as one purifies a precious metal so that the ingot becomes homogeneous. We are sinful from the beginning. Perhaps God intended for us to be tested by this sinful life, to be purified by our efforts to overcome sin and to be honored as one with God's world in Paradise. God is unreachably great, and when I write about a whole, I mean a world where all are reunited through the Holy Spirit, where all are equal. This is the next eternal life after the resurrection.

Holiness is one for all. We human beings are infinitely insignificant before God and even before the saints, but this does not prevent us from entering the Kingdom of God. That is, to become one with the infinitely great. This shows that everyone should try, and he will be rewarded according to his efforts and endeavors, compared to his opportunities and difficulties.

And our real life is the litmus test of whether we become part of the whole or go to the trash.

The Scriptures

The Scriptures are unquestionable. Let us think about it. There is a God — it is an axiom, an obvious and logically provable fact. The truth is in Him alone. This is where all reasoning and guidance to the true path begins.

The knowledge of the Creator is embedded in everyone from birth. So are the Bible and the Qur'an really the Word of God? Are the laws of the Scriptures true? We would not have such questions if something from the Lord had appeared to us and confirmed the answers to them clearly and visibly. That's what almost everybody thinks. But would it truly help? Hardly. The reason for this has already been discussed above, in the chapter "The CLEAR SIGN".

Let us start with what we have. And today we have the most authoritative and unique scriptures, from very distant times, which we have no right to question. All that is in our power is to reason logically and believe or disbelieve, for there is no direct evidence in our hands in our day, nor will there be; there are no alternative more authoritative texts for them to prove or disprove anything.

For example, the New Testament of the Bible was written almost two thousand years ago, and the Old Testament began to be written more than three and a half thousand years ago. This means that the Bible as a whole was created over a period of about 1600 years (from the 15th century B.C. to the 2nd century A.D.), and it is all connected and consistent.

It is strange that 2000 years after the Bible was written, people all over the world have not changed their ideas about God and the world order. How could these people know everything and know it in such detail, touching every aspect of life that exists, describing, structuring, and creating a set of rules with specific historical examples that are duplicated in both the Bible and the Qur'an? These rules are relevant at all times, there is nothing in them that contradicts common sense. How is it that 2000 years after the creation of the Bible and 1400 years after the creation of the Qur'an, nothing similar to these Holy Books has been created? There is no doubt — what is written in them must be believed.

We can also assume that the Bible has been rewritten many times by unscrupulous people who have changed the text or the meaning of the Scriptures, maybe by not all of them, but some specific ones, but maybe not. But the same can be said of the Qur'an because there is no 100 % proof of the original version. After all, 1400 years have passed. We are not going to get direct proofs in our time, too many possible variants of events could occur over such a long period of time. We have to start with what is indisputable — the recognition of a single God: both in the Bible and in the Qur'an. This is the foundation of truth. This truth can be understood and proven even by our earthly mind and logic. Everything in these Holy Books is based on it.

And how would the Lord allow unscrupulous sinners to change the text of His Word or make another book more famous and authoritative? It is obvious to a believer that such a thing cannot happen.

I'll say more. There is no point in seeking answers to questions about the authenticity of these Books, for there is no argument for not believing in the truth of Scripture since there is no more popular, perfect, orderly alternative with the same concept — of One Creator, the Lord God. As you can see, based on the logic we applied earlier in the book, if there is no clear evidence that something is not true, it would be more advantageous and less risky to believe it.

As it is said, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear." This means that to whom it is given will hear the truth and the essence. A righteous person will understand everything as soon as he begins to read the sacred texts; such a person is given to "hear".

In many ways, the Bible and the Qur'an are almost word-for-word, conveying meanings and historical events that complement each other harmoniously and do not contradict each other in the essence of the laws. We discussed this earlier in this book.

Many people doubt whether they should study the Holy Scriptures, or whether they should believe in their own truth. Why do you believe your mentors, teachers, preachers, priests, and other authority figures? Why do you go to them for advice, why do you listen to everything they say, why do you dance to their tune?

Just remember that you are listening to the word of ordinary people and there is the Word of God. What could be more authoritative?

Everything that
