And yet it only got more unclear to most people. Still happening today also.I've always wondered why whitespace and punctuation was so late to gain popularity. I know the writing material was expensive, but all it takes is a tiny dot between words to make it a lot more clear.
Yes, in Scripture - that is , the Bibles available, whether from Jews or from gentiles; both have punctuation and 'changes', as mankind gets farther and farther distant from Scripture.....I'm saying in scripture...
In days of yore, the Bible was the only text available for many people to read and in many cases people were illiterate and listened to others read the Bible to them. Now there are many books available.And yet it only got more unclear to most people. Still happening today also.
Thus, or why, is it not clear to you ?

Not to go off-topic but I saw a video about this awhile back:I know the writing material was expensive, but all it takes is a tiny dot between words to make it a lot more clear.
Thus billions of more opportunities to sin.In days of yore, the Bible was the only text available for many people to read and in many cases people were illiterate and listened to others read the Bible to them. Now there are many books available.
The TORAH agrees: TRAIN UP A CHILD in the way he should go,In days of yore as of today we are born illiterate,
From then on what we first heard is the foundation of how we build.
Thinking back it seems that way, at any rate,
The TORAH agrees: TRAIN UP A CHILD in the way he should go,
and when he is older,
he will not depart far from it.

That is a clear example of projecting.I am proposing that Christianity should be a living religion where each human uses his/her direct access to God to determine if God exists, who he is, what he wants from humans, etc. I am not recommending the use of non-Christian religious texts.
Maybe so.That is a clear example of projecting.
You are the one who doesn't know if God exists.. you've called your efforts if any.. fuzzy. And your conclusion has been that God is inaccessible..
yet you are telling Christians what they ought to do to determine if God exists.
The Bible says that anyone who comes to God must believe that He exists. The belief comes from the witness of the Holy Spirit who leads and guides into all the truth. Jesus said that God's Word is truth.Maybe so.
A pagan god(s) indoctrinates fully into death, on the path to destruction.An indoctrinated child doesn't really have faith and I find it highly suspicious that god would suggest otherwise.
What if I replaced "pagan god(s)" with "Christian God" and posted the above into this friendly "world religions" sub-forum? I am almost certain that I would get into trouble for breaking some forum rules - probably a blasphemy rule I suppose.A pagan god(s) indoctrinates fully into death, on the path to destruction.
"Faith" in deception, in deadly direction.

You seem like an earnest and sincere person, but I think you would be more successful in your evangelical efforts if you stopped with all the fire and brimstone.
I'm confused. If I rephrased your criticism of the pagan gods to become a criticism of the Christian God then I would be in violation of CF rules. How would that help me find the truth?As long as God promises fire and brimstone to pagans, it is so.
Try replacing those words as you noted, IF you have a REAL QUESTION, IF you TRULY are seeking the TRUTH.
If you are not seeking the TRUTH, don't bother.
Ask and find out, IF you really want to know.I'm confused. If I rephrased your criticism of the pagan gods to become a criticism of the Christian God then I would be in violation of CF rules. How would that help me find the truth?
The criticism you wrote of the pagan gods was not a question, so if I rephrase your criticism to make it apply to the Christian God then it will not be a question either. So what is it that you want me to ask and find out?Ask and find out, IF you really want to know.
If you're worried, or don't want to know the truth, don't ask.
Find another section to ask in if you have to to alleviate your 'worries'.
What's this "direct access to God" supposed to mean?I am proposing that Christianity should be a living religion where each human uses his/her direct access to God to determine if God exists, who he is, what he wants from humans, etc. I am not recommending the use of non-Christian religious texts.
