And you duck the question. And all you have is a baseless distrust of a document you offer as a reliable guide.
We do not know God except through His Word, which is the Bible and Jesus Christ. That's what it says. Faith is not of our own making, nor are we saved by our own seeking. That is also what it says.
Look, if you want to argue with the Bible, that is your burden. But it is not a fit subject for this page. I'm just not interested in your home brew.
I answered your question. The scribes and pharisees held up their scriptures in Jesus' face too. He didn't mind quoting it, but he spoke "as one having authority, and not as the scribes." It means he communed directly with God. Faith comes by hearing the word of God. In other words, it comes by hearing truth. When you read truth in the Bible and it inspires faith, you should act on that faith. The Bible does not have to be inerrant for it to accomplish this. But if you make it your source, then the alterations that have been made to it will lead you astray. And you too may be found to be flapping it at some actual servant of God someday who actually knows what he's talking about because he went to the source, and demanding his stoning because you never became a doer of the word.
The Bible is your God. God is mine. That's your burden.
Jesus was (is) God. Perhaps you haven't heard of the Trinity. You want to say the Bible contains truth, but also that it will lead you astray. You don't have any way of sorting truth from error. As a result, you follow your own path of error. You profess to follow God but not Christ. You have missed the boat.
You just said God was Christ. Then say when I say I follow God I'm not saying I follow Christ? You're all over the place, kiddo.
And no. YOU don't have any way of sorting truth from error. The fact that you can't fathom the idea that a book can contain both truth and error is kind of amazing. It shows you haven't done your homework on how the book was put together in the first place.
The spirit of God will show you truth from error, no matter where it is found. As an adult, if you really struggle to understand this, it really worries me that you're on my team. And your need to misrepresent my points in order to make yours should tell you which spirit is operating within you, and it's not God.
You are the one who dismisses what the Bible tells us plainly: that there is no way to salvation except through Jesus. Please don't play the "any name is good" game with the Trinity. You know very well that the Bible directs us...and you are not following the direction. Your preference for a non-trinitarian view of God is very evident by what you are omitting and setting aside. If you say you are following God and mention no word of Jesus, good luck with that.
The Bible is the Word of God and is inerrant...unless you just don't want to believe it at all. The spirit that often operates within us is Satan, which is the realm that God permits him to operate in. You can't do it alone, and you are a poor judge (as are we all) of what is holy and unholy in ourselves. Which is why we need to follow the Bible as a guide for our lives.
