Are you a Truth-lover of ever more Spiritual Enlightenment?

That's such a tough question, not the least because it has so many parts and I think I believe in them all so I have to pick one answer. Am I old fashion or don't most churches believe only a few will be saved and the heck with the rest, so they don't try to interface with the whole picture. Most prophecy I've read seems to imply that, if most people keep on the way they are going or the wrong way, then few will be saved, leaving an opening there with if. Further, I think the prophets didn't want to imply that you could just be lax and it will just happen. I you want to save the world, the churcey say it won't be saved. That seems very defeatist, to me, and worse emotionally, very saddening. It seems we can read anything in to the scriptures that we want to and get out of them what's in our hearts. I rather think the scriptures are written on a literal and many spiritual levels for whatever level the reader is on, making the Bible a living testament for all eternity with infinite implications. The spirit of it brings life and the literal death, as the literal is often specific happenings in the past and only applies for the specific cirstances, while the spiritual is to see how they fit into the personal and public lives of each one of us. We need the spirit to guide us in a real personal way that others may not understand so can't judge. When it says we can't even guide our own step, how can we guide everyone elses. I think it's the attempt of a preacher or denomination to impose their thinking on others and control them to which people balk. Maybe they wouldn't, if we were taught how to be free and happy from the truth, we would stay with them, but I tried so hard and the power just wasn't there. It works to a degree for some, but most seem to find more somewhere else and the churches must feel it's meant to be that way. Jesus and Mohamed both said that's not the way God wants it, and only a few can see and say that God will have his way. In that case, Frou frou is right on target, as the Bible was written for man, not for God, as the scriptures say that. The purpose for loving God with all our heart, soul and mind is because it free us from the control and teachings of man about the Bible. That is only commentary. I think that to really get the spirit of the Bible, you have to read it cover to cover with an inquiring mind and sincere heart, not here and there forever. That puts the rest in context.
