actually lose everything you gain your soul yes you might lose family friends or community but the reward is immense you gain that which can never be taken away you gain freedom you can breathe again you can laugh and sing and dance you could even get a tattoo if you would like or an earring i kid what you really gain is a wide space to stand in infinite possibility you are set free from the prison that you were in and there are those who may even lose their life but they will find a hundred fold more in the life to come god will not let one drop of blood fall to the ground in vain more

read through the old testament has run into the genealogies you know the he beget so and so s that seems to go on interminably but there is a reason for them god promised that he would send a redeemer through abraham through isaac through jacob through david solomon and so forth he promised that through the nation of israel he would redeem every nation on earth israel was his firstborn son and would inherit everything in the heavens and the earth if they were obedient and faithful and so fathers beget sons the lord seeking the godly seed originally the patriarch of the family served as the priest for the family but this went away when aaron and his sons were appointed it wasn t fatherhood that made men priests it was the promise of god pointing to his godly seed for even the sons of levi needed purifying even israel needed redeeming throughout the old testament you read about slaughters murders destruction executions rapes slavery idolatry sacrificing children to molech god eventually cast israel away they would not be the firstborn son that god was seeking jeremiah 15 3 6 rsv 3 i will appoint over them four kinds of destroyers says the lord the sword to slay the dogs to tear and the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth to devour and destroy 4 and i will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth because of what manasseh the son of hezekiah king of judah did in jerusalem 5 who will have pity on you o jerusalem or who will bemoan you who will turn aside to ask about your welfare 6 you have rejected me says the lord you keep going backward so i have stretched out my hand against you and destroyed you i am weary of relenting in case you were wondering how a god of love could do this remember what manasseh did he burned children alive as sacrifices to molech the air of jerusalem was filled with the screams of children and the weeping of mothers but the god of love redeemed even manasseh eventually but that is another story for our story god had cut israel off this is satan s great work he is the accuser he says god how can you be just look at the atrocities that your people are committing and yet you continue to permit them to live how can you be just if you declare them righteous you are the worst judge ever if you declare them guilty then how can they be saved it looks like you are stuck to me the scary part is that satan was right how can a judge be just and allow the atrocities that god allows and if god s justice responds to rape and murder and hate and theft and war and greed and the slaughter and starvation of children then how can he be love but the genealogies continued it is almost as if god wasn t listening everyone is waiting what will he do and while the world waits for god s response like habakkuk on the tower the genealogies continue 1 chronicles 3 16 24 rsv 16 the descendants of jehoiakim jeconiah his son zedekiah his son 17 and the sons of jeconiah the captive shealtiel his son 18 malchiram

seven i know long and dull but in the midst of all of these names there was still hope fathers beget sons and the world waited for the son of david there is even a hint of what is to come shelomith his sister is this about patriarchy rule power strength and control that way already came to a bloody end when jehoiakim was taken captive what does shelomith the daughter of zerubbabel have to do with the promise of the coming son of david hebrew messhiach the anointed c s lewis said through the mouth of aslan there is a deeper magic that the witch doesn t know the lion the witch and the wardrobe she knows about the magic of the natural order she knows about the soul that sins shall die she knows about law and order about justice and all of the begets and she knows how to wage war and pit god s justice against god s love which is really all that patriarchy has to offer but there was a deeper magic that she didn t understand written before the foundation of the world the seed of the woman would crush the head of the serpent through all of the begets one right after another the deeper magic seemed forgotten perhaps god is reminding us by mentioning a daughter that he hadn t forgotten the deeper magic how can a woman has a seed men have seed latin semen there is something outside of and beyond the natural order that will come through and redeem the world of murder and hatred and racism and genocide and death the new testament starts with a genealogy the very first words of the good news the book of the genealogy of jesus christ you have probably skipped it every time you read the christmas story i do too but this year take a minute and go through it each name the heartache the loss the fear of death the judgment the destruction the wars the earthquakes the crucifixions and impalings and slow tortures the harems of the rich the abandonment of the daughters the harsh rule of cruel men and the viciousness of cruel women and the brokenness and loneliness and hunger and want and nakedness and terror the slaves without hope the widows starving at the gates the orphans the desperate the prisoners those condemned to death and another beget and another another another and then jesus christ and please hear me now this is crucial this is the last genealogy in the bible yes i know about luke that is parallel it doesn t come after matthew all of the genealogies from adam through the centuries of pain and promise end with jesus the deeper magic he has no wife and no son and he was the seed of the woman mary the virgin gives birth without a man at all the deeper magic where god s love and god s justice meet in one human the true israel of god the second adam the godly seed the righteous son of david and the heir of all things he is the perfect obedient loving son of god who inherits where adam failed and israel failed and because he was the seed of the woman he begins a new humanity out of the ruins of the old where love and inclusion and peace and justice all kiss each other perfectly he doesn t do away with the human race he delivers it all of the rot and fear and shame and guilt he nails to the cross as the representative of the human race the second adam and lifts it all out of the dust of death at his resurrection and the power of the accuser is taken away and yes his voice is very powerful he alternates between calling for the destruction of the wicked to the destruction of your own heart look at that filth look at it how can god love someone like you and we reply look at the cross better look at the resurrection look at the one who created the universe laying in a manger the power of mankind doesn t save anyone and ends up the same way every time death slaughter of innocents rape abuse and greed a different order is needed where weakness crushes the serpent where bruised heels disarm and destroy the era of patriarchy ended on christmas paul tells us that the seed of the woman born under the law redeems us from the curse of the law and now the blessing of abraham that we will become the heirs of the world is fulfilled in us the curse of the old magic is taken away the blessing of abraham is freely given in christ whether you are male or female slave or free rich or poor you are a firstborn son because jesus is the firstborn son and everything he has he gives to you galatians 4 4 7 rsv 4 but when the time had fully come god sent forth his son born of woman born under the law 5 to redeem those who were under the law so that we might receive adoption as sons 6 and because you are sons god has sent the spirit of his son into our hearts crying abba father 7 so through god you are no longer a slave but a son and if a son then an heir and paul s whole point in the book of galatians is this why on earth would anyone want to return to the law the magic of the natural order it only leaves us condemned the rule of hierarchy of supremacy of patriarchy of might makes right destroys humankind why would anyone want to return the modern lust for patriarchy only brings ruin and death it is disguised as christianity but it is the religion of manasseh we appease the stingy gods with the sacrifices of our wives and our children and maybe if we are hard enough on sinners god will be merciful to us thus the lust to crush and destroy those that the powerful deem as sinners our president vowed to crush somalis we won t be great until we rid the world of garbage this isn t christianity this is baal this is why the modern evangelical church wages war against lgbtqa god can t bless america with this filth and on and on it goes rid the world of sinners so god can bless us again and they will erect the nativity scenes and miss the point entirely it isn t the firstborn seed of the virile man that will change the world it is the seed of the woman in ways you won t ever expect a glass of water a bit of food a place to sleep a kind word and a willingness to endure reproach for being a friend of sinners just as jesus was this is christmas and you can celebrate it aright by ridding yourselves of the remnants of the old magic and embrace the new humanity where all are firstborn sons in jesus

christianity christmas faith god jesus december 1 2025 6 09 pm does god like me you re fat you re stupid no one even likes you you are worthless if it wasn t for me no one would even tolerate you there are millions who were raised by cruel and harsh men and women who have never known a kind word who have never known what it is to be accepted or loved we learn our place in the world from those around us when we are little every child is born looking for someone looking for them does anyone delight in me do i have a place in this world children can t talk all the way through this or make sense of this but they pick up the clues am i safe am i loved am i acceptable in my family i was the weird one i thought that if i could be more like the acceptable people perhaps my mother would love me so i put on so many different types and personalities i learned that i was on my own i didn t have a support group but i also learned that god was like this as well if i could find the formula if i could do everything just right if i could say my prayers right and find out whatever it was i was missing perhaps god would accept me as well and yes i know that jesus paid it all and that god loves me because well he has too doesn t he but does god actually like me have you heard parents that say i love you but i sure don t like you right now i think sometimes that god thinks like this as well maybe he is on his throne saying sam is sure a weirdo no wonder he has problems it s hard to get that voice out of your head especially when it has been engrained in you from infancy and unfortunately we grow and often surround ourselves with the voices we are familiar with you are fat you are lazy you are weird nobody likes you everything you think about yourself is true you are a loser you are weak you are dumb these words surround us continually they eat at the soul these are not the words that we have learned from christ jesus he taught us to use words of truth and grace seasoned with salt edifying to the hearer let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth but what is good for necessary edification that it may impart grace to the hearers eph 4 29 there are so many ways to tear people down with words one of the most insidious is to never revile out loud but just simply let your victim know that they really aren t very likeable perhaps they are weird perhaps they do things differently perhaps they think a little not like you this is the classic passive aggressive bully god hates it this one is close to my heart because i am let s face it weird i cannot small talk for anything i have no idea what is going on in any sporting event i say weird things at weird times i don t have a clue what guys do at my bachelor party two of my friends picked me up from work and said this is your night you can do whatever you want i sat on their couch and stared at them for two hours until they let me go home i m weird there is no situation where i am not awkward no conversation that i can t stop by saying something very weird and most of my life i was absolutely convinced that most people would be far happier if i just went home so i usually did it occurred to me the other day that i have a hard time believing that anyone likes me and then it occurred to me that i carry this belief...
