A magnificent source of life insurance and it's FREE. You can't fault that! You won't find me preaching to anyone about religion. That would be way above my simple comprehension. Can you find any written document Nick Martin Hat , article, or book that you can read that gives you peace of mind, even years later? No, not even Harry Potter's adventures will do it.
So, what does 900 pages of advice cost you? Yes Julien Davenport Hat , a little time each day spent (maybe I should say "sacrificed") informing your mind and soul of a believable and powerful set of rules to live by each day. It's not the solution to life's hardships and unhappiness. Nothing is capable of doing that.
The vision provided by the masterful choice of words in the Bible leads you to understanding that your living energy (asleep or awake your body continues right on going) runs on a spiritual battery that needs recharged over and over. Where do you think that aging battery of energy evolved from? How do you recharge it?
Reasons you don't read the Bible are infinite. Most seem to be afraid to read it because they might find something that rumor has construed as a set of guidelines that no one could live up to anyway ? might even brainwash you! If you read the rules, you might be somehow forced to change your life immediately in unbelievable ways to comply. Not so. Does this strike a bell?
Oh, I see! Your reasons are different. OK, where do we go from here? Maybe these facts can ease your mind:
? The Bible is a complete story of the creation and strife of man, an experiment by God that went wrong. He gave us a choice and we blew it!
? The Bible explains how many thousands of times that God tried to encourage (not force) man to live by his commandments Zach Cunningham Hat , and how he did it. He certainly tried!
? The Bible tells how God just gave up trying, on a few occasions, to convince man that if you live by his rules, there will be life eternal in the glory of heaven with him and his son Jesus. And if you don't make the effort, so long old buddy!
? The Bible elaborates on God's final persuasion method to make man see the truth and hear it face to face from Jesus Deshaun Watson Hat , his son. Can you imagine what it's like to sacrifice a son?
? The Bible demonstrates, by recounting stories about real men, what living by the commandments really involves. If you pay attention to the words, it isn't so hard to understand or do.
? The Bible clearly outlines what sin is, where it comes from Whitney Mercilus Hat , and how to avoid it. Everyone sins but God has provided the way out for anyone that believes and complies with the very best of his being.
? The Bible reinforces what we already know about living a good life, but does it in a way to demonstrate the benefits of what God considers good living. Want to know them?
? The Bible tells us exactly where the world and civilization is going ? that is if you care or want to know. Revelation, the last book of the Bible, will clearly tell you. Read it even if you don't believe. John, who wrote it Johnathan Joseph Hat , was not on hallucinogens!
