There have been plenty sufficient evidences and reasons to bring into doubt and question the reliability of certain teachings many of us are still following. This is for those sincerely wishing to live in accordance with the Most High.
By definition, thinking is a process that includes gathering and assessing information. By definition thinking is an eternal revision and updating process.
Lower-Self Manipulation Of Scriptures
In addition to the numerous confusions written plainly in bibles, the explanations for the confusions are even worse.
First of all the bibles will tell you they are the original source of information from some god or prophet. Each bible is the only place you can find proof of this claim.
Second of all, each bible is supposed to be the inspired, holy, infallible writing straight from god.
Third of all, when you come across a scripture that says something as plain as day, you are then told you must go to another book for explanation. These other books are concordances and places that explain the original Hebrew, Aramaic or Greek word.
Fourth of all, these other books are not inspired, holy, infallible books. Even so, these fallible books are used to explain infallible books. Go figure. This truth eluded me for many years due to not being in the habit of thinking the way thinking is supposed to be done.
Fifth of all, these bibles are so confusing, people have to go to various religious schools to learn how to explain these bibles to you because god evidently didn't know how when he wrote it.
Sixth of all, in the title to this post, even though I use the same words, just because I capitalize or not, some people who use the method of explaining used to explain away bible inconsistencies, could easily say I mean two different things or something different than what I'm plainly saying. Stop falling for this okie doke.
What I'm saying to you again is at least be consistent in your thinking process. If you are going to accept a bible as the infallible word, then accept the entire thing as it is for exactly what it says. If you are going to allow someone to manipulate the meanings by using other dictionaries, then look up all the words in your bibles. Why is it only sometimes appropriate and necessary?
You are not supposed to go your entire life having someone else chew up your food and feed it to you so all you have to do is swallow.
