    I'm talking about the gospels. What ever Sorella wants to call it, I'm talking about the gospels.

    My point is that without the gospels none of you would know anything about Jesus. So one cannot ignore them and focus on the "Living Jesus"

    I thought you were mixing up 'man made theology', and the gospels. Two very different things, sorry if I misunderstood.

    Yes but there are different accounts of what he said and did.

    Considering none of you have met Jesus I would think it would be important to figure out which, if any or all, of the accounts of what he said or did are accurate.


    Without the "man made theology" you wouldn't even know he had existed, so that doesn't sound like such a good idea.



    And how do you tell is someone knows and loves and obeys the living Christ?

    It is a bit pointless to say that others will set an good example if you can't tell what example they are setting.

    Also, how do you obey Jesus without reference to the Bible? How do you obey Jesus if you don't know what he wants you to do?

    Do we just figure it out ourselves? Jesus wants me to divorce my wife?

    You met Jesus? Where (please don't say in your head)

    What did he look like? What did he say?

    Excellent point. All of us have a conscience which informs us of morality, but we have abused that conscience to a greater or lesser degree and the result is an indistinct message. So we need the Bible to spell it out.

    The Bible message is not all equally clear, however. God expects us to study and pray for fuller understanding of it as we progress on the Christian life.

    But some things will be crystal-clear: God does not want you to divorce your wife. :)
