I did not mean that the bible was written by one man I did not mention that at all. My point was that the holy spirit moved these people to write, so they obviously believed they could contact the realm of reality and thusly describing an afterlife. Which the church wishes you to not believe in unless it suits their needs to instill a grandeur of heaven or the wrath of hell. Till this day they will still deny the existence of demons yet they have an exorcism ritual? hmmm oh yeah and that whole monetary thing is so the pope can live in luxury in his gold mansion funny my religion asks nothing of money and yet we are the third largest in the US how did we accomplish that? The good things in life are free. Abel do you have a formal education in the bible I'm not being mischevous about that question I just feel like you are well taught. I respect that. Passion and conviction. To also refer to rituals form a previous message it would seem the church has just as many as any other performed on a weekly basis. So it would seem all religions and the men and women who belong are bonded.
