I am not saying that the theories, such as Christianity and the Bible are not correct, they are.

I haven't figured out yet what you believe, but you need to repent of it and turn to Christ.

Whatever experiences you've had notwithstanding, the Bible is ***NOT*** a "theory.

It is the God breathed, Holy Spirit inspired, unchanging, rock solid word of the living God.

It is not subservient to your experiences. It is the measure of all things, including whatever experiences you've had. And if those experiences do not line up with what God says, they are not of God, they are deceptions of the enemy no matter what it feels like to you.

“I haven’t figured out yet what you believe, but you need to repent of it and turn to Christ.”

When you are filled with the Holy Spirit it allows you to perceive Christ directly. I do not just believe in Christ, I know and experience Him daily. It is He who gives purpose to my life. It’s not a matter of just repenting and turning to Christ, you must be one with Christ and only then is our Father also perceived by us.

Until an individual follows the teachings in the Bible and the teachings of Jesus fully, what they are reading is just theory. It is only when a person moves ahead and fully experiences Jesus’ teachings that one recognizes them as scientific fact. There is no such thing as a miracle, it is merely science that we do not currently understand.

Guess what, when you follow the teachings of the Bible and have Christ in you, the teachings of Buddha and Krishna also make absolute sense and you quickly realize that they were both trying to teach almost the same thing. Dying daily in Christianity and being an empty vessel for example is much the same as the concept of non-attachment in Buddhism. People spend way to much time arguing that their own religion is the one and only while withholding Love from anyone who does not agree with their opinions. (Remember what John said in 1John 4, that if you do not Love your neighbor and say that you Love God, you are a liar.) We can learn much about our own religion by also learning the religions of others, after all the anatomy & physiology of all human souls is about the same.
