Mere men cannot do this.

The Bible is not a human invention; it’s designed by the Divine.

One of the best way to study Scripture is to start by understanding it’s one seamless story.

Trust the Word. Trust the Author.

All Scripture is God-Breathed

All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for showing people what is wrong in their lives, for correcting faults, and for teaching how to live right. Using the Scriptures, the person who serves God will be capable, having all that is needed to do every good work. — 2 Timothy 3:16-17 | New Century Version (NCV) The Holy Bible, New Century Version®.

My Dad Takes Rainy Days Off

My dad has an important job. This means he’s gone a lot and for a long time

but when the sky turns grey and the rain drops, I get to spend the whole day with him!

“Why don’t you work on rainy days?” I ask.

“The same reason your mom doesn’t work on Sunday” He laughs. “ I still go to work, but it gets so slow, I can leave early.”

We stay inside and play lots of games with Mama, like tag and hide and go seek.

While we play he tells me stories, like when he liked someone and they played tag or when my uncle hid his things but apologized by making him a gift.

He would also ask about me and my mama, though he says he always sees us when he drives for work.

Mama would also talk to him, and he talks to Mama.

Always “I love you” “You're my sunshine” and how much I look like my dad.

“Mama told me to ask you if I can have a sibling.” I said.

“ You have alot of siblings but they live far away…” He told me some live in a town where my grandpa’s brother is mayor, and that they didn’t like to leave.

“Your brother went there and left but there someone he loved who live there so he moved there.”

“When can I go?” I wanted to see my big brothers and sisters. But he told me I was too small.

Near the end he would sing us songs, play the guitar and dance with us too.

“Apollo,” Mama says, “The rains slowing down,”

That's when we go outside, the drips and drops get slower.

“I have to go kiddo” Dad would always say, always a little sad.

I would always say “Bye dad.”

He kisses my mom goodbye and gives me a big hug.

“I’ll be back next time, play games, and sing you songs.”

When I turn around he’s gone.

Then the sun shines brighter through the clouds than any other day.

I get really sad but then i remember that my dad takes rainy days off.

Did you know that there are divinely inspired gospels that were voted out of the Christian canon when the church was voting on which gospels to canonize as a Bible?

The Gospel of Judas is one of those gospels.

Click the link above to read a translation of the gospel.

Note: Some parts of the gospel were too degraded for anyone to read, so the missing bits have an ellipses in square brackets to symbolize the missing bits.

Here is another translations of the text.

Some Interesting Bits of the Gospel of Judas

Jesus says no one, including the Apostles, knows who he truly is.

Jesus refers to the Abrahamic god when talking to his disciples as “your god”, insinuating their god is not his god (which becomes more explicit later).

Jesus says that the Apostles are leading people astray and dooming them.

Jesus says that the Abrahamic god is NOT the most powerful god; that he is in fact an {evil?) angel named The Fool who revels in the spilling of blood (which is why he demands blood sacrifices). (Though he did in his foolishness create Adam.)

Jesus is the Abrahamic god’s nemesis, not his son.

Jesus says Judas will rule over the thirteenth angelic realm, meaning he either is rewarded for his sacrifice or punished the most severely out of all the Apostles. (It’s unclear, though I’m personally leaning toward rewarded).
