I am not so arrogant as to imagine that I will get through to someone such as yourself who has demonstrated a desperate desire to do absolutely anything to avoid worshiping the actual Jesus of the Bible rather than an imaginary Jesus.

But if you should ever get to a point where nothing is working for you and you are desperate, call out to the Jesus of the Bible, first commit yourself to follow him only, rejecting all others, and then ask him to show you He really is.

The Jesus of the Bible calls us to reject everything except Him in order to truly follow Him.

God has always said that He is a jealous God and will not tolerate the worship of other gods, which would obviously have to include the god who is “self.”

Ultimately it is not worth it to seek mental and physical relief from suffering if we use it to live for our own imagination of what is right.

Only living for God, regardless of any suffering we may have to endure, will be rewarded in the end.

Which version of the “actual Jesus of the Bible” is the one correct one? The Catholic? The Baptist? The Mormons? They don’t all worship the same Jesus. That’s the problem I’ve know since I was a teenager.
