Now the power and intent of my writing makes sense.
We need people actually reading and listening...
Ahemmm Well, Jesus would probably have made your "powerful intent" a lot clearer lol... Jesus wasn't exactly clear Himself. Sell everything yiu own, and come and follow me. If taken at face value, NOBODY is going to do that. But.... maybe that's not His intent. If somebody strikes you on the right cheek, turn and give them yiur left cheek too... Now WHO is going to do that. You could have Bible scholars analyze every command and lecture Jesys ever gave, and break it down to intent. Im doing the Lords work here

Contradictions in Jesus’ words, often noted in biblical studies, usually arise from differences in Gospel accounts (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) regarding timing, specific wording, or context. Examples include varied accounts of his last words, discrepancies in the timing of the last supper, and differing instructions on carrying a staff.
Commonly Cited Contradictions in Jesus' Words Signs Given to Generation: In Mark 8:12, Jesus says no sign will be given to that generation, but in Matthew 12:39, he states that the sign of Jonah would be given. The Sign of Jonah's Timing: Jesus predicts he will be in the earth three days and three nights, but in many accounts, this only spans two nights (Friday and Saturday). Healing the Centurion's Servant: Accounts vary regarding whether Jairus says his daughter is dead or dying when he first approaches Jesus (Matthew 9:18 vs. Mark 5:23).
Instructions on Supplies: In Matthew 10:10, Jesus tells disciples not to take a staff, while in Mark 6:8, he says to take nothing except a staff. Some interpretations suggest the Matthew text means "do not acquire" a new one. The Last Supper Timing: The Synoptic Gospels (Matt, Mark, Luke) indicate the last supper was a Passover seder, while John places it on the day before the Passover seder.
Contextual Factors Affecting Interpretation Different Perspectives: The four Gospels were written for different audiences and focus on different theological aspects of Jesus’ life. Contextual Nuance: Some "contradictions" are interpreted as context-dependent. For instance, instructing followers to both "honor father and mother" (Matt 15:4) and to "hate" them (Luke 14:26) is widely understood as prioritizing devotion to God over family.
Translation/Editing: The authors often edited or translated Jesus’ words to suit their specific narratives, such as changing "poor" in Luke to "poor in spirit" in Matthew. Come Reason! Come Reason! +2

Focus, Dom...
Just some thoughts;
She's gonna be allright got no more tears to cry she's got the strength only facebook can supply
{Is she gonna' be OK? Will metta be enough? Will AI protect her? Cause life is really tough}
There's meaning and wisdom every post she reads got a brand new church ditched her rosary beeds
{She's searching for meaning The wisdom of the net She's ready for anything She hasn't tried yet}
She's found Jesus of the Internet she's born again never has to be lonley always got a friend Though she never may meet him she can feel him through the screen Jesus of the internet on an E Machine
{She's found religion on the web Tries to beat the odds Philosophy a'plenty An altar to the gods A prayer for her doubts A spell for her lover A chant for clarity And her crystal's favorite color She's got it all covered...}
Hasn't seen the sunshine not since late 95 makes up for it on youtube where she feels so alive visit the Holy Land and Disney or Maine a timeline of a Signapore train
{When Mormons come knockin' She wishes them well She knows Jesus makes burritos At Taco Hell The politics of morality The pride of US residents Who would know better Than the Pope and the President}
{Another click-bait trigger sends her down a rabbit hole Just the tome she needs to save her soul Written by a basement dwelling troll}
DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME HERE... CANCEL CULTURE IS ALIVE AND WELL @JPF! YOU'LL NEVER KNOW WHAT'S ALREADY BEEN DELETED...

Well obviously she was catholic on the rosary beads . So basically she switched religions . I don't see the difference real life or the internet she found peace 30 years of humans online brings a different perspective. Its not as weird as it was in infancy. But there's a huge difference. She's not finding any particular perd9n 9nline, but could be. She's finding salvation online, meaning snd purpose, when the people there may not be what you thought. But for some its fine. It just got me thinking in the beginning There is no difference . she found her salvation, whats the difference in a church or online . The end results are the same. My comedy act of fairytales has nothing to do with this song . Its staying on point on lyrics Yeah, you could see it that way. Unless you think the real God, God of Abraham is real, whereas online its all fake idols I'm not getting in religious debate . Just a observation on beads which is Catholic
