I was slightly wrong near the end of this.
I don't come to the shallows. That was borrowed from something similar, but it's not quite right. I don't seek shallows. I seek the light which will reveal the true form of the place I am in.
Yet seeking the path is itself the path.
I try to run with all eagerness. Yet the water restricts me. I cannot run. The bitterness of my own weakness is colder than the bottom ever was. Then I remember the promise. Back then, I had seen everything in one moment.
If I can only move slowly, I will.
I love you.
@pussy_mirror @kitsyntheia Hey, you're the literal first person in the entire thread to bring up what I actually said and not invent what I said out of convenience. And you are entirely right.
Take the log out of your eye before you pick out the splinter in your brother's eye.
I shall go now.
@IamJadehawk @baconcookie @kitsyntheia saying FIND CHRIST.
Ironically the most hate I've gotten is for being a professed christian that denies specific denomination. Cause everyone insists I MUST have one. Being trans isn't what has gotten me hated.
@IamJadehawk @baconcookie @kitsyntheia The church does not control Christ. They did not create Christ. They do not control his doctrine. Every denomination has at least one little 'something' they leave out that is in the Gospel. They get away with it cause few read it themselves. I'm not saying find Church. I'm
@IamJadehawk @baconcookie @kitsyntheia If you want an actual complaint of abuse and neglect and unfairness, I still wish the fact I was deaf had been discovered before first grade. There's more than once I got in trouble cause the teacher insisted I was being a snot and ignoring her.
Little Cookie did not understand
@IamJadehawk @baconcookie @kitsyntheia Bruh I was born in 1985. It won't be the case all around the world, but things were pretty okay here. People are still people, but saturday morning TV style bullying didn't happen. To anyone. If it did happen, I've never seen it in person.
@IamJadehawk @baconcookie @kitsyntheia Your mistake is making it about deserve.
Some things are action and consequence. Deserve has nothing to do with anything. If it was about deserve, no human who ever existed would have hope for the future.
@IamJadehawk @baconcookie @kitsyntheia Even if you want to deny divine command, humans are not psychologically fit for cycling romantic relationships. Then you have various health reasons. Holy hell if you had kids at some point.
What is unethical is to lie to people and say marriage isn't a very heavy choice.
@IamJadehawk @baconcookie @kitsyntheia Not every problem with them used to cause fear in parents is real, but they are not a GET OUT OF JAIL FREE card. To deny it is to admit you, yourself, were not allowed to know.
I say both sides lie, but everyone will jump up and insist I'm saying only LGBT lies.
@IamJadehawk @baconcookie @kitsyntheia Very brave of you to commit to that when you have not been personal witness to every life that exists today. I was once asked on the bus to school, by someone I barely knew, if I wanted to be set up with someone of the same sex.
In the hotspot of Christianity in America.
@nreal182@baconcookie @IamJadehawk @kitsyntheia Deny it if you like. You will find no human made solution in history that fixes what you want to fix. We have never found it in all the span of civilization. Complain about the law. Somehow get your own in to place. It won't stop. It doesn't work.
IT HAS NEVER ONCE WORKED.
@baconcookie @IamJadehawk @kitsyntheia the course will keep you safe in ways you could not predict or cause on your own. You'll gain things no human could have provided for you. Even in the midst of your enemies, you will be safe. This is my literal life even deep in Texas. Somehow I've not been burned at the stake.
@baconcookie @IamJadehawk @kitsyntheia Yes, there will be some hard truths to swallow when going to Christ's side. Your enemies will not be smote before your eyes. You will have to be humble and admit your own wrongs even as no one else does. You will even have to erase your own contempt for your abusers. Yet staying
@baconcookie@nreal182 @IamJadehawk @kitsyntheia Politics and Churches HAVE no power. The power in this world is Christ. This isn't about matters of Babylon. Even if all laws you hate were repealed overnight, you'd not get what you want. No one would. This is a problem of human to human relations. only one thing fixes that.
