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

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!

I Don’t Believe In Spilling Blood — Leviticus 17 (01/10/2025)

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.
