OK, I wasn’t going to write another Bible note this early in the morning, but after I was beginning to heat up some pasta and meatballs I had cooked hours ago, I believe the Lord Jesus told me to write something else: that we should choose life, both for ourselves and for everyone else (though we can’t force them to do this). And yes, that includes the LGBT+ people, without requiring them to change anything 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💖💖💖💖💖💖💝💝💝💝💝💝💓💗🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🤎🖤🩶🤍 heck, if I could, I’d even gladly look like one of them, think like one, walk, talk, and act like one, all within reason and the Lord’s Word. Indeed, if any of my relatives identified with this sort of thing, I’d commit a huge sin if I didn’t go to their endeavours, including their weddings, even if they married two people at once, I think, and with all three (including the relative) being of the same gender. This passage is found in page 110 of the NKJV Bible I have for this four-translation project, pages 141-142 of the NASB Bible (Old Testament, 1995 version), pages 222-223 of my VOICE copy, and page 226 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.
This choice we have for life or death, good and bad, progress or regression, etc. exists everywhere in the Scriptures, and like in Leviticus 26, we see the blessings for choosing life and the curses of choosing death in chapters 27-28 here. Moses also gives some other directives for the Jordan River crossing in verses 29-32, but rituals weren’t what he was going for. Regardless, he knew Jesus would come to help those he was speaking to (along with their descendants) find freedom from a sinful lifestyle, as he’d mention in Deuteronomy 18:15. It wasn’t exclusive to Israel, though; he had spoken justice for the foreigners like me as well (Deuteronomy 10:18-19). I wish the U.S. was better at it… indeed, I haven’t been able to do much, but I thank God I had discovered last week I had gotten another 20¢ raise at work! I’ll get one every 780+ hours I work if I do maintenance more and more often. I don’t know how long it’ll last, but I’m still grateful the unions and our wages are safe 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 even Mississippi, with its long history of extreme wickedness pretending to be Christianity, may allow unions still, for apparently, they, too, managed to cripple multiple MAGA operations there! I’ve also said concerning Gilbert the last few hours, “I was beginning to worry you’ve lost your way.” And if I could host a banquet for others living there, I’d go, “Come, we’ve saved you a seat.” I do believe the wages in Mississippi should be a whole lot higher, though.
I wonder if you’ve chosen life in Jesus before… if you’re interested, now’s the time to choose Him, just as 2 Corinthians 6:2 says in the second half, “Behold, now is the accepted time, behold, now is the day of salvation” (NKJV). I hope I don’t ruffle your feathers, though, for it says in the next verse, “We give no offence in anything, lest our ministry be condemned by God” (author’s translation). But like in the first half of this decade, when the nationalists were voted out here more than once, they’ll create more and more hateful organisations and claim them to be the Lord’s favourite ministries, boasting the lies that to harm others and rape children is “wise” and “a blessing” and “lovely” 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 Jesus has no more plans of good for those harmful heretics 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️ just as God had said He’d watch over the Judeans who had left Judah for Egypt in a self-imposed exile in fear of Nebuchadnezzar following an insurrection there for their adversity instead of their good in Jeremiah 44:27 (NKJV). I don’t know if there are any descendants of these godless men living there. And I’ve had to use the Jeremiah 42-44 chapters before to try and encourage the right thing. So I relate to Jeremiah and Baruch, for neither of them wanted to be in Egypt. I think they died there 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
It’s almost 3 a.m. where I live, now, so I’m sorry I’ve stayed up so late 😅😅 I am glad I freed tons of space in my phone and my Google storage to keep sending emails 📧 though 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇 I’ll see you in chapter 12!
In Christ,
