I have a hard time with the concept of the Bible, since I have heard it being discredited and that it isn’t a good solid source of God’s word, since it was written by man. This has been a test of faith..I was wondering how to deal with it? Or..if there is a different way to think about it? It wasn’t, after all, written by Them but by humans.

My mom always says that if God wants to reach you through a Dr. Seuss book, he’s gonna reach you. The text itself is not quite as important as what he himself has to say. There are inaccuracies, partly from translations and partly because we have a history of not liking our faults to be called out or wish to push our own opinions on others.

This is just where, when you read a passage, you just ask that he’ll give you an accurate interpretation and speak to you of what HE wants you to know, not what the ghost writers of the Bible want to say. Tell God that you don’t want to hear from them, that you want to listen to him and him only.

It’ll work out.

This is some good advice, thank you! I never thought of asking for Gods guidance before reading the book, which seems absolutely silly now that I think about it. I will try this ❤
