Uncertain or Frustrated about the Bible and its teaching for your Life?

Above is a new video I've published entitled "Uncertain or Frustrated about the Bible?"

Do you feel frustrated or uncertain about the Bible and its teaching for your life?

If you do, I've been there! 

I was committed to a literalist approach to the Bible for twenty years of my adult life. I was looking to the Bible not so much out of any fear of hell but rather because I was searching for personal transformation --

trying to change aspects of my own behavior and know the right path to take in my life -- and what was so frustrating was that no matter how hard I tried (using a literalistic approach), it wasn't working.

Religions based on literalistic approaches to the Bible (or literalistic approaches to other ancient myths and scriptures and sacred stories) promise transformation and guidance, but if they are based on a wrong approach to those ancient sources, they often invert the message entirely and can very easily cause more harm than good.

Following the wrong interpretation can really tear you up inside. The Reverend Charles Haddon Sturgeon (1834 - 1892) was one of the most well-known and popular preachers and advocates of the literal interpretation of the Bible and remains very influential within literalist Christianity to this day. But he was plagued with terrible bouts of depression throughout his life. This is not disputed by literalist Christians -- a 2018 biography of his wife Susannah written by an American Christian pastor says of Susannah: "At times she found him weeping though he didn't know why, his depressions could be so dark."

Religions that promise moral guidance and personal transformation without being able to deliver can be seen as practicing a kind of Religious Abuse.

If we are reading the Bible the wrong way, it simply stands to reason that we are likely to get the wrong message.

For the past fifteen years, after approaching the Bible literally for the previous twenty years of my adult life, I have been pursuing a different approach. And I am sharing that approach in an upcoming free zoom seminar entitled Self-Defense against Religious Bullying and Religious Abuse on June 22nd at 5pm Eastern time (USA). 

If you are not familiar with my work, my approach will probably be unlike anything you have ever heard before -- but it is backed by enormous amounts of evidence and years of research, and I will be sharing some of that evidence during this live zoom seminar.

If you or someone you know has been exposed to Religious Bullying or Abuse, or if you simply want to have confidence instead of uncertainty and frustration when it comes to the Bible and its message, I encourage you to join me or to tell your friend or loved one about this free zoom seminar.
