In honour of the precious blood of Jesus his death, resurrection and ascension. Which lead to everlasting life; true as Jesus was born on Christmas Day; true as Jesus was crucified on Good Friday; true as Joseph and Nicodemus,
took Jesus down from the cross and burried him; true as Jesus ascended into heaven,
May he preserve me from my enemies visible and invisible forever.
Oh, Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me.
Mary and Joseph, pray for me. Lord Jesus Christ though your suffering on the Cross give me strength to bear the cross without fear of dread and give me the grace that may follow you.
AMEN

I never get why people study or follow or read the bible.
Would you do the same with for instance "It" by Stephen King?

The bible has been translated so many times that it stands to reason many deviations and mistakes slipped in. Sometimes the omission or altering of 1 letter can change the entire meaning of a text.

But the bible isn't pure to begin with as it was construed by a group of men -as in the variety of humans with a penis, no woman had a say- in Nicaea in the year 325.
That is: 1800 years ago.
They decided what was to come into the so called holy book and what was to be left out as it wasn't convenient for them.
It was all about allowing them to stay in power, to get even more power etc.

It is not a good representation of the scrolls.
It's not for nothing that the Vatican is keeping huge amount of scrolls & texts behind lock & key.
They do have the original stuff, but don't want people to know it as it would mean they lose their influence, power, and their billions.

One big thing these men did -that has altered societies worldwide to date- is to make woman inferior and man superior.
Mary Magdalene was turned into a whore by church while she was Jesus' life partner and equal. They were both of high Essene descend, highly trained and equal which is why they worked together.

It's also odd that no one ever thought of the fact that vilifying Mary Magdalene would actually mean Jesus wasn't pure either. I mean, a guy that would hang out with a prostitute?
And even if Jesus had chosen to spend his life and Divine work with a prostitute, the message would still have been the same: We are ALL equal!!

What the Divine wants for us is to sense and feel for ourselves. Not to blindly follow some man-made (as in by humans with a penis) 1800 year old doctrine. It is obsolete.
Blindly following something external (which a religion is) is giving your power away.
Follow the what is with-in, not that what is with-out.

And think about this: If you need surgery would you see a doctor who practises medicine the way it was done in the year 325? Or would you rather put your trust in an up to date modern doctor?
It's the exact same thing with your bible.

Some mentioned there are a lot of false doctrines out there. Your bible is one of them.
