All of these books can't be God breathed, meaning God dictated them to men and humankind must follow the rules in them.

All of the sacred texts, including those in the canon we call the Bible, were written by spiritual men and women to communicate what they knew about God to humankind. But God didn't write them. And we can't suppose that we should obey the rules in any of them.

Our relationship to God is entirely personal. We must find out own understanding of God. If someone says "I believe God is what's in the Bible," then they're effectively shutting out the voice of God speaking to them. They're believing someone else's conception of God, meaning it came from the physical realm.

The Bible is just a set of books written by ordinary folks like you and me.


You wrote, "And Jesus? Do we meet Jesus?"

Jesus has long gone beyond the Earth plane. No, we won't meet Jesus, but we'll meet eternal selves who are as wise and spiritual as Jesus was when he was on Earth.

Love and peace, Craig
