And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. When asked for the great commandment Jesus replied You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. Very few claim to have direct experience of Him, but we can speculate. The concept of the universe having had some initial cause is somehow more satisfying than it just being there by chance. We ourselves are able to act as a first cause, to impose our will on physical reality i.e. we possess a 'spark of divinity'.
Critics claim the Bible contradicts itself, making it all things to all men.
But of course these are two sides of the same coin. As with the symbols of the occult, the Bible does not provide instant enlightenment, it does prepare the seeker for certain landmarks which may be encountered on a personal journey through life. We are expected to use our powers of judgment to evaluate what we may find along the way. A being from another planet observing a church service such as the Holy Communion would be hard pushed to distinguish it from a ceremony of ritual magick. Both seek to contact some unseen higher force.
