The closer I get to God for myself the more I realize how much we accept ways and philosophies that are not like Him. Jesus was moved with compassion. Dubbed a "friend of sinners" by the world. He even loved and called His betrayer friend. There's a knowledge of God but not a closeness. For example I love Stevie Wonder and can shoot fact off about him but I don't know him and never met him. I can make you believe things about him that aren't true because I know enough information to sound good. The problem today is people have a head knowledge that makes them prideful instead of a true experience with Jesus which would make them compassionate and loving. In grace sin is paid for according to scripture and Christ is our life. He always went the opposite of the Pharisees (the religious leaders of the time) and said they look good on the outside but are full of dead man's bones, Just some personal morning thoughts. You don't have to agree. I'm beyond arguing in my life. I just encourage you to know Him for yourself not through others. Knowing through others is hearsay at best.
