyone

A place for me (Jack, 25, they/them) to keep anything I find inspiring, comforting, and challenging in my walk with Christ and the Testimonies of the Religious Society of Friends (a.k.a Quakers, hence the name)

[queerker]

Hello! My name is Jack, they/them, and this is my Christian blog. I'm a 25 year old white Canadian trying to live my life inspired by Christ, my spiritual experience as a queer person, and Quaker Testimony. This includes things like LGBTQ+ theology, intersectional feminism including decolonial and antiracist perspective, and creating a more just and equitable society as Jesus Christ has called us to do.

I believe in sharing the gospel by being a charitable and kind person, not modern missionary evangelism. My inbox is always open for good faith questions or conversation. Blog usage and tagging system may be sporadic at times and I apologise in advance for occasional reblogs meant for my main, I have very large thumbs :(

Thanks for stopping by my lil corner of the internet here :)

I am obsessed with this botched restoration of a 19th century statue of saint anthony

Look at how yassified he is

[plumslices]

Quite scared of how everyone is behaving

“Are you saying that Jesus isn’t fully man” he’s literally not. He’s half deity. Why did you word it like that?

[creature-wizard]

“Jesus was fully human and fully divine” is conventionally accepted doctrine. It’s called the hypostatic union. It’s in the Athanasian creed.

[mcgravin]

Sounds like wormnoodless is recapitulating Eutychianism (Christ exists in one nature and of two), which was rejected by the Fourth Ecumenical Council in 451, instead adopting Dyophysitism (Jesus Christ is one person of one substance and one hypostasis, with two distinct, inseparable natures: divine and human), which is still the main belief of most major denominations.

Sorry, wormnoodless, you’re a heretic.

@apocrypals, do I have it (mostly) right?

[apocrypals]

Correct

Anything other than “fully God, fully man” is heretical

#sometimes the nature of tumblr is that someone accidentally reinvents the great schism (1054) all over again

don't want to have a career just want to have ecstatic visions of Christ

am i important to god? why? i am not anything grand

the clay of your flesh is still warm from where his fingers met to shape you

[churchsideblog]

american "christians" will tell you they don't believe in free handouts and then claim to follow a guy whose most famous miracles include a significant quantity of free handouts

[churchsideblog]

it actually annoys me immensely that people can't hear christians complaining about people being dicks about christianity without going "ugh stupid christian victim complex don't you know that's not REAL oppression?"

YES, actually. i know it's not oppression. i am fully aware that oppression is a different thing with significant impacts on people's lives, and i never claimed to be oppressed. i just don't like it when people are mean about things that are important to me. it's not that deep.

The Sermon on the Mount block print by Sarah Hawkes

[postarcadian]

look I know it’s supposed to be a joke but that “irradiated wasteland” is the unceded homeland of the Paiute and Shoshone peoples and consists of fragile Mojave and Great Basin desert ecosystems that are actively being exploited and destroyed by mining interests who utilize the perception of desert as wasteland to justify their destruction of indigenous lands and communities. the joke's not funny. fuck off with this.

[postarcadian]

also, as to the "irridiated" part of this - here's an article by High Country News on cancer clusters in indigenous communities in the Southwest resulting from nuclear tests at the Nevada Test Site (itself located on the ancestral homeland of the Western Shoshone and Southern Paiute) and the US government's continuing failure to compensate affected families. it's a horrific crime that the US government committed against its own citizens and the joke's not fucking funny.

[postarcadian]

wasn’t expecting this to take off but shoutout to the Australians in the notes - getting fed up with this kind of shitty rhetoric about desert landscapes and erasure of the indigenous peoples that have lived in them for millennia is Australian-Southwestern US solidarity

[neolithicsheep]

I am not native but wanted to jump in and share some pictures from where I live on the western edge of the Mojave at 5200 feet, where it bleeds into the San Gabriel mountains. I moved here from the humid and emerald green southeast and fell head over heels in love with high desert chaparral and juniper-piñon-oak landscapes. There's so much life here! And if you take the time to go slow and sit with the desert, it rewards you by showing you white flowers barely bigger than a grain of sand and hatchling lizards that can sit on a penny and flocks of tiny baby quail following their parents from bush to bush.

Even the yellowjackets here are magical. Back east, in a land where resources are abundant, they are aggro monsters who will sting you as soon as look at you. Here they are as mellow as domesticated honeybees. I walk through swarms of them, I let them land on my bare skin, I fish them out of my sheeps' water trough with unprotected hands, and they never offer to sting.

The only people who think deserts are wastelands are the ones who have never gone slowly enough to see a desert.

Noooo white American don't succumb to nihilism and doomerism it's counterproductive and makes you effectively useless in any discussion about. Anything
