And furthermore, as far as the historical accuracy versus the quote un quote Fairy Tale goes, there is no such thing as the past or the future. God is in the present.

True, that’s when the ego is clearly involved. If other religions frighten you, that says something about you & your faith

why bother with all that spiritual knowledge when the Deity could have just invented Shoot Em Up video games instead?

or candy crush

whats up with their faces

BG 6.6: For those who have conquered the mind, it is their friend. For those who have failed to do so, the mind works like an enemy.

That made me think of a fortune cookie right there lol.

The Bhagavad Gita is wonderful. I’ll post a picture of my copy when I get home.

If God would write an honest straight forward bible personally, in one go, rather than a curated list of several pamphlets, I would imagine it would be like the Bhagavad Gita. It should satisfy the most religious person as well as the most scientific person.

The Mahābhārata is a series of pamphlets. The Law (Septuagint) was "in one go", and can satisfy the religious and scientific alike.

Everything else is just commentary on the Law

Never heard of the Septuagint

That's cool. It's just weird that people run around believing that God Is monopolized by a certain text rather than God being the inspiration of those cherished scriptures.

where is evil located?

Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go: Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.

And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.
Ecclesiastes 3:13 KJV

What is your definition of virtue?

a value that has made it's way into your life to the point it you are guided by it, like a code of honor

@noobpocket the root word 'vir' means man in latin.

Heard this from a few people and It concerns me as dumb as it sounds but can only Israeli descent be saved?

"whosoever believeth in him shall not perish"

True, he came first for the Jews, but when they rejected him, he sent his disciples out to invite everyone who would accept.

God the Father is the "certain king" Jesus is the son whom the wedding is for. "Those who were invited" are Abraham's offspring through Jacob who's name was changed to Israel. The servants are the disciples, the highways are the nations outside of Israel, the Gentiles of those nations are the ones that were found and gathered together. The wedding garment is the Blood of the Lamb.

@DasBoles Thank you for the explanation I was worried

don't thank me, I just pointed to the explanation. Go pray to God and ask him to reveal these things to you. Ask and ye shall receive. Seek and ye shall find.

Yes sir!

If he gave me the gift of the knowledge of scripture, he will give it to anyone. This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
Galatians 5:22‭-‬26 KJV

And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ ” Exodus 3:14
Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” Then they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, going[a] through the midst of them, and so passed by. John 8:58-59
