among those who hate peace.

I am for peace,

but when I speak,

they are for war." (Psalm 120:6-7)

but the reason i'm posting this here is cuz she's a rly intense christian, and her bible studies are unironically dope like i love the connections she makes and sometimes she lowkey COOKS!!! Lol and recently she's started talking a looootta shit abt paul, which is kinda crazy cuz most christians just accept paul cuz they've been taught to not question anything he said cuz his writings are part of the bible and the bible is perfect, etc. but she has basically rejected paul, abd she made this long post a while ago basically tearing him apart, but she deleted it like 2 days later!!!

luckily, i screenshotted the whole thing! teehee

so right away we got some numerology goin, hell yea! but i'm confused cuz i thought jesus has 12 disciples, and that apostles were a broader group. like i swear paul named ppl as apostles like junia for example who wasn't one of jesus' 12 DISCIPLES... like i don't remember jesus naming 12 APOSTLES. it's also interesting that she made sure to point out that paul had 13 letters too. like 12 is such a big number for the israelites cuz like there are 12 tribes of israel in the bible so like breaking that number and making it 13 makes paul look like rly bad lolol anyways

i loved this part loll cuz she's literally just right . like paul is so self centered and does frequently contradict jesus with his teachings. but the gospels also contradict themselves too... she's right tho paul did say those things. and the fool part is just fun to me like it's just so on the nose. and the tribe of benjamin thing!!! this is what im FCKING TALKING ABTTTT. like her mind!! i love that she read paul casually mentioning that he's a benjaminite and she's like hmm lemme check exodus to see what god said abt the benjaminites. like i wanna be able to read the bible like that. ask questions and go connect the dots. like that's so fun! i would love an hour with kay to pick her brain. but omg she actually believes it fr, i'm just having fun

THE PART ABT ACTS AND HIM BEING CALLED HERMES... IS CRAZY AND HONESTLY JUST SO COOL MAN. NOURISHED BY ZEUS. LIKE THIS IS AWESOME.

and okokok the part abt paul's original name being saul. bro. buddy. i need a moment. this is literally what i LIVE for. this waz a mind blowing revelation 2 me like im not jokong bitch. lemme explain it if u don't kniw the old testament: when israel was established as a nation, the whole idea was that god would be king. but every other nation had a king, abd they were all powerful and scary, so the israelites started pestering their prophets for a king, cuz they didn't trust god enough to let him be king and protect them (gee wonder why). so god is like fine, u want a king i'll give u a king, and he sucks. and his name is saul. so god is supposed to be king, but it's ruined by some guy named saul.

this is where it gets crazy... jesus comes and his whole thing is that he's the messiah, so the king that was promised by the prophets. the ideal servant king idea from deuteronomy. and if he's not just the messiah but god, he literally is the king of the whole world. and then who is the first point of contact we have after the time of jesus? the very earliest christian writer? paul, aka.. SAUL. cuz yeah a shit ton people in the new testament just have 2 fuckin namez for some reason. and pauls name is SAUL!!!! like do u see what i'm seeing. THE PATTERNS!! LOVE.
