times.
A small example of Bible being correct is the creation of the state of Isreal on the EXACT date of the prophecy in the Bible. Everything that was
predicted to happen regarding Messiah (in Isaiah for example) was fullfilled by Jesus Christ.
Also the false beliefs today are a result of people applying scripture to suit themselves. Take a look at most modern day churchs, specifically in
America and you will find that they teach another Gospel than the original. Actually there are some extreme contradictions that are even mentioned in
certain parts of the bible. For example the emphasis on being blessed with material wealth as a sign of God loving you, when Christ himself EXPLICITLY
said that if you follow him (genuinly) you must bare a cross and expect to be hated and rejected by the world. (Servant no greater than the master !)
Also says that believing in God is no means of material enrichment...says money root of all evil...now take another look at the comercialized churchs
of the West.
Finally to totally dismiss an entire religion as a conspiracy is pretty off base. Conspiracies do exsist but not for that length of time. There is a
God. Man didnt invent him, God invented us!
Man invented religion, and the religious version of God.
You think conspiracies don't exist for that length of time? What makes you say something like THAT? Maybe a little wishful thinking there....
Also, we ARE God, the creator+creation are one and the same. There is absolutely NO difference between us and God, there is no GOD as being a
self-aware being, as he is US and vice versa. He is everything, and everything is him. Monotheistic religions, speaking of one separate God (separate
from creation), are designed to manipulate and control, nothing else. I've learned this, but many have not. I am not going to try to convince you of
this, or "prove" it to you. If you are interested, go out and see for yourself. If you are not interested in finding out the truth, but choose to
just accept things because they sound good, that's your choice.
The truth is always out there for those who really seek it. You think conspiracies don't exist that long? Well, our entire existance is an illusion
based on mostly LIES to control and feed off of us, as we're SLAVES by choice. This is a rather "lengthy" state of affairs on our world, and
existed far longer than many may think. However, time doesn't exist, and logically absolutely CANNOT exist, but in a sense it does.
Think of it like a video tape... if you look at all the frames at the same time, then there is no time as you're aware of them all at once. If you
roll it and look at the frames one by one, it creates an illusion of a "passage of time", when it's just your own focus point that's moving
through reality, which is simultaneous and eternal at the same time.
This is easy to see if you give it some thought. Now, even if there is time, this also means that God STILL can't create us because he first had to
wait around FOREVER to do it... and no one can wait around forever, simpy because eternity is theoretical... if you reach eternity it means it's
FINITE and not infinite. That's the whole point. Religious fables of creation are allegorical, and mostly lies. 70% of the Bible is pure bull.
However, those truths that exist, are allegorical and very often do NOT mean what they say word for word. The world wasn't created in 7 Earth days,
or 168 Earth hours. How long did God spend waiting before he decided to create the world? Infinity? As you can see, that's a contradiction.
Lucky for us, such a contradiction as time doesn't really exist anyway, but is an illusion that only seems to exist on OUR level of awareness.
So once again, what makes you think that teaching the original scripture is any better than teaching the altered modern versions? Is there more truth
in the original? What would make you say that?
