Ah, so you did understand the point.

Me asking you what I did was based on the assumption that you did not understand. And that's not a trick question, it was a question intended to help you understand the point.

You believe that Jesus is God, and your bible says that Jesus is the exact representation of God. So, what is true of Jesus is true of God. Based on that belief, you would have to accept that a person who knows any of the same things about God that you do, whether they've heard of Jesus or not, knows something about Jesus.

In retrospect, maybe. But we still wouldn't know why He came without the Bible.

No, not in retrospect, in simple point of fact. By biblical definition, if someone knows any truth about God, then they know truth about Jesus.

And, yes, people could not know what you believe to be true about Jesus' purpose in "coming" without the bible. Even with the bible, it is disputable.

We wouldn't know either without the Bible.

If you don't understand the difference, just ask.
Test all things carefully, so you can recognize what is good.

You don't quench the Spirit by testing things.
Neither, by holding fast to that which is good.

This is just gibberish unless you can explain the meaning of it.

No it isn't, you will not answer because your own heart is telling you the truth you deny in favor of your beliefs, biases and prejudices. This is what Jesus meant when men loved darkness over light.

Not true, anyone who seeks the Lord will find him "not the bible".
