Chinese whispers

March 11, 2006

I know that the Bible is supposed to be the words of God, but really, who wrote it?  Did God?  No, He didn’t.  So if He didn’t write it, how likely is it that the Bible’s spiritual messages are exactly as He wanted them to be?

Have you heard of ‘Chinese whispers’?  That’s where you tell someone something, and they tell the same thing to someone else.  The only thing is, they’ll change a word or two here and there.  And then the person they told will tell someone else, also changing things.  By the time this has gone through a number of people, the original message has been lost completely, and the result is a completely different message.

That’s the Bible.

There are elements of the truth in there (but not the Truth – there’s a difference between the truth and the Truth), and some exceptionally good messages for you to follow. But after so many thousands of years of ‘whispers’, the words in there aren’t God’s words.  They’re the words of men.

I haven’t read the Bible.  I just listen to God instead.  It’s so much more interesting.  So please don’t question me about it.  I won’t tell you any truths from the Bible.  Instead, I’ll be talking about Truths in here.  Truths are much more relevent.

The Truth will set you free, as they say.  The Bible?  As far as I can tell, the Bible has become something to bind you, to control you, to force you to follow those religious leaders who promote it.

Follow only what you feel is right for you, not what others tell you is right for you.  They don’t know you like God does.  Let yourself listen to God in your heart, not in the words of the ‘chinese whisperers’ around you.
