Your Honor He's Just A Silly Guy

Let it be known that I, a pastoral ministry student, have a grudge against Gideon from the book of Judges. I will not elaborate

the man told his son to execute enemy generals when he was a teenager and then said son got murdered by his evil brother. who makes a child murder people what the heck Gideon, you gotta be kideon me I'm aware that Judges is a master class is flawed humans and how they mess up as they get further and further from God but holy heck you just told a child to kill people and then raised your other children so badly that one of them decided to make himself a king and then killed literally all of his brothers except for like. one I mean I just

TL;DR, Judges is one of the hardest books of the Bible for Christians to deal with, to the point that we almost never talk about it.

It's about the brokenness. It's not necessarily about "heroes," it's about how the people spiral away from God further and further until they're unrecognizable and twisted. They move away from the age of prophets advising the people to this mess. It's the bad part, but it points the way to a king in Israel to bring stability, which leads to David and his line, which leads to Jesus. It's the down swing, the painful reminder of how evil humanity can become. It's a snapshot of our sin. It's becoming a monster not just to God but to people. I'm screaming

Headcannon that due to diligently monitoring the Wayne family’s media image, Alfred is chronically online, and as such, is constantly dropping slang into conversation like-

(Over the coms)

Batman: Alfred, what’s the update on the Arkham situation?
