but some of it he does through us
because he’s pleased to include us in his work
just as a loving father sometimes includes his bumbling little children in his work
and laughs with pleasure at their love

made a song inspired by dante's epic
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

**Jeremiah 17:1-5 - King James Version (KJV)**
```Dust
<17> The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is graven upon the table of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars; <2> Whilst their children remember their altars and their groves by the green trees upon the high hills. <3> O my mountain in the field, I will give thy substance and all thy treasures to the spoil, and thy high places for sin, throughout all thy borders. <4> And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue from thine heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, which shall burn for ever. <5> Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord. ```
Does anyone know how accurate the Japanese is on that?
The bits I can read look lefit

However I know nothing of Kanji, so can't confirm
If you haven't cried watching Passion of the Christ your salvation will be called into question
Do i get triple salvation then?
Broke: getting an indulgence to get to heaven quicker
Woke: cry at Passion for the Christ to get to heaven quicker
I think I cried at least 2/3 of the movie, or at least from the flagelation scene to the end
That has made my day.
Source pls?
Not super active in this chat so pardon me for being late here. But Passion was such a good movie. My favorite scene was the flashback with Jesus and Mary while He's building a table.
Interesting that all the (((critics))) don't like the Passion of the Christ 🤔
this is part of a book I want to put together
St Ahmed, an Ottoman nobleman who converted to Christianity through the influence of his Russian concubine and was martyred for his conversion
The Assumption of the Virgin.
I always like to meditate on this most glorious mystery in times of despair. It reminds me that Our Lady had not once lost hope in her entire earthly life. She bore witness to her Son’s humiliation, torture, and execution, and yet she did not lose hope. She remained by her Son’s side, in the hope and knowledge that His day of victory was at hand. Because of this, she is rewarded by an eternity of glory as Queen of Heaven.
We, too, shall be rewarded for maintaining hope in the will of Christ. We ought to, even in the face of such sickening societal degeneracy. For hope in God is righteous, and it is only through righteous men that the will of God shall be done, until He comes again.
During the Granada War, King Fernando received a Letter from the Mameluke Sultan of Egypt warning him that if he did not cease his war with Granada he would destroy the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and kill Christians living in his domain.
King Fernando responded to the threat with his own - That if he should hear of Christians being killed or damage to the Holy Sepulcher he would butcher huge numbers of Moors in his domains.
During the Haitian Revolution, Decolonization in Africa and in South Africa today, Black populations and governments have and are currently threatening and murdering White populations.
If the West really was always such a horribly racist, evil, White Supremacist Civilization, why didn't they ANY Western nation in 200 years ever threatened to massacre Black populations in response to threats to their own citizens and kinsmen in Haiti or Africa as King Fernando of Spain did for Christians?
What does that say about the West was versus what it became?
Sepúlveda was right
Who
Sepúlveda defended the position of the colonists, although he had never been to America, claiming that some Amerindians were "natural slaves" as defined by Aristotle in Book I of Politics. "Those whose condition is such that their function is the use of their bodies and nothing better can be expected of them, those, I say, are slaves of nature. It is better for them to be ruled thus." He said these natives are "as children to parents, as women are to men, as cruel people are from mild people". These assertions in regard to some but not all Amerindians were made in Democrates alter de justis belli causis apud Indos (A Second Democritus: on the just causes of war with Indians) Rome, 1550. Although Aristotle was a primary source for Sepúlveda's argument, he also pulled from various Christian and other classical sources, including the Bible.
