Torean and Kiara: The 6th Revelation
Seriously, Don't. Read. This. Thread. Nothing will be revealed to you, and you wouldn't comprehend it anyway. Every series needs a title with "revelation" or "revelations" and its always the worst one. So, there you go, it'll be super boring too. But the two of us are in for the long haul, so don't worry about us, we'll make it.
I think a lot of guys have a thing for hurting girls.
Kinda yeah. Or not caring if they get hurt. It's gross
I don’t like that… I don’t want to be that powerless.
I don't like that either. I really don't want to hurt anyone, I don't know why anyone would
I don't have to be like that to be happy. It's a little difficult to make a sub out of me though. 😅
Being degraded makes me bored. Being praised isn't enough. I question orders. It's not impossible though, it rewards and verbage are right
I don’t want to be degraded… I just don’t want to be in charge like I always have to be.
Question orders?
Explain.
That makes perfect sense. It can be refreshing to not have to be in charge. Degradation... I don't know why people are so into it
I'm not sure how to explain the rest really, 😅 I'm willful
Guys always make me lead. I rarely get to relax and surrender.
I don’t like that. I have low self esteem as it is…
You just like being in charge. Lol
Guys make you lead? That's not what I would've expected, how so?
Same. ❤️ I know how that is. Words can hurt even when they aren't supposed to
Lol, I dunno, maybe? 😅 I'm really laid back, I like to be along for the ride. I'm just used to being put in charge at this point, and getting better at it is exciting. It's also exhausting sometimes though, depending.
I’m going to track my Bible reading here, if that’s ok… Something keeps reverberating through my head… “What would happen if I prioritized God?” It’s gotta be a lot better than this… I’m doing a really bad job doing things on my own.
Maybe it is better to prioritize God. Even I, not claiming the religion, have to admit that I make serious mistakes if I adhere only to my values. It's not that you're doing a bad job, it's just that you can't be perfect on your own. ❤️
Yeah. I need… more than me. Not just me running my life…
We all need something bigger, regardless of beliefs. I kinda want to start a challenge for you too. Take at least one break a day to breathe deeply and think about what kind of growth and difference you feel like God would want you to make. And then, for fun sake, think of ways to make it interesting for you. And it's ok not to come up with much, the important thing is just considering anything rolling around in your mind on a higher level and relaxing past the emotion of it.
My biggest example is when I meditate with my guinea pigs. I'll sit there with them and put on some music. I'll close my eyes and just enjoy having them close. Sometimes it gets thinky, sometimes it's just restful. But I want to be the kind of good person they see me as. ❤️. When I come out of it, they're usually either staring at me or bickering with each other.
Ok, I read that one too. It asks important questions, but I don't feel like it answers them at all. I don't accept the way that people are "hardened". I don't even accept the way I was, but I definitely don't speak for people who've been through absolute ***.
Awww, are you reading the Bible with me?? *happy tears* <3
I don’t have all the answers myself. I have questions I can’t answer. I just keep reading and learning and listening. God will show you when it’s time. He knows better than me. <3
I think it had to do with enjoying looking at these questions together. Lol, I also think I got interrupted in messaging you like 5 times so I have no idea why it came out that way
It’s a list of how to prepare and give offerings. I like how God provides food for the priests as well <3
I feel weird about the whole sacrifices thing. Why can't lovely flowers be offered? Or drawings?
Well, it’s not done anymore. Nothing to worry about <3
Look up Hebrews 10:10 <3
Heh, I bet some people do.
Hmm, ok, so the sacrifice of Jesus and everything. What are your thoughts on this one?
Possibly some Jewish sects. I never figured out why they would still be looking for the Messiah after Jesus came…
Jesus fulfilled the Law, so His sacrifice abolished all blood sacrifices. <3
True. That's a good point, and I'm not sure either. I haven't delved deep enough to answer that
Hmmm, but why were those sorts of sacrifices ever needed in the first place?
Me neither.
I don’t have all the answers, but… We chose death, eternal separation from God. A substitution needed to be given for our redemption. It was animals at first, every time we sinned. Jesus put that to rest once and for all.
I don’t have all the answers… I wish I did. We just learn and learn and absorb as we go… If we understood it fully, then we would be God.
Hmm, maybe so. I still wish I could understand that part more than that. You told me more than I really understood before to be honest. Also, what are wave offerings? I just imagine dramatically waving an aromatic thing around. Is that it? I forget.
It’s hard for me too… But it’s beautiful learning and comparing and discussing and absorbing, isn’t it? <3
I’m glad I’m teaching you <3
Honestly, I think that’s what it is. More symbolic than anything, and then the priests get to eat the meat.
It really is ❤️
That makes sense. I had to ask 😅
You never have to feel afraid to ask questions <3 We’re both learning together <3
I didn’t read today… O.O
Update: I just read Leviticus 9. Thank you for keeping me on track <3
No problem. ❤️
Heheh, fat portions on the alter. I swear, the Bible makes me giggle internally from wording alone, enough to make it entertaining despite the repetition on some things.
