Umm not necessarily true. I've found at least some of the things written to be genuinely true. But the other things that I don't know must still be taken errr with faith.
Things like the face of God which shines(and shining was an understatement as it was more like exploding with light), and that the dead not being able to remember anything including God and unable to register the passage of time either. Things like more than one author in diffrent span of time writing about the exactly the same thing . . .that later I found to be true.
One of the things I got it wrong was that I thought God was always meek and loving and it seems that God is more like strict and loving. I didn't know that people couldn't stare at God's face so I did when I had the chance while I was a kid years ago (and I thought it was just Christ and I wanted to see Jesus face I really do, the real one) ...my repeated attempt and stubbornness was met with both my eyeballs being made hurt in the end. Kinda arrogant wasn't He . . . .LOL
As I get older I hold more respect to the bible.
But then again perhaps God is not for everyone.
I just feel lucky enough to know certain things, things that made me knew that God is real. It has helped a lot in life but even with knowledge things must still be taken with faith too as no one can know God like knowing another person. If made a metaphor knowing God in this life is like touching but not seeing, like hearing but not seeing, and like seeing but not hearing and touching.
