I believe in our Lord and Creator Jesus Christ. And I think Bible (including Apocrypha) are more literal than normally considered. The trinity of Son, Father and Holy Spirit which are temporary apostasies of same perfect entity. Our world was created by God, who was then omniscient but not omnipotent, limited to laws of our world. The most powerful, but not all powerful. Thus he had to build up a tree of life from ground up, ensuring his own existence. Some beings created to outsource labor rebelled and compete with him for his throne at the end of times. We all live 1 life on "Earth" (present) then we get resurrected like Jesus in "Heavenly Kingdon" (future) and get judged according to law of Kingdom of Heaven (nation). Once God has succeeded in nurturing Tree of Life from Adam through Moses to Jesus and securing him at his side in Heaven, the rebels lost and we are now in their cope & seethe phase when they try to do as much damage as they can and turn as much humans away from God and Kingdom of Heaven as possible. Those are my beliefs based on like 5 books that I've read and liked a lot. I might not be a good Christian, but I accept and respect the sacrifice of Jesus allowing me to live relatively problem-free in this world, and securing my place in Heaven as long as I accept his authority and sacrifice. Phase connect.
