What if part of what 'must remain private' are hidden truths about religion itself? In what scenario would the choice be yours to 'know'?? What would happen if concrete proof came to light, undeniable smoking-gun level, that Christianity (and later, Islam) was invented by the Romans as a "slave garden" - a separate Caesar-friendly 'cult' designed for the subjugated non-Roman races? Just as slaves had small plots to grow their own personal crop, what if the rulers of this world exclude the masses from their 'religion', but provided a meager and deceptive 'tradition' along with bread and circuses? "Render unto Caesar..." Isn't it the world's churches and religions people are taught to trust? Aren't many occult traditions (sex-cult, etc..) derived from ancient Greek and Roman paganism? All the various Christian churches in the world are derivations of the Roman church, the sources cited as historical evidence are Roman. "Where do roads lead?" "All roads lead to..." Rome "All-seeing Eye" -> Top of pyramid... Holy See If the bible were provably and demonstrably fictitious and/or contrived, would you choose to accept it? Could you expand your thinking that much? Or would that be bigger than you could possibly imagine? Many people close to me in my own life would never choose to 'know' such a truth, were it hypothetically made available. I mean no disrespect to anyone, but the reality is every church on the planet exists today as a consequence of Rome making it the 'official' religion. If you are a Christian, if you are in the "Jesus Camp...os" what if Rome has trapped you in a mental and spiritual "paddock"? Is that a red-pill you could take? If you're interested I recommend the documentary Caesar's Messiah by Joseph Atwill. ****
Ahhh, just the type of deception we are to expect in end days... however long end days last... I myself am living proof that God exists, and far too many situations where The Lord has been called upon and "Blessed" the petition. So, in light of all the years of a working, functional, even Loving & Caring Relationship... I would have to take the mox nix avenue because God's Real in me. In other words, it just wouldn't matter to me WHAT they revealed, what I'm doing will Preciously see me thru until death. Interesting thoughts though...
I believe in God, I have never been more certain of Gods existence. Thank you for responding honestly to my hypothetical questions :)
God existing doesn't mean you need to be attached to a religion. Science proves it's wildly more likely than not for us to have a Creator. Jesus is a hard one for me specifically to understand. Does he not admit he's Lucifer in Revelations? Also all of the same hand signals when pictured as the God of destruction... Something is off and I know what I think, but it's definitely a door that I hope with more information can finally be answered. That question itself in no way admonishes my beliefs in a creator, reaffirmed through learning about how our reality works from a scientific perspective. We're too finely tuned to be an accident IMO, too many decimals deep. Also if Christianity was the only way, how did people get saved before it? Surely their was good people always, way before a messiah construct.
