    Thou taketh my life, but I shall take thine too
    Thou fire thine crossbow, but I shall run thou through
    So when thou art waiting for the next attack
    Thou had better stand, there is no turning back
    The horn sounds, the charge begins
    But on this battlefield, no one wins
    The smell of acrid smoke and horse's breath
    As I plungeth on into certain death

      The Bible is truth.
      To understand this you must do the inner work Jesus Christ taught. It all starts with forgiveness from the heart. Start by finding the grievances we all build up with our parents. They have generally raised fed loved us to some degree. Looking inside, realizing that they are people who make mistakes too, and genuinely forgiving them everything shows an important aspect of your soul to God. Genuinely mean absolute forgiveness inside your heart. This is key. To be forgiven we must forgive. This step teaches you why Jesus Christ is lord, and why you need to break down to him and ask for forgiveness. Afterwards read Genesis, Mathew, and one book of the Bible you chose yourself. These four steps have important spiritual significance and are like milestones within our souls.
      Please trust me.
      Genuinely open your heart up to God. It is all true.
      Jesus Christ is the way truth and life. 😊
