When I was in my mid to late twenties, I got curious. I researched reincarnation, spirit guides, tarot cards, and meditation leading to out of body experiences. At the end of it, I determined that all of it is worthless. The Bible has proven itself to be true in my experience and learning. All of it, true. I either stand on that fully and completely, or I am just one seeking her own way, and that only lead to pain and suffering.
Abba's loving instructions given in the Holy Scriptures are my guidelines, my understanding, and my whole direction in this flesh, so that I may spend eternity with Yah and Messiah. So that I may be a light to those in darkness, a bridge to those seeking truth. There are blessings for walking out His instructions, and cursings for not, but that's not my motivation. For me, I see the Bible as my instructions for life, the Torah and the Ruach as my guides in discipleship. My salvation is from and thru Yahushua alone.
Over the years of seeking truth and studying I have learned that I have been deceived about a great many things: history, science, wars, medicine, and even my beloved Bible. Perhaps you too have noticed deceptions as well. I have fatigue from finding these deceptions, like "really? that too? are you kidding me? Seriously? what is true?" WHAT IS TRUE? The truth is still there in those Holy Inspired Words. We just have to dig thru the muck to find it. It's in reading the scriptures in context, knowing how the Scriptures define words, reading the scriptures from a perspective of the writers and receivers of the text, read from the Masoretic and Septuagint translations, pray for understanding, be open to seeing it anew, research history for yourself, be a Berean. Test everything.
