I have an Idea for a new Christian Branch.

My 200 hours of study in ancient near eastern literature says its a history of the beginning of the Israelite nation, but written in the form of an apocryphon.

It has some merit as an allegory, though, too. That's a legal use of ANE literature. It's just not the original intent.

It may or may not be the original intent. The problem is that we just truly do not know as it was written so long ago and written by at least 4 different sources which like to contradict each other. So I use it as more as an allegory.

First 4 yes, last one I have a different interpretation.

What I mean is, was there ever a time in your life when you
heard the message about God's Grace towards mankind, and
subsequently, placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Savior?

 

[James Shepard]

And the Bible, somewhat

Are you going to Heaven once you leave this mortal coil?

It is not my decision to make. I feel I am close with God, but do i know if I am going to Heaven? No.
