>>5026484 Re: "…the Bible is 'nothing more'…" The only reason someone would say something like that, is because they don't know what they're talking about! Check our Dr. Ivan Panin's research! It cannot be refuted! Human intellect could not have written The Bible!
God, via The Holy Spirit, only inhabits believers! Those without The Holy Spirit are, quite literally, "the walking dead"! It is a misnomer to confuse "dead" with "non-existence! ALL will "exist" forever…just a matter of where! Adam and Eve "were" alive, but instantly died the most critical death when they chose to know "good and evil"…and then began the process of physical death!
By no means, am I wedded to "the church as a business model!" THAT, has turned Christianity into a religion…which is powerless! I think a great movement is beginning where people bail of the "religion" of Christianity to seek a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ! I speak The Truth when I encourage you to follow Jesus and take in His Word only!
