I'm no sure if this will help, but I will give it a try.
1Jo 4:16
- And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
There is an old addage that goes something like this: "Was it love or the idea of being in love?" Which can be modified to say "Is it God, or an ideology of God?
But God is more than an ideology of love, for he is/has true love.
Col 1:6
- Which is come unto you, as [it is] in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as [it doth] also in you, since the day ye heard [of it], and knew the grace of God in truth:
Certainly, there are many works out there that really make us question all that we have read in the scriptures. Why is this?
1Cr 14:33
- For God is not [the author] of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
Stick with me on this please
If God is not the author of confusion, and is the only true God filled with true love for each of us. Then surely that is all we need. What other knowledge can (could ever) bring greater comfort than this?
I have accepted that I will never find the answers to the many questions I have, for they are irrevelant. This is MY percieved confusion, not God's.
Take confort in God's love, and know that his love and truth surpasses all human understanding.
I enoy watching shows such as the one on Mary and Thomas, even the one on Judas was interesting. Were they possible? Certainly. A distraction, Yes? Revelant? No. Because they do not strengthen my love for God or him to me. Just knowing that God truly loves me almost brings tears to my eyes.
What more is there?
I think this sounds kind of "preachy" I didn't mean it to be
Gods love and truth is simple, anything other is not of God.
My thoughts, thanks for allowing me to share.
