Lesser-known waifu: not Calvin's mom
The whole story is really cute btw ^w^
Christians: Does it matter if Jesus' resurrection was literal and bodily or not? I'm just curious what you think.
I believe that Jesus rose bodily and it matters a lot
I believe that Jesus rose bodily and it is not key to my faith
I believe Jesus did not rise bodily and it matters a lot
I believe Jesus did not rise bodily and it's not key to my faith
I fall somewhere between these
see results
Make no mistake; if he rose at all It was as His body; If the cell's dissolution did not reverse, the molecule reknit, the amino acids rekindle, the Church will fall. It was not as the flowers, each soft spring recurrent; It was not His Spirit in the mouths and fuddled eyes of the Eleven apostles; It was as His flesh; ours. The same hinged thumbs and toes The same valved heart That âpiercedâ died, withered paused, and then regathered out of the enduring Might New strength to enclose. Let us not mock God with metaphor, Analogy, sidestepping, transcendence, Making of the event a parable, a sign painted in the faded Credulity of earlier ages: Let us walk through the door. The stone is rolled back, not papier-mache, Not a stone in a story, But the vast rock of materiality that in the slow grinding of Time will eclipse for each of us The wide light of day. And if we have an angel at the tomb, Make it a real angel, weighty with Max Planck's quanta, vivid with hair, opaque in The dawn light, robed in real linen Spun on a definite loom. For let us not seek to make it less monstrous, For our own convenience, our own sense of beauty, Lest, awakened in one unthinkable hour, we are embarrassed By the miracle, And crushed by remonstrance.
- John Updike, "Seven Stanzas at Easter"
ââ1 Corinthians⏠â15:12â-âŹ19⏠âNLTâŹâŹ [12] But tell me thisâsince we preach that Christ rose from the dead, why are some of you saying there will be no resurrection of the dead? [13] For if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised either. [14] And if Christ has not been raised, then all our preaching is useless, and your faith is useless. [15] And we apostles would all be lying about Godâfor we have said that God raised Christ from the grave. But that canât be true if there is no resurrection of the dead. [16] And if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised. [17] And if Christ has not been raised, then your faith is useless and you are still guilty of your sins. [18] In that case, all who have died believing in Christ are lost! [19] And if our hope in Christ is only for this life, we are more to be pitied than anyone in the world.
Honestly, to any fellow neurodivergents that struggle with doing tasks: have you tried doing the task intentionally badly?
I'm serious. I always used to struggle with getting schoolwork done on time. Then one day, out of a place of spite, I tried to write the shittiest assignment the teacher ever damn graded. (It was a stupid assignment.) Got fed up with the bit halfway through and began writing the assignment in earnest. This has helped me start shit halfway since.
Even if it doesn't work like that for other people, half-assed is better than not finished. Half ass cleaning? Guess what, the space is still cleaner.
If you are reading this, I encourage you to try that thing you are procrastinating on or struggling with using the minimum effort possible.
I should read Eifelheim again
Book where the medieval priest sends a letter off to... either his bishop or a different scholarly cleric he knows and trusts, I don't remember... asking "settle a question for me: if there were men not descended from Adam, and very different in shape and form, what would their theological status be? would they still fall under the Redemption?"
And his correspondent sends back a reasoned discussion leading to "Yes, these hypothetical men would still fall under the Redemption and need the Sacraments like everyone else."
So he goes "Okay!" and baptizes the aliens who he's been evangelizing since their spaceship crash-landed outside his village.
Something that sucks about being on tumblr when you live in a very forward time zone is that I wake up to all these notifications that today is something cool, like Bilbo & Frodo's birthday, only for me that was actually yesterday and I missed it đ˘

Yes it's okay for characters to stay single. It's also okay to suddenly reveal the entire pirate crew is made up of men with noble blood so they'll be suitable matches for the Major Generals daughters. We need a variety of stories in the world.
King Arthur and Robin Hood and Sherlock Holmes are the same. to me.
This one?
YES THANK YOU
Other thoughts to come, but I need to register how flat I find his attempt to situate the Incarnation in a broader cosmology where itâs one center among many centers in the sphere of salvation. I can see why heâs doing it, but I just donât vibe.
There's a few places where Lewis' attempts to reconcile theology into the story fall flat, but I can't discuss them without spoiling the book for you. I find it best to move on and recognize that any constructed world too close to our own will inevitably have such problems.
Narnia, to discuss an instance that I hope won't spoil you, has this problem majorly in the Death and Resurrection of Aslan.
I'll quote Lewis here, for clarity:
"(But remember, if there are other worlds and they need to be saved and Christ were to save them as He wouldâHe may really have taken all sorts of bodies in them which we donât know about.)" - Lewis, Letters to Children ~ Lyle W. Dorsett and Marjorie Lamp Mead, parenthesis original
I never exactly felt comfortable with this, as it (I believe, unintentionally) flies in the face of what is explicitly stated in Hebrews 7:27, that Christ "sacrificed for sin once for all when He offered up Himself."
Since, in Lewis' telling, Narnia shares a parallel timeline with our own world, I don't really think a second Passion would have been necessary.
I can't say more without spoilers. Enjoy the rest of the read!
It's a recurring problem in Christian flavored portal fantasy. I don't think it's theologically plausible, and if I think about it too much it's a bit uncomfortable, but because it's so powerful as an image / allegory, I kinda prefer the "don't think about it too hard" approach.
There's also the bit about mankind being made in the image and likeness of God.
How do we fit sapient non-humans into this equation?
In Perelandra we're almost explicitly told that the King and Queen are, as the new Adam and Eve of that world, also made in God's image. But what about the other sapient races of the setting? They also have souls that go on to eternal life, but they're clearly not in the same, at least physical, image. As I recall, Lewis struggled with this in Narnia as well, such as the details in PC and TLB where some of the animals forget how to talk and revert to bestial minds. And yet the animas are also judged on the Last Day.
Don't get me started about Merlin. He's 100% a gray "don't think about it too much or the story falls apart" area in the book. Especially when the Oyarsa possess him. The holy angels, canonically, are unable to possess people, so this is clearly a bite of Lewis' creative liberty at play.
The image of God isn't about people's physical shape. It means that people were created possessing the spiritual image of God. Not that we were created this way because God had two hands, feet, etc. Rather, the properties of sapience, relationality, creativity, rationality, emotions, and others constitute the image of God. So I have no concerns on that end.
Yes - I think realistically speaking if there are intelligent aliens, then physical shape is less relevant than being an embodied rational soul (ie can know and love) and the historical crucifixion must be sufficient for all embodied rational souls.
I wrestled with this when I read the space trilogy before (like 10+ years ago?) but mostly set it aside to enjoy the story. Iâm finding it harder to do that this time. I do think itâs a mistake to downplay in any fashion the singular stamp of the Incarnation. If he was more fantastical in the stories and not so close to the actual truth of things, heâd have had an easier time.
I have some unformed thoughts related to this about his treatment of myth - including the identities of the Oyarsas of Venus and Mars. And I dimly remember whatâs coming in That Hideous Strength. Iâll wait til I get through it and see how it hangs together.

I said, outside Lichfield Cathedral, to a friend of my youth â long since dead of gas-gangrene (God rest his soul; I grieve still) â 'Why is that cloud so beautiful?' He said: 'Because you have begun to write poetry, John Ronald.' He was wrong. It was because Death was near, and all was intolerably fair, lost ere grasped. That was why I began to write poetry.
