Yes, and you can actually only know God’s perfect plan if you actually personally know God not a book.

Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus?
God’s perfect plan is in the book. You cannot know God if you don’t understand the book..

Quite honestly, El correctos opinion that it’s a fairytale would make more sense than what you’re saying. At least he’s honest and says he doesn’t believe any of it.

yes, and that the gospel is message, teaching, moral compass. It's the best source we have as a guide for life. The old testament is it's history lesson with the new testament being it's guide for His message and guide for moral compass guiding our life decisions. The ultimate message being "Jesus in our place".
The Good News, The Gospel is that God so loves us.

Do you know of any better news?

Are both of us right if we walk and talk with Jesus and arrive at different conclusions as to what sin is or is not? I would feel horrible if I tried to help someone with guidance that would lead them in the wrong direction
And according to the book, you would be judged accordingly. I certainly wouldn’t want that hanging around my neck.

So your theology is, you must know the Bible to know God?

That is one of the most absurd things I have ever heard.

But if you believe that, and that works for you go for it.
What’s absurd pretending to be part of a religion that has a book that explains the religion and then pretending the book is flawed and has no meaning other than pretty stories.

You are not a Christian you do not follow Christ, you follow your own understanding which will lead you to hell. According to the flawed book. Good luck with that.

Religionist I’ve been doing this for seems like forever.

Are you going to determine what is saying and what is not sin in someone’s life by using Bible for your judgment?

have you been baptized in the Holy Spirit?

You have not been baptized by the Holy Spirit, but by a spirit. And pretending you’re not a religionist while having your own religion is comical. You even have your own dogma which you display all the time.

So you’re saying we have to give our hearts to him for him to continue to love us?
He always loves us, but he hates our sin. Kind of difficult to know if you’re sinning with someone like you when you don’t think anything is a sin. Well at the very least you tell people they can decide what a sin is there is not. Good luck with that.

If I could rip every page out of the Bible that bothered my flesh, we would probably just get a few chapters in psalms and John 3:16 and everything will be just fine. I can do whatever I want now.

Stupid 10 Commandments, who wants to listen to those?

We would have no knowledge of Jesus Christ without the book. You might as well worship a golden calf. Because that’s actually what you worship.
I’m sorry that you don’t actually believe he’s alive today and that he reveals himself today apart from a book and that the Holy Spirit has come to reveal him and to reveal truth.

It seems to me that the Bible is closer to representation of a modern golden calf then actually knowing the living God who lives and dwells inside of you and who walks among us in spirit today.

have you even been baptized in the Holy Spirit?

One of my favorite lessons in the bible is when Jesus steps up when the woman was to be stoned. By custom she was to be stoned, but Jesus stepped up to defend her. She was a sinner and still He loved her.

The next thing He did in the story is overlooked by many now, which I feel divides our beliefs unnecessarily. He went to her and said "go and sin no more".

Many people wanted to condemn her, but Jesus stepped up to let us know we are all sinners, but He also told her to stop her sin.
