[Faith-talk] a distressing book

[justin williams]

Timothy, that would be your truth, and for you, that works.  It may not work
for everyone. Or, the person may interpret the bible differently than you.
There are several thousand sexts of Christianity alone, and most of them
think the rest are doing it incorrectly.

Brandon, i agree with you but what would you have truth take the form of?
would you agree with gnostics who believe truth is whatever we make it, in
other words you find your own "personal truth." 
 these claims are ridiculously absurd and further more totally out of
proportion to the truth. the truth isn't what you make it. the truth is the
thing that's staring you all in the face. read the bible. god's word. .

just read a few books and think that is the end-all be-all. You have to
figure it out for yourself. I started the journey when I was 10 years old,
and I don't think it really ever ends.

First there was Gnosticism that challenged me the most. I studdied it, and
even downloaded a few of the gospels, like of Thomas. Now don't get me
wrong. I don't just flit from view to view on religion so easily. I soon
emerged from that with the firm conviction that it was just not true, for
Jesus wouldn't want just a little few to become children of God, and while
the world is fallen, our main wish shouldn't be to get out of it and not
live on our way through it. But there's a book called Satan's counterfeit
Christianity that I found on iBooks. I started reading it thinking it'd give
more about other ideas I should keep away from, but it basically reads that
all knowledge me have of Christianity is wrong. It says that Catholicism is
rooted in other religions, based on Babel or however you spell it, and that
Protestantism is just an extention of Catholicism, just split and without
the rituals and such. So, now what? But the book's only advice about
learning the "true faith" is to read the Bible deeply. Well, I've been doing
that for as long as I had a Bible to read, and the only thing I disagree
with of most Christians is that the sons of God in Gen 6 were fallen angels,
not sons of Seth. So, is this something I should keep investigating, or
should I just dismiss it before I cause myself more confusion and ache as
happened with Gnosticism?
