with them on religion, politics and everything in between.
Although I’m not one who is particularly fond of
“stirring the pot,” I often do this unintentionally because of
my inquisitive mind and investigative nature. But my
personality traits have served me well and I’m especially
thankful I never wavered on my desire to seek truth at every
turn.
I have always believed in a higher power and never
questioned whether or not there is an intelligent creator
behind the intricate design we are all a part of. Obviously, I
have had many questions about man and his fabricated
ideologies.
My search for rock-solid answers led me to the
knowledge I now possess about God’s true plan for humanity
He revealed to the Jews in the beginning.
It cannot be denied that the Hebrew Scriptures are
vastly different from those in the New Testament. All one
has to do is open their eyes and take a good hard look at the
countless passages the Christian bible cherry-picked from
Tanakh and unabashedly twisted to fit their Jesus narrative.
I could probably fill an entire book with them but
instead, I have chosen a few to share with you that are
particularly disturbing.
Although Tanakh repeats time and time again Israel is
God’s first-born son, Christianity insists it’s Jesus who has this
honor. But think about it. Their entire narrative wouldn’t
hold an ounce of water if Jesus wasn’t elevated to a god-like
status.
