I have studied and read many books on the topic... I am not trying to put anybody down I respect the rights of anyone to believe what they want to but when someone tries to defend something that I know to be untrue I have a problem being silent...I study the scripture very detailed and know there is a BIG difference from what God has written in his word and the religions that man has made up and twisted to there own advantage. What I state is the same thing Christ stated when he was on this earth and is brought forth in the new testament..Remeber Christ was very unhappy with the religious society at that time he taught in the temples and corrected them..They put him to death. I cant share all this knowledge on a forum but if you are interested in learning Gods word correctly with a bible scholar fluent in the original languages of Hebrew and Greek try here www.shepherdschapel.com.
Believe it or not God is not happy with Religion in the world today Christians especially he states that many will come in His name claiming to be working for him in his name but they are liars sheep in wolves clothing deceiving people teaching for money and there own glory.. I can understand why some people become atheist when they hear the crap that one verse preachers throw out there...In the book of Revelation God states he is happier with those who are not believers then those who are and perpetrate lies...To understand Gods word you have to believe in Him and make an effort to study. There are many things not taught today but the website I listed is a good place to start..LOVE & PEACE to you also
