That sucks...sorry you got that kind of response, man. And yes, the truth of Christ IS found in the Bible...and whoever gave you the impression that it wasn't was dead wrong.

Okay, found your post...now, to address what you were saying.

I have recently read the bible only to find out that the whole christian world is insane and following evil. The bible says that unless you are doing what jesus did you don't belong to him. So if you don't belong to him who do you belong to?

I'm not sure exactly what you meant by "the whole Christian world." You see, that sounds like a bit of a generalization to me, and generalizations tend to give people rather warped conceptions of what's true. Certainly, every one of us has our faults, and yes, there are many who claim to be Christians yet do not bear any fruit. Yet, to those whose desire it is to follow Christ--to those who truly love Him--there is a grace which covers our many sins. As it is written,

"At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone." - Titus 3:3-8

and again,

"

Well Charlie, my IQ has been measured variously between 165 and 127! How's that for consistency?

I've read the Bible at least once annually for 34 years, and if you've got 95% comprehension of it in one reading, then I'm the Caliph of Baghdad. If you seriously believe you've got a 95% comprehension of it in that one reading, I've got some prime beach front land outside of Denver here I'd love to sell you!

It is however, the preeminent book in which the truth about Jesus is found. Got any questions? I'm an accredited theologian, a college teacher, a Priest and a Pastor; ask away!

Amen to the sister!

How do you know anyone, Charlie?

Spend time with them. Jesus is as real today as ever.

I recently read the bible in 6 hours

:noidea: How many pages a minute can you read? Wow!

with 95% or better comprehension.

OK, we need to have an understanding of "comprehension" here. I mean, to fully comprehend the Bible, you need to know and understand the culture and world views of the peoples involved. A knowledge of arheology and geography of the times helps, too. And then there are the Hebrew idioms. And do you understand the governance over Israel in the days of the New Testament? Etc., etc., etc.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
