That fact that for some Strange reason you didn't seem to want to go there, to me raises questions? I say this for example -> someone that first comes into the Christian understanding, is generally told such and such by another first, and then they will be looking at verses and interpreting to fit with this preset seeds and missing what the verse is actually saying. In other words, they are seeing a verse, but not really. I say this also from experience. ""Is this true? " -> that hints at a prior mindset on something. To boot, either knowingly or not, sometimes we want something so much, that we can misread what we think are signs, as in we make things fit. "I did not dismiss any Bible passages." I would then suggest that that comes down to, how you interpret many verses. ------------------ None of what I'm asking you, is so I can come back at you to condemned etc, just trying to understand how you tick, so to speak, your thoughts etc. ------------ You appear to be avoiding the question that I've asked a few times -> does your faith speak of, believe in an eternal life, literal in some form to come?

Do you trust Jesus in the words that He spoke? Why were you sure that the "preset seeds" He gave you are from God? How do you know the Bible is from God? Your answer to to all of these questions is the exact same reasons that I accepted any "preset seeds" given to me by Baha'u'llah, and my subsequent confirmation through prayer that these "preset seeds" were from God and God alone.
