My Story

When I was younger, I hated religion to its core, didn’t believe a word in the Bible, and viewed Catholics/Christians as sick diseased people who practiced blind faith… dangerous. I found that the Bible promoted hate and judgement and that was not at what the world needed.

Jehovah Witnesses came one day and I mentioned some disturbing verses from the Bible to explain why I don’t care for it. They went on to tell me “what the Bible really means …” which infuriated me that they would assume their own interpretation so they could not be found wrong. The pride found in so many people blinds them, it sickened me. The Bible was an evil that needed debunking, so I made it my mission to open their eyes…

I studied the Bible extensively and would get into hot debates about it with these Jehovah Witnesses. At the end of each visit we’d both conclude that we needed to do more research and would come back with our findings the next visit. It was very educational and actually quite fun until they started bringing ‘back up’ Jehovah Witnesses who would only refer to the same ol’ “what the Bible really means is…” with no verses to back up their claims… So I stopped seeing them but continued my studies with means of educating others.

I continued to find contradiction after contradiction, but I also began to see a pattern that intrigued me; one that suggested there are two authors to the Bible (*gasp) and that perhaps these contradictions are in plain view for those who genuinely seek the truth to find it. My findings in the New Testament were even more significant. Some of which coincided with some New Age beliefs and so much more that were never made mention of, or at least that I never heard of before.

I was astonished at what the Bible actually taught, and so much more astonished at what was ignored by so-called Christians. What I previously hated in the Bible was confirmed to be something worth hating after reading the New Testament, I'll get more into this on a later post...
