Jordan (Damn Good Tech)

Going through Leviticus now in my #Bible reading, but I've noticed something interesting.

Leviticus gets an (understandable) bad rap for being restrictive and legalistic...sometimes downright weird, like sowing 2 types of seed or using 2 types of garments.

But overall the laws have a tone of surprising mercy, asking people to reign in their desire for vengeance and break down walls of distrust of foreigners.

The laws seem freakishly merciful...not just for Israel, but for the #US.

I wonder how many Christians actually do read their Bible. Or if they look up "borders" and read passages of God providing detailed borders for their own nation, while at the same time failing to read about the future Jerusalem, where God's desire is for porous borders...with open, frequent trade with foreign nations, where EVERY tribe, EVERY tongue, and EVERY people live in harmony.

I try not to post too much about politics (I try to stick with apolitical tech...although I realize it's hard for tech to be apolitical), but this has been on my mind a while.
