Dear tumblr,
Im about to tell you my biggest, darkest, deepest, secret. When I was younger I would always go to preschool (the most prestigious one ever). It was called Lil Miss Superstar Academy for Young Achievers. My mom was really afraid though, because I was so much slower than all the other kids (I would put a circle shape in a square slot and junk). Ugh I was so dumb. The joke was always, “do you think Emily will actually eat the cereal inside the box this time, and not just the box.” It was so embarrassing, but honestly I didn’t even know I was that dumb, because I was so dumb. I remember back when I was little emaree. Kids at school were so mean and would call me dumb, clepto, stupid girl (the clepto is for another story lmaoooooooo). It’s hard to believe though, because most of you are probably saying, “How could emily be so dumb, if she is so smart now.” I thought the same thing, so this is why I’m telling you this now…
The accident happened. At age 6, I was being my dumb usual self, when I stumbled upon purple gloop on the floor at preschool. Purple gloop was my favorite and I ate every single drop I found on the floor. The gloop sent me into an instant cryogenic coma, and I fell into a deep slumber (I was probably actually smarter in my coma lmaoooooo). But then some time passed, shit got real, I woke up, and whatever I was smart. I was like a mathematical genius, and could see about 5 dimensions. Now I use my powers to save people like I was saved. I’m an inspiration to everyone because of my great story. My movie comes out in 2018! Seriously though I’ll kill you in a nerd competition, and I even read really big books for fun haaaaaa. So thats my story.
This is an enormous chain and I’m sorry, but I need to say this:
The laws in the Old Testament were set forth by god as the rules the Hebrews needed to follow in order to be righteous, to atone for the sin of Adam and Eve and to be able to get into Heaven. That is also why they were required to make sacrifices, because it was part of the appeasement for Original Sin.
According to Christian theology, when Jesus came from Heaven, it was for the express purpose of sacrificing himself on the cross so that our sins may be forgiven. His sacrifice was supposed to be the ultimate act that would free us from the former laws and regulations and allow us to enter Heaven by acting in his image. That is why he said “it is finished” when he died on the cross. That is why Christians don’t have to circumcise their sons (god’s covenant with Jacob), that is why they don’t have to perform animal sacrifice, or grow out their forelocks, or follow any of the other laws of Leviticus.
When you quote Leviticus as god’s law and say they are rules we must follow because they are what god or Jesus wants us to do, what you are really saying, as a Christian, is that Christ’s sacrifice on the cross was invalid. He died in vain because you believe we are still beholden to the old laws. That is what you, a self-professed good Christian, are saying to your god and his son, that their plan for your salvation wasn’t good enough for you.
So maybe actually read the thing before you start quoting it, because the implications of your actions go a lot deeper than you think.
