| Most of us are taught that Greek mythology and | | | | question your own. |
| gods like Zeus, Hades and Aphrodite are | | | | Think about this for a moment, there are things in |
| make-believe or fables in history. I don't know of | | | | the Bible that can't be proven to be true or |
| many people today who believe and Mount Olympus | | | | scientifically factual. As a matter of fact there are |
| or the god Zeus but I do know and run into people | | | | things in most religious text that this statement |
| on a daily basis who believe in Jesus, God, Jehovah, | | | | applies to. Biblical scholars have spent centuries trying |
| Krishna and other gods who seem to be different | | | | to back up the information in the Bible, like those |
| than the older gods like Zeus. Somehow these gods | | | | from other religions. |
| are more realistic to modern-day believers. | | | | Often their conclusions lead these scholars to form |
| As time seemed to pass, the god Zeus fell by the | | | | their own interpretations of text that is easy to read |
| wayside and became part of history. The Jewish God | | | | and understand but they seem to change it to fit |
| Jehovah, Christian God Jesus and the Islamic God | | | | their needs. They seem to use other parts of the |
| Allah have seemed to gain more power and a | | | | Bible to make some sense out of those that don't |
| stronger following during modern times. How is it that | | | | make any. Now here's the problem I have with |
| some religious fables of the past have disappeared, | | | | modern-day religious beliefs, are they like Greek |
| while others are gaining more power. | | | | mythology or are they actually true. |
| Jesus said Matthew 7:8 "For everyone who asks | | | | Can statements be proven, like how the world was |
| receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who | | | | created, the great flood, the end of times, Jesus as |
| knocks it will be opened. This applies to modern day | | | | the Messiah, Mohammed writing factual information |
| education also, seek the truth and you will find it, ask | | | | on future events, or is this stuff going to be religious |
| for the answers and soon you will receive them. This | | | | fables in the future like the old mythology. Only to be |
| doesn't necessarily mean that you should only study | | | | stories we will be telling our children and students in |
| the Hebrew Bible. Immerse yourself in religious text | | | | school to show them how ignorant people can really |
| from other religions and soon you just might start to | | | | be in the future. |
