When You First Start Out In Protestantism

When you first start out in Protestantism and you don't assume that the Spirit is completely with you and tells you everything without error, unlike the 999 other Protestant forms of religion that just aren't as holy as you, or aren't as conservative as you, or haven't read the Bible as many times as you, or don't take it is as much context as you, and aren't as mature enough as you, or aren't as intelligent and as knowledgeable as you, or as any other characteristic possible that you would possess many times over than all the other 199 million, 999 thousand, 999 Protestant Bible alone people, even conservative one, if you had in fact assumed that the Holy Spirit infallibly guided you, else that Scripture is self evident, like the other 999 forms of Protestantism that say that Scripture is absolutely self evident, but not evident enough to prevent 999 forms of self-evident religion from being at least practically mutually conflicting, 

you live at the library

in fear

and with every new snippet of books, you read, it gets scarier

you never think

if you get it sorted out

how you gonna carry it to humanity

cuz i mean ,who are you?

are you going to go on the six o clock news and tell them you have solved all religious mysteries?

i mean it is like

you study for ten years, and you finally solved the mystery of it

all

now, go out and sow

first of all, you have no church

you have to get sheep

and build a building

ok, you do that from the street corner. After three months, each day being wicked laughter of just ignoring you, you have ten people.

And you rent a room at the old office building, unfurnished, on limited budget.

you go out and preach: We are the true church

people at work say

what about the baptist church down the street

actually, you find there are three baptist churches

southern

missouri court

and free will

you gonna have to convert them first

then go to the other 40 different churches in the city

actually, let me give hint

you gonna have to bring books and shit to talk to them

might go on for weeks

that is one church

go to the other city

there are ten more other kinds of churches

and it took you ten years to solve all mysteries

so it'll take them ten too

unless they not interested

cuz maybe they already content

hard work

and you already fifty years old

oh, and unless you took time off from your construction job to study the bible at divinity school full-time with no income and only debt for four years [God will provide], there are bible scholars

they have read bible 23 more times than you

and they know Greek and Hebrew

which you inconveniently don't know [which are also the original languages of Scripture, oh and by the way, those little snippet lessons in Hebrew and Greek you got from the televangelist on TV, well, when you argue that stuff with these Bible scholars, they will be quick to point out that you are like a General Math student trying to understand the Divergence Theorem of the Advanced Calculus ]

and they know much more about history and ancient culture

and out of 100 of them, no two of them fully agree on all these things, and they have been studying these things for over 30 years [hint, that is more than 10 years of leafing through excerpts of Bible studies]

and many are conservative

so you cannot say they are all liberal

oh, and of these 100, none of em fully agree with you either

and you gonna covert all of them
