Traceyacey12,
I was intrigued by your questions: "What is your opinion of the Bible? Is it really the final authority on life? Can we trust it?"
In all my life, it had not hit me to consider the scripture of ANY religion from this angle, until just now: The more important question is
"WHAT IS YOUR OPINION OF YOURSELF?"
WHY? Because
ONLY YOU HAVE THE POWER to determine and decide the trustworthiness of the answers to those questions for yourself.
Then the strangest "revelation" occurred to me that...makes soooo much sense:
NOT A SINGLE WORD OF SCRIPTURE IN ALL THE RELIGIONS IN THE WORLD CAN EVEN DO THE MOST IMPORTANT FUNCTION IN YOUR LIFE:
....and that is: NO book, no matter
WHAT it is called, even has the power to
BE you much less MAKE your decisions
FOR YOU, any more than
any page in any book there has EVER BEEN, has the power to...
LIVE YOUR LIFE!
Can "Scripture"
OVERRULE your power to make
YOUR OWN decisions or
IS IT YOU who has the power to choose
HOW you will be guided?
Only the
I AM THAT YOU ARE, has the power to decide what
YOU will do
with YOUR OWN POWER TO CHOOSE....even to CHOOSE wrongly!
...or, for that matter, rightly!
Either way, YOU decide how you are guided.
Scripture does not have the authority to "write" you...
YOU write the "story of your life" by turning its "pages" with your
own experiences.
...not the other way around.
I was just about to write "hope this helps", knowing that its "helpfulness" is solely within your power, as it always has been.
Again, not the other way around.
That's the point, isn't it?
