Some live in a reality where they know every word uttered and movement is tracked.
Some live in a reality where every thought is tracked by every word uttered and each movement.
Some live in a reality where they believe they are free to think and be.
Some live in a reality where they watch and listen to every move you make and track your breath for words un spoken.

Will you please take my hand
as we drift
through
time
Exodus 22:2 He said, “Take now your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I will tell you.”
So... It wasis known of the day to sacrifice your first kid*, preferably the first born male. It was a space of mixed religious beliefs and belief systems..."I don't know if ya know the stories of old for true, but I do yea?" 'Those around him were doing it for their deity's', he thought, with the absolute understanding that those around Abraham were known to *literally* sacrifice their first born child. I hear once in a while someone say, "The Bible is so violent." Sometimes in regards to a Passion Play (I'm not writing about that book today) but in the Old all the Children of Abraham and before him Noah and before him Adam and before him...Object origin Object destination Book God commands his Children, his Chosen Children mind you, since the beginning of our time, I repeat for fun God Commands his Chosen Children to eradicate whole nations.
“In the cities of the nations the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. Completely destroy them — the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites — as the LORD your God has commanded you. Otherwise, they will teach you to follow all the detestable things they do in worshiping their gods, and you will sin against the LORD your God”
Why? What could possibly be so bad about them? Do you know who those peoples were? What sort of child sacrifice in reality was the Truth that God would not allow disavow. Did they practice and encourage heathen ways that created no Good? Asking for a friend.
It doesn't matter what language it was written, it is our history. All of the old books and writings are our history, you can't pick and choose what history. Can you rewrite history? The Protestants sure did, the Catholics melted. When everything is digital it's easy to write over; we still know the truth. These are things that are passed down even if you've watered it down.
If you practice lent... true sacrifice old school; your child for your God. I want you to roll that around on your tongue. Some people sacrifice theiryour child for yourtheir God. Only in hard times of course, "What's a hard time for some is not a hard time for another." Said in my best White Plaines Rabbi voice. Anyway...the children of Abraham were to not sacrifice their children because God did not wish this...where did all this take place? Oh yeah, The Temple Mount.
These next three lines are to show you...
Remind you of Our Father Abrahams line, how far can we go? 7 generations? it's forgotten in 3
Genesis 16:3 "So, after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her servant, and gave her to Abram her husband as a wife."
For fun I enjoy the life span of the old before times children...
"When Adam was 130 years old, he became the father of a son in his own likeness, in his own image. He named him Seth. 4 After Adam became the father of Seth, he lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. 5 Adam lived a total of 930 years; then he died."
yada yada yada
it's actually an easy book to read.
The All the Old Testaments
"When Enoch was 65 years old, he became the father of Methuselah. After he became the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked with God for 300 years and had other sons and daughters. Enoch lived a total of 365 years. Enoch walked with God; then he was gone because God took him."
"When Methuselah was 187 years old, he became the father of Lamech. After he became the father of Lamech, Methuselah lived 782 years and had other sons and daughters. Methuselah lived a total of 969 years; then he died."
Genesis 16:16 "Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram."
Genesis 21:5 "Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him."
I just checked out bible hub for a quote instead of picking up the Book next to me, it's on top of the Mormon book I look forward to reading (I'm glad it's in a language I understand easily?)
...and there once again it is shown to me the hubris of man kind...from the beginning... Is it bold of me to point out how many versions of a book you have edited to keep up with the times? 'ESV, NV, and such like that', Why? So people can understand better? Is it you think you can touch God? and the only way is to put His words by your hand? (when you utter the words they are blasphemy from your forked tongue) Man always wants to be editor and chief dismissing the man on the street. ..."but Kristin you can't say that..." Me, "Yes I can. God actually requires commands this of me. How can you not see that which is right before your eyes?" I sound read like an asshole most of the time, I am self aware; I think it's because I have clear base lines on which to build systems. They have no base lines, we can't have nuance until we have a base. I am under a strong impression your base line is corrupted. No one at all ever wants to hear that the code they wrote over someone else's code is bad and they should have left it alone. No one ever in the whole world want's to hear that everything they were taught is wrong. "Kristin! You can't say it's wrong because they believe in something different." I said what they are taught is wrong so yeah I guess what they believe would be wrong. As a fundamentalist with an outward view and inward some people are wrong, some shit people think is ok is not ok to do. There is a lot of that going around still, it's what they have been taught is wrong-this creates situational, multi generational, national, and mayhaps global issues. Capture a belief system capture a people. Remove a belief system Add a belief system It is our base line system. There are consequences when there is no punishment, your sins have not been forgiven.
Our history needs to be written away
Wheew that was a diversion down a meandering path, I hope you were holding my hand. Let me continue...
Back in time all the way and a bit forward
Isaac son of Abraham, in turn, fathered Jacob, also named Israel, the father of the Israelites.
At this moment in time the Israelites have been freed and are back in the land God has chosen for them.
Moses comes down the mountain
'God says you should have no king'
the people insist
they want to be like everyone else
So long story short (it's actually a short story) God tells Moses to tell the people that if they insist on having a King make sure he is an Israelite, ya know the thing with the King David line and all that. There is criteria for a King, "Because God knows why...".
How far back can we see?
The sacrifice of Children almost to the insistence in some way or another is almost strange...oh you thought Jesus was your Messiah? Just a little wiggle and a shake and a twitch of my nose, not said rudely but matter of factly that you may read Revelations but that book is fiction to one and two things can be true at once and both can be true at the same time.
Be still and listen
One day I'll tell you a story
The time is aways now there is no time
There once was a time when the children were instructed to don their door ways with blood to mark them from the destruction of the destroyer.
