You’re right about one thing: the Word of God is Truth. Truth can be found in the Bible or Christ as well as in many other sources, not every source though. But your approach to it is so rigid that it’s become a prison, not a path to understanding. You will never be able to see the whole Truth, but limiting your understanding to a single book is pure Sloth. You claim to reject “false teachings,” but you’re constantly grasping at different, contradictory ideas and trying to make them fit your narrow worldview. You’re not finding truth; you’re finding comfort in certainty. Reminds me of the Zen story of the monk drawing circles in the sand, then erasing them.
If you truly believe that everything outside your limited interpretation is “false,” then you’ve just made God’s creation smaller than your mind can grasp. We both know that’s not how the divine works. The world is a complex tapestry that requires both faith and reason to navigate. But your worldview is brittle because it's purely based on strict dogmatic teachings, not conclusions you arrived at by yourself. You're a receptor. By studying the Bible you're learning only small percentage of the Truth. That 0,00...1% is enough for you, ngmi. We'll never know the totality of God in this life, and until the last point is learnt, we'll never know if we're wrong or right for sure. Maybe that last piece of knowledge causes a paradigm shift. That's what faith truly means, the "opposite" of certainty, but the more you know, the closer you are to not being wrong/evil in the end, the closer your faith can be to the certainty of God/goodness. "Truth shall set you free."
You want easy answers. I’m here for real truth, even when it’s uncomfortable. So, if you’re done with real discussion, then I’ll leave you to your convictions. No need to keep repeating the same circular arguments. I’ve said my piece, and I’m done here.
