: If you want to know something about God why don't you read the bible for yourself and ask God to tell you what it means. P.S. you don't need man to tell you what God is all about!
I disagree. While reading the Bible is important, when I was a new Christian I needed help in understanding what things meant.
Even now, I'm not going to presume I understand everything. The Bible is the major source of information for a Christian. But sometimes cannot answer the questions that a person looking for the truth might have.
So, I think that a person with questions should look towards the Bible, but also look for a pastor or an educated believer. It might make the explanation easier.
Thanks again,
