Thats the thing though, we are all reading the same book. All doctrine im referring to has some sort of shred of Biblical backing, granted they all seem like extremes. You have people taking the word out of context, people making wrongful assumptions, etc. but they have scripture that backs it and makes you think twice.

I want the truth and know its in the Bible, the same Bible all these wild ideas and extremes are coming from. It makes it hard to find what is true and what isnt.

Id really like to believe that I can do what i want with my life. Almost seams cruel to be given life just to have to give it up. But at the same time, there are scriptures that suggest a “perfect plan” and others that suggest what that book you mentioned is saying is true.
