then the bible has become an idol for you. the ONLY way to truly understand truth is with the heart. a true connection to God begins in the heart.
Luke 17:20-22 (King James Version)
20And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
the kingdom is within, its in our hearts, thats where hte kingdom is established. how do you know what is true? that which lines up with love is true. how do you know love? it is the true nature of God and that nature is imparted into our hearts as we walk with Christ.
