But there is a lot that isn't.. Lord, help me take off my 'LR" glasses and understand the pure word. I'm learning that it's right to try to understand the bible. I don't have to just read it and accept it by pray reading and not use my mind.

Some of us have been physically out for years and are only now starting to consider what the Bible actually says versus what the RecV had told us it said. We wanted it to say something that it didn't, because someone else wanted that. They transferred their unmet needs onto us, that's the LR in a nutshell.
So take heart because you're probably far ahead of me in the race, relatively speaking.
