The main reason that the Bible is bullshit is because people use a book to find spirituality, and this is not possible. Spirituality comes from inside yourself. No, not your guts, not your blood, but in your fucking mind. When some asshole comes along, with a series of stories, and begins to tell you,"Oh, the truth is here, on this parable or number, and you must show up here to understand this from me, as I am the beacon of God!"
You need to realize that these type of people are fucking bullshit! We don't know shit! None of us have a direct line to the thing that made all of us have to be here. If you want to be stupid enough to believe that God created creatures to battle against you, against God's will, although he is all knowing, all powerful, and omnipresent....then you are a fucking retard!
Turbanhead, just some more thoughts.
Man, what I see in you is a Truth seeker. You want the Truth. Looks to me like you're looking pretty hard for it. And there is a promise in that Book ya dissing. "If you seek and search for Me with all your heart, I will be found by you" says God. And Jesus said, “Ask and keep on asking and it will be given to you; seek and keep on seeking and you will find; knock and keep on knocking and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who keeps on asking receives, and he who keeps on seeking finds, and to him who keeps on knocking, it will be opened." Lots more on this front, but I want to encourage you in this.
John 1:1 "In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with God, and the WORD was God....and the WORD became flesh, and dwelt among men." We don't see the Bible as being just a book. What it is, seriously, is a chronicle and history and epic poem about the WORD, Jesus Christ the Messiah. When you get deep into it, on EVERY PAGE, in EVERY STORY, you will find that WORD John was talking about, deeply engrained into every facet of every letter. There is even a untranslatable word called the Aleph-Tav scattered everywhere in the Hebrew, at really important places. You won't find it in the English, because there is no word to say what it means. But Aleph and Tav are the first and last letters in the Hebrew alphabet. The First, and the Last. The phrase, “the First and the Last,” is a title that is used five times in the Bible, twice in Isaiah of God (Isaiah 44:6; 48:12) and three times in Revelation of the Son, of Jesus (Revelation 1:17; 2:8; 22:13). He is the First and the Last, the beginning and the end, of EVERYTHING. He is the Source of true spirituality, and that is why I love Him.
And nothing we say will make much sense until you cry out to Him, with all your heart and say, "Jesus!!? If You are the source of sprituality, would You show me? Would You reveal Yourself to me? Let me know if these things are lies, or if You are the TRUTH."
Truth is not a thing, or a phrase. Truth is a PERSON.
Tbh religion is primarily used as a coping mechanism for things such as death, meaninglessness, and just thinking things are gonna get better bc there is a plan
Here are 2 proven truths from stories in the Bible. When Moses closed the walls of the sea on the Eqyptians, we found the remains of them in the middle of the ocean. When God rained Sulfar on Sodom and Gomaorrah, that land is covered in the most pure sulfar on earth. You are free to believe what you like, but these two facts are historically accurate in the bible, and both are examples of God's power and work. The bible was written over 1500 years, by 40 men. This is not possible without a eternal being to guide them, aka God. I would like to ask that you at least study the word, because from your post's you clearly do not understand it.
Sorry for taking so long to respond bro, I just feel like I am drowning....spiritually, financially, metaphysically, or whatever else. I want you to know that I have love for you, brother! This life is a fucking joke in so many ways and I have so many questions for God and why this shit sucks so fucking bad all the time! I am not playing, going to be honest, and not blowing smoke up people's asses! Like I said already, my boy Raul Hilliard makes me think twice about God and so forth, but I am not sold on anything.
It is all good man. I shouldn't have called the Bible bullshit. I am bullshit! Everything is bullshit besides being kind to each other.
How ironic is your supurflous rant...lol
Bro when I was a kid I never knew I was as a person. Didn't know where my ancestors came from or anything. But the system said my ancestors came from Africa did research and realize that Africans didn't see us as one of there own. Fast forward to age 34 I heard about flat earth. I researched that the Bible talks about flat earth. So I was like wow it's true; then I started reading from the beginning. Got to Deuteronomy 28 it talks about the bessings and curses of the children of Israel. And I saw that it was talking about my ancestors. Even the whole world ( governments) know who we are as a people. Yes spirituality comes from inside. The Bible isn't just spiritual book but it's also a historical book of the world. No I don't follow religions, how can you believe in the flat earth biblicaly verified but call it bs ? No one said spirituality comes from the blood. It's ok though we got love for ya.
