I'm disappointed to hear you say that...

"All scripture is breathed out by God..."

It is inspired, inerrant, and infallible. It carries the weight, meaning, and authority of its Author.

You can believe whatever you think is true, I am completely disenchanted from everything. I will believe that scripture is god when it actually protects us against evil in this world right here in which evil is being turned away from and not focused on every single day and being permitted by people who are to afraid to fight back.

Friend, Scripture does not promise protection from harm in this life and in this age. Its aim is higher, and everlasting. It promises that for those in Christ, death the last enemy has no power over them. As Christ was raised, we too shall be raised. And Christ promises ultimate victory, not necessarily immediate victory.

Think bigger, think eternally, and compare "the light and momentary afflictions of this age are not worthy to be compared with the eternal weight of glory that awaits us."

That's not to say there aren't provisional solutions for the here and now. But it should be enough--if you have faith--to prevent fear.

"God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind."
