Christian Intimacy Question

[_zeezrom]

Hello MDB members. I'm going to make an effort not to be confusing. I'll get straight to the points and no beating around the bush. No sarcasm and so symbolism. I pray this question makes sense.

This is a question for the men out there.

Suppose Jesus visited you late one night. You question as Thomas and he invites you to sit close to him and feel the wound in his side. As your face nears his body, you notice a clean smell that draws you in. His resurrected body is very fine. Just as you reach in to touch his wound, you notice his strong hand on your back.

Question: Are you uncomfortable at this point or do you love every bit of it? Do your fingers dive in or do you hesitate?

Thank you!

Zee.

uh, sick man... sick.

I take that you would be uncomfortable.

I very much doubt I'd have asked to thrust my hand into his side in the first place.

I'd be good with just a glimpse of the wound.

What if he invited you to touch it? Would you refuse him? Thanks!

Seems with all the talk of "spiritual eyes" (i.e. 11 witnesses and the like) that TBM's seem to forget one of the main purposes of the endowment ... to allow one to know, for a surety that true messengers have been sent to you. You've been instructed on exactly how to test them and it involves human physical contact and acknowledgement of flesh and bone ... not some spiritual eyes crap ... which you were taught would be of the devil.

So Zee, yes, I would want to touch, with my physical hands the wounds in his hands/feet/side.

I assume the experience would be so intense that I would need his hand on my back to steady me. They say he is the bridegroom.

I'd be satisfied with just looking at the nail holes in his hands & wrists.

I would run for an Aramaic-Hungarian dictionary (with IPA symbols)

(Among the symbols of the IPA, 107 letters represent consonants and vowels, 31 diacritics are used to modify these, and 19 additional signs indicate suprasegmental qualities such as length, tone, stress, and intonation.)
such as ɐ ɔ ə ɟ ɥ ɯ ɹ ᴚ ʇ ʌ ʍ ʎ
such as Ɔ ɔ, Ɛ ɛ, Ɖ ɖ, Ŋ ŋ, Ɣ ɣ, Ʃ


... because I want to identify voiceless alveolar lateral affricates and voiced labial-velar plosives. I am so maximalist. (No, not in the the marxist concept, not in the sense of biblical or revisionist maximalism. To be precise.)


Other way, I would not have any conception what does that weird costumed guy want.

No sarcasm and no symbolism.
You know, I've got accustomed to read and listen foreign languages.
In our world, there are only about 15 million human being who use really human, understandable language.

Hey Jesus, thanks for asking, but I'm good.

I would settle for a photo of the two of us or even an autograph.
