rocky,

jesus didn't need to "save himself" from anything because he "knew" that he was already "saved" and that regardless of what was to happen to him (which he knew) that in the "bigger" picture that he would continue just as he has and we will. it's the same with you and me - we don't need to place our "faith" in anyone/anything to be "saved." if you believe in such a thing that's the "teaching" or should i say "coercion" of those who say that they "know" the way to god.

you and others may think that you've "found" the "word" of god in a book...and that's ok, but then again you/they can look and look and wonder...

for what you're going to find in the "end" is the word of other men...

"the answers you seek are within..."

and how many times have they been wrong? and that is why you/others ask the questions.

"if you have the faith of a mustard seed you can move mountains..."

be well.
