where would you say is a good place to start off reading the bible? im kind of overwhelmed by just how much there is and im not sure if i should just start off from the beginning or not
Hey there lil brother/sister in Christ! Welcome to the spiritual family, I'm so excited to have you!
The cornerstone of our faith is Jesus Christ... because without His life, burial, resurrection and promise to return again... we have nothing. That being said, the Gospels are the best place to start. If you don't know, the Gospels are New Testament books called Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. They tell the story of Jesus' life through the eyes of different disciples who followed him and tried to put his teachings into practice. I would say the book of John is where you should start; learn about how Jesus lived his life as our example in the flesh and learn about how much He loves you.
The Bible tells us to pray for the wisdom to understand, so it may be helpful to do this before beginning your studies!
"If any man lacks wisdom, let him ask it of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him."
James Chapter One, Verse Five
Please feel free to leave another ask or even DM me privately if you would like more thoughts, support or advice on your spiritual journey. I'm so excited for you!!!
do you have a worship playlist? :)
This is more or less my worship playlist. Not all the songs are worship songs per say but they're the tracks I listen to when I'm in God's presence just kinda hanging out with Him 🙃
Also have some Christian rock if you want it!
I wish I could find more people like you, in person and online!
Awwww thank you 😍
Can you explain more about Christian anarchy?
Would love to! I'll pull it straight from the Christian Anarchism Wikipedia Article:
"Christian Anarchism is a Christian movement in political theology that claims anarchism is inherent in Christianity and the Gospels. It is grounded in the belief that there is only one source of authority to which Christians are ultimately answerable—the authority of God as embodied in the teachings of Jesus. It therefore rejects the idea that human governments have ultimate authority over human societies. Christian anarchists denounce the state, believing it is violent, deceitful and idolatrous. Christian anarchists hold that the "Kingdom of God" is the proper expression of the relationship between God and humanity. Under the "Kingdom of God", human relationships would be characterized by horizontal organization, servant leadership, and universal compassion—not through the traditional structures of organized religion, which most Christian anarchists consider hierarchical and/or authoritarian structures. Most Christian anarchists are also pacifists who reject war, militarism, and the use of violence."
Here's the link if you want more information!
There's tons of evidence in the Bible that Jesus/God was/is a pacifistic anarchist... Could go on about it for hours.
