So is equating ALL non-Christians to vile Hellfire fodder; who these self-delusional, devil-dodging dupes believe deserve to be burnt to death, then resuscitated, and so on, for forever and a day!
Who would Jesus torture? - tens of billions of poor bastards incapable of comprehending the cockamamie crap that he got his fruitcake biographers to write in the Bible!
People who point to the Bible lack understanding, but not for the reasons you suggest. They lack it because they dont understand the teachings in the Bible. The Bible doesnt teach to rely on it as the sole absolute Word of God. Quite otherwise, it tells us that Man must live off every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
That does raise the question how you know. If they understood the Bible, they wouldn't be pointing to the Bible because while the Bible is useful to gain knowledge, one first has to know that the Bible is true before one can accept the truths found within.
But assuming the Bible is true, the Lord has clearly provided a way for man to know His will. "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God who giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not, and it shall be given unto him. But ask in faith nothing waivering."
Christ promised His disciples the Holy Spirit which would teach them the truth of all things. He also taught them that they could know that the doctrines He taught was from God by living it. Basically an experiment on His word.
Its through the Spirit that Ive learned God's will on numerous matters and I assume I will learn more in the future the same way. Even Peter the Chief Apostle learned the truth because of Revelation from God.
