But I noticed problems with spirituality in turn. As bad as the problems with literalism.
At one time for instance, some spiritual Christians did not help the poor with physical welfare, on the theory that Christians don't have to give anything but spiritual help. (James 2.14-26).
Seeing many problems with spirituality - .including warnings about "false spirits" - I looked more into the Bible. And came to the surprising conclusion that it finally rejected spirituality as "delusion" and "dreams." In favor not so much literalism. As ending in favor of science. Over spirituality.
What do you make of the parts of the Bible advocating science? Those show that the Bible finally asks to be judged by physical, material outcomes.
Yes, my findings are unconventional. But I think they are correct. If you can disprove my biblical quotes above, you would prove your spiritual reading is allowable. But you need then, to address my quotes above.
The same way I addressed your interest in LeMaitre.
So what about say Dan. 1-4-15 KJE? Which advocates experimental method, as a way of finding which religion is true?
