Again, I don't generally disagree with anything you've said. Hear me out and really meditate on the previous post I wrote. I worded it specifically to show you that you're more right than wrong.
Living in Christ is nothing like most Christians imagine. They generally think I'm under Satan's influence if I open my mouth around them. They tend to disagree with me more than you do.
But in reality, it's' much closer to the concepts you're talking about than the traditions and dogma to which most Christians adhere.
I came to Christ as someone who didn't believe in any form of spirituality. But then miracles started happening in front of my eyes, daily. One of them had a probability of occurrence of 1/54 trillion (the others aren't as precisely calculable). I have no reason to lie to you. I just want you to know that this is possible for you too.
Why not open the door to having it proven to you, too? If you are open to it, just go through each of your beliefs and to each assign an estimate of the probability that it's correct. Think about them and adjust the numbers. Try to find arguments to increase or decrease your numbers.
You sound very certain of your conclusions. Maintaining uncertainty is the key to wisdom. The Bible is not what you (or most Christians) think it is. Read it as if it's a riddle and things will pop out at you.
If you set your beliefs in stone like the 10 commandments were, they will fall like overripe fruit, shattering on the ground..
