There are different religions on earth, tons of them, and Christianity is one of the many religions.
I am a Christian who believes in the God but sometimes, it gets hard to believe. Sometimes, my head starts questioning every single story I have heard about my beliefs. The "what ifs" usually becomes enormous to the extent that I give up and just keep all the questions to my self.
Don't beat me for coming clean.
Honestly, I don't actually believe that the Bible was translated 100% without replacing a word with another.

There are tons of questions I have but it can not be answered by an ordinary person. I have tried asking some pastors about it, but the only excuse they have is to start viewing my curiosity as being possessed or something.
WHAT ADVENTURE WILL I GO IF I HAVE THE RESOURCES AND OPPORTUNITY
From what I have said earlier, it is obvious that I will immediately embark on an adventure to unveil every single truth(answers) behind the questions. I will go to isreal, Jerusalem, the red sea, the path the children of Israel passed before reaching the promise land e.t.c
Each and every story in the Bible, I will embark on an adventure to unveil the place and the real story. I have been hearing that the Bible is not complete, I will use this opportunity to check the validity of this information.
According to the Bible, Moses turned his staff into snakes, I will also know the validity of this information. I will look for different stories, (worth believing) and first hand views of the places where these things happened.
Don't get me wrong, I believe in the words of the Bible, I believe in every single thing but honestly, the dots are not really connecting. Sounds like a make-believe story.
I know you may say that the Lord is not to be questioned, or some spiritual things are no to be understood by we mere mortals, but i want to remind you that you should understand everything because according to the bible, we have God in us, and we are small gods. Since we have God in use, we should be able to understand everything.
WHY THIS ADVENTURE
I am an over thinker who believes in factuality, though this is not applied to my believe in the Lord, it gets hard sometimes.
My mind play tricks on me at times. (don't dare say is the work of the devil) i always think of the possibility of everything. Why did God sent the devil here to torment his people when he has the power to eradicate him? Mercy? What happened to the love he has for his people?
There are tons of things in my head that I really want to ask but no body to answer me. No one can give me the answers I seek, so, I think my believe will be built staunchly by connecting the dots my self through seeing where the events took place and hearing from real people, not the Matrix.
There's a complex philosophy in my head that not everyone can relate to and I have come to understand this. It is better to explain things to myself because I am a very complex person when thinking. I am not blasphemous, no far from that, I just want to understand properly many things. If this gift that was given to us in form of a Bible is true or not.
WHAT I HOPE TO ACHIEVE WITH THIS ADVENTURE
I don't blindly believe in anything. I know Christians say that we should blindly believe but that doesn't apply to me. I am the Thomas of my time.
What if I tell you that if you invest 50k bucks in my business, it will triple with 3 weeks without telling you the process, neither did i give you factual reasons you should invest nor did i tell you the business plan or anything. I just said bring 50k bucks and triple it in 3weeks. Would you invest? No. Well unless you hear many people you trust are saying good about the business... based on what the people you trust say, you will invest blindly irrespective of the fact that the business may be a scam. Do you understand?
This is why I need to see first hand about every thing the bible say. I believe in God, I believe that there is a supreme being who is in charge of everything, who created me but what I don't believe in is the mode of worship and what we use to worship him.
With this adventure, I will be able to connect the dots in my head, get answers to my questions and also strengthen my belief to the max.
Thank you for reading 😊 and please, do not get my perspective wrongly.
