Knowing God

I'd agree with iano: you make the claim that there are many cults who "claim" to know jesus based off of their interpretation of the bible, but quite naturally, they're wrong (according to you).Here's a question--what if you're interpretation of the bible is wrong? It's just as likely as the cult's misinterpretation. You're , the basis for "knowing" jesus has no standing. The cult's can have an equally for knowing jesus.to the PTB:
I just stick to staying a human, "sinful" faults and all, and not worry about some guy in the sky. much, much less dilemmas in my world. as Jar put it, knowing jesus is a crock (though he said this for a different reason).

hey, I also agree with Jar's statement, that knowing jesus in this life is a crock. that doesn't mean that I agree with his reasons for making that statement.as a side note, do you know George Washington? How 'bout Abe Lincoln? If, as you say, the best way to "know" jesus is to understand the bible, can I then "know" Washington and Lincoln in the same way? Because I thought you all meant "know" as in having a personal relationship with jesus. But if you can get that from a book, then can't I get that same relationship from a historically accurate book about Washington (you do hold the bible to be historically accurate about at least jesus, right?)?"knowing" jesus from the bible is still a crock.(and you didn't even touch on the problem with knowing jesus based off of your interpretation of the bible)

not really. how can I "know" a guy who's been dead a hundred times (roughly) longer than I've been alive? sure I have. I don't buy it. Especially if you consider the NT to be the word of god. why the hell would god give four conflicting accounts, plus all the other gospels not included in the various versions? oh, I know. They're not really contradictory (the big four), and the rest were written by false men. spare me the BS, please.The bible is nothing more than a book, at most, a guidebook for how to live life. It has fairy tales, legends, some history, and makes lots of claims. It, at best, is a book that explains a culture. At worst, it is a book that advocates and inspires some pretty evil atrocities. I don't even know what you're asking here. Are you asking me to trust in what you say? Or are you attemtping a conversion? Please clarify.Edited by AdminPD, : Warning
