How would you respond to the claim that Jesus and/or Paul took Old Testament passages out of context?
I would ask them what passages specifically they’re referring to and then look at exactly what the context is of those two passages. In instances like these when someone makes a broad-spectrum statement, it’s good to make them be specific and look at each piece individually.
A secular argument can be made for Paul taking things out of context because he is human, but Jesus is claiming to be God. From that, we have two conclusions: either Jesus is God and therefore unable to take text out of context because He determines the context, or Jesus is not God and the entire Bible/Christianity is void.
Obviously, I, believing that the Bible is complete and without error, believe that any OT passages Paul and Jesus reference are within the appropriate context. Jesus, being God, is without sin; Paul, being divinely inspired by God, is infallible in His biblical writings.
What are your headcannons regarding the origins of some of the Batman '66 villains that they never explained on the show or in the comics, like Egghead, Siren, Minstrel etc?
*shuffles through my mountains of Batman ‘66 notes* I am so glad you asked...
My guesses are that most of them started out as pretty menial or everyday workers--Egghead worked as a food processing factory hand, Shame as a dolly grip on a film set, the Puzzler as a teacher, the Bookworm as an unsuccessful freelance author, the Archer as a community theater actor, and the Minstrel as a struggling singer. Being a rogue is a pretty glamorous lot in Gotham City since you’re never out of the papers, so they figured it would be a lot more fun to turn to crime instead of continue on with their normal lot in life. Of course, Batman was quick to show them that crime doesn’t pay.
Louie the Lilac and Ma Parker are career mobsters. It’s safe to say being a criminal runs in the family, so they just followed what they thought was their natural path.
The Sandman and Minerva were always crooked business owners who formerly hadn’t aspired to anything bigger than money-laundering. Becoming a high-profile criminal was just the next step up.
The Siren was always the kind of person who would rather cause trouble than make an honest living; ever since she found out she was a metahuman as a little girl, she got a lot of mileage out of making her classmates do what she told them. Singing professionally is fun, sure, but not as much fun as pulling off the perfect crime.
Marsha Queen of Diamonds and Black Widow were similar, except they were willing to be a little more secretive. Judging by Black Widow’s vastly different appearance in the comics, I can surmise that she’s actually a witch as opposed to Marsha only playing at being one, and that gave her a boost of power that enabled her to toy with and kill the men who got close to her. Both of them loved being important and being the center of attention, but whereas Black Widow was driven to murder from a broken heart and never looked back, Marsha just rolled with the convenient accident that caused her first husband’s death and used it to her advantage.
Nora Clavicle was a member of the 1968 roster of the Court of Owls, an underground group of rich asswipes masquerading as charitable activists when in reality they just want to see Gotham run rampant with crime. She was never a feminist--she just wanted a convenient trustworthy label to get by in high society.
Lord Ffogg and Lady Peasoup also got into crime for the fun of it--if you’re relatively unimportant members of the aristocracy no one ever pays attention to, you’ve got to make your name somehow. And if it involves thumbing your nose at the other lords and ladies stealing your spotlight, so much the better. Lady Peasoup especially was a childhood troublemaker and wanted to raise “her girls” the same way.
The Clock King and Jervis Tetch--or rather, the man calling himself Jervis Tetch (the Mad Hatter in the comics at the time was an imposter, so I’m rolling with the theory that Show!Mad Hatter is also an imposter)--were also career thieves after being driven out of the art community. The Clock King was a little kinder and gentler than his considerably bloodthirstier cousin, but they both turned to crime to lash out against the communities that rejected them.
And then of course there’s Dr. Cassandra, last in a long line of alchemists who succeeded where her ancestors failed. Turning to crime just felt like the biggest and best outlet for her accomplishments, especially with her husband’s encouragement.
That’s all I’ve got so far! If anybody has additional headcanons, come hit me up!
They had all the Avengers episodes from Cathy Gale to Tara King to watch for free on tubitv, now the site has taken them off. So ticked! Now it'll be tough to find them all.
Oh no! There are versions of many eps available on Daily Motion and on Archive.org - it takes some searching sometimes, but they’re there. Amazon I think has all the seasons for digital sale at about $10 per season.
oncerbat reblogged your photo:This was the most shocking thing this episode
I still don’t get this. How the heck are there two Grannys? Is one a shapeshifter?
I have no idea. I think when Garfield asked Metatron whether Gretchen Goode was Granny Goodness, he said “yes and no” which makes me think it might be a clone?
which TV show has the best musical soundtrack, in your opinion?
Oh gosh ahhhh this has changed but rn Tangled is winning
have you ever watched a show just for a specific actor? did you enjoy it?
Hm, I don’t think so, I don’t pay too much attention to actors. I think I have been interested in seeing a few though because of an actor Patrick Stewart
have you ever written fanfiction for a TV show?
BAHAHAHAHA
I’ve had my fanfiction.net account for years. I’ve written for Sailor Moon, Kids Next Door, Fairly Odd Parents, Animaniacs, Tangled. Pokemon you name it every show I’ve been into
favourite TV show theme song?
I really liked Pokemon Season 22′s theme song, regular pokemon theme song, Pokemon Johto, and the BW theme song
Other than Pokemon I‘m really digging Kim Possible’s theme
Are you sure that’s Lee Meriwether? Because it looks more like the girl who played Cleo Patrick from “The Spell of Tut/Tut’s Case is shut to me” I’ve never seen this pic before though!
omg no you’re right, it’s Marianna Hill! the site i got it from had a wrong description and i was too tired to notice it since the actresses look alike from afar. thanks, i’ve fixed it!
