To those who’ve asked the following questions(not an exhaustive list):

-Why aren’t dinosaurs explicitly mentioned in the Bible?

-What was Jesus doing at the ages 12-32? Did he ever marry? Have children? The New Testament only contains the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, James, John, Peter, and Paul(mostly) but what can be learned about Jesus and his teachings from the ‘excluded’ gospels of Andew, Bartholomew, Judas, Simon, and Phillip? Why were these books excluded from the Bible?

-Did “only” Adam & Eve (2 people) have sufficient genetic diversity between them to create today’s world population of 8 billion people? Did God only create Adam & Eve, were Adam & Eve simply the focus of the text, or is the story of “Adam & Eve” metaphorical ?

- How did people know the truth of “God” before the modern Bible and its manuscripts existed? Did Jesus, his disciples, or other biblical prophets travel outside to Asia, the Americans, or central/southern Africa and interact with other cultures (or vice versa)?

- Since Neither Jesus nor anyone in the Bible spoke English, and certain letters and words used today didn’t exist then or when the Bible was first canonized by the Catholic Church 1600 years ago, how much of the Bible’s original context and meaning was ‘lost in translation’ from Aramaic to English in the last 4,000 years ?

-Why are certain themes within Christianity so similar to other ancient religions which predate Christianity by thousands of years ?

Bottom line: Have your own personal relationship with GOD, not with a book or religion.
