A response to critics (part 2)

8/26/2017

A complaint that I recently got is that I am “biased.” This is astonishing to me because essentially all I did was cite what is actually written in the Bible itself. All that I am doing is showing them the parts of the Bible that their pastors etc. are skipping over. If they are skipping over these parts, who then is really biased? It is impossible to take these criticisms seriously.

This has become an very interesting case in psychology. The real problem is not that I wrote anything that is not true, but rather that I wrote something that conflicts with the perspective that has been ingrained into their psyche since childhood. It is amazing to behold. My book does not conflict with the facts, it conflicts with their indoctrination. So far the reaction from the critics is “This is not what I learned in Sunday school!” Indeed, my book is for those who are ready for the next level.

Then there are the others who complain but when pressed on the issue they admit that they did not even finish reading the book or even read the book at all!

For example, look at this transcription of a conversation that appeared in the comments section of the video for the book: 


Tricky Tricky: After all this time, if we were to know more, God would have given it to us. (Poor Mormons, a case in point, all their distortions. Paul admonished us about those who have another gospel than the one he preached: Let them be accursed..)

Novoneiro: I can tell that you never even read the book. You should be embarrassed.

Tricky Tricky: O!


Shout out to "novoneiro" by the way.

Let's take a look at what an Amazon reviewer wrote about my book: 


I'm not good at writing reviews so all I can say is that this book is full of lies, blasphemy and scripture taken out of context. What you're reading is one man's opinion . Vondenburg is clearly very well educated and it shows in his writing but, there are falsehoods on every single page. I'm so glad I didn't pay money for it.


I would like now to respond to this: 

About the so-called "lies": If this person is accusing me of lying they would have to call the Bible a lie. This is because almost everything that I write about is taken directly from the Bible. 

About the "blasphemy": The findings are only blasphemous to people who do not understand the true mission of Jesus. My findings do not deny the greatness of the Christ whatsoever! I doubt that this person even read the entire book. This is the type of person who would have called for the execution of Jesus had they been alive when he was in Jerusalem. They cannot tell the difference between blasphemy and revelation. Their hearts and their minds have been hardened - just as Jesus warned.

About "taking things out of context": Everything in the Bible that I refer to is clearly cited.  I did this so that the reader would be able to refer back to their own Bible so that they could check the context for themselves. I am not asking anyone to take my word for it. It is also interesting that the person could not cite even one example of my taking something out of context.
