Luckily, we Christians don't have to depend on "visions," and "inner voices" and dreams and hallucinations. We have a set of books called the Gospels and they tell us an eyewitness account of our Lord and God as to what He said and did in Person.

Weren't you the one who on this very thread chastised me by noting that the Gospels are NOT ALL in fact eyewitness accounts? I'm glad to see you've come around to seeing beyond the technicalities. :)

We take that God to be the true God who is merely prefigured in uncertain terms in the OT.

And we take the OT to be God's Holy and inspired word. We do not use words like "merely" to describe it.

Two authors of the Four Gospels were eyewitnesses, but all four Gospels are written as eyewitness accounts of Jesus' ministry. Two of them were obviously 2nd (3rd, 4th, etc.) hand accounts of someone's witness.

And we take the OT to be God's Holy and inspired word

Whatever you wish to call it; if you are a Christian then the OT must conform to Christ of the Gospels, not the other way around.
