That said, this post just goes to show how wildly a simple book can be interpreted.
Personally, I think it’s pretty clear on most things
(of course there’s room for different interpretations, but the main parts are pretty tricky to mistake if you read them openly)
When you really look into scripture, you come to realize it’s a book filled with words with no real truth outside of some dudes wrote it.
Not really, God told those dudes what to write
When you were a Christian, what did you believe about hell?
(I know you’re partly joking, but imma take you seriously for a sec since this is a good point)
Just because someone says that God told them something doesn’t mean that God actually told them. These things should always be checked against what we already know He said, we shouldn’t just believe them.
I see. So you have an explanation of why God changes his mind about the details, why there are so many variants in the texts, and why some random Letters, Epistles, and Gospels are missing? If God choosr to write a book why is he so bad at the task?
I used to be a Christian so I like to think I know my hermeneutics.
That said, this post just goes to show how wildly a simple book can be interpreted. I wasn’t a Seventh Day Adventist. I was a Calvinist.
It shows just how confident you can be in absolutely nothing.

God also told me that you’re going to hell for being a Seventh Day Adventist. He inspired me to write it down and everything.
So you got that going for you.
