The Bible says God preserves His Words and that His Word exceeds even His name in glory. The only way we have to know who God is is through his Words. Everything else is of this world or from our own minds and hearts, but the Bible says our hearts are deceitful and wicked and our minds are vain. "Knowing God" without the Bible is deluding yourself.
Self proclaimed "Christianity" as a whole today isn't born again and worship self created "Jesuses" and idols, so don't worry about what they're doing. Trust in the blood, get saved, and you'll only have to tolerate it for a few decades here. Otherwise you're stuck with them for an eternity in Hell.
The only way to get to know God is through the Bible? That's a lie from Hell. What about all the believers before Moses was given the law? It says that Abraham kept all of God's laws and statutes. If your theory is correct, then how is that possible?
No, dude, you need to know the Author first and foremost before you can understand the big picture of the book.
Adam had God's words, Noah had God's words, Abraham had God's words, Isaac had God's words, Jacob had God's words, even off in the Eastern world Job had God's words, Moses had God's words, and wrote them down so we all have God's words.
Some will never hear God's words but they still sin against their God-given consciences and the Bible says a conscience is enough to be held accountable. In the New Testament, God promises if someone has a heart to repent He'll bring the gospel to them.
However, the only 8 people who listened to God's words of likely billions escaped the flood, if that's any indication of how "Godly minded" people are. Bible is as available as porn today, we all know which people are more interested in.
So...No, dude, you need to know the book first and foremost before you can understand the big picture of the Author.
