I continue to alter my belief system based on more truths that have been revealed by GOD. Much of what I believed, I now doubt. But as are we all, I'm living, learning and amending as deemed fit.
So many people choose to just cleave to what they've long been taught and what they've long believed. They'd rather continue in what isn't truth rather than seek GOD further, in earnest -- and also to examine, research, view videos, etc. to unlearn what is false.
Many Christians believe that Bible content is FULLY and WHOLLY ACCURATE. They don't even desire to consider that lots in the Bible is allegory and metaphor and even some fiction. I was one such person but no more am I of that persuasion. Below is some of what I posted in my FB group. That gives some indication of where I am presently relative to my spiritual posture.
Note: At the end of this subject post are links to various resources that I read and viewed. They were very helpful indeed. Of course, I don't FULLY believe ANY resource. Perfection is EXCLUSIVE to GOD -- the SOURCE of ALL resources.
Also, at the end of this subject post, is another link from my blog to a post that you may be inclined to read.
What I posted in my FB group:
For some, business as usual is no longer on the radar.
PURE awakenings are on the rise.

There are going to be questions posted in this group that aren't what some folks are accustomed to relative to questioning, such as questioning Bible content.
At this stage in my life, I'm questioning a bunch of information, including what's expressed in the Bible.
For the first time in my life, I'm seeking our Father more earnestly
than ever -- digging deeper -- examining and researching -- seeking wise
counsel from others,etc.
I'm done believing just because things have been long taught, long learned and long believed. I want PROOFS from my OWN examinations, etc.
I'm going to be posting and sharing from other folks' pages -- content that is striking to me. That doesn't necessarily mean that I agree with it but that it will be considered. Such content could be right or wrong -- but I'm going to post for those who desire to seek our Father about the subject matter -- to ponder, etc.
Members here are encouraged to do the same -- post and share what strikes you . . .
Some members may leave this group . . .
We all do as we are so inclined.
My earnest pursuit is to embrace PROVEN TRUTHS. Others have that aim, as well . . .

Posted for review purposes, excerpt from book, "Gospel Fictions":
How do we know that the Gospel story is true? Because it confirms the prophecies of the Old Testament. But how do we know that the Old Testament prophecies are true? Because they are confirmed by the Gospel story. Evidence, so called, is bounced back and forth between the testaments Iike a tennis ball; and no other evidence is given us.The two testaments form a double mirror, each reflecting the other but neither the world outside."

I've not done any in depth reading of some of the posts and comments in some Facebook groups that tout about Black folks learning about our heritage, ancestry and such.

I've not done any in depth reading of some of the posts and comments in some Facebook groups that tout about Black folks learning about our heritage, ancestry and such.
I'm doing more research about the subject ancestry . . .
But I've seen some comments and posts in some of those groups that seem to push a Black power agenda -- that isn't representative of love for ALL of humankind.
For the record, I need to post that I don't endorse or promote Black power, White power, Red power, or Yellow power. I FULLY endorse and promote LOVE power.
So while I'm pleased to learn more about the heritage of Black folks, I'm NOT ever going to be on board with any messages that exalt race or culture superiority! And for anyone who may have those notions, such won't be tolerated from others in this group.
###
What's the greatest testimony/witness that GOD abides in us and we in Him? Love steadfastly demonstrated. GOD proves love and love proves GOD . . .

After some wise counsel today, I need to share the following:
When I post and comment in this group, I do so from the place of awareness in my heart and spirit.

When I post and comment in this group, I do so from the place of awareness in my heart and spirit.
Others likely do the same.
We're all living, learning and amending . . .
I don't want to go in a direction of seeking to convert people to how the pulse of my being moves . . .
This isn't a conversion motivated group.
I post and comment . . . Some of the subject content may be instrumental in folks changing your belief systems. Maybe so -- maybe not.
Whatever -- I'll continue to post/comment as inclined. All others in this group are welcome to do so, as well -- as long as expressions aren't cruel and belittling to the beliefs of others.
Again, please be mindful that this is NOT a group with focus to convert.
I'm reading, learning, and teaching from what I post and from what others post, as well.
If conversions are the results from reading/viewing what's in this group -- they should be because folks make PERSONAL choices to embrace as they are so inclined -- based on what our Father has revealed . . . on PERSONAL levels.
No altar calls here . . .
###
Note: I don't discourage disagreements but anything conversion heavy -- not welcome.

For those inclined to do some research, examining, viewing and studying resources -- below are some links to what I've read, reviewed and considered.

I'm closing the comment section on this post because I've learned from being on Facebook that MANY people outright disagree BEFORE seeking GOD in earnest for additional insights. Also, many folks are quick to reject, disagree with and to hastily comment before doing reasonable research, examinations and considerations. Typically, folks are inclined to cleave to their belief systems regardless of possibilities that they could be wrong. I was that way, so certainly I understand . . .
My wise counsel is that you read and view the resource material that I've posted above. If you decide not to, of course, I understand that we all live with our choices and the subsequent consequences.
Love flows to you!
