You are missing the point it's about the Life not the man with the beard. Jesus would never have you falling at his feet worshipping him like he was a graven image. He( Jesus) said seek the kingdom of God, he also told us where to find it...... It is God that we all seek and the Life that HE demonstrated is the road whereby we seek God.
Fundamental christianity that you subscribe too is total gibberish, not thought through by those of who us gave ourselves to it, is totally unwilling to answer questions, especially questions that exposes gaping holes and flaws in its belief systems.
You would know nothing about Jesus without the Bible, which you dis regularly.

The entire Jesus Revolution was based on people having a personal experience with Jesus Christ. The so-called Jesus Freaks experienced Christ outside the Bible. It's a pity you somehow missed it.
You & I know about Jesus the Christ because of the scriptures.

Jimmy, let me put it this way. I assume that you believe that Jesus embodied the Christ nature, and that he was the epitome of love, joy, peace, etc. So, if you know and recognize that Christ nature (even if you don't know to call it "Christ") then you do know the essence of who Jesus was AND what he taught about those things, even if you don't know that you know.

You would not even know that ^^^ about Him without scripture.
That has nothing to do with my point. You would know nothing of Jesus without the Bible. You can't refute that, so you post this ^^^ gibberish.
You are stating the obvious and pretending it is some catch-all defense of the Bible. How we know ABOUT Jesus has nothing to do with what we are supposed to do now that we know about Him. His message and instructions to us are more important than the source of the information. You are worshiping and revering the source and ignoring His direct instructions to His disciples to love God and each other every day and repent when we don't.
Jimmie, if you know anything of love, mercy, peace, joy, patience, kindness, gentleness, self-control, etc. in your life, then you know the Christ.
I see that you have been reading your Bible and learned about the fruits of the Spirit. This is a good start
