Great post.
I was raised Mormon and when I left the faith in my 30's I tossed all formerly held beliefs as I could with it. However, because I have had some very spiritual experiences I knew there was something bigger driving the universe. It was the repeated drawing back to Christ [who, when I had left the LDS faith I had determined Christ was just the Joseph Smith of His era] that made me realize the God of the bible was my God, and the God of us all, I have never heard another person claim the same final reason they came to the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as the simple thing that finally did it for me.
Chiasms in the bible. An impossibility to plan out. They had to be divinely created.

I want to tell you - studying chiasms must have been like the taking drugs was to you...literally mind blowing!
Once I had my faith properly restored I never stopped seeking. A subject verboten here, but which I haven't discredited is flat earth. I'm not saying it's flat...but it may just be much, much larger than we have been led to believe. It may be toroidal...it could be shaped like a mobius strip and I hope like crazy that I live long enough to get to a place in my life where I can explore dichotomies like this in peaceful, prayerful joy.
I ended up here...because I try to take the road less traveled whenever I get to a juncture in my studies. I came upon Q on Nov 6th or 7th, 2017.
