I hear ya. I've always read it for myself, and then would try to integrate what is taught through pastors or books or "you name it", into what I was getting from the Bible on my own.
I don't like the title "Christian" for myself at all anymore. I dropped that label several years ago. It's too associated with Pauline doctrine, and how hypocritical a lot of it is.
Jesus was different. Not just that...but something profound (total understatement, actually) happened to me when I made a simple request to know "Him"...a long time ago.
Anyway, thanks for your response, Cooperton.

In Christendom... jesus was a spook... and a darn good one. He was genius.
So much so that he spooked me with a powerful spell. So strong that I had to fight it to break free. I fought it... but it wasnt easy.
I've been a very lusting person all my life. It was my only joy. To him it was a sickness.
I've lusted, masturbated, and fornicated countless times. From the age 5 til now.
One day I watched Catholicism on tv. Holy mass. Sunday morning.
Psst... wth was that for!?! He cured me. Unsuspectingly.
It took me eight days to figure it out.
I spent 54 days not lusting. No fornicating. Resisting. Effortlessly. No masturbating. No erections. Not even thoguht or images in my mind. It drove me insane. I like being a godless heathen. So I fought to break it. That spell was strong.
Now im free. And I will never ever f# with JC again. He's a SPOOK!

According to my personal understandings,.... YHWH is a "Son of El", while Asherah is the consort of El.
Father: El
Mother: Asherah
Son: YHWH
GOD IS SUPERMAN?! KAL-EL?
The creators of Superman were Jewish, which may explain the Semitic-like name of Kal-El. In Hebrew, many things associated with God are suffixed with "El", such as Israel (Struggle with God), Gabriel (God is my Strength), Peniel (Face of God), and Ariel (Lion of God).
It is speculated that Kal-El means "Voice of God"
Also Kal-El means.. House of El in superman terms father jor-el.
Could also mean, house of God.
In Hebrew, Bethel (Beit-El) means "House of God (El)".
Kal-El is more like saying,.... Kal of the House of El

The research done for this movie shown in this clip is accurate.
Read a Latin bible or an English bible or a Hebrew bible, they are different in all three languages but the point is the same.
If you want to pray to God you need to use his name or you will be ignored, it would be like me screaming "hey dude", with 5000 fans below me at a sports game.
Another interesting point is that many names of false gods are mentioned in the bible, if God is the author of the bible why would he include names of false god's but not his own.
Thankfully some bibles are now restoring the name where it was removed.
THE DIVINE NAME KJV
John 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Colossians 4:2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;
