NOTE: What I mean by “Bible friendly” is that you’re agreeing not to criticize the Bible in this thread, or to criticize people trusting what it says.
I think that people are saved by the grace of God, through faith, but I don’t think that “faith” means endorsing some beliefs about God, about Jesus or about the Bible. I think that it means seeing God in Jesus, with our hearts, then trusting and following Him.
I think that If there’s anything that people need to know, about what to believe or what to do, Jesus is the one who can teach people the best, after they learn to trust and follow Him. Only God can make that happen, but I think He lets us help, as part of our personal relationship with Him. One way I see to do that is learning to be channels for His grace. Another way is by showing Him to people in our lives, in spiritual growth and community service, and telling His story, the way the Bible tells it.
