he following is a chat I had a couple of nights ago. It is completely unedited and unchanged from the original conversation -- which I admit, was mostly a monologue. :) The only thing I did change was the name of my online friend, to protect his privacy. Be warned that this, being unedited and uncensored, is raw. I thought about creating a more polished version of this, but as an experiment I also wanted to show the raw idea as it developed, multiple warts and all.
Me: keith
my_online_friend: whats up
Me: i just figured something out
my_online_friend: what
Me: something when you look carefully, that thing that is sucking so bad is an opportunity
Me: to get it right this time
Me: what i have failed to get right so far
Me: sometime, not something in that first sentence
my_online_friend: oh
my_online_friend: i have no clue
Me: well, think about it
my_online_friend: im mentally challenged.
Me: well i saw this thing blow up.. like losing a friendship really suddenly
Me: when i realized that the reason was that i was only put in place to put two other people together -- and i had done my job! it's like a grand scheme
Me: but what i wanted was not what was important, because what i really want is more than what i want here
Me: so i will almost always never get what i want here, if ever
Me: because i would rather have what i really want
my_online_friend: we have to take what god brings us
Me: indeed! u said it
Me: if we take more, it is theft!
Me: and there is much theft going on in.. most relationships nowadays have started with theft.. thus the divorce rate
Me: "what had god puts together, let no person take apart"... but most of these people were not put together by god!
my_online_friend: exactly
my_online_friend: mostly drawn by hard cock
Me: i've stolen most of my relationships
Me: that's why i have them pulled out from under me
Me: but me being dense and thick-headed, i go hit my head against the wall again
my_online_friend: we all go there
Me: the only one given to me was my first, jonathan
Me: the others i have stolen
Me: without realizing it at the time
Me: and even that one was stolen now that i think of it -- dang it
Me: i crapped on all of them
Me: ugh smoking pot reminds of me what i have tried to forget
Me: this was never given to me, but i liked the candy
Me: and so i made the deal
Me: and then i was hooked
Me: marriage is a crock nowadays... even only 1% of marriages that last were put together by god
Me: they are supposed to come out of nowhere, with no planning -- relationships
Me: then we'd KNOW it was god
Me: see?
Me: "what god has put together..."
my_online_friend: yeap i agrreee
Me: EVERYONE can see it.... when god puts two people together... because it awe-some -- in the real definition of that word -- it invokes awe
Me: u can see when two people u never thought.. then.. what the... whoa... like... they are made for each other. like, really
Me: what did the bible mean when it said, "what god put together, let no man take apart"? He wasn't speaking of a divorce degree
my_online_friend: exactly
Me: he was speaking of someone with a lustful trying to seduce the a member of Union put Together by God
Me: lustful eye and heart
Me: The seduced commits adultery, but the seducer commits theft
Me: He is the devourer, he tears apart a Union Put By God
Me: But .. make no mistake... that is why we cannot judge as men, as Jesus told us.
Me: Just because two people have a marriage decree legally does not mean God put them together.
Me: In that case, they should pray and annul their marriage. It was never real.
my_online_friend: exactly
Me: And release each other to the one God really made for them.
Me: So there really is no such thing as "divorce". There is only "marriage" (union of two souls, unionized by God), and this continues or else there is "death do us part" or the Seducer/Thief lusts and seduces the adulterer.
Me: The modern church makes a mockery of this.
my_online_friend: exactly
Me: This misplaced focus on gay marriage by the religious establishment is externalized, projected fear about their own real failure -- in sanctioning sham marriages and then having to produce divorces admitting failure.
Me: Because the churches HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO PERFORM MARRIAGE. It is the SOLE ACT of GOD.
Me: But again, humans, wanting to do the "work of God", do not even understand the meanings of those words, btu instead think they should do "the work FOR God"
Me: They don't want to "recognize" (what does that mean? think about it.. it means to OBSERVE and SEE whether "this is what God has put together")
Me: They don't want to recognize same-sex marriage... because u know what?
Me: You can look at one of two ways: (1) gay marriage is the result of the mockery by men deciding marriage at all or (2) gay marriage is ironically saying, "Um, yeah, I can put two of WHATEVER I want together.. did i not say I would raise these stones to praise me? Did you not think that I really meant it?"
Me: God ironically saying that
Me: Either way... I submit it is hard evidence that the church "sanctioning" marriage rather than really RECOGNIZING "what did god put together?"
Me: think about it... what about the roman centurion praying to the God of the Jews?
Me: Peter had seen a vision of all matter of beasts, most of which would be unkosher for Jews, and he heard a voice say, "Arise, Kill and Eat!"
Me: And Peter told the voice, "Lord, how can I? I will not, I have not ever nor will I ever eat anything UNCLEAN!"
Me: The Lord answered, "What I HAVE CLEANSED, Let NO MAN CALL UNCLEAN."
Me: Does that not sound awfully like, "What God has put together, Let NO MAN PUT ASUNDER"?
Me: Yeah, it's the AUDICITY of the CREATOR to decide WHAT HE CAN DO. Imagine that!
Me: Yes, I said those things were unclean. But, I cleaned them. Can I not do anything?
my_online_friend: exactly
Me: I have been blind.
my_online_friend: we all have.
Me: Yes, but now it's time to open our eyes.
Me: It is not too late, while we are here.
Me: Yes, it is true, in the beginning, he created male and female. THere is no denying this.
my_online_friend: yeap several of my young friends are already dead.
Me: But really, this was not only physically, but spiritually and in every dimension.
Me: That is simply one picture of what it takes to form a union.
Me: Not all Spiritual Unions will be for the purpose of creating physical children through the physical bodies.
Me: We can celebrate the picture of Female-Male (yes in that order, too I think) relationships as the Highest Image of the Ideal.
Me: Yet, what God has cleansed, let no man call unclean.
Me: And how do we know? We _recognize_ what is put together by God.
Me: How do we know? It's pretty frickin' obvious.
Me: When someone finds someone else in a way that is too amazing to have been 'set up' (eHarmony is so ungodly omg i never thought of that)
Me: And when they fit together so well after sucha meeting... neither was looking to meet the other.. they just did, and it was magic
Me: Let NO MAN TAKE APART what GOD PUT TOGETHER
Me: Shame on us for not accetping that, no matter what. NO MATTER WHAT.
Me: Age difference? Who are we, God?
Me: Gender? Who are we, God?
Me: Why not let God judge? If it is not put together by God, it will fall apart of its own accord
