What kind of grief will I get into on this thread, if I point out that Christ and his message are not to be learned from a direct reading of the Bible, but by looking between the lines for a better, more credible message?

What kind of grief? That all depends on why you find a "direct reading" Biblical message to be less credible than a "between the lines reading" Biblical message.

I'll look this post up in a few days and answer more. I find a very compelling reason for Christianity, but it doesn't refer to or depend on the most frequently offered ideas and beliefs.
