May 29th- Sunday Again

Here we are at Sunday again. As promised, I have yet another anti-bible study for my readers. Today, I will focus more on the contradictions of what the bible says about homosexuality and also about the ideas of more than one god and goddesses as well as why we cannot simply use masculine pronouns when speaking of our great creator.
Many people against homosexuality use what I already talked about in my last Sunday post, and still more use the scripture of Sodom and Gomorah. Looking through my bible that I was given (the one I used last Sunday), I see nothing about homosexuality and what the people of these two cities actually did wrong. In the older bibles they talk about homosexuality, fornication, idol worship, and human sacrifices. In fact, in Genesis 18:20-21 it reads only, "And the Lord said, 'Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorah is so great, and because their sin is very grave. I will go down now and see whether the have done altogether according to the outcry against it that has come to Me, and if not, I will know.' " I then went into the concordance in the back to see if there was any mention of the word homosexuality in this bible. No surprise to me finding there was none. As you can see, this scripture does not even go into detail as to why the two cities were destroyed in this newer version of the bible. The only reason priests back in the day had to include that word in older bibles was indeed because of their own disapproval of homosexuality in order to get people to follow them and also disapprove of it. This is why I say, the bible is nothing but a book that is written and interpreted the way the person doing so wishes people to hear in order to manipulate those people into believing their belief. They had to take all that other stuff out due to the rising of the GLBT community so as not to insight a riot.
Next topic concerns our great creator and how in every bible, people refer to this creator as He, Him, and His. However, looking through my bible to find the scripture once presented a long time back about God's face is so bright, brighter than the sun, that to look upon it would mean instant death. Surprisingly, I could not find this scripture, nor did my ex-uncle in-law ever remember hearing this very scripture before. Yet, I know for certain it was once written if not now. I shall look more deeper for it and attempt to speak of it again in the future. I can, however, speak of the facts pointing to more than the one God people try to say is the only God.
In my last post I spoke of the part in Genesis, but now to go even deeper in the ten commandments. Exodus 20:1-3 says, "And God spoke all these words saying, 'I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me." It does not say You shall have no other gods other than Me. No! It says before Me. Our creator here is indeed acknowledging the facts of more than one god or goddess but wishes that we not worship them above our creator. There is the highest of the high, our creator, but there are also lesser gods and goddesses under this creator.
Until I find that scripture about God's face, I will have to just say that the bible is indeed a lie created by the hands of men who only wished to control everyone else by writing the bible in the first place and then adding and taking away as suited to their own belief they wanted to brainwash everyone into believing as well. To me, I wonder if the Wiccans are more correct in their belief of no deity at all but rather maybe it is the very power of the four elements of nature that rule over us. Maybe there is no God or Devil except for those which we ourselves create by what we do to others as well as the reasons why we do them. I say that is also included because people can do good things for others, but it is their motives behind why they are doing those good things that determine what they will get in return. Someone who does good for selfish reasons may not get what they are seeking if the good deed does not come from the heart but only for such things as expecting something back in return or even to not have to face something within themselves. Wicca creed states, "An it harm none, so mote it be." This means we are free to do as we wish as long as it does not harm others or ourselves. They also say that whatever you cast unto others returns to us ten fold. If we cast evil, evil shall come to us, but if we cast good from our heart and not for personal gain of any type, we shall receive nothing but good. My sister, Christine Bordelon, once told me that if you wish to attract positive, you must first think positive, act positive, and do positive things. This is similar to what the Wiccans believe.
I shall leave you now with all this to think about. Take care and be safe always.
