Upon reading Leviticus 18… I don’t know what to say, honestly… I guess the area Israel was going to take some time after this Scripture was composed by Moses — that must’ve been filled to the brim with all kinds of inappropriate relations, if you know what I mean. I also notice in the VOICE version of this passage that verse 5 is quoted in Romans 10:5 and Galatians 3:12, saying, “The law is not of faith.” Also, I accidentally deleted this twice, but was able to recover it the second time. Sorry. But this chapter is found in pages 68-69 of the NKJV Bible I’m using for this project (it doesn’t seem right to joke about the number 69 anyway, since… it creeps me out), pages 88-89 of my NASB Bible I’m using for this (Old Testament), pages 145-146 of my VOICE copy — I managed to delete it a third time, but thank God I recovered it again! — and pages 143-144 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.
These should be obvious to others, but no need to say anything in a land that hates those who do anything between adults (yet sex with children must be forbidden in all cases) if consensual, but I don’t enjoy sin anyway. What I don’t understand, though, is why someone would use anything here or even in a different (but unrelated) passage as a weapon… I wish I knew why people love power so much. This and many other questions I have, but I should save them for a sozo at church tomorrow morning at 10. But the next chapter… much of it can be alluded to in James 5. I first noticed that in late 2012, before I found the reference in a study Bible I used to read… before I found out it was heretical, the study Bible (for it was the ESV, which I should’ve known was a Calvinist translation and thus un-Christian to every extent). Indeed, I wish I could actually use my faith to do something lovely here. But in the meantime, I’ll see you in the next chapter!
