I still look into this daily. Not a day goes by that I don't find myself wondering WTF! My research lately has me watching videos debunking the Mandela Effect. I’m willing to be convinced that it isn’t real – but mostly I end up annoyed because the unaffected just don’t get it. If I was unaffected, this video would make good sense, it would be affirming for me. The guy does a really good teaching for the unaffected . . . except that he concludes that if we are believers in the one, true God the Father of Jesus Christ we can’t believe the Bible has changed. Only one big problem with that – it HAS changed and he just tossed a bunch of believers to the curb.
In this video, the gentleman says that it doesn’t make sense for the lion (of Judah) a symbol of Christ the King (conqueror) to lie down with himself, the lamb of God slain as our Passover sacrifice. Why doesn’t it? It makes considerably more sense than the wolf (always the symbol of evil, falsity, division, destruction, death) lying with the lamb of God. The visual of the lion laying with the lamb is symbolic of the peace that will be established when all is accomplished. We don’t make peace with evil, we overcome it. Fear and love won’t lay side by side. Fear will be eradicated.
So I watched it til the end. Would God allow His word to be changed? How do I get around this and still believe the Mandela Effect is real? How do I take the Mandela Effect seriously and still believe in God the Father? Well, I believe that God is not doing the Mandela Effect. If God was doing it, it would be perfect, there would not be issues with people’s memories or residual evidence. Mandela Effect may change the Bible – but it doesn’t change God. Our relationship with Him is what is important – not ink and paper.
Okay, so a lot of God talk, eh? Perhaps you will indulge me since it is Sunday!
What if the words in the bible were never even the real gods words in the first place? or if it already had got changed a lot, since a lot can happen in 2000 + years.
My guess is that if the words in the bible were ever from a real God that is good, then he would never allow something like the mandela effect change his words, unless poor God has been kidnapped or something.
I guess it all depends on the view point of what God is. Is he a entity up in the sky that created all and rules over all life and death or is God more like a Creational energy with consciousness that creates worlds and lets them evolve at their own pace through trial and errors, worlds left to evolve on their own.
If it is that God or the Creation leaves worlds to evolve on their own with out interfering, then that can also make some sense in connection with going back to the theory of how the universe and the processes of everything in it may have been hijacked and how that would even be possible with God fitting into the picture.
Even with the idea of God being in the way, I don't think you would have much of a choice to not still think the mandela effect is real, even if God came down and told you ME wasn't real himself. it would be hard to deny yourself to the true reality of ME since your experiencing it. In this scenario you would not be able to believe Gods words with out having blind faith and ignoring what you experience.
The bible has been going through many ME changes recently but it has already been changed many times slowly through out history. In my opinion, teachings of Jesus has been altered way long ago. Jesus probably wasn't even his name for example. Only difference is the ME is changing things in an instant.
You said "Mandela Effect may change the Bible – but it doesn’t change God. Our relationship with Him is what is important – not ink and paper."
I'm with you on that, that book can change all it wants but it won't change my beliefs and feelings on the essence of what god is. I believe that having an idea or an understanding of a universal oneness, can bring a person closer to what ever the real essence of god really is. and I think treating others how we would like to be treated with not just in our actions but in our thoughts too, helps make an overall connection to that real essence of god instead of the fake one. And I doubt people out there should need a book to tell them what their heart already tells them. The God is within us and is everywhere if you focus on it.
God talks are okay I guess, it's just confusing to talk about since there's so many different concepts involving God. because as far as I'm concerned no one has talked to God before and had a conversation with him to see what's going on, or what I mean is no one has any proof that an entity that appeared to them was the real God or not. even if all the clues fit. The writers of the bible claim it. and NDE's claim it but it doesn't mean people can't be deceived during their divine Godly experiences.
When some people experience a paranormal event for the first time ever that can't be explained, they sometimes will automatically assume that it could only be from the one and only God. A unexplainable miracle can be performed right under someones nose and if they don't understand how or who caused it to happen, then they will assume God did it. It can even cause some to become religious even when they didn't believe in god before. A friend told me that his friend seen a apparition of a giant being appear to him in the sky and ever since that day became highly religious because he believed it was god showing himself to him. but entities out there trick people, so why automatically assume that.
Actually a similar event had also happened to me where one night I was thinking deeply and studying the nature of the earth and an interesting apparition also appeared to me in the sky on a clear night. It appeared to be a perfect gigantic image of Zeus holding a staff with lightning and everything and was pointing and the apparition was probably taller than 2 of the tallest buildings on earth put together. or at least that's how it looked. it was pretty clear. I don't know if it was zeus or not but it sure as hell looked like it but it could have been any entity for all I know.
For all I know it could have been some demon trying to scare me.
There should be no reason for me to assume the apparition is a demon or god with out actually knowing. who knows what the nature of it was. There wasn't any telepathic communication from it from what I remember and i had no fear by it.
It was just pointing in my direction with a staff in the other hand and an image of lightning coming from the hand pointing. had the beard and all. It was trippy to see an apparition that big, I've seen hundreds of smaller apparitions of entities through out the years but the size of this one looked as if it made Godzilla look small. although size wouldn't matter much anyways.
I guess the point I should be trying to make is that many other people also see apparitions of entities like that on a daily basis it's not all that amazing and unbelievable after a while and not all but some like to pretend they know whether the entity is good or bad especially when in communication with them and it is so easy to be deceived when living as a human and dealing with beings from other dimensions. It's too easy to be tricked.
Maybe I'm accidentally steering a little off topic with this seeing entities thing but I guess it's all connected. I guess i'm saying what appears to be God may not actually be God even if it fits the description and plays the role as God or a good alien race. I don't know, I'm tired and just speaking my mind right now and blabbing a lot and I hope I'm even making sense.. anyway I'll stop typing
