Prejudging...

I do appreciate your sharing. I did a little research on the Skeptic's Annotated Bible. I read the preface, and now I understand a little better where you are coming from with your opinions. It seems as if you have found a guide that will take you through the Bible and still keep you on track with your current beliefs. (I admit that I do that, too.) You are on an ambitious journey. You have a road map that will take you from beginning to end. Who and what you take on that journey can also effect the experience of the trip.

For a long time, the God that I knew and loved didn't seem to match the God of the Old Testament. If I had decided to do this before I invited Christ into my life, I think that my journey would have been similar to yours. (God knows that I had a few excursions into the Bible where I felt the same way that you did.) At this time, my prejudices are not getting in the way of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I know them and love them, and I am happy to have them with me. I'm not saying that you HAVE to take Them with you on your journey in order to read the Bible; however, what I am suggesting is that, along your journey, you take sometime to meet and be open to some people who do know this Holy Trinity. Then maybe, you will begin to understand the Bible is all about God’s Love for us. I know that it is hard to see now, but I am excited about all that you can gain from the experience if you are willing to look for the signs.

I hope that you enjoy your journey.

As always, thank you for sharing your perspective.
