Wolf., I didn't live in the past before the Bible was completed. I didn't live in the days when other Christians believed God was condemning them and was endorsing the hierarchy in the Catholic church to kill them if they didn't obey the churches teachings. (or any other religion man controlled people with) I'm soooo thankful I live in a day when reading and writing are taught., where the Bible is free to read anytime/anywhere here in America. It can be read in all kinds of languages and all kinds of translations.
I have many Bibles here at home along with concordances and dictionaries. And I have access on line and access in my community to learn more about the Bible and the truth of God. I am also so thankful that the Holy Spirit teaches us in such a beautiful way using the Bible and the gifts of Pastors and teachers and evangelists in the body of Christ. Yet even with the Bible and education., many people are mean and nasty and ugly in America as well as the world because they don't believe.
I cannot go by what others have done or are doing or will do. I can only go by what I'm learning from the Holy Spirit and the Bible and teachers and pastors who are teaching me things that maybe you or others here don't agree with wolf.. That's ok because I'm not the Holy Spirit and neither are you or they. I can share but I can't convince., and neither can you. We can trust the Holy Spirit with the process. He is the One who convinces and convicts.
