“If you go into reading the Bible without the realization that it has been edited and changed by men in power to use it to control the masses and to justify their own sins” That’s a bold claim. I’m going to need to see CREDIBLE sources.

The.. crusades?… king James?… literal history? Every single religious based war where they disregard thou shalt not kill and murder people? Like.. if history and how it repeats itself isn’t a credible source I’m not sure what to tell you. You can look up the translations of the Bible and literally see where words have been changed to suit peoples ideologies. I don’t know what to tell you..

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”-Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭2‬ ‭

If you feel like you aren’t hearing from God, it’s time to open your Bible. God is constantly speaking and He doesn’t want any of us to miss what He’s saying. Take the time to feed your spirit by making it a habit to read the Word of God daily. God will give you the understanding that you need. Remember, He is for you, not against you.

What did the Bible originally say?

"It is one thing to say that the originals were inspired, but the reality is that we don't have the originals - so saying they were inspired doesn't help me much, unless I can reconstruct the originals."

"Not only do we not have the originals, we don't have the first copies of the originals. We don't even have copies of the copies of the originals, or copies of the copies of the copies of the originals. What we have are copies made later - much later. In most instances, they are copies made many centuries later. And these copies all differ from one another, in many thousands of places."

-- Bart D. Ehrman, Misquoting Jesus

God’s Law is more real and lasting than the stars in the sky and the ground at your feet. Long after stars burn out and earth wears out, God’s Law will be alive and working.

Matthew 5:18 MSG

Christian Bible AU: Virgin Mary has twins - one the son of God and one the daughter of Satan. The siblings love each other dearly and get along swimmingly despite their fathers being at odds. Don't know what this means for the plot but I just think Jesus deserves a twin sister.

Where did you get the idea to work in mysterious ways? Is it working out for you? I kinda dig it and am considering doing the same. Is that blasphemous?

I mostly went for it once I realized that people were gonna people, leading to a whole bunch of different religions all asking me for contradictory stuff at the same time. I decided the best way to deal with it, without, like, snuffing out free will, was to go low-key.

If it sounds like it's for you, then yeah give it a try.

Also yes it's a little blasphemous, but a little blasphemy is okay actually, as a treat.

I got myself a new Bible yesterday and I'm really excited to start using it! It's a standard Bible that I got at Walmart, and to others it's probably nothing special--navy blue imitation leather, King James Version, red letters for the words Jesus spoke and full color maps in the back. It cost around $14 after tax. The print is a comfortable size, and there's a blue ribbon page marker. It's just a nice, standard Bible, not even mildly fancy like my family Bible that's white imitation leather with illustrations throughout and gold trimmed pages that was passed down from my great grandmother, to my mother, and then to me a few years ago.

So why am I so excited about this Bible?

Because it's the first Bible I've gotten since coming out as a trans man.

It feels like a fresh start with my journey of faith. I've honestly strayed away from my other Bibles (a Hands On one that I got when I entered Sunday School; a children's Bible with nice illustrations but small print that was a gift for mt fifth birthday from our then-Pastor's wife; a small pink New Testament Bible that was a gift to my late father from myself when I was in elementary school). They all have my deadname written inside, and it felt too much like those copies weren't really for me. It was more like they were for the little girl and young woman people thought they were gifting them to.

But this new copy of God's word is a new start. It doesn't erase my past with the Church or my previous struggles with faith due to being trans and gay. It doesn't take away the sleepless nights of wondering who I am and why God made me this way, or the angry, tear-filled prayers to a God that, at the time, I wasn't even sure was listening. But it is a starting point for myself to really move forward from that, to let myself let go of some of the baggage I've been carrying in my faith life and start a new journey, this one filled with self love and joy instead of despair and grief for a girl who never even really existed in the first place. Every time I see my correct name in the front, it's a little reminder to myself that I'm the only one who can define who I am and my relationship with the Lord. My faith is my own, and no one else gets to dictate it.

I've been highlighting some favorite verses of mine throughout the day with colored pencils and exploring some of the maps, and I've started reading Genesis, too! I promised myself I would read the Bible this year, and I'm grateful that I can do it with a brand new one that I can use moving forward! 💙
