I've decided that it's time to offer my services for deep reading and interpreting of passages of the Bible. I have exhaustively read the Bible in English, Middle English and French, and have studies portions of it Latin, Koine Greek and Ancient Hebrew, including reading the ancient Hebrew pictographs. I did so for a simple reason: I'm alive because of God - 3 unambiguous episodes, and 6 other circumstances where God intervened to save my life. I have spoken with God on occasion, particularly during two 40-day water fasts. I know God exists, through direct personal contact. The scientific nature of God? Well, God never told me that he is the powers of nature. All that I know for certain is that he can read my thoughts and manipulate my physical body (including by healing it). In my thoughts, I extend this command over local nature, and the fact of intelligence, to control of the cosmos. God never told me that, but that's my logic and assumption. Now, the religious texts of the world, therefore, interest me. God exists, do these texts give any insight into him? In the West, we have the Bible. People here know it. I know it so well, so deeply BECAUSE I have looked through it, not for faith in God - I know God exists - but for factual details. As such, certain things in the text particularly interested me: the Genesis accounts, the Flood, the story of the Nephilim, the "soul", "Thou shall not kill...or murder", "Haaretz" - the land, the world?, "ha olam" and "ha slam va ed" (to.a distant time or forever?), "Kosmos", "Gehenna", "Sheol", the criteria for the afterlife, charity, Jesus on his return, "Spirit", "breath" and "wind" (Reach). These are the subjects that fascinate ME, and into which, therefore, I have placed the focus of my studies. I CAN, however, apply the same deep examination techniques to any part of the Bible. Just because these things fascinate me does not mean that they are the things that fascinate others So, if there is a particular aspect of the Bible that you want me to do a deep dive on, something that puzzles you, that you would like to hear an analysis of, reach out to me here and tell me. I will do an analysis and tell you what I see there. It may give you guidance, comfort, or something disturbing to think about. I have no agenda, just the ability to do deep study in multiple languages. That is all.

I missed this one. Where is praying to Mary in the Bible? Here this may help you.
@ninjakweli2993 2 months ago I’d also like to add Luke 11:27-28 “27 While Jesus was saying these things, one of the women in the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, “Blessed is the womb that carried You, and the breasts at which You nursed!” 28 But He said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God and follow it.”
True. And what Jesus has to say is certainly what God wants. On the other hand, what Yahweh says in the Torah about taking sex slaves of captive girls, murdering rape victims, people who leave their tent on Saturday, people who have sex during the woman's period, people who are "witches", or who eat shrimp, or who - if they're the priest's daughter - fornicate, etc., etc. These say they are the words of God right in that book. Either they are, or they are not. If they are, then no, Jesus, I'm not going to do that. If they aren't, great! Because then God isn't angry at me for rejecting them. If I rejected what Jesus has to say about goodness, that would be a problem. But THAT I accept. So, what IS "the word of God"? Is it THOSE ugly, barbaric words from the Torah that SAY they are the words of God? Or it is the words of Jesus that go the other way? I'm on Team Jesus.
Speaking of teams, I'm also on Team Trump. And since Trump is going to choose Vivek Ramaswamy as is running mate, I am doubly enthused. 12 years of MAGA! The Democrats aren't going to know what hit them!

Vivek as Veep? That would be ballsy, but would Trump adopt Ramaswamy's willingness to get rid of whole Federal Departments, starting with the Dept. of Education?
I like a lot of what Vivek says. He is very charismatic. He speaks much truth. But I don't know if I would trust a guy as president who worships this.
