You know you've been LaTeXing too much when you start to mistake slashes for backslashes and parentheses for curly brackets. >___<

Maybe I should take less offense at people who think that apostles are no longer among us.

Sometimes I wonder why non-Christians make such a big deal out of death, and then I remember, "Oh wait, it is a big deal to them."

ILLINOIS
By SUFJAN STEVENS
see relatedJust can't see it
Sometimes, it's really really annoying when people can't see the good you're doing (and for whatever reason you just can't tell them), and then they assume you're just doing nothing and wasting your life.
But hey, come Judgment day, when all the secret things will be revealed, they'll be like, "Oh. I guess you really weren't wasting your life. Oops."
*sigh*
Well, whatever, I don't need to defend myself. The Lord will do that for me. Eventually. If not now, then later. But He for sure will give me what I deserve.

This is an ANGRY rant
An open letter to Christians:
I no longer believe in sanctification (or rather, what has now become the commonly accepted meaning of that term). You're not saved so that you could be holy. The holiness that comes from the imputation of righteousness already comes with the forgiveness of sins. You're saved so that you could love people.
Please condemn me as a hippie antinomian heretic now, okay? Thanks.
P.S: You're the kind of people who only believe that Jesus was sinless because that's what you've been told. If anyone came close to even living the way He did now, you'd condemn them as a glutton, a drunkard, a sinner, or demon-possessed.

Conflicted
Both Moses and Paul said very interesting things in Exodus 32:31–32 and Romans 9:1–3. Goes something along the lines of "I wish I myself could go to hell for the sake of my people." And I think I now get what they meant.
I love my God so much more than I love any other person. Even so, I would choose to be forever separated from my Lord, my greatest love for the sake of someone else. And this does not mean that I love that person more than I love my God. But I simply cannot bear the thought of that person being separated from the Lord. If it were up to me, and it was between me and them, I would take a hold of them and hurl them into heaven's gates, though they may not realize what it is that they just have gained, and as I watch the gates close, I would fully realize what I have lost, and have it no other way.
Did not Jesus endure hell, the separation from the Father, that we may obtain His rewards? Shall not we be willing to do the same?
My soul cries out for the return of the Lord. Come, Lord Jesus, come, that I may be clothed with life, that I may see Your reign, that I may drink fully of Your glory. But I plead, o Lord, that you delay you return a little longer, for my work is not finished, and there are people who have yet to hear Your name, and to these must I go, lest they be crushed in Your return. -

The Black Parade
By My Chemical Romance
see relatedSo Be It
"Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person’s enemies will be those of his own household. Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it."—Matthew 10:34–39"I came to cast fire on the earth, and would that it were already kindled! I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how great is my distress until it is accomplished! Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. For from now on in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three. They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law."—Luke 12:49–53

Less Than Three
Somehow I think the fact that my first relationship is a long-distance one was the best thing that could've happened to me this summer. There's just something about an LDR that forces communication, and lots of it. Never before did I understand the love between a man and a woman.
On a related note, it is simply self-deception to think that I can care for someone else more than God cares for that person.

About Me

I'm really a clone in a long line of clones. When I was born, it was found that I had a genetic abnormality that caused my head to explode after two weeks. Before the original exploded, however, a clone-producing facility of alien origin was created to produce a line of clones at the rate of at least one clone per two weeks.
