Hello dear friends,
I recently discovered videos on youtube by Bill Donahue and was pleasantly surprised. I do not know who he is and about his background. But it seems he has done a lot of work investigating the true teachings of Jesus. I also got impression that his knowledge is based on practical experience as well. He has videos on other spiritual traditions as well. However, the focus is on Christianity.
Here is the link to one of the videos about prayer. But you can just search for "Bill Donahue" to find his vids.
https://youtu.be/QTgacw-KijY?si=pRqJDJLG664RSWM5I've watched only a few videos so far. The key take aways were the following:
-The official church has corrupted the teachings
-God is not a person but a being of Light
-People do not get results from prayer because their way of prayer is nothing more than internal chatter
-Best prayer is meditation. Bible examples - Jesus teaching to "take no thought" when prayer and "kingdom of God is within you"
He also has a lot of interesting insights about symbology in the Bible. Highly recommene watching to anyone interested in Christianity beyond the mainstream dogma.
