it's a yearly reading plan yeah. Read it chronologically but realize that you'll have to read it your entire life. a passage like 1 john 2:12-14 will give you a different reaction depending on what age you are. The bible is a book for a lifetime.

@twinkletoez

I definitely plan on using it to focus my reading. Thanks for putting me on, brother 🤝

@Bestowed You put me on Pastor Darby and I been hooked since

I started with the New Testament then will go back to the Old

But you can start anywhere really and there’s study plans as people have mentioned. It might be recommended to start with shorter books to gain momentum as well.

This is something that has always perplexed me as I began my readings. I've always prayed to God without much recognition to Jesus but things have always worked out well. I believe in Jesus, but it always felt extra to try and include that aspect in my prayer & communication..

Life is tough and will always have hardships. I know it feels like we deserve better from others but that’s not God’s fault. I’ve been there. Just know you’re not alone fam.

Would love to pose some questions to someone very knowledgeable about Christianity

What questions do you have?

Ya'll believe you are seperate from God right?

Yes

But God is infinite right? This is what always confused me

God is omnipresent, He is everywhere at once. An example would be just because you are at a park doesn't mean you are that park. Just because God is everywhere doesn't mean he is everything.

Yh that one. Omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient.

I never got how you say God has all this boundlessness and infinite power etc but then he has bounds if everything in existence is not also God

God created all things.

Bro right! Yea Darby is honest, powerful and lets it flow.

Are yall thurr?

The omnipotence paradox is a family of paradoxes that arise with some understandings of the term omnipotent. The paradox arises, for example, if one assumes that an omnipotent being has no limits and is capable of realizing any outcome, even a logically contradictory one such as creating a square circle. Atheological arguments based on the omnipotence paradox are sometimes described as evidence for countering theism. Other possible resolutions to the paradox hinge on the definition of omnipotence applied and the nature of God regarding this application and whether omnipotence is directed toward God himself or outward toward his external surroundings.

"Omnipotence does not mean breaking the laws of logic" - A common response from Christian philosophers, such as Norman Geisler or William Lane Craig, is that the paradox assumes a wrong definition of omnipotence. Omnipotence, they say, does not mean that God can do anything at all but, rather, that he can do anything that is possible according to his nature. The distinction is important. God cannot perform logical absurdities; he cannot, for instance, make 1+1=3. Likewise, God cannot make a being greater than himself because he is, by definition, the greatest possible being. God is limited in his actions to his nature. The Bible supports this, they assert, in passages such as Hebrews 6:18, which says it is "impossible for God to lie."

Christ brings me peace but it feels selfish

Peace I leave with you; my
peace I give to you. Not
as the world gives do I give
to you. Let not your
hearts be troubled, neither
let them be afraid.

highly recommend the film Silence powerful powerful stuff

Have you seen Marty’s other religious films like Kundun and Last Temptation?

It’s like how you are with your parents

no, should i?

My parents are not infinite according Christianity
