Leviticus 17-18
17:7 In this verse "Demons" actually refers to a satyr/goat, commonly known among the pagans/neopagans, as Pan. He was the earth god, represented nature, etc. He was a chill guy, you know, peace and wine and free love and all, compared to stern strict Jehovah, who never let His kids have any fun. At least that was my impression for most of my teens and some of my 20's. It's not like I was doing anything wrong, I reasoned when I was wiccan. I mean, it's not like blood and Satan worship and sacrafices and such. Oh, but the food and drink libations poured out? God says they were an abomination to Him. And this hippie goat dude we payed tribute to? God's Word calls him to a demon. I don't wanna get up on a soapbox here, but we have got to be so careful that our kids do not get deceived. "Neopaganism" is everywhere; the occult is accepted like never before. Young people are being lured in with the most subtle hints. I'm sure it's nothing you don't know....but let's remember to be cautious what we let our kids be exposed to, what is perceived by them as acceptable and cool. Satan wants us and them to believe it's harmless. A little hocus pocus and crystal ball gazing never hurt anyone, right? Wrong.
18:3 Kids, God says, don't do what you used to do in Egypt. Well, of course not, God, I say. I would never go back to being a pagan, smoking, thinking abortion was OK, getting drunk or stoned. That's behind me. I left it in Egypt.
But I haven't arrived at my final destination yet. I'm still wandering, and I have to be careful that while I am, I don't fall in with the Cananites, the unsaved, the world. There are still pitfalls on the way, and may I never be so arrogant as to think I won't stumble into one occasionally. Praise God that if I do, I have a ready rope and Hand to pull me out, dust me off, and set me on the right course to continue my journey.
18:22 well, if this doesn't spell out how God feels about homosexuality, I don't know what does. Just remember, guys, hate the sin, not the sinner. I know some really nice gay folks who need Jesus. He'll change them..that's not our job; we just need to point them to Him.
Matthew 27:27-50
I cannot read passages like this without an abundance of chills and tears. I searched for some insight today as I read, feeling so grateful but so appalled, so angry that they did this to my Friend. It's not fair, I railed inwardly as I always do....well, yeah, it's not fair. It's not fair that He was up there suffering, and it's sure not fair that I get to go to heaven and live eternally because of it. I think I've used this quote before, but grace makes life not fair, because fair would be me frying in hell and seperated from a God I don't deserve to be able to ever even approach.
The people watching that day as Christ was crucified, whether they mocked, cried, were apathetic, curious, angry, whatever....they literally got to see the redemption of the world.
