Why The Bible Leaves More Questions Than Answers

I was born into the old time religion of the Bible belt and grew up believing in Jesus. Yet I found that it always bought me feelings of unworthiness and pain, even guilt. I greatly identify with the article written by one of your members whereas a minister of 26 years still has more questions than answers.

I discovered what I call the key to understanding the Bible, the parable and Jesus. I cannot go into all of my discovery here for lack of space but I will reveal how I discovered it. After much reading and contemplations I began to see a great difference between the Old Testament and the first 4 Books of the New Testament. I did not find anything controversial in the Old nor from the Book of Act to revelation.

What I did discover is that if you really want to confuse the issues and the people that read them give them 4 versions of one thing for their study guide. We do not find math, English or any other subject taught in 4 ways at one time and place.

Only in these 4 Books is found the birth, life and teachings of Jesus. The Old testament though hard to read of all the wars and destruction was certainly clear about who Jehovah claimed to be and what he wanted.

But in the New Testament the war and gore was gone as a new way began with Jesus of love, compassion and forgiveness. But in the Book of Acts after Jesus is gone the reader finds the disciples back doing the same as Jehovah and his prophets did. The might equals right consciousness that is still being played out today. Old is clearly marked in the Bible from New. yet we have missed the message of Jesus because in Matt., Mark, Luke and John the words of Jehovah are put into the mouth of Jesus.

So we have a loving Jesus spewing words of hate and judgment. For me, I chose one principal that I felt defined Jesus. It was love. I studied this word and gave it meaning and applied that to all Jesus was supposed to have said and done. Therein I found the mixing of the old and new just as Jesus warned the people about.

A greatest hoax could not be found anywhere than what people have been taught to believe about this man of love. The man of love became the man of war upon which horrible wars have been created that murdered innocent people just for believing differently than the current, acceptable religion.

Even the fact that Jesus refused to judge anyone for anything got turned around until they teach that he will come back to judge everyone. A complete reversal of truth.
