Does the bible not say that Jesus is God. Why ask? Asking is a mere human, or trusting the fact becasue a man said it was, is denying the Father in one sense.
Asking questions about what the Bible means is denying God?
The bible tells us that the Holy Spirit will teach us all things. Why ask? Asking is denying God, it's trusting what another mans says rather then what God says.
I do not believe these things becasue a man told me about them. I believe becasue God proved himself to me to be truth when I read the bible and trusted him to teach me what I needed to know. And He still teaches me evertime I open the bible and trust him too.

First of all, I do not ask because I don't know the answer. I ask because I want to see what answers I get from the other folks. You know. The folks here relying on the Holy Spirit to personally deliver them to all truth. I find there answers and methodologies interesting. Don't you?

Why ask? It facilitates our discussion here. If nobody asked questions and compared answers we would just be yelling at each other.
Secondly, you seem to be denying completely the quite Scriptural charge to teach all nations. Not just give them a book, but teach them. How can we teach if we don't ask questions and try to give answers?

Oh really? Big Mack never set down with the Bible and tried to show you the truth? (Or you, him.) You never look in other books, listen to your pastor, read a concordance, listen or watch religious programs?
Most people I know form their basic ideas about God from interaction with the members of his body. You know, asking questions and such. Even the difficult ones.
