You know, w've got the bible and that's a very good thing. It was Adam's line, through Moses that kept these stories alive way way back even before Moses wrote them. And I am sure God had everything to do with that.
But you'll notice, that God does have relationships with others, the bible does make vague mention of it here and there, the heathens love him etc..
Myslef, i realize that i have been labeled a fundamental Christian by some people here tima and again. but in reality, I am a far cry from a fundamental Christian. the basis of my Christianity is not church, is not even the bible... my basis is a relationship with Jesus. I had only read the bible once, as a child, a childrens bible... prior to being saved... and through many things the Lord led me in total ignorance of His Word, yet he led me...and only later when i started studying the bible was i able to say for certain, yes, this is the God of the Bible.
I wasn't saved at church even, i was saved at home. it was a pretty awesome experience.. I would hear angels singing, I later heard those same hymns in non-denominational and baptist churches... i would be quoting scripture (before I even knew it was scripture)... do you know I literally got down on my knees and said the sinner's prsyer pretty much verbatim like they use at evangelical prayer meetings/revivals... and I had never heard any of that in my life. i had only been to church with my parents as a kid, a catholic chuch, and none of that ever went on there. Tuly, I had never set a foot in any other church and hadn't been to church in almost 20 years when i was saved.
all I know Bex, is he did it to me, he can do it to others.
I actually do think it was my being 'unchurched' that allowed me to be saved in the mighty way I was Bex. i had no expectations, no pre-determined ideas. none.
All I ever had Bex, was a burning dsire for God to bo really exist, somehow someway... and as the years passed, I began to sense him, a friend sometimes, a protector.. mostly Bex, I knew he was kind of angry with me when I was younger and he did let me know that. But I knew him Bex, the force like Sunshine says. But I was never a bible reader. Just a very fallible and vulnerable someone who needed God. I knew him that way for about 10-12 years before I actually got saved by Jesus. I was afraid of him for the most part Bex.
