Cool story.

I was in South America on a mission trip.In the middle of the rain forest and the middle of no where. We finally came to the village we were staying for 2 weeks. The last thing we did to get there was cross a piranha infested river on an old ferry.
The first night of preaching one of the villagers wanted to be baptized. We walked down this narrow path to the river. He wanted his local preacher to baptize him. Me and twelve other people were the only white people in a hundred mile radius. Anyway, the two of them go wading out into the river and I say, "What about the piranhas?" They both look at me and the preacher says, " Don't worry, Brother, they only like white meat. We'll be fine."

A wonderful God we have providing proof from the book that he provides multiple means for His creation to experience personal salvation. That is proof in my mind and heart that faith in the Bible alone is an inadequate faith.

Salvation is an inner work of God in a person, not rigidly following and spouting pompous understanding and opinions from a religious book.

However useful the Bible and other religious artifacts, rituals, and traditions, written and oral, were in my life. Until God did the inner work to my innermost self I remained lost, when He did the inner work I finally surrendered to and experienced His personal salvation in my life.

If all I had was this comment for instruction to be a Christian, I'd be buying @Box Ox a beer.

Wah wah where is your verse in any of this wah wah.

Wah wah verses verses verses wah wah.

Are you convinced that any life run on self – will can hardly be a success?

You follow a book, with a lot of faults and metaphors with room for interpretation. Not Christ.
