While I don’t believe we should prostitute ourselves to other people and/or spirits, it’s the fact that most of these penalties Jesus wasn’t glorified in even thinking about and also that many churches worship different parts of Scripture that are easy to take out of context that people are thinking of criminalizing them, just as some Scriptures are already criminalized in Canada. It’s the most absurd thing I can think of. Yet I know the passages they really want to criminalize are those that pertain to mercy and hope, just as the Puritans of the 17th century had been practicing, in essence. They’re the same who wiped out entire people groups in places like the Bahamas and Colombia. Indeed, while it’s not worth it to seek a medium (for they practice communication with the dead ðĪĒðĪĒðĪĒðĪĒðĪĒðĪĒðĪĒðĪĒðĪŪðĪŪðĪŪðĪŪðĪŪ there’s evil spirits that intrude upon this), if we don’t pray for others’ repentance concerning anything (just as we should do with ourselves first), there’s nothing left but a mind of superiority and pride. This chapter is found in page 70 of the NKJV Bible I’m using for this four-translation project, pages 90-91 of the NASB Bible (Old Testament), pages 147-148 of my VOICE copy, and pages 145-147 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.
I also feel like those who know a lot about this sort of thing already think they have the right to judge others and command their demise, even if they haven’t broken any of these commands in this and other chapters. Indeed, I know they’d crucify Jesus if He were to show up in this world again, as if He could die a second time (but see Romans 6:9). For He gets to do whatever He wants, and what He wants is our beliefs to be centered on Matthew 5-7. I also don’t feel like talking about this, for I don’t believe in repeating myself to the unforgiving people that I’m unfortunately stuck with. I don’t even know if I can ever get my debts repaid, ever. Ever. Indeed, the truth is supposed to set people free, as Jesus had said in John 8:32, but I guess the truths the people in the U.S. and in several other parts of the world prefer talking about —- they want to get away with hateful content. And I don’t know how I can use the Scriptures to sew these “loopholes” shut ððððððð I feel like with every victory I have, another power-hungry dude feels safe to disrespect, reproach, and mock God by saying that those who do this with him must be mauled half to death or something. This shouldn’t be legal! Yet I know they don’t want to change this, and they also call Isaiah 10:1-2 much more weaponized than it actually is, not to mention they believe in mandating a core belief system centered in Romans 13:1-7, Hebrews 13:17, 1 Peter 2:17, and others like them. This is an… attack on God’s Word because they pretend to uphold it, as if Romans 3:31 gave them the green light ðĶðĨ to do this ðð ðžââïļð I don’t want to be around them. I’m also starting to get desperate to leave this country in search for any land that’s safe and has less corruption. I also don’t know what I’ll do if someone who hates Jesus notices this and tries to manipulate my mind so as to say the U.S. needs the Gospel more than anyone else and always had been. But I know there’s a lot of unreached people groups in like half the world, so I want to at least try to get to one of them and have some of the people there choose Jesus freely without the authorities noticing and stomping Him out ðððððððð I do understand that what God speaks of in the end of this chapter is not good, though. But He never wanted death for anyone (Ezekiel 18:23, 32, also 2 Peter 3:9) —- I am noticing that people say this in the same vein as being bringers of doom to their families —- oh, I’m sorry, I mean, their subjects —- these people are good at playing God, and I actually think my mental health will suffer beyond recovery if I run into this again ðððððððððððð and the worst part is, I don’t expect God to save the day, since Job was right in what he had said in Job 24 (that chapter is titled, “Job says God seems to ignore wrongs” in the 1995 version of the NASB). God’s statement in Job 42:7 confirms it.
I want to get away from the metro area to spend several days or even a few weeks out of state in a fun resort like Maui, but I know I won’t be able to do this with my income, even if I suddenly got my savings tripled from what it is now. For, again, I have a bunch of student loans to repay, but thankfully, they’re my only debts. Everything else was repaid when I was living with Jonathan… whom I haven’t brought up online and hope to refrain from doing so despite the sickening stuff I’ve learned since I last saw him over three years ago. If someone wants to ask me about this, I recommend doing so in a private email ð§ so he doesn’t find out what I’ve learned since I last saw him, but otherwise, it ruins the whole idea of keeping someone’s identity safe.
One joke I did notice one day in late 2012 was that when Colorado legalized weed, someone referenced verse 13 as if that, should someone sleep with another human being of the same gender, they’d get high ð ð haha I’m sorry, guys ððððððĪĢðĪĢðĪĢðĪĢðĪĢ I don’t believe in doing drugs, though. I wasn’t even thinking of this verse at all today until I went to the bathroom in between writing this paragraph and the previous one ð ððððĪŠ I hope to be careful about what I do to myself, though… I’m not very good at purity, but I guess that’s because purity is worshiped throughout the country, as though someone suddenly losing it guaranteed condemnation to Hell (whether the one who asked them for sex —- if the other human being had consented or not) —- while carnality is indeed worldly and thus pretty strange, the Falwell families didn’t need to show up around the time Ronald Reagan showed up to rule the U.S. during most of the 80s, and the alt-right, the moral majority, the religious groups of both sides (especially among the MAGA freaks today; see the principle of this in Titus 1:10), and other heretical people —- this is why the sexual revolution happened, so that now, there’s not that many heterosexual married couples today… but if a dude felt it was unsafe for him to marry someone, I honestly don’t blame him! Indeed, if this privilege were granted to me, I’d rather be a lot richer, debt-free, and have good character in line with God’s grace and His Word, but I’m not rich in any of that right now ððððððð and I’m turning 35 in just 130 days, so because of what’s happened to me since I turned 18 (iykyk) I don’t think I can move forward with my life in such a fashion unless some unusual miracle happened to me and I had more forgiving people in my life (but both the left and the right, especially Trump and his supporters, again, want to put an end to it —- too many (if not everyone) across this “spectrum” hate Jesus). And after what I’ve done, perhaps even just in my childhood, I don’t know if I actually deserve another upgrade in life. I want Jesus to have His way again, but I also don’t want people of better character traits than I to be discounted of good things, too. But when injustice strikes, it’s pretty much a game over for all the victims, and even with God’s deliverance (if it even happens), it doesn’t seem likely He’ll win without a loss too great for everyone. I actually get the idea we can’t really enjoy Him even in New Jerusalem, because of how horrible the seven-year tribulation (spoken of in Daniel 11:36-39, Jeremiah 30:7, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12, Revelation 6-19, etc.) will play out in the future. Some people think we’re already in tribulation mode, but not all the people groups have some Christians yet. Speaking of which, I pray for hope among all the unreached people groups (3,700+ in all) —- though only about a third of them have no Christians in their population right now. I’m no expert in how any of them operate, but I want to make it so that Jesus returns before any of my nieces pass away, which I don’t want to happen even while I’m still alive ðððððððððð I’d rather die than for any of these adorable ladies to be taken out because of Satan’s hand on my family ððððððððððððððððð I’m sorry if I don’t somehow manage to preach the Gospel to them and if I cannot have them feel free to be themselves… I think offence is a really powerful secret weapon that Satan’s used to accomplish his purposes, and the Church would rather not admit it, for it can stop God from moving or doing His thing, even across the globe for a very long time. I don’t think that’s fair.
I’m feeling pretty creative in my writing, though, so I wonder if I can do Leviticus 21 right after this. If not, I’ll see you some other day! Ciao!
