Why would I have to go to religion to "dig any further" ? I don't see the logic here
I know you don't see the logic, I couldn't see it for years either. Go to church, memorize these things, don't ask questions. It's become a system used to control people rather than to understand the Creator. You're supposed to think for yourself and ask questions. God gave you a mind to think and reason with.
It's the biggest deception that's ever happened in human history. I know what you guys are thinking and you have valid criticisms. Why are there thousands of different denominations and why do they all think they are right? Well, if you dig into their theories such as the pre-tribulation rapture you'll find that it's only been taught since 1830. So it cannot be right because if it was it would have been taught by the Apostles.
What about the Vatican? It used to part of the true Church by it was excommunicated in 1054.
One church is the right one, it's the Orthodox one. It can trace it's roots all the way back to the Apostles.
The deception goes right down to even the Bibles are wrong. In the Western world typically the best one you'll come across is the King James Bible. It's New Testament is good, however, the Old Testament is based on Masoretic texts that are from the 9th century. They are completely different than the Septuagint which is the version that the Apostles quoted from. It's over a 1000 years older. There's passages in there that if you read I don't know how you couldn't believe.
There's one that says what Jesus will be told when he is on the cross. Written by Solomon who lived around 800 BC. Aren't you curious how a book could be talking about events that wouldn't happen for several hundred years?
Let us lie in ambush for the righteous man
Because he is useless to us and opposes our deeds
He denounces us for our sins against the law
And accuses us of sin against against our upbringing
He claims to have knowledge of God
And he calls himself a child of the Lord
He has become a refutation of our purposes
Even seeing him is a burden to us
Because his life is unlike that of others
For his paths go in a different direction
We are considered by him as a hybrid
And he avoids our ways as immoral
He considers the last things of the righteous as blessed
And pretends God is his Father
Let us see if his words are true
And let us put these things to the test at the end of his life
For if the righteous man is a son of God, He will help him
And deliver him from the hand of those oppose him.
I'm telling you guys there's something here. Don't believe me, don't take my word for it. But don't just dismiss me because all you've ever seen is the watered down, no good Christianity that is presented to the masses to today. If you don't want to I cannot make you, but I promise you're going to regret it.
