The OP has very specific questions. The originator seems to be seeking genuine answers on how one can know Jesus.

​

This thread is not about whether one can know Jesus or not and not about whether the Bible is the word of God or not.

​

Please stop the rather rude personal comments. They may or may not have been done as humor, but they need to stop.

I will stop here to see maddening behavior this digs up.

Here it is.I promoted your thread because I thought you actually wanted serious spiritual answers to the questions you asked.
I did not see this as a setup to take pot shots at believers.Per the rules: Avoid any form of misrepresentation.I feel that your opening post was misleading and did not make your real discussion intent clear.Per the rules: Always treat other members with respect. Argue the position, not the person. Avoid abusive, harassing and invasive behavior. Avoid needling, hectoring and goading tactics.Writing with the intent to inflame is unacceptable on this board.

Then you should know better than to use questionable comments in mixed company.Examples:
...rather than jump down my throat and tug on my scrotum...
I wish I had more time to dick around on the net.
I Know I have great flicks, no shit
I GOTTA PEE!You also need to practice quoting and linking. If you are going to respond to various people in one thread, you need to make it clear who the quote is from (linking to the post is also nice) and who you are talking to with your replies.If I really really misread your OP and missed the purpose in the questions you asked aside from the obvious, please show me the error of my ways in the moderation link below.If I feel that your OP does not adequately reveal your intent for this discussion, I will close this thread.Please direct any comments concerning this Admin msg to the Moderation Thread.
