The truth is that, your book amounts to nothing but a collection of human opinions. Some of them align with God's will and contribute, are conducive for, life. Others are not conducive at all for life, whether life in this world or in the great beyond. You need to be a wife money changer, in order to distinguish between the authentic and counterfeit currency. The only way to have an eye for truth and falsehood, to decipher the truth, from the chaos, is to be a genuine disciple of God's Son, our King and Lord. You must have the spirit of YHWH, dwelling and operating within you. The reality, what is real, must make its home within your being, your inner-man, inner-woman.
Christianity isn't a book religion, like Judaism and Islam. It's a faith that, relies only on having a relationship with THE REALITY. The one who IS. YHWH - Yahweh. The One True Living God. The Infinite Eternal Reality. That which establishes order in chaos, finds the light in the darkness. The embodies of this divine order and ideal, the archetype and blueprint of our human nature, is CHRIST. Jesus Christ. He is true, he exists, he is alive and he dwells within those who hate their chaos, their evil, repenting of it and entrusting themselves to Him. Entrusting their lives to The Way, The Truth and The Life. Jesus is THE WORD, not a book comprised of paper and ink.
A person, not a book full of man written impressions and opinions. Some of those impressions, opinions are good, inspired by divinity, some of them are not. The book is profitable, to those who are born from above, disciples of Jesus Christ. Those who are not disciples, destroy themselves, by relying on paper and ink. If God's perfect will and word, is filtered through an imperfect, broken, flawed source, then you must test it, in the spirit. There is no such thing, as an "inerrant book", written and copied by flawed men. Doesn't exist. Even if you had a supposed "inerrant book", your interpretation wouldn't be "inerrant", perfect, flawless, because you and I, are imperfect, flawed, broken. We are not infallible.
You either have it and know you have, or you don't. You either have God and His Son, or you don't. You know it and those who are truly born from above, "born again", do not rely on books, to empower their faith and relationship with God, in His Son Jesus Christ. We already know, we know that we know, that Jesus is real. Signs and wonders aside, creative miracles, the casting out of demons, seeing angry demons, sent by the devil, because you're actually dangerous to his evil work, as a genuine disciple and member of Christ's royal family..All of this, is but a outward manifestation of a genuine relationship, a real knowing, of The Way, The Truth And The Life. The Living Eternal Word.
You either have it, or you don't. If you have it, your faith, relationship with God, doesn't hinge upon paper and ink, man written scripture, it relies on THE REALITY itself. You experience, interaction, with REALITY, With God, within your inner-man. You will know the truth and this truth, will set you free. Free, from fear, cowardice, stupidity, evil, bad destructive thoughts and behavior. Stinking thinking, stinking behavior. You will know what holiness is, and what your God expects from you. You are a member of the bride of Christ, of His royal family. You will reign with Him, from above, in the human mansion of divine glory and spirit. That realm above, prepared for those who die with Christ in the place of the skull, Golgotha.
You must die, in the place of the skull, on the cross, with Christ. Die to this corrupt, broken, world and life, in order to rise with him, a new creation. This is holiness, being set apart, right. Righteousness is, being set apart right, for what is TRUE and REAL. Actualizing your fullest potential as a human being, that which God originally envisioned for you. Becoming one with God and His Eternal, Living Word. Joining His divine family, through adoption. You will be, in Christ, deified, by the one true, living God.
As a piece of iron, in the fire, absorbs the nature of fire, so you will be, in the presence of GOD, your heavenly father. That eternal infinite source, that is a consuming fire. Forever ascending and pursuing His Face and His Glory,is your destiny. First you must die, lay down your life, at the cross, in the place of the skull. It's not enough to stand before the cross, you must be crucified with him. Die. Then you will truly live. Count your life here as nothing. Nothing but Christ. Pledge your allegiance to Christ, by dying with Him on the cross, then you will rise with Him, a new creation. You will receive the deposit, of His presence, and you will know that HE IS.
It doesn't rely on books, paper and ink. All of your citing and quoting passages from this book, you call "The Bible", only serves to distract you from God's actual, living, dynamic presence. You must rely on the spirit of God, the Holy Spirit, not a book / "sack full of answers". There's no faith there. The point of certainty, is you. You will meet God, at the place of the skull, golgotha. Inside of you. That is the only point of certainty, in this mortal, temporal, physical world. YOU, are the only point of absolute certainty, for YOU. And that is where YOU are going to have an encounter with GOD. You and GOD, at the place of absolute certainty. The absolute truth, subjectively, within your human experience, consciousness, interacting with you. Dwelling with you.
You are the temple of God, the holy of hollies is within YOU. The absolute point of certainty, within your human experience, is not me, it's not him or her, it's not a book, it's you with God. If you have it, you have it and you can identify those who have it and don't have it. There's a resonance, between the children of God. They can identify who is who. They can see, what is authentic and counterfeit currency. They identify the genuine currency and divide from the counterfeit.
A sack full of questions, that's all this world will hand you. A stinking sack, full of questions. You can hang that over your shoulder. That's everything. Every-Thing. All things, outside of you, are subject to, scrutiny, questioning, doubt, corruption...The truth and perfection, all of the answers, are with you and your God. Your God within you. That's the hope of glory, of salvation. There is no such thing as an inerrant something, outside of your experience with God.
Sack full of questions, that's all you'll ever have in this world. Get use to it and get brave. Find some courage, because you need. Heaven is for the brave. There aren't any wimps up there.
