I am of the opinion that Jesus was perhaps really god. There may be truth in Christianity. But the Bible is full of so many contradictions and mistakes that it puts me off. How can I become a Christian when the Bible is so full of imperfections?
The essence of the Bible, the real guts if you like, is universal brotherhood. To consider all humanity as one family and love all.
There is no contradiction in the spiritual or altruistic texts of the Bible. It teaches us to love our neighbour, to be sacrificing and generous, to be just and of good character.
The Bible is like a mine full of the most exquisite gems such as forgiveness, compassion, generosity and goodness. Just read the beatitudes. These beautiful truths teach only goodness and promote only the noblest of virtues.
I personally consider myself blest to read such glorious spiritual truths as are found in the Bible.
