Is God Apathetic To Those Who Are Disabled? An Analysis Of Leviticus 21 (08/18/2025)

Posted on by Ron Outland

These verses, I think, are what the devil uses often to convince people that the disabled humans (the blind, deaf, crippled, neuro divergent, those born addicted to drugs, etc.) that they don’t matter, and that’s not God’s heart. For verses 17-24 were what the Israelites wanted, and the note the VOICE copy writes only excuses the worthlessness they worshiped. Don’t you remember that God didn’t want Aaron to be Moses’ mouthpiece? (Refer to my note of Exodus 4.) I wrote about this nearly five years ago. Sorry it’s taken so long to be nearly 3/4ths of the way through the very next book 😅😅 but this chapter is found in pages 70-71 of the NKJV Bible I have for this project (mentioned in the previous note), page 91 of the NASB Bible (Old Testament), pages 148-149 of my VOICE copy, and pages 147-148 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.

I wrote the previous note in my room, several miles from the library, and I’m writing this note right after that one in my room, too. I still don’t have a working laptop 💻 or computer 🖥️⌨️ but that’s OK, for I can still use my phone 📱📲📶🛜📳 to write texts and other things, as long as it holds out. If it breaks and I can’t fix it, I’ll have to get it replaced, often for a higher price for probably less quality than this one. I don’t think it’s right that productivity is worshiped, though. When they try to mandate this, I’ll refuse, for I love God and will obey Him by not even doing anything work-related, regardless of what context it is. I’m surprised they don’t enforce it in Utah or even North Korea… but I know Mormonism is the most ridiculous popular cult there is, next to the Calvinism-Arminianism dichotomy, which they’ve made into a spectrum, which I knew to be a lie. I learned this in mid-2013. I found out by God’s Word that the political spectrum in this country is a lie almost five years ago, too, around the time I wrote the post I had referenced earlier this evening.

I do think it’s good they have decided to give all disables humans some level of service in many parts of the world, but I knew that when my mom tried to force me to take social security, it wouldn’t be enough to pay my debts, and even to this day, despite earning nearly 15 bucks an hour every time I work, it’s still not enough, partly due to the inflation and partly due to housing often becoming inaccessible when I need it. I mean, I thank God I have a roommate and friend I have a lot in common with, but I’d love to find a wife someday. I don’t expect that to happen, though. Indeed, I’m scared some of the single women I know, ten of whom I find interesting, will die on me because they’re too good for this world 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔 they’re all too young to die, just like me… I still remember how painful 2022 had been when I lost five friends, an 86-year-old coworker, and my grandmother (she was 81) —- I hope my dad’s stepfather, who’s 96 or 97 years old, is still alive (I just saw him in Prescott five months ago) —- the five friends were between 25 and 32 years old 💔💔💔💔💔 Regan, the 25-year-old, was the youngest, and she was done in by her abusive husband 😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔 I still love that she prayed for people nonstop until like 2 am on many nights she had been alive, and she also gave multiple Bibles to others. And I had given two to some of the people on my block (along with 60 bucks to one of them, who had gotten his rent money stolen from him by his roommate) before I had learned of any of that. I have two Bibles for someone to receive, and they’ll total 15 since I started doing that in early 2022. I do wish I could find someone in my church to distribute them to, though, if they’ve never been to one before. And I don’t want this to become about my own glory by doing the Lord’s work, so I pray for the right human beings to give these to.

If we need help for believing God loves the disabled, we can simply take a look at what Jesus did throughout His ministry (such as Matthew 8-9, John 9, Luke 7, etc.) —- I love how He gave His life for our healing, just as Isaiah wrote in Isaiah 53:5 that by Jesus’ stripes (being whipped repeatedly) we are healed 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💝💝💝💝💝💘💓💞💕💟❣️💌❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🩷🤍🩶🖤🤎 Peter later references this in 1 Peter 2:24.

I don’t want to leave out that there were certain things priests should do… they probably had a stricter regimine than the civilians did. James 3:1 says also that most of us shouldn’t become teachers, since we all make many mistakes (James 3:2 (NASB)). I know I don’t want to run back to the same sins I’ve once found fascinating… I don’t even know how we become infatuated them them… I know I often think I’m getting better at fighting it, but when we think like this, we’re not controlling sin, but sin is actually in control instead. And the phrase “God is in control” isn’t found anywhere in the Scriptures, so I know they’ve come up with this saying to try and make everyone believe everything works according to His plan every time, so declaring God being first in rank to deny anything is an atheist move which He will never forgive. It reminds me of Jeremiah 6:14.

I don’t know what I’ll be able to do when it comes to releasing later chapters and verses in future Bible notes, for I know they want to make me believe hope doesn’t exist despite the fact they run many of the country’s churches, so I hope I can keep a low profile about all of it. I don’t know how I’ll be able to do that if I can detect someone hiding secrets from me, though. Indeed, if they are, I’ll soon believe all the more that too many people have something to hide, and will even be caught up in believing it’s not good to be private when needed, whether I can be safe to write something godly or not. I feel I’ve seen too much, actually… I don’t know who I should give a chance to when it comes to even a simple thing like friendship next. I can’t bring up what I’ve discovered about others on here, either. Maybe I should write about it in my spare time? I can’t say… but I hope to see you in chapter 22! (haha that rhymed)

Oh, Jeez, More Laws (Leviticus 20) [08/18/2025]

Posted on by Ron Outland

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 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 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 😓😓😓😓😓😓😓 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 🚦🚥 to do this 😒🙅🏼‍♂️🛑 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 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 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 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔 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 📧 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 😅😅 haha I’m sorry, guys 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 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 😅😄😆😜🤪 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 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 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 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I’d rather die than for any of these adorable ladies to be taken out because of Satan’s hand on my family 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔 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!

I’ve Been Meaning To Do This For Quite Some Time…

Posted on by Ron Outland

So, back in early June, someone emailed me about her sister’s wedding, and I gave her some good ideas for it (I’ll be alternating between writing this and double-checking her post she wrote about it) —- I’ll be looking at each paragraph today, for I’ve been busy with work and I’m not good with checking my emails, like, at all 😅😅

So firstly, the post starts with showing up for the kids the Church forgot. And last night, I was posting on my Instagram story about some girls in Kenya that are in danger of child marriage (I can’t believe this still occurs today) and when I chose a song for it I started crying BAD. But thank God we don’t need to leave our homes to try and provide hope to the little humans somewhere else, thanks to Internet giving. Indeed, I often forget about the dangers the U.S. children face unless I’m at work, but I’m glad she let me know about asking teachers, social workers, and youth pastors to provide safety for those facing abuse at home… but I don’t think there’s enough abusive content that’s criminalized. I could go on and on about this all day, though.

I’m also glad she wrote about kids not needing grand gestures but that we shoe consistency instead. I pray God helps me to do this… I often feel trapped in a precarious place while I notice ANY family because I know there’s a very high chance a little human or two is being bullied at home, and often I can’t do anything about it, for they messed with the laws akin to Isaiah 10:1-2. A bit off-topic: why should ANYONE claim this passage is weaponized much more than Romans 13:1-7 is?! I know they love unjust power, for I did some research with ChatGPT last week about this, the answer of which I’ll post in a week or two, God-willing.

The author of that post also wrote that writing a check does indeed help, but if we have children in our lives, we need to show up A LOT. I wish I could be present with my nieces and their half-sister every day… they just live in Phoenix and I’m like 50 miles to the southeast, plus, I don’t have a car, and I need to save BIG for my student loan repayments. Thank God I still probably don’t need to pay for anything (I had signed up for a zero-payment plan several years ago, before COVID-19 had happened).

She’s also right about trust healing hearts. It’s too bad the U.S. has a lot of violence, either here or causing it overseas, but for those who don’t want any of that, good. A low-crime area like Gilbert is likely a high-trust area, and I’m privileged to have lived there for several years not they long ago (I often dream about going back). So starting a nonprofit can be based on a high-trust community, and we need that trust to raise money for that, seeing there’s sometimes a fraudulent organization that serves only themselves (Scripture repeatedly warns against this) 😓😓😓😓😓 but if we give to a good organization and see where the money actually goes to, that’s God’s call to keep giving whenever possible 💝💝💝💝💝💖💖💖💖💖💗💗💗💗💗💘💓💞💕❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

The author of the post also noted not everyone is called to foster or adopt, too, for if everyone were, I don’t think we’d actually have a safer world, for there’s indeed a lot of destructive people that pose as friendly humans (I know what it’s like to have lived with some of them) —- if anyone within their means wants to adopt any orphans, such as a couple who loves Jesus and doesn’t disobey 1 Peter 3:7 in even the slightest fashion, I think they should do it. And if silence feels safer, there’s actually something very very very wrong with this picture. For Proverbs 31:8-9 calls all Christians to speak for those who can’t speak for themselves, just as the author also noted.

It’s also an easy temptation to try and “fix what is broken”. (The author notes that, too.) I know there’s all these parents in our world that, by doing this, they play God. And that’s just not right. If we rescue someone instead of walking alongside them (maybe the temptation comes from watching movies like the Spider-Man trilogy that came out roughly 20 years ago) —- indeed, often a victim doesn’t know if they’ve been rescued —- we do them a disservice, for they may not know they’re in danger. I know I don’t think danger’s easy to notice here… but I found out several years back that the U.S. often threatens others’ safety, even in a good area. I also feel I’ve mentioned that a lot in my posts… I apologize, people 😅😅 but thank God the author also said that lectures don’t work; love and time does more than these.

The final two paragraphs mention that Jesus didn’t wave from afar but He stepped into time and did His thing on Earth 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 for He welcomed the strangers and touched the untouchable so we may want to love Him and do the same, just as she noted. I hope we can encourage our own little humans to follow the dreams God gave them, for they, too, are made in His image, just as Genesis 1:27 says they are 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💖💖💖💖💖💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗 I don’t believe in contacting one without their parents’ permission, though, mostly for myself. I don’t trust myself with children, really… I often fear I’m making them uncomfortable, seeing that it’s easy to sin against them even by accident, and I don’t know if God will forgive me while I take utmost caution. If He does, that’s great 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Bottom line: the post is really good, and I hope to follow all the precautions it gives me if God entrusts me with the task of sponsoring an orphan or someone in a conflict zone… also, I find it thrilling the author, whose name is Michelle, gave me a shout out at the end of her post! Thank God for her 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 I pray love and mercy for Michelle and that she’s able to follow the right stuff still 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I hope she finds this and appreciates it, maybe I’ll send her this in my email? I think I’ll do that once I publish this post. Anyways, I hope to see you soon in Leviticus 20!

I Think God Can Use Any Business Opportunity For His Gospel Work… If It’s Good: Being Cautiously Optomistic About Any Country In Light Of Leviticus 19:35-36 (07/23/2025)

Posted on by Ron Outland

Well, what do you know? Last night, I had a conversation with a friend of mine, and he told me people come to the U.S. from all over the world in business dealings, mostly… so I think that’s actually good, for it can be an opportunity for me to preach the Gospel to anyone arriving if he/she is receptive about it, including those who speak a different language (don’t worry, every language has meaning, as 1 Corinthians 14:10 says). But I just realized that Babylon (a.k.a. Rome, read Revelation 17-18) will do the same thing during the Great Tribulation, and that’ll be doomed to fall as previous empires did. And I think the people will only be angry at me in most cases if I preach the Gospel to a foreigner and they receive Jesus as a result… but I believe in fair business dealings, as this passage says, which is found in page 70 of my NKJV Bible, page 90 of my NASB Bible (Old Testament), page 147 of my VOICE copy (along with its note appearing soon after), and page 145 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.

I’m not sure where that friend stands on the issue or if he even realizes the Babylon thing explained above (for I actually told him that the Maldives only allows Islam, and he didn’t know that previously, plus he’s over ten years older than me and a pastor of a ministry at my church), but I’m not really sure what to believe concerning most people I know 😓😓😓😓😓 yet I did find out this morning I can still write my Bible notes from my phone, which I’m doing right now at home instead of going to the library… sorry I didn’t write any notes earlier this month; I should’ve known I could just tilt my phone horizontally and press “new post” 😅😅😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 silly me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 now I know what to do for future notes if I run into any technological complications… unless I need to get a new phone 📱📲🔋🪫💻🖥️⌨️🖱️🖲️💾 (the floppy disk was for me potentially saving my documents) 😅😅 but anyway, I think it’s good that business in any country is an opportunity to preach the Gospel there, for it says in Ecclesiastes 11:1-2, “Cast your bread on the waters, for you will find it after many days. Give a portion to seven, yes, even [divide it] to eight, for you know not what evil may come upon the earth” (Amplified Bible, Classic Edition) 🍞🥐🥖🫓🥨😋 yea, it even confirms Luke 16’s investment teachings (verses 1-12).

I ddo feel business may be the only thing the U.S. is good for nowadays, though (besides the good-looking nature areas, but even then, they’re not too safe whether there’s a huge crowd or not). I’m surprised forgiveness may still be legal, actually… they passed the giant bill on July 4th to ruin many more things, including possibly making it impossible for my student loans to be eliminated, even if I get a five-figure check for any reason. I really hope to leave the U.S. and never come back so I’d actually have a chance of being more effective in God’s work of forgiveness and restoration, if He will do this. As it stands, though, I feel all the Lord’s messages only fall on deaf ears even when a friend of mine may be willing to hear the truth in a town like Gilbert. I don’t want to face only unreceptive people… and I think it’ll only get worse where I work, even if a coworker is at least a decade younger than me, not just in my Fry’s store, but any store I work in this country. I also remember another friend of mine came here from Australia to be a pastor at my church under the senior pastor’s leadership, and when that didn’t work, he decided to do something else (but thank God he’s still here, living within five miles east of me, and if he has to leave, I’d like to join him). Indeed, I feel my time in the U.S. may come to an end soon, even though I was born here and hadn’t visited anything outside of it… but that’s OK if I am able to get to a country that actually gives this generation the respect they deserve, such as my nieces and their half-sister. Yet I don’t have the money or even the connections to do this, and I think Trump knows I need my loans erased, so he’s decided to make it even more painful for me and other borrowers who couldn’t finish their education due to family drama and persecution for what they believe in, especially if it’s good, even making it impossible for me to feel safe again, if he could. But God can prevail against him 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥💗💗💗💗💗💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 for His love and faithfulness still endures for those who suffer for His Name’s sake like how 2 Timothy 2:13 says.

If I can, I’ll be back with chapter 20 of Leviticus soon, so I’ll see you then! In the meantime, I need to check back on a lady who emailed me something and wants me to post it on my website… I hope to get to that soon, too. I’m just ridiculously bad at checking my emails 😅😅 OK, enough rambling on my part. Later, guys!

It’s Not Worth It To Disregard The Foreigners — Other Ways To Love Others As Detailed In Leviticus 19:33-34 (06/21/2025)

Posted on by Ron Outland

This is huge, and I’m grieved in my spirit because lots of people in the U.S., though they had promised to be the hands and feet of Jesus to those who are disadvantaged, are now actually saying hatred is a virtue, and the proof is in the reality that there aren’t very many refugees here, maybe like 20,000 or less. I shared on my Instagram stories some time earlier this week that, believe it or not, Iran hosts more refugees than anywhere else on Earth. And they enforce Islam, so it’s kind of ironic they’re doing this, for Jesus had said that if we treat refugees badly, we purposely sin against Him 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔 and He added that these will go into eternal fire (Matthew 25:46). Indeed, I remember that Peter Furler, former Newsboys frontman (he stepped down about 15 years ago), had mentioned in his 2008 live album, Houston We Are Go, at the end, that there’s a greater separation coming, far greater than the first one that had occurred in Genesis 3. And his character still holds up all these years later. This passage is found in page 70 of the NKJV Bible I have for this four-translation project, page 90 of my NASB Bible (Old Testament), page 147 of my VOICE copy, and page 145 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.

I’ll be the first to admit I don’t really know much about hosting refugees myself, though, and I want that to improve, mainly in hiding a family in a safe neighbourhood if I’m married, but I can’t do it here, for even getting a girlfriend in this country means I have too high of a chance of being in poverty for the rest of my life, at least according to Arizona standards. I thank God the wages are more than double than that of places like Utah, Texas, Louisiana, etc., but it’s not enough, for I can’t save enough money every day, even when learning how to cook better foods. For as soon as I save ANYTHING, I have to use it almost immediately, usually if my tax return from early each year isn’t a part of it. I need to ask about what health insurance my job has, if there still is one 😬😬😬😬 if it’s not returning, and I can’t get affordable dental insurance, either, it’ll depend on luck or chance if I ever get out of debt, just as Ecclesiastes 9:11 says that the race isn’t to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to men or women of understanding and intelligence, nor favour to people with a lot of skills, but time and chance happen to them all (author’s translation). The Lord Jesus is alive and His eyes are upon those who fear Him (who revere and worship Him with awe), who wait for Him and hope in His mercies (which are new every morning; see Lamentations 3:22-23) and lovingkindnesses to deliver them from anything deadly and keep them alive in famine (see also Psalm 33:18-19), but it’s because Satan has stolen Jesus’ authority (see 2 Corinthians 4:4) and has infiltrated the Christian church after Scripture was completed in greater levels than previously imagined, especially in weaponizing the truth of God being first in rank and inserting phrases in the Bible such as “He is in control” that too many want nothing to do with Him, just as Romans 2:24 says of Satan’s children that the Name of God is blasphemed everywhere because of them. Thankfully, Jude thought of this, too (see Jude 3-19), and no one was supposed to insert or remove anything in or from God’s Word, respectively (Revelation 22:18-19). Yet the wicked people have weaponized this, too, and they have the upper hand most of the time, just as Proverbs 28:28 says.

So the question is: is safety still possible? If so, great, but even a town like Gilbert where I’m writing this now in a library can have some deeply disturbing moments, like that one guy I heard about who relentlessly beat up a kid from Queen Creek with some help from his friends, and when he died, the guy actually emoted over his dead body! And if that wasn’t bad enough, their families are psychopaths, much like O.J. had been when he had murdered his ex-wife and her friend back in 1994. I actually found out one day that this interrupted the NBA Finals on June 17th that year. I mean, God can still make safety happen, but this might not be possible because over 75 million people chose Trump instead of Jesus, as though He needed a convicted rapist to do His work. Other people like this have taken office, too, but it’s too unsafe to be in the U.S. at this point… which is why I got a book titled Extreme Devotion by Voice Of The Martyrs over a week and a half ago. I just finished day 5 on my way to the library at a bookstore where I sometimes get godly content from. One of the first stories featured the Rachel Scott story from Colorado where two godless men exalted Hitler by terrorizing their high school on April 20th, 1999. I’ve written about this before, but just in case someone brings this up to me, it was partly why I’m now Christian, though I only heard about it in February 2008. Better safe than sorry…

The craziest part is, I’m in Arizona, where racism isn’t too high and there’s sometimes some hilarious content people make on the roads; I wonder how those in closed countries like Vietnam, Laos, Libya, Egypt, North Korea, China, Cuba, etc. are handling this right now. Indeed, yesterday was World Refugee Day, and I wanted to show some support, but all I could do was share some content on my Instagram stories about this (most of them have since disappeared, for they’re only available for 24 hours each). And I’ve been through too many dangerous things already, so if forgiveness is criminalized here, I’d much rather get blown up because I believe Jesus forgives others than locked away in the mental hospital again, or worse, be put in prison where I can be butt-raped because someone’s bored! Indeed, a nation can fall apart at anytime, including the U.S., so that’s why we must practice kindness to others, including the refugees and those seeking safety, especially… I pray God helps me dodge bad laws here, for I can’t afford a place anywhere even in a foreign country where it’s actually safe. Plus, I have a lot of debts, so I don’t expect them to not drag me back if I leave, temporarily or otherwise. Besides, I have a family here, and I want to meet my three nieces’ new half-sister, who was born on June 3rd at 4:15 a.m. Her name is Monika Lee Snyder (their mom had gotten a new boyfriend), and I’ve seen the nickname Mocha, and I think that’s adorable 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍💗💗💗💗💗💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💘💘💘💕💞❣️❤️‍🔥❤️‍🩹 if her mom allows my brother and I to meet her, I’ll be forever grateful 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💖💖💖💖💖💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💓💓💓💓🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Oh, I should mention that I mentioned to someone on Threads last week I’d write on the Leviticus 19 passage, so I hope they see this. But those who die for their faith in Jesus are too good for this world (Hebrews 11:38), and I want more of God’s goodness both here and thereafter. I hope I can focus on an eternal reward even with the losses I’ve faced in multiple forms, but I don’t know how I can stand with others suffering for their devotions to Jesus if there aren’t enough people willing to stand with me in my opportunity to get a college degree and be financially stable that’s been stolen from me, and who can find joy if someone’s being told to be a masochist (one who takes pleasure in pain)? Maybe I need to read the Extreme Devotion book some more, which may take me years. And my 35th birthday is in just six months from Thursday next week, and I don’t know how much time I have left in this world if they want to clamp down on me for wanting kindness to be practiced 😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔 I don’t even know how I’m going to share this note… follow the words of Ecclesiastes 11:1-2, perhaps? That’s my only lead, and if I don’t get encouragement from the right people, I’m toast. The worst part about all this is that many people deny what’s happening, repeating the pattern of Jeremiah 5:12-13. I don’t know what to do here… if God’s faithfulness remains true like it says in 2 Timothy 2:13, that’s great. I want to rely on that. I hope we all can…

The final note I’ll be doing on this chapter will be on verses 35-36. I’m not sure when I’ll do that, but I hope to see you then!

Godly Tattoos Are Allowed, But Many Things Are To Be Avoided (Leviticus 19:26-31) [05/28/2025]

Posted on by Ron Outland

This was written so we’d avoid following evil spirits, for sadly, they’re real… and many of them of different sorts are in every nation, with some hidden in plain sight and others working behind the scenes. That wasn’t what God had planned for anyone. But in contrast to fortune-telling and soothsaying, prophetic revelation is of Jesus, and that’s awesome! This passage is found in pages 69-70 of the NKJV Bible I have for this project, pages 89-90 of the NASB Bible I have for it, page 147 of my VOICE copy, and page 145 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.

I do hope to not find another human being who would weaponize any of this and call it loving your neighbour, akin to Leviticus 19:17-18, but knowing this world, I’ll probably find more people who actually practice this and use the above Scripture to justify it, whether I’m in ministry or not… and because the authoritarian agenda is almost halfway finished from those in power (and we’re not even halfway through 2025 yet), I don’t feel safe in the U.S., so that even in Gilbert, I’d actually find a bunch of godless men pretending to love what’s right. And Gilbert’s one of the safest places in the country, period, so if God wills, I want to go to some place like the Netherlands, for I heard they did tours I’d like to rephrase as decommissioning oneself from an unsafe land. (The original name I think is a bit inappropriate, hence the name change here.) And Jesus knows I only want to do what’s right… yet they do criminalize prostitution is most U.S. counties. I don’t know why it’s legal in most of Nevada… it’s not good. I pray for repentance and forgiveness there, and for the Burning Man festivals they have in the Nevada desert, for clothing there is optional. Yep, you read that right. You can legally show up there naked. I don’t recommend it 😅😅 — but still, nudity is legal in certain contexts in many parts of Europe. I think that’s wack 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 why they practice this I have no idea (verse 30 prohibits prostitution), but thank God hiking naked is no longer allowed in Switzerland! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 I pray for healing in Europe, since it’s safe in many parts but not many know Jesus there, much like in the U.S., though safety here is pretty hard to find.

And as for tattoos (verse 28), I don’t think all of them are to be avoided, for Jesus will have a writing on His robe and thigh containing something no one knows but Himself, and with it will be “King of Kings and Lord of Lords” (Revelation 19:16). So that tells me you actually can get good tattoos, and I don’t criticize them. But by now, this is probably common knowledge, for in 2012, when I first did Bible notes on a study Bible I had bought for a class or two that autumn (it was at ASU), I don’t think a lot of people really knew this too well… maybe they do now? I don’t know… but if money weren’t a factor, I would’ve gotten 60 godly tattoos all across my body by now. Yet I heard a guy not having tattoos is a flex, so maybe I should avoid getting ink’d up 😅😄😆😂🤣 I don’t want it to be like that one time at work when a customer confessed to me and a cashier that she got tattoos of flowers on her butt, though 😵😵😵😵😵😵😬😬😬😬 I legit couldn’t make this up. A month or two ago, she said this to us, and I can imagine other women got some… erotic tattoos of things in their private parts to satisfy the guys they’re sleeping with. I’m heartbroken for them 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔 I mean, I don’t think it’s right if a lady prefers me over Jesus… but a bit off-topic, many women are leaving the church, and that’s because of MAGA invading the Lord’s gatherings. Yet at the same time, I’m convinced people like me who love Him are among the unbelievers, including in the churches we go to. There’s this group called the “J6ers” who took part in the insurrection in early 2021 (they’re still not sorry for the violence and profane use of God’s Name they caused), and many of them are social media influencers. They’re also in our churches, and while I’ve heard reports that all of them in Arizona have been arrested, I’m not so sure that’s the case, for what do we do in case we see one? Indeed, I found out this one guy I’ve met before follows some of them, believing they have fruit of the Spirit. Don’t follow them, and pray you have a chance to escape their unrepentant souls. For they cannot stand against the Lord Jesus despite claiming to be on His side, but that’s always tougher to swallow.

In the meantime, I’m hoping my vacation request for work is approved, so that I can maybe go somewhere fun with a friend or two. But in the next post, I’ll write on verses 33-34, for I love that kindness to foreigners is encouraged 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💝💝💝💝💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘 hopefully that comes soon. I’ll see you then!

Circumcised And Uncircumcised Trees… And Deeds: Something Personal And Useful From Leviticus 19:23-25 (05/19/2025)

Posted on by Ron Outland

When I first read the Message version, found on biblegateway.com, verses 23-25 in this chapter stuck out to me like a sore thumb, for I couldn’t live in Tempe for three years after I become Christian… for what I don’t know. Maybe because offence had spread too much due to me losing my mind the summer before that this happened? I don’t know… but even in my fourth year at ASU, I was able to rent an apartment for the very first time with a friend of mine, but I still didn’t attend church much. But I didn’t know that churches could lie about being non-denominational, too 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️ I wish any church would preach truth 24/7 and not just themselves. Yet right before I started my fifth year at ASU, I started going to Antioch in Tempe (it was since moved to Chandler), and that was after my four-year anniversary of me becoming Christian (this was in 2013). I don’t want to talk about my personal history that much, though. Yet through a turn of events, I eventually made my way to Two Rivers Gilbert and have more or less been going there often since. I’ve believed I needed to step back from it a lot, and have even written some of it in previous posts… but I didn’t realize that Tom, the pastor, would rightly say some great stuff about not believing a preacher 24/7, and last week, I played a sermon he had recorded which contained him saying, as I can put it, “A leader can correct you and they’re right, but what happens when they do this and they’re wrong?” He then went on to say that’s even tougher to deal with. And I know about those who would weaponize Scriptures like Romans 13:1-5 and 2 Thessalonians 3. And I wonder, has anyone reading this been falsely corrected in their churches? I want to hear your stories, so drop something in the comments or DM me privately and tell me about all of it. This passage is found in page 69 of my NKJV Bible, page 89 of my NASB Bible (Old Testament), page 147 of my VOICE copy, and page 145 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.

The title of this post is based on a footnote I found of the VOICE version of this passage, in which the word “off-limits” is a reference to a tree being uncircumcised for three years. And it reminds me of Romans 2:25-27 about if someone’s got their hearts replaced by Jesus Himself or not (see Ezekiel 36:26-27, also Romans 6:17). I’ll get to these passages eventually, God-willing… and I’m also thinking of Titus 1:15-16 about if someone’s soul is pure, and if it is, everything is pure, but to the corrupt and unbelieving, nothing is pure… I don’t want to talk about someone else’s deeds to embarrass them, though. Indeed, there’s things I heard about I’m not ready to put on here, and by the time you read this, there may be more, even if I don’t leave the house before texting this to a friend. I do think this passage helped me lay out more of a foundation of where I should be in Jesus, though, especially concerning my history with Arizona State and other things that had happened in my first five years of my walk with Jesus. But there’s always room to grow somewhere, so that’s nice. I did lose all my data of my Bible notes after I had gotten a Bible to write some on in 2012, and then following what I wrote on a laptop, though. I still don’t know where it is… and I’ll probably need a new one soon, for they’re ending updates for my Windows 10 laptop in October. I pray they don’t drag me to a disgraceful place by then, for they’re willing to enforce Project 2025, criminalizing everyone but the Trump worshipers, not to mention they’re willing to put me to death simply for exercising the fruits of the Spirit should they declare kindness or forgiveness illegal. I’ll actually be more surprised if they don’t do this.

But whether or not you’ve followed me for a while, you can send me an e-mail if you need prayer or something at ron.outland4727@gmail.com! I’m bad at checking my e-mails, though, so I’m sorry if I don’t see it. I’ll see you in verses 26-28 soon, God-willing. L8r!

Love And Hope Go Together — Pondering on Leviticus 19:17-18 (Part 2) [04/30/2025]

Posted on by Ron Outland

After three weeks of waiting to write this down, I can say I’ve had good feedback from all those who read this, however few of you chose to do so 😄😅 one friend says, as I can put it, “Atheism disguised as Christianity? Yikes 😨😨😨😨” — I don’t know how much momentum I have concerning this but she’s right… but I still have a book called Barefoot Tribe by Palmer Chinchen, and I want to read it when I’m done with two others (one I’ve actually read before). It’s very tempting for me to play hardball with this sort of thing in terms of being people-centered, though, for then I’ll forget to rely on Jesus, and I don’t want that. But I don’t want to hang around with even one of the MAGA freaks who claim to support this, either… it’s all really confusing. My only reasoning about this passage and the dilemma of looking like a worshiper of left-wing extremism, a remark I’ve gotten before (though not often), I don’t really know, I guess I’ll have to keep a low profile about it… but I’m publishing this at roughly 10 a.m., Arizona time, so I guess the low profile thing is impossible at this point. But one thing I remembered recently (probably last night, I don’t remember) was that following the words of 1 Corinthians 10:32 where it says not to give offence to anyone was one way I could love my neighbour. Indeed, one maintenance man’s from Morocco, and I’m not sure what kind of Muslim content he practices, but I hope to lead him to Jesus without offending him away from God, just as Paul had written in chapter 8 of the above letter that introducing someone to godly stuff prematurely (if they don’t know it’s good and they’ve likely had a hard time with it growing up) isn’t worth it (see verses 9-12).

I also don’t want any kind of deportations happening, and they usually go after the wrong guys for this, so I pray against all that 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 for if someone wants to stay in the U.S., I believe he/she should have an opportunity to feel safe from the violence I imagine they fled from, but Satan is stirring the churches to chase them away, to the point that I don’t even want to be here, so that if I leave there will be trouble, and if I stay there will be double the pain. Please tell me at least a couple of you understood that reference… I know I don’t want Russian aggression against anyone, but knowing the evil one has subjugated many people here to this, I can’t make many more friends here, even if more people are born and then become Christian. I actually think Jesus has never been more ashamed of the U.S. than He’d ever been, given the circumstances, including that I can’t mention to really anyone else even at church the problems those in power are creating, seeing that most of the Valley loves them, not to mention half the other metro areas in the U.S., in general. Even those who never planned for this don’t seem to care… I think Jesus has given this country up to an atheism-enforcing mindset. So at this point, the only way He’ll really receive glory is that this nation is… replaced, given the abundant lack of forgiveness that’s always happened.

What are we to do when the government fights back, pretending to be Christian once again? For they’ll hunt down and eliminate those who follow Jesus for real, since they love to weaponize Romans 13:1-5. Yet people would say Isaiah 10:1-2, a Scripture that’s long been overlooked in too many circles, is more weaponized than anything. They’d even mention that Putin’s a good leader and that Zelenskyy, though he’s indeed quite corrupt, can [insert highly suggestive comment here]. These men have attacked the Leviticus 19 passage many of them claim to love. I think they want to make unforgiveness mandatory. They also know law and order doesn’t really work, for too often, the laws in many lands, on top of what had already been put in place on or before 1980, have been apathetic towards the Gospel. Yet they complain abortion is worse than the death penalty, but I know they don’t want to give that up here. I think both should be eliminated, but it’s too bad that without abortion being legal, there’s an even higher infant/child mortality rate here. I think the U.S. worships the spirit of death, especially around Halloween 🎃🦇🦂🕷🕸😓🤦🏼‍♂️ and that’s six months away.

So the only conclusion is, despite the fact that more and more people want to enforce unforgiveness, love anyway. At least we’ll go out in a blaze of glory and to be welcomed to Heaven like heroes, and that’s not just because 1 Peter 3:17 says what it says. If you have any questions about this, you can either e-mail me at ron.outland4727@gmail.com or pray to God that someone much smarter than me can answer you here. You can also type something in the comments a time when you’ve been wronged, hurt, or left for dead by an unforgiving human being, if you wish 😅 anyway, it’s like 10:20 a.m., now, so I need to publish this. Later!

Love And Hope Go Together — Pondering On Leviticus 19:17-18 (Part 1) [04/09/2025]

Posted on by Ron Outland

These two verses are the backbone of all my theology, including about God’s and Christ’s Deity! For if He didn’t show interest in someone in this world, what could we do? Indeed, Jesus quoted verse 18 in most of the Gospels, and so did some of the New Testament authors! I wish this was more commonplace in the U.S., but the vast majority of the people will never accept it, especially in the churches across the world that more or less think they follow Jesus when they clearly don’t 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔 and every time I try and address legit concerns of how this is ignored in some form (like in an Instagram story post or even texting a friend), I usually get more criticism than a holy response. This passage is found in page 69 of the NKJV Bible I have, page 89 of the NASB Bible I have (Old Testament), page 146 of my VOICE copy, and pages 144-145 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.

I thought I’d write not one, but two posts about this because it’s probably the most important commandment in the Pentateuch along with the Shema (Deuteronomy 6:4-5). For I want to send this post to about a maximum of 15 friends to see the feedback on this, seeing that Tim, the Two Rivers Awaken pastor (as of late 2019), wants to read everything I’ve posted on here the last two weeks. Yet, I feel something… disturbing brewing among us, for there are those in my church (and I sometimes fear this is in my inner circle) that think God’s so important that people are meaningless, given their worship of idols that they think Jesus accepts. This isn’t what He had in mind, and that’s how the Pharisees were so critical of Him in the first place, given the words of John 5:39-40.

In the meantime, where can we pray for hope for others? For I recognize I’ll need to get to the human being to preach the Gospel to them before a false disciple or false prophet does. Yet a lot of people in the U.S. discount evangelism across the earth, and I won’t be surprised if the U.S. is no longer a sending nation, because of the atheism disguised as Christianity that’s popular in different forms in every state. The Lord Jesus won’t forget these people’s sins, and He won’t forgive them, either, for they have… attacked Matthew 18:21-35, thinking justice and forgiveness are contradictory. It was supposed to be restoration according to the good the abused deserve 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Brian Zahnd’s book, Radical Forgiveness, explains it in a way I hadn’t imagined up until I read it in 2017. For it says that if someone’s unforgiving, they re-enter the world of retribution forever and ever. For more details, you can find it in a library in your area, if that library’s got the book. I also fear that unforgiveness will be enforced, too, and because they’re deporting so many people to El Salvador for slavery so unjustly (they want to take U.S. citizens like me away, too), soon, I won’t be able to do anything. I pray against this unjust fate where the wicked people always have the upper hand…

Anyone who doesn’t know me, either, please feel free to read this, for I’m making this post public. Indeed, this passage encourages forgiveness, too, given the fact that it forbids grudges and revenge. But slavery was what the Lord Jesus had rescued the Israelites from! He didn’t die and rise again for all mankind only for the U.S. to enforce hateful content and imprison all of us who resist Donald Trump’s reprobate laws! Before long, NO ONE will want to worship Jesus anymore… why even re-establish slavery in the first place?!

Dishonest Gain Is Evil — A Contemplation of Leviticus 19:11-16 (04/03/2025)

Posted on by Ron Outland

This morning, I feel like God wanted me to share that we don’t practice honest anything enough… yet, many nations have built their systems loosely on verses like these since they were written many, many, many years ago (c. 1450 B.C.) — I have a book called Barefoot Tribe, but I still haven’t read it yet (I’m still on the Normal Christian Life by Watchman Nee, but I’m only a chapter into it and I need to work A LOT to pay my rent so I don’t have much time or even the energy to read and journal it) — we’ve lived our lives in too much luxury while many people around the world don’t even get the basic care they need, including someone like me in the U.S., for the Church hates the just people here. But this passage is found in page 69 of my NKJV Bible, page 89 of my NASB Bible, page 146 of my VOICE copy, and page 144 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.

And when I read the NASB for this, I noticed verse 11 is similar to Exodus 20:15 and Deuteronomy 5:19, but the crux of the whole thing is that we love God and others, for love doesn’t practice falsehood (contrast Revelation 22:15). I’ll get into that in the next note, but I don’t want to spend too much time on this one, for I don’t think laws of any kind should be worshiped. Besides, everyone who talks about it a lot hates forgiveness, like the Judaizers in Acts 15:1-35 (Paul also rebukes them in every way throughout his letter to the Galatians), the Catholic Church who relies on salvation by works, and more recently, the enormous amount of Calvinists (those who think Romans 9:1-23 should be worshiped) and the Trump supporters. There’s a reason Jesus said the things He said in Matthew 18:21-35. Indeed, one of my friends messaged me several weeks ago about the laws of Moses and how he thinks they should be practiced (I never knew this about him) — needless to say, I don’t think it’s worth it for me to say anything when he’s around (but I’d still share godly information in my Instagram stories; you can follow me on @ronnie.out1926 there). If he’s seeking to be justified by it, he’s fallen from grace (Galatians 5:4).

The good news is, though, Jesus always practices truth and love every time, and so should all of us. I don’t think I can say anything to those who don’t know Jesus, but I believe it’s not right the evil one’s trying to discount them from knowing Him… but shouting at a deaf human being or putting an obstacle before the blind (verse 14) warrants God cursing the one who does it… forever (Deuteronomy 27:18). So I can’t promise anything, because I sometimes don’t know if anyone’s got impaired vision or hearing. I ask for God’s help on these things, actually… but soon, I’ll be back on verses 17-18, probably the best part of this book. Later!
