I know Jesus because of the Bible. I have not received a mystic vision of Him apart from it. In fact, the Bible warns specifically against this.
Jesus is My God. He is my salvation He is my Lord my Rock, My Love, the One upon whom I lean and to Whom I turn in my trouble.
I did not invent the Bible and can tell you nothing that isn't in there, nor would I. Jesus spoke from the Bible. Jesus quoted it constantly, reminding everyone to whom He spoke that the words He said were the words He heard His Father speak and He was just repeating what His father Had already said.
I do not tell you the Gospel according to Thagrastay, because that would get you nothing. And If there is ever such a book I urge you to burn it, quickly.
Tecoyah, If I had no compassion, I would not even bother to respond. I would say"Let them go their own way- I have MY salvation and have been forgiven- Let them get their own!" But Jesus says "To whom much is given, much is required". And I know how much I have been forgiven of. How then can I turn my back and say to anyone "Go get your own"? This Salvation didn't come from me! It didn't come from anything I have ever done or said! This salvation came as a free gift of the One and Only God by way of His Son, to Me and anyone, like me, who is willing to humble themselves and ask to be forgiven!
I am but one among countless many who have come before and about to come that will seek the forgiveness ans mercy of the Living God and receive it in the finished work of His Son.

I am not certain what you mean by my acting more open minded toward others means.
Tecoyah, I know what I know. If that offends you, I apologize. I am not the type to beat around the bush. I believe that the highest honor one person can pay another is just tell them the truth, and let the other do with it what they want.
If I see a person about to step out in front of a bus, I will shout a warning, not clear my throat and hope they hear me. Idf this is indiscreet, then so be it. I Love enough to offend. I learned that from Jesus. I also love enough to care and to share and help and to listen and to learn and to laugh and to hold and be . I also learned that from Jesus. And from my friends.
What may I learn from you?
