Thanks for your honesty. I agree that there are many ways to interpet the bible, that is why it is important to figure out what you believe.

I would encourage you to start reading the bible more, if you are a Christian. It is hard enough to be a Christian in this crazy world, but if you don’t know why you believe in what you believe in, it becomes even more difficult.

Satan is a real enemy who seeks to destroy us.God’s word is the armour we need to protect us. It is what Jesus himself used against satan when satan was trying his best to tempt Jesus to sin. Jesus quoted scripture back to him. This is our model. See Matthew 4.

If you feel you don’t have the skills to interpet the bible, join a bible study. Learn from others. You can also find many tools to help you in the Christian book store. If you just ask you will be surprised how easy it is to study the bible. One requirement, according to scripture, is you must be filled with the Holy Spirit in order for it to make sense to you. 1 Corinthians 2:14.

God bless you.

Sounds good. Just remember to drink eight glasses of water, get 30 to 60 minutes of exercise, keep contact with friends, pursue a healthy hobby, advance your career, make time for yourself and of course... floss!
