Re: I'm on Jar duty - to guide Guido

Therefore I think it's best for a believer to put their full trust in Christ rather than the bible.
that's an oxymoron!
Jesus is described only in the Bible. You can't have one without the other.

The Madness

Almost everything in Christianity is counter-intuitive.
yup!
nemesis_juggernaut writes:
Christ obviously wanted it that way.
Yes, Jesus wanted his word to be confusing.
nemesis_juggernaut writes:
In that way He confounds the wise and gives knowledge to those whose faith is like that of a little child-- unceasing, unfettered, and a pure faith.
Yes, Jesus only wanted unquestioning idiots to follow him.
nemesis_juggernaut writes:
Just as well, it seems counter-intuitive that one must first believe, then they will be shown the truth, rather than shown evidence then believe.
ofcourse, why do things the normal way when it comes to such an important thing as our salvation? let's do things backwards instead!
nemesis_juggernaut writes:
This would be the natural course of things, but God goes beyond this.
Yes, God ignores the natural course of things that he setup in the first place (what was he thinking?) and still enforces in every other aspect of our lives and takes it One Step Beyond, as The Madness once said.
