kBOY – I took a very similar journey, and it is very true that if you research both the Old and New Testaments you will find many discrepancies, especially in translations. If you are after the perfect doctrine, I think you may end up in confusion. If you really want to know Him, I think you will find that there is enough intact of Jesus’ words to find your way to Him - if you are willing to actually do what He said, not just study it. Jesus said, ”You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life.” We all have the Prodigal Son in us, and until we reach the end of ourselves, we don’t really understand how much we need Him and how good He really is. I would have titled it “The Good Father” instead. He doesn’t love us because we are good, He loves us because He is good. He will always run to meet us when we come to our senses and come home.
