I told myself a long time ago, "I just want the truth. No matter what that is, as long as it's the Truth."
There have always been some things that have bothered me about the scriptures. When you start reading from the beginning and as soon as God is done creating the whole universe and world, suddenly His next move is to destroy it all with the flood. He states that he "regrets making man" and then destroys all of them except a few? This from an all knowing-all powerful God. First someone slips into his garden and ruins his creation. Next his servants lust after this new creation in their desire for women. They commit an abomination upon this creation that is just getting started. Then to correct this the creation is flooded and destroyed, all just to start over.
Sorry, but that alone does not sound like a competent God. He makes us then immediately regrets it?? Sounds like a God who has emotional issues, rather than a God that is all wise and all powerful. How could this God run an entire universe if he couldn't get this one planet right?
This never made any sense.
For me, I do believe there is a loving competent Lord out there. A creator of all, and even the Father of our Messiah (Jesus).
I believe with all of my heart that we have been severely lied to, and what we know of the story today is that bold song and dance about he who controls the past controls the present. If, say, we all knew that this was the devil's creation, and that everything here was provided by satan, for his own pleasure of trying to "play God," then most of us would step away from it all and live a life more like what Jesus was actually telling us to do. Instead of chasing that almighty dollar (an invention of satan) and start living a life of the Spirit (as the scriptures state). But, no. Everyone (even the church) chases the material as if it holds the key to their happiness.
These are red flags in my eyes.
So, I look where I am not supposed to.
Why?
Because that is where the truth is always hidden.
I do not expect anyone else to follow my path, nor do I want them to. I will blaze my own trail to that Truth.
Others are only getting in the way of that.
