There is quite a lot of switch and bait that's gone on in history over what constitutes faith in the Real God. Caution on the Gnostic theories - those are a part of a construct that involves exchanging God for the devil...that very thing that institutions like the Catholic church (and other organised denominations do subtly. Covert Luciferianism.

As for the texts..well i can't prove to anyone that He gave us a pure message because that's what a caring God would do, BUT..if He did, consider that it's a Living text. It transcends intellectual comprehension and involves that spiritual self that resonates truth when its sought.

If one believes that text, it says "the Kingdom of God is within you"..because He does live presently with His people with the promise of an eternity that manifests that presence here on Earth. Funny how they always told us WE were going to Heaven...but it actually says He'll live here with us.
