[Faith-talk] a distressing book

[Maureen Pranghofer]

Hi
I think we can't solve or know everything and I would keep asking God what 
to read in the Bible, keep reading, and especially the Torah because it says 
in Nehemaiah chapter 10 30-31 that the law which is the Torah is the source 
of knowledge, understanding and wisdom.I'm glad you are searching and 
reading.

Hi all. For years I've saught the truth. For years I've looked and looked to 
find God, and just when I think I've found him, I'm not sure. 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?
