Say God came to you; within a vision, a dream, whatever. And he told you that being gay/bi/trans/nonbinary/any other lgbt identity isn’t a sin. He told you that the bible was written by stupid men hundreds of years ago who misinterpreted what he and Jesus had said. What would you believe then?
Nah I learned that it’s a sin on my own; looking up bible verses, feeling the conviction, asking for forgiveness. I hated myself, that’s what led me to wanting to change and I knew the only way to change was through God. And dude, Jesus IS God
If that was the case anon, then God would have changed His mind and everything that was written in Scripture would have meant He have lied. Last time I checked, God isn’t a liar. So….
Try again anon.
God does not change His view of sin.
Whatever dream, vision etc. that you apparently had was not from God.
“God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?” – Numbers 23:19
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” – Hebrews 13:8
Also, His word does not change either.
“Forever, O Lord, your word is firmly fixed in the heavens.” – Psalm 119:89
“You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.” – Leviticus 18:22
“Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.” – 1 Corinthians 6:9-11
“For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.” – Romans 1:26-27
“Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.” – Jude 1:7
“Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully, understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers, the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine,” – 1 Timothy 1:8-10
“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” – Genesis 1:27
Quit twisting God and His word to justify your sin.
If that happened, anon, I would say “begone Satan! There is no light in you!”
Not to be that ungrateful asshole but i fkn hate the sun & heat & id rather freeze 24/7 than to spend one (1) sec in the heat

Send me a “if I met you”
‘Cause I have nothing better to do with my life rn.
Sylvanas is a Warmonger!

Despite what Blizzard said in the Death Knight’s class hall campaign in Legion, coming back from death must make you insane. Sylvanas Windrunner went from a Ranger-General doing her duty to defend her people in Warcraft III to a straight-up monster who wants to create a world only for the Forsaken. Now with the launch of the Battle for Azeroth pre-launch event, known in lore as the War of the Thorns, Sylvanas has at last shed the mask she had been hiding behind since the Wrathgate and revealed herself to be another warmonger of Garrosh-proportions (then again, Blackhand, Gul’dan, Ner’zhul, beta Grom, and Garrosh, all prove that the Horde – old, new, iron, what have you – is a war machine that eats up the land in order to sustain itself and has only one ethic: might makes right).
Now of course, on account of the immense popularity of the character and the progressive narrative they have been adhering strictly to since Mists of Pandaria, Blizzard has been doing damage control for Sylvanas’ reputation ever since the lore information on Battle for Azeroth was leaked. The first amount of damage control came back in Wrath of the Lich King, when Blizzard – after leaving a paper-trail leading to Sylvanas – turned tail and blamed her dreadlord advisor for the betrayal she had been planning ever since joining the Horde. Recently, with the 8.0 patch and the pre-launch events, the narrative has been to depict Sylvanas as a “caring” and “sacrificing” leader who “only wants the best for her people” and is “forced to act” in response to “Alliance aggression.” All this Hitler-talk aside, the plain fact is that Sylvanas instigated the war, and the impending genocide against the Night Elves with the burning of Teldrassil, on a lie; that the Alliance was stockpiling azerite on Teldrassil.
Now I will demonstrate how Sylvanas’ defense for her indefensible actions is bogus and asinine.

Here is a map of Azeroth. The green X in the bottom left of the map represents the location in Silithus where the Sword of Sargeras pierced the ground, and where the largest quantities of Azerite are located. The red circle represents Orgrimmar, and the blue circle represents Stormwind. The dotted lines represent the quickest way by sea for either the Horde or the Alliance to reach Silithus and the Seething Shore, where they can acquire Azerite.
As you can see, despite Sylvanas’ claims to the contrary, the Alliance does not control Silithus. In fact, after the destruction of Theramore at the hands of Garrosh, the Alliance has no holding in Kalimdor south of Ashenvale. The ones who have the monopoly on Azerite are in fact the Horde; not only to they have the quickest sea route, they also control the land and air routes in southern Kalimdor. Therefore her statement that the Alliance holds the monopoly on Azerite is a lie!
Repeat:
Her statement that the Alliance holds the monopoly on Azerite is a lie!

This map indicates possible attempts by the Alliance to divert Azerite to Darnassus, as Sylvanas uses as her defense for her genocidal actions. The black X indicates the point of interception. As you can see, the Horde, owning the seas around Kalimdor, would have very little problem fielding ships to intercept Azerite transport to Darnassus, either with their own ships going south, or around the north of Kalimdor to intercept the Alliance ships as they approach the island.
Let me iterate in very strong terms that the Alliance holds no ports in Northern Kalimdor. The mountains are too sheer to provide an adequate berthing around the northern end of Kalimdor.

On the other hand, the Horde knows that the Alliance has no safe port for them on Kalimdor, save only for Darnassus. Therefore, as this picture shows, it would be expedient for the Horde to cut off attempts by the Alliance to use Darnassus as a stockpile by simply sending ships there to blockade the tree. As you can see, it would take them less time to send ships to blockade Teldrassil than it would for the Alliance to arrive from Silithus to Darnassus.
But of course, let’s pretend that luck is on the Alliance’s side and they manage to get a ship to Darnassus without being intercepted by the Horde navy (surely they have invisibility spells for that purpose?). Now the Alliance has to pull double duty just to get one shipment of Azerite from Darnassus than they would have to if they just went back the way they came!

By bypassing Darnassus altogether, the Alliance conserves manpower and ships in order to get the prize back to safety. The other way, the Horde has more time to blockade Darnassus or intercept any ships that may leave the lesser World Tree (keep in mind, they control the waters around Kalimdor).
Therefore, Sylvanas’ statement that the Alliance is stockpiling Azerite in Darnassus is a lie.
I repeat:
Sylvanas’ statement that the Alliance is stockpiling Azerite in Darnassus is a lie!
Of course, her defenders would ask “why would she lie?” I mean, it’s not like she covered up her involvement in the Wrathgate when all the evidence pointed at her and NOT Varimathras. We all know she had absolutely NOTHING to do with that!
But in truth, there are a lot of reasons why she would want to commit genocide against the Night Elves (and let’s be honest, that’s what it is: Night Elves aren’t reproducing, and since the Nightbourne joined the Horde, there really isn’t any hope of their numbers increasing). The first and foremost being the age-old enmity between the Night Elves and the High Elves/Blood Elves over the use of magic. After the War of the Ancients, the Night Elves outlawed the use of magic. But a select number of them conjured up a magical tornado and threatened to wipe out the rest of the Night Elves if they weren’t allowed to practice magic: these were exiled to the east, and over the years devolved into the High Elves. The High Elves have always hated the Night Elves as a result of this, and when the Sunwell was destroyed and the High Elves became Blood Elves and saw that the path they had chosen ended in ruin, they chose rather to accept victimhood than admit that the Night Elves were right about magic. On account of this, they joined the Horde; furthermore, they also stoked the fires of distrust among the magic-addicted Nightbourne after a similar event happened between them and the Night Elves, thereby bringing them into the Horde. With the hatred for Night Elves rekindled, the Elven leadership of the Horde would find striking a blow against the Night Elves a tempting target. While the Forsaken can reanimate as many as they want, the Night Elves cannot reproduce.
In conclusion, despite the back-pedaling and damage control by Blizzard and Sylvanas fanboys (ie. bellular, taliesin, nobbel, etc.), the evidence is clear: Sylvanas made an unprovoked attack on the Alliance with no other aim than to slaughter the Night Elves (if not bring them to outright extinction) and kill their spiritual leader Malfurion Stormrage.
anyways… reblog + tag what you smell like according to what does a hero smell like 🍃
