Dear Kulgai,
Just one very simple reaon - when I read the Bible, it speaks right into my heart. I can't help it but to see myself as wicked and hopeless being. I know God is real and He is perfect. I can't see myself meeting Him with my condition - every thought in my mind, every action that I do and every word that comes out of my mouth are just simply disgusting. No other religion teaches the same as the Bible. In fact, Christianity is not a religion. It is about establishing right relationship with God. Our relationship with God is broken because of our carnal and sinful nature. God, through the death of Jesus, is reconciling us to Him. God is all about relationship and love.

We can all certainly relate to the bible and ... why not? I once read about my zodiac sign and was pretty impressed. They sure know my characteristics. Another time, i was reading about my zodiac sign again (another book) and once again found it pretty accurate. Guess what, I was reading up the wrong zodiac sign the second time round. So, I read through all the zodiac signs and found I could easily fit into any of the signs. What I'm saying is this - being able to relate to something doesnt count very much. Has anyone personally experienced God? I mean really experience and not just feel/believe. Why doesnt God show himself to all so that all will believe?
