Which translation did you read?
How do you square being uncomfortable with much of what you read with having more faith at the end?
NASB2020.
That's a tricky question to answer. It's definitely not all bad. And I'm super skeptical of bias in translation. There is so much interconnectedness to the Bible and much can be learned from the Bible and applied to modern day happenings. Being that I read the work chronologically (down to the verse) I would jump between different books, written by different people across time, writing the same or similar things strengthened my conviction that events likely actually happened as documented. When read through the eyes of someone knowledgeable of pole shift and the growing field of study that has become, I see documented evidence of what I've been learning. It is veiled to some degree, which I'm suspicious of being translation error (intentional or otherwise) or possible limits of language complexity, IDK.
Do I have a bias looking for pole shift evidence? Absolutely. But being able to tie modern scientific study to teachings within the most shared, copied, read, and translated work in human history (that we know of) isn't by accident. What I think is happening and what I think is going to happen is more than a passing mention in the most popular faith works of the past millennia.
I've always had this mental tug of war between science and faith, but they aren't competing. They're complimentary. Going through this study helped clarify that.
