Jesus was deeply grieved by the countless hardships people faced such as their physical, mental, emotional infirmities & the huge weight of guilt they carried from their sins. Jesus' response to ALL brokenhearted persons past/present: #COMPASSION

Despite ongoing resistance from the teachers of The Law of Moses, Jesus miraculously healed a man with a withered hand on the Sabbath. As he often did, Jesus silenced his opposers because they couldn't deny his good works or his artful teaching.

Jesus is known the world over for his renowned Sermon On The Mount, offering Many helpful bible teachings. In 1 simple verse, he summed up ~ What is most important in life & when we obey it, we're assured that our Most important needs will be met.

When selecting his first 12 closest followers, did Jesus choose them randomly? No, he prayed all night to his heavenly Father as it was a very important decision that would lay a solid foundation for his future church.

After deciding it felt right to make a character in #Modders #Jewish, I wanted to do a little bit of digging, because I know #Tattoos and #Piercings aren't considered #kosher, and her whole family has some far more extreme #BodyModification going on. (Furries)

Came across an interesting article which points out that the specific line in the #Torah / #OldTestament, #Leviticus 19:28, is somewhat vague and seems to apply more to 1) not self-mutilating for the dead or an idol, and 2) that God is not asking anyone to self mutilate. Also, when we apply that to the context of things happening at the time, we see some pretty brutal practices, and some pretty severe infection risks. That's sort of vagueness and context is common for Leviticus.

So I wonder if, in a future where these #BodyMods are common, and "Image of God" is not as widely interpreted to be a statement of physical likeness, could the opinion of what is "kosher" in itself be different here?

Becoming obvious to me there's a lot of biblically-illiterate users on Masto. Doesn't matter if you believe or disbelieve; many Jews are professed atheists also.

As is said in any court of law; "ignorance is no excuse."

I've moved over to the instance, so here's a new #introduction post:
