I’m writing this note to add to the other two tonight… because I’m bored. Yet I find one particular piece of information interesting concerning Mario and Luigi’s wealth from all their games and their jobs across all media outlets Nintendo had been circulating over the last 40+ years, but more of that at another time. And by the time I get to the particular passage I want to talk about concerning this, they’ll either end the series or milk it to too many inappropriate lengths, because of the politicians here and because of their opposition to God and His holy words, for a decade may pass between now and then. But this chapter is found in page 71 of the NKJV Bible I’m using for this journey, pages 91-92 of the NASB Bible (Old Testament), pages 149-151 of my VOICE copy (with a short note in-between some of the verses) and pages 148-149 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.

Upon reading the first half of this chapter (verses 1-16), I can tell that punishment is worshiped. Indeed, it even says in 2 Corinthians 3:7-9 that Moses’ ministry, detailed in the books of Exodus-Deuteronomy, doesn’t bring much glory compared to Christ Jesus Himself and His ministry. God even said in Haggai 2:12 that the laws of Moses about food being “sanctified” —- they don’t work. But from the beginning, Jesus said, the laws of Moses weren’t the end goal (Matthew 19:8), but that He is (Matthew 5:17-18). God even said these laws were not good (Ezekiel 20:25). Indeed, just as Adam and Eve had been married before Satan came in to defame God and spoil His creation, so we need to hear Jesus about what it was like in Eden before anything else happened. Indeed, you notice that God doesn’t mention anything about punishment for the disciples of Jesus in the New Testament (in contrast to Amos 3:2, which many “Christians” think gives them the green light to be punishing, whether emotionally, socially, even physically), quite the opposite is commanded in Ephesians 6:4 and Colossians 3:21, actually… I will die on this hill, no matter how many people oppose me on this. For no one should play God in their homes, especially when their children are trying to grow and learn from them. Indeed, friendship is required for all familial relationships. Otherwise, God won’t forgive them.

There’s also a lot of stuff about animal sacrifices in the second half of this chapter (verses 17-33), but one thing I like is that for the first seven days of its life, a sheep or ox should not be touched (verse 27). Yet I’d go one better: don’t make any animal sacrifices at all, for it can make someone believe the devil’s going to win anyway. And if anyone questions me on this so as to… challenge God’s Word, don’t you remember what Jesus said in Matthew 5:21-48 about several things? He was giving the original interpretation of all the Scriptures He had mentioned during that sermon. One noteworthy subject is vows (Matthew 5:33-37) —- it’s not worth it to make any rash promises. If you can keep one, good, but consult the Lord Jesus before promising anything. I know it wasn’t easy for me to keep the promise of staying at the same house for more than three years (mainly between September 2018 and October 1, 2021 or later), but that was because of the federal loan guys, and I ran into several different obstacles along the way, all stemmed from COVID-19, which I never got sick with, but I can’t put the details about this on here, either. If you want to chat with me about it, I recommend sending me an email: ron.outland4727@gmail.com (it’s been the same email I’ve had for the last ten years or so, now). Another thing I can talk about concerning reinterpretations of any Scripture (contrary to popular opinion) —- Paul did the same thing with Jesus’ words from Luke 10:7 in 1 Corinthians 9:14 in that those who proclaim the Gospel should get their living from it. I know I don’t want to fleece anyone…

I’m not sure when I’ll write on the remaining five chapters of Leviticus but hopefully it’s soon. In the meantime, I need to get to bed… but in the email above, you can write to me any prayer requests you may have, so that I can write them down then tape them to by bedroom walls (though I’m more likely to do that by means of sticky notes, seeing that I have a whole bunch of them). I’ll see you in chapter 23 where we begin to discuss feasts! See you then, ladies and gentlemen!

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!

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!

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!

This chapter is actually pretty important in the Pentateuch, despite most of the laws of Moses actually being a stumbling block for Jesus (see Ezekiel 20:25, also 2 Corinthians 3:7). Yet, God didn’t want His followers to go by the letter of the law codes. For even though the laws of the lands in this world are supposed to honor Jesus, instead, the heads of state usually try and trip Him up 🙄🙄🙄🙄🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️ and starting in ten days (with possibly no end until Jesus comes back many years from now, or at least seven years from today, however the last of the unreached people groups in this world accept Jesus), we’re going to see a lot of nonsensical talk about many things that don’t need to be enforced. I want to be wrong in this, but I don’t think I can be, for they’ve already started building labor camps in record numbers down in Texas for all those who, in Trump’s view, are unworthy to live here. But this wouldn’t have happened if the churches in the U.S. had only decided to follow God’s benevolence for others throughout their lives. Still, this chapter is found in page 68 of my NKJV Bible, page 88 of my NASB Bible (Old Testament), pages 144-145 of my VOICE copy, and pages 142-143 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.

I don’t think I can say enough about how hateful the U.S. has been for, what, nearly ten years, now? Indeed, I believe God spoke to me that this nation’s under His wrath ten years ago at the end of next month. And I’m seeing many reasons why I shouldn’t have children in this country or perhaps even get engaged to a Christian lady born around the early-mid 90s, for it’s too expensive here, and the work culture in like every building is toxic. But I have good news for my own team: we did 17 good secret shops in a row at Fry’s (this is what happens when someone pretends to be a customer there and reviews us all like critics at a restaurant — don’t accuse me of spilling the beans, Fry’s did that first, for I’ve seen videos of it on YouTube before), and now, we’re trying to find a good day for a pizza party! I pray I can make it to that party even if I’m not scheduled to work that day/night 😋🍕🥤 I didn’t actually think I’d make it this long without a single bad secret shop at my store; this is a big accomplishment for me and my team! I do pray salvation for those willing to accept and follow Jesus there, though.

And speaking of foul play at work, I noticed five small but deadly blood stains on the floor at my store one night earlier this week — I had to clean them all, and I didn’t know I needed to wear latex gloves every time I see blood on the ground, or some other fluid with a deadly pathogen (something in one’s body that can kill you just by touching it) — I pray I don’t make that same mistake twice 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 I think the customer who did this just picked at themselves too much, but this still pales in comparison to a freak accident that happened at my store last September because a customer didn’t have the right shoes on, not to mention that management royally messed up with my maintenance protocol. But after a few weeks, I got word by a supervisor that the customer who had fallen and lost a lot of blood so that she had to be taken to a hospital on a stretcher was doing so much better 😌😌😌😌😌😌😌😌😌 I was afraid she was going to die, honestly 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I don’t want that to happen to anyone, no matter where the workplace is 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔 I mean, there’s a reason this chapter is in the Scriptures: blood can carry all sorts of pathogens, even in raw meat, and drinking any blood, even of a chicken, is very deadly 😱😱😱😱😱😱 it can even carry STDs. If that happens, you can’t give blood, and that’ll put your life in jeopardy 😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨 save sexual stuff for marriage, ladies and gentlemen.

The next several chapters deal with everyday life, and I’ll cover them one by one, but for now, I’ll see you in the next one.
