Purpose
I want to share my reason for making this blog and the videos to go along with it. The purpose I'm trying to attain.
I love YouTube and I love the bible, and people. But there is one thing I cannot stand. And that is the institution of religion. I remember, and tell me if you've felt the same, sitting in church, listening to the preacher and them saying, "OK turn in your bible to blah blah verse whatever." Then they'll read it and say, "now in this verse they're talking about..."
And that always struck me the wrong way. I always felt that they were telling me how to think, and I have a problem doing what I'm told. I have always been SUPER independent and I always did the opposite of what I am told.
That being said, I am working on that! I feel that it is important to think for youself, it helps you discover who you are and what your role in life is. But you still have to listen to others' ideas and what they have to say. Not to mention their experiences.
It is SOOO important to be different, wolf packs depend on those differences to make them strong and keep them alive. Our human pack is the same. If we stifle each other's ability to think or their confidence to voice their opinions we're doing each other a disservice. We need those differences in thinking, not only to keep us fresh but to notice when people are veering off the path and guide them the right way.
On the other side of that coin you have the people who are the "conspiracy theorists'" who look into things that seem to have no founding in sense, or are so deep in their own searches that they have passed regular people's knowledge caps.
I wanted to do a video log of actually reading the actual bible on film and saying what I have gathered from it. I will read it from cover to cover in video and discuss what i find/found while reading it. I wanted to make it like an open forum bible study, where you all can ask questions and I can read them on a video and everyone can share their thoughts. I want this to be from a fresh perspective, of someone who hasn't been cookie cuttered by a "school" into thinking a certain way.
The Bible is a confusing thing, not because of, "contradiction" or "fantastical creatures" but because we are in a modern, mostly western mindset, where we see those things as barbaric, old fashioned, or just plain wrong. But we have to realize that the bible was written literally, "in the beginning." When things were raw and nothing was known about how depraved people could/would get, and how depraved they still are today.
That being said, I do not feel that the bible is old fashioned, outdated, not relevant to today, or false in any way. I feel that it is the oldest history book alive and well, and if there is one thing that is known by all, it is this, we can learn from history what to and what not to do today.
I am ridiculously excited to start doing this and I want it to be a wonderful experience for everyone who wants to learn more about themselves and the bible. As soon as I get, either a new phone or an actual video camera I will start the videos.
