Has literal reading of scriptures been profitable for us in seeking or finding God? | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 42095573 United States 09/03/2014 04:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | How many people do you think actually bother even reading the scriptures for themselves, even once a week? People are otherwise distracted and it is a rare thing to encounter someone who is actually seeking God at all. Now what they do get is a constant bombardment of lies, sex, greed, gluttony, and every possible permutation of the seven deadly sins, so much so that if a person were to express some virtue in public it makes its way to the top of the news. All of the filth and lies, the public gladly consumes, considers it to be trustworthy enough to pattern their own behavior after, and then think others to be weird for even reading the scriptures at all, whether they read them literally or otherwise. |

He taught us about spirits. He taught us not to worship idols. He taught us not to,listen to hypocrites. He taught us not to sin and fall into lustfulness. He prophecies the future in the most perfect words. That included WW1 & WW2 and the next WW3 and even so to the end. His words shall liveth forever, beyond mankind. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 42095573 I hear you but yet in many surveys, many may not say they are religious in terms of following their religions well, but most people claim to be spiritual and that to me is someone that would be seeking God? If not, what is spirituality in terms of God? Regards DL |

You forget that when Jesus says to seek God, it also means that if you are looking at him, you are not looking at the right place. But Jesus does tell you what to do idol worshiper.
