Hi Senior,
In a sense, I suppose you can look at God's Word in that way -- the Operating System of Life, guiding us, pointing us in the right direction, giving us the support and resources we need to be the best we can be.
But, I would compare it to a combined Operating System and AntiVirus/Internet Security System. It not only is in control of everything we do -- it also protects us from being infected with the False Teacher Virus, it has the Family Protection Option, it prevents Identity Theft, and it stops the cults from planting their infectious Cookies of Destruction within us.
My Friend, thank you for that right on analogy. Have you checked to see if you have downloaded all of your Operating System Updates lately. After all, you do not want to be running on DOS when you should be running on Windows 10 WOG (Word of God).
And, it seems that you have not downloaded your WOG Antivirus/Internet Security cult/false religion updates in a long time. You DO know it is very dangerous to be running on an outdated system -- don't you?
So, my Friend, why not stop right now, listen at the door of your heart where He is knocking (Rev 3:20) -- open that door and start getting the latest updates and downloads -- while there is still time.
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill
