What is it that man has received since he first believed in God? What have you known about God? How much have you changed because of your belief in God?

Break the Spell" (4) - Is Faith in the Bible Equivalent to Faith in the Lord
Most pastors and elders of the religious world believe that the Bible represents the Lord, and that believing in the Lord is believing in the Bible, and believing in the Bible is believing in the Lord.

God Will Restore the Meaning of His Creation of Man
I
God created humanity, placed them on the earth and led them to the present day. He served as a sin offering and through this He saved man. In the end He still must conquer, restore man to his original state. Since the beginning this is the work that He has engaged in. He will establish His kingdom, restore His authority upon the earth as well as man's state. He will restore His authority among all He created.
Let's look back on mankind during the age of Noah. Man was engaged in all kinds of evil activities paying no thought to repentance. Nobody listened to the word of God. Their rigidity and evil aroused God's anger and in the end, they were swallowed up by the disaster of the great flood. Only Noah and his family of eight listened to God's word and were able to survive. Now, the last days have already arrived. Mankind's corruption is getting deeper and deeper. Everyone reveres evil. The entire religious world follows the tide of the world. They do not love the truth one bit.
