loren ,

I just learned the meaning of the phrase “pearls before swine” and I cannot stop laughing. I had no fucking clue what it meant before now but I get it now and it is so funny to me

@loren honestly it’s just not a sensible thing to be doing with your pearls. i hope at least it’s a learning experience for those who make that mistake

loren OP ,

@pisscotheque please stop showing our pigs your pearls! they do not care!!

@loren
Showing pearls to pigs and them getting pissed off and ripping you apart must have been a way bigger problem back then to warrant warning people about

there were two guys hanging out in a graveyard, so Jesus scared all the pigs into the water and they drowned and everyone was like Jesus can you please leave.

Jesus Restores Two Demon-Possessed Men 28When he arrived at the other side in the region of the Gadarenes, c two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs met him. They were so violent that no one could pass that way. 29“What do you want with us, Son of God?” they shouted. “Have you come here to torture us before the appointed time?” 30Some distance from them a large herd of pigs was feeding. 31The demons begged Jesus, “If you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.” 32He said to them, “Go!” So they came out and went into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and died in the water. 33Those tending the pigs ran off, went into the town and reported all this, including what had happened to the demon-possessed men. 34Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw him, they pleaded with him to leave their region.

    This fig tree did nothing wrong

    12The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. 13Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. 14Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it.

    They are allegedly parables but the parables often make no sense or are a real stretch. Like that one is allegedly about how the fig tree with leaves but not fruit is about how ppl have something that looks like religion but isnt really, but it also clearly says it just wasnt time for figs yet so it just reads like Jesus got pissed and killed a tree. The pearls before swine thing I truly have no idea what the point is.

    Idk if it was just the style of writing at the time and the many translations and rewrites, but Jesus comes across as just like wandering around randomly saying nothing most of the time and getting mad and speaking in riddles.

    loren OP ,

    @jonny @ashinonyx hahaha what the fuck to all of these

    loren OP ,

    like the phrase just bounced around in my head attached with no meaning up until this point so it was so funny to connect the meaning finally
