When you have an experience, you no longer have theory.
Certainly there are experiences which make a great impression. But I think the most you can conclude is that said experience has confirmed the value of something. I've always failed to see how any of that could possibly involve a book such as a bible.
I would say you had a value confirming experience which went to ground through the bible which has always been held up to you as the Truth. That something has value to you is beyond question if you are sincere. That it is the bible is something you would do well to question critically. It would be a shame to misunderstand in what the value you apprehended adhered by rashly jumping to a conclusion and then irrationally shielding it from any attempt at rational inquiry.
