Does the book change your religeous beliefs?
NOTICE: The author of this book was invited to participate in the discussion in this forum about his book. You should expect that the author is reading and may reply to posts made in this forum.
While the forums typically have a rule against authors/publishers talking about their own book on the forums at all as a way to prevent spam, an author discussing their own book in the dedicated discussion forum about that book is an exception and is allowed, including posting would-be self-promotional links to his book or related material insofar as is relevant to the discussion.
However, other forum rules and standards, such as those requiring upmost civility and politeness, are of course still in effect.

Income would be nice. So far I am about %50,000 in the hole. - the Authoraacodreanu wrote: ↑11 Jul 2019, 13:25 Books are nice and they are a pass time, also a source of income for some. However, religion is too important, at least to me, to even consider that any book might change it.

I don't see faith in any writing. I see it as a reaction to that writing. You have faith or you don't in something.MirageP wrote: ↑15 Jun 2019, 12:05I'm sorry, I did not mean to be dismissive about your book. In fact, I'm a Hindu, not Christian. I've read a few books that question the behaviour/values/acts of (Hindu) God's avatars on earth, and I was not swayed by any of them. Although I'm aware that Hinduism and Christianity differ in fundamentals like chalk from cheese, I believe faith itself is inherently unshakeable, whether in the Bible or the Ramayan.I was a Christian in 1974. Then In 1975, I saw this book. http://www.scienceofthesoul.org/product_p/en-036-0.htm
It changed the course of my life forever. So one book can change one's long-held convictions. If you are a Christian, didn't the Bible change yours? I don't see why anyone thinks the Bible is unique.

The "facts" states here are unreliable and untested as well.

HA. Funny you should mention Peter's "denials." Never happened! They were Jesus's denials. Read the first paragraph of the Apocalypse of Peter. No way did Peter say he didn't know Jesus. The original was about being denied inner vision in meditation. It will not be seen as possible for this to work the other way around. The GNOSTIC story is the one that came first. This shows that the canon is false all by itself. A wonder no scholar ever noticed.
