When I got saved, the only revelation that I firmly feel was real was the fact that God was alive, personal, and supportive of me. Nowhere did I ever get any revelations that said that the Bible was literally true as interpreted by the Pastor and churches of like persuasion.
To this day, I believe that God is real, alive, loving, and supportive. I believe that He is not concerned with literal scriptural interpretation so much as He is with the condition of our heart and soul.
Am I missing some anointing, here?

"The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking; he can ruin himself with gambling. If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog." -GK Chesterson
