As a former catholic who went to catholic schools for 12 years, served as an alter boy, I learned precious little about true religion. All that pomp and circumstance became irrelevant overnight when I joined the military at 17. For years thereafter, I sought religion in various churches which were always filled with pew-potatoes, led by one-verse-charlie pastors, spoon feeding the congregation milk and talking about traditions of men. My appetite for religion could only be satisfied by raw red meat, figuratively speaking. And one-day I finally stumbled on the teacher - online of all places. Hosted by it's founder, Arnold Murray, a no-nonsense, former combat marine, Shepherd's Chapel teaches the Bible line by line, verse by verse, chapter by chapter, book by book. To say I was floored by what I learned the Bible REALLY said, would not be an understatement! Beginning with what happened in the Garden of Eden. Forget about Adam and Eve eating an apple! The bible doesn't even say anything about an apple as I'd been taught. Pastor Murray, when necessary, goes back to the original text in Hebrew, Greek or Aramaic to explain exactly what each line of the text really says. It's nothing like what I'd ever been taught - anywhere. I know that Murray has his detractors on line but that's to be expected in this age. Also it's very satisfying to learn all about Biblical prophecy including what Christ told the apostles, when they asked him when he would return. Knowing that we're now in the final generation, the Generation of the Fig Tree, let's me better understand world events as they come to pass daily. To me, true religion is knowing and understanding the letter God has written to each one of us, the Bible.
