As the title states, what is the best version of God's word do we have today? I understand many versions are out there, and I assume many have been edited/altered to fit narratives.
What consensus do we have as the best/absolute version of God's word, directly from him that we know of and can get today?
Me personally, I grew up in a non-religious family. I have always had that voice in my head pushing me to always do good. I have always felt that there is a higher presence watching over us, but never trusted what most were saying.
I say this because I saw the corruption, the money grabbing, the lies...
I didn't trust, and still don't trust, many who try and claim their words as God's words. I'm talking about the Mega Churches where the pastors/evangelists/etc all are hypocrites, easily seen. Many more examples, but this gets my point across.
The last couple of years, I began my own journey finding God. I'm now slowly trying to get my wife on board, especially now...evil is RAMPANT and REAL. If Evil exists, then good exists...God exists, our Father, our Creator.
I want to further my journey down this path, but I want it to be REAL...the TRUTH.
Not lies and deceit.
I make this post not just for myself, but for everyone else who comes here searching for the Truth. The time is right, and the time is now, and I want us all to be freed from Evil's grasp.
Please share your thoughts and choices.
I'm a Protestant that has no memory of every being in church, although my mother says she used to take me what I was small.
I've always been agnostic. The secular narrative of the nature of the world never made sense, though, and that always bugged me which is why I'm not an atheist.
IE.
So this seems pretty unlikely, but I always had a big problem with step 1.
There was no space or time? Then how could the big bang appear out of nothingness?
It has always seemed to me that that accepting that, is similar to believing in God because you just have to accept it without proof.
But now, as the world falls into chaos, it seems like a Star Trek holodeck episode where something has gone wrong in the virtual world and crazy things are happening.
Before the Podesta emails were leaked in March 2016, I was pretty much a normie Republican. I thought the fight was between Liberals and Conservatives.
Back then there was all this really sick stuff going on at Comet Pizza. Their instagram was live. All the content from JimmyComet's social media could be viewed. And all these politicians were clearly loving this stuff. The shop owner was named one of the 100 most influential people in Washington DC. A pizza shop owner. Of the 535 members in the Senate and House, this pizza shop owner was more influential than most of them.
It was like we are living in a simulation and suddenly the mods started messing reality to see how we would react. Ever since then things just keep getting more and more crazy.
And so is it a battle between the Big Government Liberals and the Small Government Conservatives? No. Clearly not. The RINOs are on the same team as the Democrats.
And so is it a battle between the elites and the populists. Clearly yes. But the elites really seem to be worshiping Satan. And the Populists do not.
And so is this really a battle between good and evil? If the elites are worshiping Satan that means that they believe in powers from another realm. And if they are worshiping evil and believe in Satan, and they have all this power and money, how do we fight them?
They believe Satan exists. And they have all the power and money.
I don't know if I am sure I believe in God, but I sure would rather be on His side than their side. I've tried to pray a few times but it is so unfamiliar to me to me that I feel like I don't know what I'm doing.
But one thing is for sure. This fight is between good and evil and I want to be on the side of good. And I'm also sure that the frens side is the good side.
I also found irregularities in what we've been taught through science as you pointed out. It's partially why I've always felt like an outsider in a way, things just never added up.
It seems like you and I have crossed the same path at different points in our lives. I hope you are able to find all the answers you seek, as do I.
Your pineal gland is your third eye. This is your route to a direct contact with the divine...let's not use the word God.. god means different things to different people. Our body is the temple..we do not need a church to go to.
If you are at a stage where your heart and mind agree..that there is no inner conflict going on...then you are at peace..jihad ..the mental inner fight has been won. . Have quiet times alone..need not be long..so you can hear the inner guidance ...
I found krishnamurti who despises all religions useful in helping you to explore your Self. You will find him online
Do not worship oneself
Absolutely..but who does ? Most people neither understand the Self or even like themselves..most are fullnof self hate they project on others
