TRUTH AND THE BIBLE.

The administrator of one of the YouTube channels asked me to answer five questions. I'll answer the last one right away. It just fits into the theme of Truth. I think it kind of cancels out the rest of the questions. I was asked: You have written several books and many of us have read them, and what would you like to correct or correct in them now, regarding your knowledge for this day?

I'll start a little bit from afar.

Personally, I had a lot of different adjustments in some understandings. But the result was still, to put it mildly, unsatisfactory. Resolved questions were immediately replaced by new ones. The "light" or" new light "in the sense of corrected knowledge began to" shine " more widely, sometimes to the point of exhaustion, but clarity never came.

The Lord promised, " Come to Me, all you who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest." I had no inner peace. The search for Truth loomed as an endless spiral race. Sometimes there was a very real fear that such a search, in general, could end in failure and spiritual catastrophe.

The "viewers" who watched my efforts, some with kindness and some with irony, said:: "...It's all the fault of your mind. Turn off the mind, live with the heart. Don't bother. Understand that there are questions that a person cannot understand. He must accept them on faith. If you are a believer, you should believe, not think. Don't be smart!.."

Such rhetoric made me sick. The idea of turning off the mind didn't suit me at all. I couldn't agree with the idea that God created the human mind so that it wouldn't function afterwards. God did not create man's organs for inaction. Although, of course, if, say, you cut off a patient's leg, even both, or remove something from the entrails, then the person can still live for some time. But, after all, it will already be a disabled person. It seemed to me that, with the mind turned off, a person who lives only with emotions is also a kind of person, and very imperfect.

From a young age, the thought was present in my mind: "To believe God means to live with the mind, to have a sound mind." I could not substantiate the thought in words, but it sat firmly in me.. Nowhere in the Scriptures have I seen the Lord expect people to believe blindly. God has always provided ample evidence for faith. So it was when the law of Moses appeared. The signs and wonders that God showed in Egypt and at Mount Sinai left no doubt as to the divine origin of the laws. And in the same way, even incomparably more powerfully, it happened during the earthly ministry of Christ. The works of Jesus were a solid foundation for faith in Him.

I believed that the Truth can not be incomprehensible, but the lie is always hidden behind a certain mystery, behind sophisticated terminology, "smart" words. Lying requires turning off the mind. It was with the filing of lies that the concept of "believing" was turned upside down in the people. Religion has come up with the interpretation that to believe means to accept the incomprehensible, something that cannot be proved or verified. Religion requires blind faith from its children. By the way, this is also assumed by materialistic science with its evolutionary hypothesis, which cannot be verified in any way.

I admit that there was a time when I tried to listen to the advice of my fellow "well-wishers". However, it soon happened to me, much as the prophet Jeremiah described, although on a different occasion: "But there was in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary to hold it, and I could not." (Jer. 20: 9). I didn't agree with what I didn't understand. For example, I did not understand the dogma of the Trinity. I made a desperate search, but I couldn't find anyone who could clearly explain the doctrine of the trinity. Or stories about the eternal torment of sinners. The question arose: How can this teaching be consistent with the mercy and love of God? In response, I only heard calls to put down my pride and start believing.

The situation was greatly aggravated by the fact that both the message of a merciful and loving God and the stories of eternal fiery torment, both of these seemingly diametrically opposite themes received Biblical justification or confirmation. Both are written in the Bible. There was some kind of mess or mixture of mutually contradictory teachings, and not only on these two dogmas but also on many others, which now there is no time to mention. I kept digging. And what did I find?

Various researchers are constantly searching for the Truth. And far from unsuccessful. Many of them found the right answers to their questions. Having realized the falsity of some religious dogmas and teachings, they were happy to publish the correct understanding they had discovered. They had a clear idea that they had finally discovered the Truth. Thank god!

But then something unexpected and unforeseen happened to them. Sooner or later, they either returned to the religion they had denounced, or they got worse. And some even suffered a real shipwreck of faith, becoming atheists.

As a typical example, it is enough to mention the Researchers of the Bible who appeared in the 19th century. They started out as sane seekers of religious truth. And they said many things correctly, according to the Holy Scriptures. But then? What happened to them? Why, from being intelligent researchers, did they still evolve into one of the most odious religious organizations infected with religious lies? This is a serious question.

It may also be recalled that the Protestants, having denounced the mother religion, after a very short time did not differ much from it, except in some details.

Already in my, as they say, "century" I had to see a lot of enthusiasts who declared: "We have found God's truth!" So what? Where are they now? In the same place as they were, only in a different hypostasis, and others, giving up on their research, turned to materialism altogether.

This was my first discovery. It showed that no matter how much someone criticizes religion, he still returns to it, or, at the very least, doesn't get better than this religion.

I was keenly interested in the question: What is the reason? Why can't anyone be completely free of religious lies? People seem to be on an invisible but powerful religious leash, from which they cannot escape. They try, they try, and they, even if they have run quite far away as if some tenacious force brings them back either to religious lies or to outright godlessness. They never find the truth. No matter how many people walk away from the untruth, over time they still come back to it, even from the other side. Why is this happening?

By the grace of God, I have found the answer to my question. I will not be falsely modest, and I will say directly: without the help of the Lord, such issues cannot be resolved. Actually, a real revelation happened for me.

After long attempts to understand the problem, and prayers, and requests to God to help me understand these very complex and critical questions for my whole life, when my mind rested on unsolvable contradictions, and my eyes tried to find answers in the Bible, suddenly, as if by itself, without context and preparation, the following thought persistently began to appear in my mind: What if I look more closely at the Bible, Perhaps the reason, or, so to speak, the "bacterium" of all religious delusions is in the Bible?

When I got this idea, I was shocked at first. With fear, I checked and rechecked my thoughts. How?! The Bible?! Say a word on the Bible?! Who the hell are you? Do you fear God? My prayers were constant.

Then, gradually, the topic became more and more clear. As a result, the book "THE BIBLE IN ITS PUREST FORM WITHOUT RELIGIOUS AND SCIENTIFIC LIES" was born. Now the book is available in both text and audio format. Anyone interested can view it on my blog, or on the website.

Since there is not enough space and time here, and the issue is extremely important, requiring much more extensive conversation, at the moment I can only try to explain in a few words how the main source of religious lies is the current book available to the peoples called the Bible. I want to emphasize that this is a question that every person should solve for himself, without any" help " from human sages, but only with prayer and reasoning.

So, I ask believers not to get excited, but to listen to me generously, and I advise non-believers to think about it, because their evolutionary hypothesis is even more at odds with sanity than the most obscure fairy tales of religious teachers about the afterlife. However, as for atheists, as well as their attacks on the Bible, it should be emphasized that the Bible itself is created and constructed in such a way that it constantly gives rise to doubts about its Divine origin, and in the love and wisdom of a merciful God. And this was another discovery for me. But for now, I will continue to talk about believers.

How many of them were sincere and talented researchers who found and exposed religious lies, and then returned back to the lie, did so because, like the religion that they successfully denounced, they also based their views, beliefs, and understandings on the texts of the Bible. The texts of the book of the Bible serve, served as the tether that did not let go, does not let go of everyone who tried and tries to break away from religious lies.

"The Bible is the word of God." Who doesn't know these words? Who doesn't believe them? However, this is not true. The Bible was not created by God. The current book, the Bible, is a product of religion. God did not dictate any list of books to be included in the Bible. God did not provide for a canon. The canon is the product of a false, depraved, and bloody religion.

In the Bible, of course, there are, there are the words of God. This is an indisputable fact. But it is also an obvious fact that the Bible contains human words, not God's. There are also many later passages in the Bible.

I understand that, for religious people, the statement about a critical view of the book of the Bible is terrible sedition, bordering almost on blasphemy. They firmly believe that the book of the Bible is kept by God Himself and that no one can make any changes to the Bible. Such people, at least, are simply not literate, and maybe ignorant. In many cases, an idol or fetish is actually embedded in the Bible by believers.

As a recent example of how the Bible is being corrected by people, we can recall that just a year ago, the Pope directly changed the text of the prayer "Our Father" by his decree. How do others now say that the Scriptures cannot be changed? And what did religious leaders do when the sacred texts were only at their disposal? How did they build the canon?

The Lord said, " Beware of false prophets." I invite you to reflect on these words of the Lord with a cold mind. Please think for yourself: If the Lord said "beware of false prophets", then He was saying that the Holy Scriptures will not be a reliable defense against false prophets? Isn't it? In a deep sense, these words of the Lord warned that false teachings will be presented under the guise of the Scriptures. For if the scriptures were unchangeable, then false prophets would pose no danger. Bible readers would easily identify false teachings with the help of texts. But this doesn't happen. On the contrary, many people find confirmation of their lies in the Bible!

The Bible was redrawn by many. Plus, there are a lot of mistakes made by translators and copyists. These facts are now widely available. Unfortunately, for some, even such correct information served as an impetus to evade the truth again. They turned their attention to the search for "correct" translations, to the study of various translator's notes and footnotes, claiming that if you know the correct translation, or can read, say, in some ancient language, you can learn the truth. By doing so, they only showed that they are still dependent on literal texts, that is, just as they were sitting, they are still sitting on a leash to the letter of the Bible.

There is no doubt that working with different translations helps you understand some issues. But we will know the truth, the fundamental truth of God, only when we understand the SPIRIT of Holy Scripture, or rather, the SPIRIT of Christ's Teaching. "God is spirit, and those who worship him worship in spirit and truth," Jesus said.

For those who argue that the Bible is completely under the protection of God, down to the last comma, I suggest that you think about the Bible of the so-called "New World Translation". This "translation" has so perverted the very meaning of the Scriptures that the New World Translation is no longer the Holy Scriptures as it appears on its cover. In fact, the PNM is a kind of "Vedas" from the Governing Council. In this case, the authors of the translation surpassed all religions. If individual religions were marked by some inserts in the Bible, then the Governing Council changed the very meaning of Holy Scripture.

(I recommend reading the article on this topic: "TRANSLATING THE NEW WORLD IS NO LONGER THE BIBLE." Article on the website "Wake up your brother").

RE-STUDY OF THE BIBLE.

People have become attached to the lie by being attached to the text of the Bible because the text has been inserted in a false way. Therefore, attachment to a text also means attachment to a lie. Religion does its best to stick the adept firmly to the literal text of the book.

The Apostle Paul wrote:: "All Scripture is inspired by God..." The religious false teachers also squeezed their own dogmas into these words of Paul. Taught by religion to believe that "all Scripture is inspired by God," people also swallow the false teachings that were added by religion to this very "whole Scripture" after the death of the Apostles.

Religious so-called "knowledge of the truth" begins with the so-called "study of the Bible." Not surprisingly, then, this "study" continues throughout life, and, as it were, on the basis of Scripture. For example, a person is quoted from Joshua: "This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall study in it day and night..." (Isaiah Nav 1:8). These words are read to a person as God's instruction for the disciples of Christ, which is a direct lie. The words of Joshua referred to Israel before the coming of the Messiah. Christ's disciples do not need to "learn from the book day and night," because Christ's disciples have the Spirit of God. The New Testament is not a covenant of the letter, but of the Spirit.

To free yourself from the power of religion, you need to do the opposite – free yourself from attachment to the letter of the text and switch to the spirit of Scripture. That is, figuratively speaking, it is necessary to conduct a RE-study of the Bible, like resuscitation.

It should be understood that the Bible is not the Word of God in the sense that religions understand it. Only after RE-studying the Bible will there be the freedom that Jesus spoke of: "You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."

And finally.

The Apostle John writes: "I have written to you about those who deceive you. But the anointing that you have received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you, but this anointing itself teaches you all things, and it is true and not false; what it has taught you, abide in him." (1John. 2:26,27).

People deceived by religion in this text point to the" anointing "that believers in Christ have, saying that today, among the believers there are" anointed ones " who have the power or are appointed to teach the rest of the believers. When you hear such interpretations, you simply marvel at how short-sighted religious people are. They don't see or read what the Apostle actually wrote. But the Apostle says, " THE ANOINTING TEACHES YOU." You do not teach with the anointing, but YOU are taught by this anointing, you are taught by God's Spirit, God's help.

This is my short answer to the last, fifth question. To the distinguished author of the questions sent to me, I would like to say that, in view of the above, at the moment I do not see the point in discussing other issues. In my opinion, they stem from the wrong religious message about the Biblical texts. I advise you, first of all, to solve questions about the Bible. Then the rest will quickly fall into place. Without a change in spiritual views on the Bible, it is impossible to achieve a complete solution of religious questions and knowledge of the Truth, because no matter how hard you try, and no matter how hard you look for answers, but chained to the letter of the text, without the Spirit of God, without the "anointing", you will still go around in circles.

Amen.
