I’m a woman. But I don’t believe that kind actions should mask the utter hypocrisies that him and his apostles and the entire bible preaches.
What hypocrisies?
I can’t ever know who the real Jesus was, I just have the words of men.
How could anyone in their right mind come to that conclusion? Out of the mouth of Jesus we have the promise that all one needs to do to prove whether the Bible are the made-up words of men, or whether they be from God, is to
DO GOD'S WILL, which begins with keeping and enforcing The Law that God gave us to protect us from all of the evil in this world.
John 7:16-17
7:16 Jesus answered them, and said,
My doctrine is not mine, but His that sent me.
7:17
If any man will do His will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or [whether] I speak of myself.
Men who had their own agendas and political motivations for writing what they wrote. Also the bible was written over a long period of time. It is little more than a book of fairy tales for me. Why should it be anything else?
"Political agendas"? "Fairy tales"? You must be joking.
Over two-thirds of the Bible is
PROPHECY, over 99% of which has already been fulfilled in exact and minute detail. Only a complete fool would look at that track record and assume it's a fairy tale, and/or that the remaining <!% of the prophecies won't likewise be fulfilled in exact and minute detail.
surely the creator of the entire universe wouldn’t be so petty to care about whether people worshiped him or not, or how they decided to live their lives?
The Creator and King Ruler of the Universe doesn't need anything. What you seem to be missing is our Creator is
TRUTH, which is what everyone should worship above
ALL else. THAT is the First, and therefore the most important,
COMMANDment (
Mark 12:29-31).
The Second Great Commandment is to love our neighbor as much or more than ourselves.
IF everyone was following these two very simple
COMMANDments, given to us for our own individual and collective benefit, then the world would immediately heal itself of all poverty, crime, injustice and oppression, and we would enter a new era of freedom and justice, peace and prosperity, under the safety and security that only God can provide.
Instead, virtually the entire world is determined to do things their own, selfish and evil way (led by Lucifer/Satan/Iblis) instead of God's Way, which has created the mess we have today, where people have made idols/gods out of every man-made institution, e.g. governments, organized religions, witch doctors/pharmaceuticals, the "legal" system, and the rest of the corporate fictions (lies), etc.
Why? In a word --
EGO -- which is why people arrogantly and ignorantly believe they know better than God, instead of doing things His Way, so they can actually get to
KNOW Him (our heavenly Father and Creator, aka "God"). And it is our individual and collective arrogance/ignorance that now has the majority of the population willingly being poisoned to death and hurtling toward WW3, even though we've been repeatedly warned about these exact things in the book your ego (Satan rally) has conned you into believing is a "fairy tale".
It just doesn’t add up at all.
And it never will to a human, who sees everything upside down and backwards, through human eyes. Humans only look out for "#1", spending their entire life devoted to seeking whatever serves them and their selfish interest (everyone else be damned), e.g. creature comforts, material wealth and possessions, etc., which everyone admits they cannot keep (nor need) beyond the grave. Totally insane.
A spiritual-Being learns to
overcome and control the human it lives inside of, so it can be made to do God's Will, which is to
ALWAYS seek the
TRUTH and to do what is best for the common, greater good. A spiritual-Being also knows it does
NOT have a gender, and that it has been placed inside of a specific human animal body to learn exactly what it needs to learn, to advance toward the goal. The stronger and more capable the human body, the more difficult it is to control, providing ever more challenging lessons and tests for the spiritual-Being within.

A supreme being would be so far beyond any of our capability of understanding that we would never be able to interpret its ‘plan’.
Actually, the exact opposite is true, i.e. you're looking at this through human eyes (the ego) again.
The plan is very simple, and it is explained on the very first page of the Bible, in the very first chapter. We are here to
LEARN HOW TO BE GOOD, LIKE GOD (
Gen. 1:26). The definition of what is right and good vs. what is wrong and evil, is then defined in detail in the rest of The Law, found only in the first five books of the Bible; namely:
Genesis,
Exodus,
Leviticus,
Numbers and
Deuteronomy.
IF one reads, studies and most importantly applies The Law in their daily lives, they will begin to see the truth and beauty of the Mind that created it, and thus get to
KNOW our Creator, exactly as we -- as spiritual-Beings -- should (
John 4:23-24).
John 17:3
And THIS is Life Eternal, that they might KNOW Thee the ONLY True God, and Christ the Saviour, whom Thou hast sent.
The bible makes wild, unfounded claims based on nothing more than the words of humans. I won’t find God in that.
That's your human ego talking, which will never find the invisible (to the human eye) God, because it is incapable of doing so. Only the Being part of the human+Being can get to
KNOW God, through careful study and application of the Bible (The Law and Old Covenant and the Gospel and New Covenant) which is the only way to spiritually awaken to the world that surrounds us with additional evidence and reminders of our Creator.
Arrogance and ignorance belong to Lucifer/Satan/Iblis, who controls the human through the ego.
Humility and true wisdom belong to Father (the One True God, the "I AM").
Everyone who wants to survive Judgment Day (which is a certainty)
MUST learn the difference between the two.
