  • My journey in and out of Christianity.
    Updated: Since I have so many comments now, I will no longer be able to reply to all of them.
    If you tell me I never had the Holy Spirit, a real relationship with Jesus, or I missed some verse in the Bible that I actually read hundreds of times, I will not respond. You can see all the many comments on that I have already responded to.
    If you tell me I just need to become a Catholic, Greek Orthodox, Muslim, Buddhist, or Jew, I will not respond. I am no longer interested in manmade religions.
    If you tell me your personal story, I will read it, but it will not sway me. It is not proof of anything other than you made a good change in your life.
    If you have solid evidence that Jesus actually existed, please provide it. The scholars are ALL waiting for your evidence.
    If you quote Bible verses to someone who knows the Bible inside and out but no longer believes it, you are wasting your time. But I know it makes you feel good.
    If you are here to encourage me, I will probably respond!
    If you actually have something new to share, I will respond.
    I appreciate ALL the comments, but I am getting tired of saying the same thing over and over and over again.
    Much love to ALL!

    I had the opposite experience. I didn't grow up in a Christian household, but a household of abuse. In my teen years I dated an abusive man who went on to stab me in the chest and back with a kitchen knife. When I was dying I shed my atheist beliefs and prayed to God for my life. The next couple days I battled for my life. I even died on the operating table. I have no doubt there is a God now. The peace I felt when I left my body and was surrounded by white light is the same peace I feel when I pray to Jesus. I feel His presence when I pray and it's so intense sometimes it brings tears to my eyes. I recently posted my testimony on my page to spread the word that God is real. I find it interesting that anyone can know the truth and then just completely turn away from it. I suppose some people can read the word but still not have a relationship with Christ. I've see God change many lives including mine. I would have to be willfully ignorant not to see it.

    I have been on a spiritual journey since my husband passed away 9/1/23. A few days before he died (he was in the hospital) and he was on a ventilator and couldn't speak, he wrote the word "God" on a piece a paper. I was scared because we never went to church and we weren't religious. I called the hospital chaplain to the room and she said a healing prayer over him and he then wrote the words, "to be a better person" on the piece of paper. He died a few days later without us ever speaking to each other again. I'm left with what he might have been feeling or seeing at that time. He was never religious and didn't believe in God, but he always said we are pure energy. I have been finding great comfort in the teachings of Buddhism. Love to all who read my story here. May you all find comfort and peace in whatever spiritual journey you take.❤

      She is NO scholar. She's an embarrassment is all. She can't even make it past the first verse about God creating.
      The 1LofT states that energy can't be created or destroyed, it can't happen naturally. One aspect of the 2LofT shows that the universe is winding down, usable energy is becoming less usable. It is clear creation had to be done supernaturally at some point yet it is still denied because people are just too proud to accept that, among other things.

      Most people have heard “Jesus/God loves you”. Does that mean they have a relationship with God and will go to heaven? Depends on the individual. A relationship is 2 sided, you receive love and you give love back. God showed His love by suffering, dying on the cross and rising from the dead for you, now you show Love back by repenting of your sins (lying, stealing, sexual sins, taking the Lord’s Name in vain etc) and believing in Jesus as your Lord and saviour so that Heaven is in your future not hell

      It's heretical to say this.
      You can always reject God. You can be the seed that takes root but the roots are shallow so the plant whithers and dies.
      Did you know modern American evangelism-Baptist movements are the first religious group to think like this?
      In almost every other Christian sect, you can accept Christ and then go on to reject him. And doesn't that make sense based on what you see? Baptist churches are full of people who accept him and then go on to reject him.
      This false doctrine was dreamt up by tent preachers in the 1800's.

      Thanks so much for your honesty. For me it was the list of "Do's and Don'ts" that made me feel inadequate and further away from God. Finally I decided to leave church, not saying everyone should, but I needed to be uninfluenced and started studying the New Covenant on my own. See in the beginning I was sold out on the unconditional love and safety in the Saviour. Although having good intentions, when churches preach law it becomes a whole legalistic religious organization that robs us of our true identity and freedom that we are supposed to have.
      What I found is that religion says "Fix yourself and God/we will accept you" while the original Gospel says "Come just as you are and I will give you righteousness/(okayness) as a gift". Religion says "You have to work hard to stay forgiven and right" while the true Gospel says "With a single sacrifice I have made you perfectly accepted and irreversibly forgiven for ever". Religion says "You have to work to get close to God" the Gospel says "You cant get closer to your Father as He is in you and you are in Him". Religion says "God is in love with a future version of you" while the Gospel of Grace says "Dad loves you as you are right now unconditionally and is NEVER GOING TO CHANGE in this irreversibly restored relationship". Religion says "You are not good enough" and the true Gospel of Grace says "You are fully accepted, with a new heart which is righteous, holy and blameless. That's your identity, now live from your heart and be yourself". Religion is a bunch of rules to follow as a prerequisite to acceptance versus the Gospel of Grace providing immediate irreversible acceptance which will produce the "works"/performance over time, but our performance is SECONDARY to the "Work Christ did". This reveals a bit of what I found please see this link for more: ua-cam.com/video/RHxbZEwbhHg/v-deo.html
      This is 8 years later, if the true Gospel was preached people will break down the doors to get the Good News. In the mean-time I started a small bible study group where everyone is on the same level and unconditionally accepted, where everyone's opinion is valid and important. I guess the fight against the infiltration of religion is ongoing..

    I enjoyed your testimony very much. I love Jesus and the whole story of Scripture. Our Creator speaks to us in ways that make sense to us. The evidence that we are on the right track is the fruit in our lives. Are we loving? Do we care for others in a selfless manner? We can learn and follow principles that the biblical writings show us. God is far more than we can understand, wonderful, holy and beyond what we can full understand. That's okay. God is good. I loved God in Sunday school and in Seminary and even now after decades of following my faith. Loving all people is what it's all about.

    In 30+ years as a Christian, since my teens, I never questioned or researched the accuracy of the NT. I loved Jesus, and Word , pursued what I beleived to be a call on my life, stayed the course….through life experiences, I realized that many of my beliefs were faulty at best, robbed me of my agency, and were very harmful to my mental health. It took a while but I came to the same conclusions as you. I believe in God still, but not the OT, rather as pure energy that is in everything and connects all, a Creator and Infinite Intelligence, and not anymore a separate religious deity. I still appreciate and practice the teaching of Jesus, walk in love, and by Faith. I am free.

    I left the new age, or universalism, whatever you want to call it about 3 years ago to follow Christ. I know it inside out and explored many facets of it and spoke the lingo and helped evangelise the beliefs and philosophies for 15 years. I can't condemn anyone for going in that direction after living in such legalism for a long time, because at the end of the day i ended up there looking for freedom and healing and purging.... honestly when I came back to the simplicity of the gospel of Christ and his soft peaceful presence that feeling of restlessness and constantly seeking has ended.... and so much more than that. I've been lucky to end up in a church that isn't overly legalistic so my exploration of that fine line between grace and the law is between me and God, and that's the thing it always was for all of us. It's not about other people are doing it's about God. Listening to this, it's weird because it says a number of times that Jesus gave the gift of salvation to the gentiles because the Jews turned it away. I literally read a verse about it just yesterday because I was wondering the same thing you have just discussed. I also think the verasity of the Bibles authenticity has been fairly well established , by that i mean the people who wrote it believed that they had witnessed something, so the question is, do you believe THEM? Not whether Jesus existed or not, because records say he did exist and was crucified, so the question is do you believe he died for your Salvation? It's the same kind of thing when pagans say that the Christians have kept their pagan history from them like its some conspiracy when the only reason THEY even know about it is because the CHRISTIANS kept such a thorough record of it, it's like dude it's not a conspiracy, it's all over the internet, the Christians wrote about it😂 so anyway, I digress, back to the new age, the philosophy and methodology is incomplete. It just is. But i do get the rejection of a bunch of rules, but that's not what it is for me since coming back to it.... anyway I'll finish up my mini essay by saying that I'm glad you weren't massively antagonistic and disrespectful to the entire religion, it's exhausting and disappointing to see people doing that everywhere Because your experiences of Christianity are not necessarily mine so to me I'm not supporting something to bully people or harm them. I just want to follow Christ because I believe with my entire being that i was completely lost without him. That dosnt mean my life is perfect now, not yet anyway, but i can never go back to where i was. I believe what I am currently experiencing is deliverance, it's excruciatingly hard but necessary, because of where i was at. And the point of my comment here was to say, Don't close your mind to the idea of maybe coming back one day, because if your heart is genuinely set upon seeking truth, i believe that you will find your way back to Jesus. And one last thing, just because we happen to have been born in a Christian culture, does not mean that by default it is untrue.

I think that is much more damaging. We are coming right up to the end if you're a Christian you know that well it's not really the end we're coming right up to the great tribulation and it is crucial that people know God and accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior.

      @@Linda-wd4pc i hear what your saying and I've thought a lot about this watching videos of people coming back to christ and those falling away. And thats the thing, he wants us to know him as our OWN PERSONAL saviour. And i can say this for myself that i never would have known that if I didn't find it for myself. I always believed in God, my family was Christian, not super religious but they taught me that Jesus was God, the basics, so that was never a question for me, but why Jesus? Why the Bible? Specifically? If we remain open to finding the truth he will address these questions with us. Some people are raised in religion but can't understand what they are being saved FROM or why if you know what I mean, they need to go on a journey to find him for themselves. I even read some verses in the Bible that i think addresses some of this, I will try and find them for you. One thing though, I don't think this lady is trying to join a lynch mob because her tone doesn't imply hate, i think her questions are genuine.

      1The word of the Lord came to me: 2“Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Woe to you shepherds of Israel who only take care of yourselves! Should not shepherds take care of the flock? 3You eat the curds, clothe yourselves with the wool and slaughter the choice animals, but you do not take care of the flock. 4You have not strengthened the weak or healed the sick or bound up the injured. You have not brought back the strays or searched for the lost. You have ruled them harshly and brutally. 5So they were scattered because there was no shepherd, and when they were scattered they became food for all the wild animals. 6My sheep wandered over all the mountains and on every high hill. They were scattered over the whole earth, and no one searched or looked for them.
      7“ ‘Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: 8As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, because my flock lacks a shepherd and so has been plundered and has become food for all the wild animals, and because my shepherds did not search for my flock but cared for themselves rather than for my flock, 9therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: 10This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against the shepherds and will hold them accountable for my flock. I will remove them from tending the flock so that the shepherds can no longer feed themselves. I will rescue my flock from their mouths, and it will no longer be food for them.
      11“ ‘For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I myself will search for my sheep and look after them. 12As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness. 13I will bring them out from the nations and gather them from the countries, and I will bring them into their own land. I will pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines and in all the settlements in the land. 14I will tend them in a good pasture, and the mountain heights of Israel will be their grazing land. There they will lie down in good grazing land, and there they will feed in a rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. 15I myself will tend my sheep and have them lie down, declares the Sovereign Lord. 16I will search for the lost and bring back the strays. I will bind up the injured and strengthen the weak, but the sleek and the strong I will destroy. I will shepherd the flock with justice.
      17“ ‘As for you, my flock, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will judge between one sheep and another, and between rams and goats. 18Is it not enough for you to feed on the good pasture? Must you also trample the rest of your pasture with your feet? Is it not enough for you to drink clear water? Must you also muddy the rest with your feet? 19Must my flock feed on what you have trampled and drink what you have muddied with your feet?

      Then there is Amaziah in chronicals. He became king but didn't stay king for long because he started doing as the pagans did and allowed corruption into Israel. Heres a portion of the verse about him. I believe the story is referring to the importance of following God WILLINGLY. He dosnt want unwilling participation, he also addresses with the Pharisees following the law without acknowledging God in your heart, so it's important to God.
      1Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Jehoaddan; she was from Jerusalem. 2He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, but not wholeheartedly....

    I clearly remember sitting next to my grandmother in church when I was about 10 years old. We were listening to our preacher in the Methodist church in the Deep South. He was raging about how we are all sinners and when bad things happen to people it was because they were sinners. I could not take that in. My grandmother was one of the most wonderful, kind and giving people in the world who LOVED Jesus and the church - and yet she lost her vision and became blind. I endured many hardships throughout my life that most did not - and while I didn't enjoy it - I believe those challenges made me stronger and molded me into the person that I am. I've NEVER believe there was a Hell. I could go on and on.... I'm now 67 years old and hearing Jen Fishburne speak now is remarkable to ME - because she speaks what I believe is MY truth. And even though she speaks what I have already come to believe - it's incredibly inspiring and exhilarating to know there is yet another person out there that believes as I do!

I opened the bible and found my life in there. Knowledge,answers,peace,love,and God. 5 years later I trust no man to tell Who God is. I Go to God to find out who he is in His truth. I am praying for you. Because God tells Us many of my people will be deceived.

      @@instrumentengineer5823 When sharing the gospel with Muslims, it is not uncommon to hear the objection: “Where did Jesus say, ‘I am God; worship me’?” This is because many Muslims have been trained (by Muslim apologists) to ask this question of Christians and demand that the answer must be in those exact words. Of course, this is an inconsistent and irrational demand. As, if we applied the same criteria, then we could ask them to show us in the Qur’an where it says that to become a Muslim you have to use the exact words of the shahada (1st pillar of Islam): “There is no god but God. Muhammad is the messenger of God.” Although both statements in the shahada are in the Qur’an (Surah 37:35 and 48:29), they are not found in those exact words in that order as a formula for someone to become a Muslim. Nevertheless, often when Christians do show Muslims that Jesus claimed to be divine, their response is to argue that the Gospels have been corrupted and therefore we cannot trust what they say about Jesus.1 This is a strange claim since the Qur’an does not teach that the Gospels have been corrupted, but rather commands Christians and Muslims to judge by what is written in the Gospels:

      Till 325 AD, not a single historian or writer wrote about Jesus Christ or any of his disciples .
      BEFORE THE FIRST COUNCIL OF NICEA IN 325 AD, NOBODY ON THIS PLANET EVER HEARD OF THE NAMES JESUS CHRIST OR CHRISTIANITY.
      JESUS/ BIBLE / CHRISTIANTY WAS COOKED UP IN 325 AD, BY JEWESS HELENA , WHO SAT ON THE POPE'S CHAIR..
      The dead sea scrolls covering the period from Birth of Jesus to 68 AD , does NOT say one word about Jesus or his 12 Apostles.
      Hellenistic philosopher Philo Judaeus of Alexandria (20 BCE-50 AD/CE)-alive at the purported time of Jesus, and one of the wealthiest and best connected citizens of the Empire- makes no mention of Christ, Christians or Christianity in his voluminous writings. Nor do any of the hundreds of other historians and writers who flourished during the first THREE centuries of the common era.
      The DEAD SEA SCROLLS were all written by Pagan Essenes . None of them have been edited by later Christians, as is the case with some other Jewish literature.
      All the scrolls (except a treasure map known as the Copper Scroll) can be dated prior to A.D. 68 or 69, when the Qumran settlement was believed to have been destroyed by the Romans in the Jewish revolt.
      The oldest of the scrolls probably goes back to the middle of the third century B.C. The people of Qumran belonged to a Pagan religious group known as the Essenes.
      Pliny the Elder, who died during the volcanic destruction of Pompeii in the year 79 A.D., described a community of pagan Essenes living on the western shore of the Dead Sea, close to where Khirbet Qumran is situated.
      John the Baptist was an ascetic Essene . He was a vegan and was uncircumcised . Various literary sources like Josephus and Philo tell clearly that Essenes were ascetics.
      We also know, from literary testimony, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the archaeological remains of Qumran, that the Essenes practiced many water baptisms for ritual purification-similar to a dip in the Ganges or the river Pampa or at Thiirunelli. At Qumran, however, all members of the community were baptized with water for ritual purification.
      Josephus writes, "And as for their piety towards God, it is very extraordinary; for before sunrising they speak not a word about profane matters, but put up certain prayers which they have received from their forefathers, as if they made a supplication for its rising" (Wars, 2.8.5). This testimony accords well with what we know from the Dead Sea Scrolls.
      Prayer and humility was one thing that the Essenes . When they cooked up stories about Jesus they wrote that Jesus Christ ate the Last Supper in the Essene part of town.
      Jesus is not historical character, The Dead Sea Scrolls have produced increasing evidence to cement the fact that Jesus Christ never existed and the whole story was cooked up at the First Council of Nicea in 325 AD.
      The FAKE gospels were written after 325 AD after Jesus was cooked up at the first Council of Nicea..
      Twelve apostles of Jesus never existed.
      Jesus Christ names 12 apostles to spread his gospel, and the early Christian church owes its rapid rise to their missionary zeal. Yet, for most of the Twelve, there's scant evidence of their existence outside of the New Testament.
      The concept of using statistics to prove that 'God authored the Bible' is bullshit.
      Why was the library of Alexandria burnt ?
      The gospel of Thomas was not written by Jesus' disciple Thomas.
      Englishman Godfrey Higgins studied Greek, Latin and law at Cambridge . His two-volume, 867-page book Anacalypsis: An Enquiry into the Origins of Languages, Nations, and Religions, was published posthumously in 1836.
      In his treatise, Higgins writes " the mythos of the Jews and the mythos of the Greeks are all at bottom the same lifted from the ancient mythos of Hindus ; and ... are contrivances under the appearance of histories to perpetuate doctrines," and that Christian editors “either from roguery or folly, corrupted them all.”
      1900, Scottish MP John Mackinnon Robertson wrote that Jesus never existed but was an FAKE invention by a first-century messianic cult. He wrote about the First Council of Nicea of 325 AD where powerful forces invented a new god to fit the needs of the society of the time .Robertson specifically mentions the Talmudic story of the Yeshu .
      Thomas says: "Simon Peter said to them, ‘Make Mary leave us, for females don’t deserve life.’ Jesus said, ‘Look, I will guide her to make her male, so that she too may become a living spirit resembling you males. For every female who makes herself male will enter the kingdom of heaven’" (Thomas 114).
      AIYOOOOO -even Christians don’t like this
      When the master of James baby Jesus Christ never existed -- how can his disciple St James exist ?
      Even since the dead sea scrolls have been discovered CHRISTIANS and JEWS are jumping up and down like demented orangutans claiming that Essenes belong to them.
      Dead Sea text or Qumran Scrolls have absolutely nothing ZILCH, to do with the Bible of the Torah - never mind the diabolical lies of the Christians and the Jews.
      For arguments sake -even if messiah Jesus Christ existed , the gospels were written a even a century after Jesus' estimated year of death, by individuals who never met Jesus, and then were edited or forged over the centuries by unknown scribes with their own agendas.

      Not possible. The premise of the Xian religion is false. The god of the bible never existed. Its a made up, fictional literary character - and if you need me to I can demonstrate this. Therefore, this is no sin, no need for savior (the Jesus person), no salvation, no judgment day. The Jesus person of the NT - as THAT story goes - never existed either. What you and all other believers have done is to take on this creature as if its real because you think it is going to give a very precious thing - eternal life.
      But, its a lie. Its a lie because the premise: God Exist is a lie. Because the need for a savior - the whole back story of its requirement and the invention of the Jesus person's existence - is a lie. So, what's left? Xianity is hoax. The biggest one played on human kind EVER. You don't being told this, you think I am liar. Fine. Just keep this shit in your church, in your home and out of the public domain. See? Easy, peasy!
      Now, I truly hope you abandon this delusional belief system and take the money you were giving to this lie and any energy you were expending on it and give it to human beings in need. Do some something for the common good of everyone instead of just yourself - because, lady all your doing 'I got mine, the rest you fuck off.' But, you don't have anything.

    Thank you so much for your video and honesty. I left Christianity witnessing how political it became in 2008 when my pastor encouraged the church not to vote for then presidential candidate Obama. The pastor openly made fun of his name in his sermon and I walked out. There was so much corruption including a cheating scandals amongst church leaders. Another reason I will never return to Christianity is due to my mom turning on me when I became a parent. I have never felt more uncomfortable witnessing hypocrisy from my mom. Acting Christian to her friends and our family but I'm a terrible parent. I'm thankful where I am in life. I no longer desire to please anyone as a Christian. Instead I serve my community humbly and maintain my spirituality as I see fit not as my mother, family or previous church does. I highly agree, you must do your research. I also find if a pastor or church attendee focus more on what they wear and how big the church is, I find people lose the meaning of what Christian means. It was a title to mean like Christ. If he existed, Christians should serve the community rather than create mega churches and design church cults with political agendas. I don't take the Bible seriously. I admire what you say that the Bible is bias. Especially since it was translated so many times. I low key wonder about other theories such as Lilith and Mary Magdalene along with cultural mythology. I wish more churches would take more responsibility to delivering more open conversations like yours. Thank you again! Your video has reinforced my belief that I am better off without Christianity.

      @Lidia Magdalina We as Atheist don't have to explain anything. Christians on the other hand have to present their god or call it a day.
      Science is true, the bible is not. Show me a scripture that helps Christians determine the rise and fall of the tides? How to predict when the tides will rise and fall and the real scientific reasons the tide rises and falls? The bible is your source for inner strength not for a way to live your life or understand how the REAL WORLD works! Keep it to yourselves don't burden me with your baggage.

    This video is great because it's unabashedly human. She doesn't claim to know everything or tell anyone what to do. She appeals to reason and reasonability, is skeptical of grandiose claims and guarded against allowing wishful thinking high jack her world view. There are a few weird tangents, but that only serves to make her come through as more believable and sincere.
    It's easier and more comfortable to slip into a romanticized view. We tend to do this with celebrities or historical figures who have passed long ago. Such figures tend to have their good qualities enhanced or greatly exaggerated while any warts or negative traits are filtered out. That fish we caught keeps getting bigger every time the story is told right? I think she is brave and spot on to point out that this is very likely what happened with Jesus's story as well.
    Unfortunately, most of the comments show that people are more comfortable sticking to their romanticized self serving views and shun anyone who threatens their comfy little dream world with critical thinking.

      ​@@a9c you can be a sceptic and believe in all sorts of nonesence at the same time.
      First of all because we are influenced by culture and the people we consider authorities. We cant explore everything i depth, and therefore accept some things as fact just because we at some point for some rreason accepted it as fact.
      Second of all, or maybe in extention of what i claim above, sceptics are not above being psycologically trapped in a way of thought. An example of this in christianity could be: you need to question the bible, but if you question it too fundamentally, or before having studied the thing deeply, it may be the devil whispering in your ear, and therefore it becomes sinful and dangerous for your soul to explore the question you have outside of the bible. You are in that way forced to study the bible harder, and it will take longer to break put of the christian worldwiew. If you at the same time dont have the intellectial capabilities to study it like this baddass lady, you are pretty much stuck - untill something else makes you dare to question the bible.
      - i hope that gave some insight .
      Lastly i want to add that you can be completely naive and accept the world as round at the same time. All we can know for sure is something about this persons culture and worldwiew, it does not say anything about their sceptical abilities.
      A great examle of this is the mainsteam acceptance of acupunkture as treatment for everything, as if there is real science behind it.

    Watched a Thief in the Night at 9 yrs old at church. I was terrified I was going to have my head cut off in a guillotine and then spend an eternity in hell, especially after the pastor saying "None of us can ever be certain of our salvation." Can't tell you how many alter trips and private prayers I prayed. Took 40 yrs and a 10 yr stint working full time in ministry before I could begin to deconstruct. I had many issues with the church, especially when it came to a woman's role, and that was largely what got me to leave the church. But leaving Christianity began by finally studying the concept of hell. Once that fell, the whole house of cards fell. SO thankful to finally be free of it.

      Most people have heard “Jesus/God loves you”. Does that mean they have a relationship with God and will go to heaven? Depends on the individual. A relationship is 2 sided, you receive love and you give love back. God showed His love by suffering, dying on the cross and rising from the dead for you, now you show Love back by repenting of your sins (lying, stealing, sexual sins, taking the Lord’s Name in vain etc) and believing in Jesus as your Lord and saviour so that Heaven is in your future not hell

    I applaud you for your years of continued study and wisdom gained; may it continue for all of your life. For my exposure to Christianity at a young age left me with many questions. I began to study for truth about Jesus and early beginnings of Christianity. The Good Book is so convoluted with untruths, and omissions to the point of my looking elsewhere for truth. I've read Elaine Pagels "Gnostic Gospel", Nag Hammati with all the Gospels that were omitted by Roman Catholics in the Constantine period and much of Sylvia Browne in search of truth. I go to church each week primarily for the music; I am a musician and am allowed to create for their worship time. I consider myself at present to be a Gnostic Christian and will continue to search for truth (gnosis). One good book that nailed much of this for my understanding of Jesus was a book by Sylvia Browne; "The Mystical Life of Jesus". I believe the writing of the words in this book speak more truth to me than the bible, the Qur'an, Gita, Torah, or the Tripitaka. May peace be yours.

I really don’t understand how it is that people love God, the one that forced us into existence without our consent yet tells us to do as he says or we will go to hell just because he wanted to have us to “have fellowship with us” and “for his pleasure”

      @@JenFishburne Beliving in Jesus is not a religion. It is establishing a personal relationship with God the creator. How do you know that there is no salvation? Have you been to heaven and hell? Jesus came from heaven and he came to tell us about the eternal life with Him. I am an Indonesian - a country with the largest Muslim population. Many radical Muslims here encounter Jesus directly not only through dream and they accept Jesus. If Jesus is not alive now, then those Muslim would never follow him unless they witness the goodness of Jesus visiting them directly.

      @@JenFishburne Your story is quite fascinating, Jen. There's no mention of the one and only church of the apostles, the Catholic Church in your journey. You haven't done anything the Church hasn't done in her approx 2000 years tradition of scriptural interpretation and practice. I'm curious, do you know people like Bishop Robert Barron, Fr. Mitch Pacwa, Dr. Scott Hahn, Dr. Brant Pitre and many other Catholic biblical scholars and theologians. Since you are adept at researching, you could actually look into how the Church addresses these issues you've raised. But at the end of the day you will still need to discuss whatever you find with one or more experts in the Church.
      You have to refute the Catholic Church's teachings to be sure that you've covered all bases and be intellectually justified in your position. It's only right that you do due diligence because the Church would argue that you are only refuting Protestantism and other perversions which the Church has condemned as heresies. The Church is the pillar and foundation of truth (1 Timothy 3:15) and is infallible in her teachings because the Holy Spirit came upon Jesus' disciples as a Church and not as individuals. The Church, not the individuals, is protected from erroneous doctrine.
      In fact, many, if not most of the heresies that have emerged over the centuries were invented by men of great intellect and with good intentions who were convinced that their understanding is the correct understanding. It would be interesting to know how much of the Early Church Fathers you have actually studied and understood.
      Here's a list of heresies compiled by the Church in her 2000 year old history, see if you can identify any heresy you've spouted en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_heresies_in_the_Catholic_Church

We have to completly submit our will to the Holy Spirit so He can do His job to lead us in the whole Truth and to sanctify us until we sin no more. Sanctification is a process and takes time, but we have to stay under obedience the whole time.

      What you just did there was project YOUR personal interpretation on the text instead of allowing the text to simply say what it said. The Bible was not a ‘thing’ when God said that to Abraham and you cannot conclude what God actually meant with that statement. It’s just your interpretation, and there can be MANY others. You COMPLETELY missed the point of this video and what Jen was trying to say, which is to allow the text to be what it is, don’t project anything, read it as it is and see what’s the context, look up different translations because there are many others that change the meaning of the text, and so on. Also, notice how in some translations, God is indecisive on what he should do... that challenges the idea of a never changing, all knowing God. When you actually pay attention to the text, you see many things.
