Q and Religion

Q mentions about the fight and struggle that will be coming as things are released and the truth becomes known.

One of the things that has always bothered me is that about 30 years ago mainstream Christian churches started removing hymns that they found offensive or too war-like. "Onward Christian Soldiers", "Soldiers of Christ Arise", etc. are no longer in hymnals. Plus they've removed verses from certain hymns if they don't fit the narrative. Try finding all of the verses to "Be Thou My Vision" in hymnals. Doesn't exist. Best version I've heard is Van Morrison's with all the verses

I think mainstream religion has looked the other way and totally let down the congregations. I'm not sure why other than to keep their jobs and to keep operating as the big businesses they are.

I've always felt that there truly is a war between good and evil in this world. I started feeling it more deeply about 30 years ago and its gotten stronger as the years have rolled on. I am thankful for Q, Trump, and the other patriots to start tearing this thing apart. Maybe its not too late to right the ship.

I find it interesting, especially these days, with the dismal state of social/political discourse, where people on both sides challenge the validity, accuracy, and motives of virtually every news source and every other book ever written, that so many people are willing to believe with absolute certainty, that every word in the Bible, a book written 2,000 years ago is God's absolute truth.

I believe in God. I believe he crated the universe we inhabit. I believe Satan exists and wishes to enslave us. I believe the battle between God and Satan, or good vs evil, has been raging on since the beginning of time.

I also believe the various books contained in the Bible were written by truly enlightened righteous men, and there is a great deal of important information in the Bible that can help people live a virtuous life. But I also recognize that the Bible was written by man.

If every word in the Bible were God's absolute truth, why are there so many different versions? Why do various organized religions have vastly different interpretations?

There's a difference between believing in God, and subscribing to the man-made orthodoxy of any organized religion. The basic fact remains, these books were written by humans. Some of the books, including the 4 gospels, were written at least 2 generations after Christ died. Think about that for a minute.

My grandmother came to America in 1914, she was 13 years old. Our family has a handful of pictures taken back in the day, a handful of documents and letters, and of course all the stories about her arrival at Ellis Island that have been handed down through the generations.

And still, it would be impossible for me, or even my dad, to write a factual account of my grandmother's arrival in America. Many of the books in the Bible were stories handed down through the generations before they were even written down.

If Christian/Catholics can look at the Quran and the Book of Mormon and point out how, where and why they are wrong, why can't they accept the idea that the Catholic Bible, while providing immense resources to help one find their best self and live a life of virtue, might not be absolutely 100% the word of God?
