I've begun re-reading the bible. I have a copy of the Revised Standard Version, which is different from the King James bible I grew up with. I've read it before, and much like before, it poses more questions than it does answers...especially in the Old Testament. I'm trying not to let small details lead me astray as I'm always warry of translations...rather, I'm trying to focus on the core messages and philosophies. This has been difficult, and I find myself wanting to find evidence of the unconditional love of God...all I've found are examples of his wrath...which in my specific position, doesn't make me feel remotely saved...only doomed for my transgreassions. Granted, I've only read through Numbers, and I will continue reading. It's all I can do...and pray.
