Purpose for Jesus, as like one of us, but as God, was for the redemption of the whole world which was "lost" in the creation process.
That having been done, only requires faith in Him.
Because, He has redeemed the "lost" means that anyone/you can call God/Jesus anything they/you want, for God already knows who you are and what it is that is in their/your heart.
There is allot of material in the bible to argue about of which is an endless endeavor.
What is hoped from all of it, is that in the seeking of the truth, God can reveal His love for you and touch your life.
Narrow mindedness is basically for the shallow in faith, for in their narrow mindedness, they are protected from themselves from other religious philosophies, not being mature spiritually enough to cope with.
But as the mind is broaden, and understanding is given, progress towards a deeper faith in God is achieved.
A good story analogy is likened to a shallow creek verses a deep river.
A fallen limb from a tree across the shallow creek will divert the flow of water easily; likened to what the bible terms, false teachings.
But a river whose dept is deep and the river wide, likened to strong spiritual faith, even a big tree fallen across it would not divert the course of the water.
Religious organizations are likened to the tree limbs being trimmed so as that if they may not fall on the shallow and possibly divert them from their faith.
The deep river strength of faith are those who have been exposed to many of the false teachings, and have searched them out and found the truth as only God can reveal to individually, for only He knows the intents of the heart.
I will share with you this verses: Rom 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Rom 8:39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Jesus is YHWH himself of old - the Son of the invisible Almighty God Father.... of whom no man hath seen at anytime NOR his name have been revealed to anyone at this time.
Oh, I'd just love to take that one and run with it.
That is why I wrote it...
