Again with today's reading, the specifics simply slayed me. The movie rolling in my mind of Moses trying to keep up with those directions had me rolling with laughter.
My "Believer on Retainer" told me I didn't really have to read all of those specifics about the building of the ark. I have to admit though, I was intrigued by the specific directions.
It does tend to lend to the authenticity of the Bible. Like, why would anyone leave that in after all of these years if it weren't important. I just keep thinking that through its many writes and rewrites, someone would have said
"can't we just leave all this useless drivel out, no one reads it anyway"
And because its still here, well to me that sort of says something; what is says I'm not quite sure.
I wish a had a video of myself reading about the blood and the mutilation of the bull, it would probably be quite funny.
The details, are confusing, again to me. I mean what is all the "fat that covers the entrails, and the appendage that is on the liver...." about?! and the blood! They are dabbing blood, pouring blood, sprinkling blood, pretty much everything but drinking blood.
The only sense I can make out of any of it, is like, its a big test. An obstacle course, to prove your love for the Lord?
I know I'm not suppose to be trying to figure it all out. Sometimes however, thats hard for me to turn off. At times I can be a bit like a 4yr old. I want to know why? Why this? Why that? Why?
I must say that I do like that the smell if the bull's entrails burning is a smell that is sweet and satisfying to the Lord.
I enjoy that visual.
