Your story makes our point: The Bible is a spiritual text. It does indeed write on the heart aboud how to live your life. I agree with you that a childlike approach to God and Jesus is probably the best way to approach Him.
But when attempting to use a spiritual manual as a scientific text, you then have to look at the exact text and determine if it has scientific heft.
To do that you need to know EXACTLY what was said and the proper context within which it was said.
But not ONLY one.
