But, that's just it.. We do not put our faith into copies of copies of copies of a book written in a foreign language on one speaks anymore.
That book is just a map to find God. Once you follow the map you truly find God. It is God in whom we put our faith. The bible says do x+y+z and God will do 1,2,3. When you receive 1,2,3 you will have direct access to God.
Jesus said He had to leave so God could send the Holy Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit of God that we have direct access to.
If Jesus commanded crowds of 5000+ back in the day! how many millions would swap Him today? Do you really think you would get to see that man? With the introduction of the Holy Spirit everyone is offered a piece or measure of the Holy Spirit, if you simply a,s,k for it.
This is how I do what I do here and in life. (Through the strength and power of the Holy Spirit.)

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Apparently this is one of those questions where the average Christian knows God's innermost thoughts intimately. Unlike the kind where he's all mysterious and shit. Funny how their knowledge of his intentions changes so readily.

Haven't you heard his trick? The fact that you think it didn't work means you weren't doing it right, so of course it didn't work!
A/S/K has no failure state: just people who believe it works, and people who weren't doing it correctly. Supreme intellectual cowardice and dishonesty.

Yes I seem to remember you explaining that at least six different times.

According to the Mormons he did. His name was Lucifer. (I can't make this shit up.)

In other words, he set the stage for amazing a world full of simpletons with a major worthless spectacle by amazing the minds of a few local simpletons with a few minor worthless spectacles.
He must be all knowing, for he understood that in 2000 years, a lot of people would know better and still not care.

You put just enough faith in it to confirm your biases.
