Once you free ya mind from what PREACHERS tell you, spend QUIET time with the Bible, (without all the pomp & circumstance, hoopla & holla of the Church, AND ANYONE RAISED IN THE CHURCH, KNOWS WHAT I MEAN) and

ACTUALLY SPEND TIME REFLECTING ON NOT ONLY WHAT THE WORDS SAID, BUT WHAT THE DEEPER MEANING THE SPEAKER WAS TRYING TO CONVEY WHEN THEY SAID IT...THE BIBLE CAN BE AN AWESOME BOOK...BUT FIRST YOU MUST FREE YA MIND FROM WHAT YOU:

1.)Heard about it...GET TO KNOW IT 4 YASELF...Come to YOUR OWN conclusions...

2.)Was AND was NOT taught about it...SEARCH THE HIDDEN BOOKS OR AT LEAST MAKE AN ATTEMPT (in my case)...Those books AND the history of WHY THEY WERE LEFT OUT ARE EXTREEEEMLY IMPORTANT....

3.)ARE TAUGHT ABOUT THE RENEGADES AND PROPONENTS OF THE CHURCH...
Always keep in mind these things when reading the history of the book...
TIME PERIOD...
LOCATION...
DIFFERENT CULTURES...
SOCIOLOGY...
PSYCHOLOGY...

But I'm still studying it whenever I feel like it so...carry on...
