I hear Crow is in season.
God has provided us with only one book. The Bible.
It's plain that we are not all 'children/sons' of GOD by birth, for we become 'sons of GOD' when we receive Him and trust in Him.
We are all the creation of GOD and fellow creatures but we are not all the sons of GOD and brethren unless we come to GOD on His terms.
True Christianity is exclusive.
Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Well, I can see by your writings that you're not a member of the
Body of Christ. Therefore, you're not a "True Believer" at this time.
Why do you use the word Verbatim so much?
Here's some verses to think about:
Ephesians 2:8-9 "For by grace are ye
saved through faith; and that not of
yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast."
Romans 10:9 "That if thou shalt confess with
thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in
thine heart that God hath raised him from the
dead, thou shalt be saved."
It's necessary for one to, hear the Grace message,
place all their faith in Christ as their Savior, be
sealed, indwelt, and baptized (not by water) into
the Body of Christ by the Holy Spirit. Once one
has placed their faith in Christ, they receive the
righteousness of Christ, forgiveness of all sin and
the guarantee of eternal life.
1 Corinthians 12:13 "For by one Spirit are we all
baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or
Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have
been all made to drink into one Spirit."
Ephesians 2:8-9 "For by grace are ye
saved through faith; and that not of
yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast."
Romans 10:9 "That if thou shalt confess with
thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in
thine heart that God hath raised him from the
dead, thou shalt be saved."

And you really think you are capable of sorting through those "aids" in order to read the "blueprint" the Lord left us to build the house? The fact that you have no one set of blueprints is why you're destined to fail. In fact, so that we each don't have to do what you are attempting to do is why the Lord made sure we have the Bible. The Bible IS the blueprint. He has kept it intact....all of it given by inspiration from God Himself. Anything you add to or subtract from it will only be a product of your own vain imagining.
Christ was sent to die for the sins of all mankind. However,
only those who place their faith in Christ as their Savior will
benefit from His death and resurrection.

That is not for you to say. And also unfair of you to do so. Just because I have a different ideology, does not mean I do not believe. Christ is the only way we can ever achieve the perfection that we strive to. I also believe all religions have their own interpretations of what the Lord is and have come about their own means of doing so. Buddhism, Hinduism, Shinto, Any branch of Christianity, Mormons, Freemasons, Islam, and Judaism. Christianity, Judaism, and Islam found the Lord starting from Abraham. Buddhists found the Lord through Buddha. Etc. None of them are wrong.
Good post
How about Satanism?

The Lord has given us many books. The Lord works in mysterious ways and can come to others in any form He chooses to do so in. It explains why we have so many religions.

That's Humanism, and it most certainly is wrong. There is only one God and man is not the ONE. Strive all you want, you will never come close to the glory of God.

I did not consider it as it is technically a cultist form of the Abrahamic faiths.
You're lost in your sins my friend. If you would die right
now, you'll be headed for God's judgement and the Lake
of Fire for eternity.

of Fire for eternity.
Explain further?
Man has given us many books. The Lord gave us one.
When one compares the books of man with the book which the Lord gave, one will find that they oppose one another.
Truth is not contradictory.

I am aware, thats why I called my idea Strivonism. We strive to be the perfection Jesus embodied and the Lord wants. We know it is futile, yet we still try as we love and respect God. But Even though we strive to it, we accept that only though Jesus we will reach that perfection. Again this is very hard for me to adequately put to paper

Really? So you know what God plans for me? You know where I am going? Since you know what God thinks, tell me can you cure cancer on a whim?
