I never said you should discard Bible, only that you should be discerning. My metaphor with Bible vs God was more about a hypothetical situation where Jesus would come and tell you to set the Bible aside and follow Him. Your answer was and is clear -- you would, in all likelihood, proclaim Him a false teacher, keep the Bible as is, and wait for a "redeemer" as you imagine him according to your beliefs. Not as He really is. Well, I don't have to tell you the consequences of such obstinacy.

Furthermore, Jesus, too, didn't tell anyone to discard Torah, only that the so-called scripture, and what is considered to be the Torah, does not represent Torah and obscures it, even if it includes it. You defend Bible exactly as Pharisees defended their Law.

As for "the red letters" -- it's not a matter of pick and choose according to one's preferences. At least, not for me. There were times when I put the words of apostles into practice, and I treated "the red letters" according to interpretation of apostles. It didn't work out. God was still just a thought and a matter of faith. An always-future promise. Later, and only inadvertently, I followed just "the red letters", discarding all the apostolic hogwash, and "the red letters" worked as advertised -- I don't have to believe in God because I know Him beyond any doubt. And no, it's not a matter of feelings, dreams, etc. either. Go, figure ;)

All in all, you won't find God in a book. What you can find there is only the Way to know Him. And that unshakable knowledge is where it's at.
