Please DO TELL what revelation you received that the bible was TRUE?

(can't hardly wait for this)

He showed me that He is a triune God, and that there is a Messiah, someone whose job it is to save the world. This is before I understood what any of that really meant. So when I got to the bible I immediately recognized it was about the God I already knew. Further, I was shown that He is sovereign and in absolute control of everything. And also, He showed me His love, mercy, and benevolence, which are clearly perceived from it.

There is a lot that I want to address in your last post, but I want to get to this one first as you did not remotely answer the question and rather gave me a politician's answer - which of course is no answer.
This is what you wrote:
lucent Wrote:I became a Christian because I received revelation that the bible was true, and this before I read or understood anything about it.
I, in turn, asked you WHAT revelation? "He showed you he was a triune god." HOW? "and that he is a Messiah." HOW? And also how did he show you all this BEFORE you were even a christian?

Explain yourself and your magical revelation. How EXACTLY did your god show you that he was not only the Messiah, but also triune in his nature BEFORE you even picked up a bible. That's right, you are making the claim that you got a revelation that the bible was true. Therefore you couldn't have gotten this revelation from the Bible itself, because clearly that would be cyclical and not a revelation at all. Also, it would mean that you lied and you did INDEED know about god's attributes before this magical revelation.

You make one hell of a claim here and I'm not going to respond to the former portion of this post until I have a legitimate answer.
If you turn out to be a loony toon, I'm gonna be extremely disappointed - in not only you, but really myself.
