Often we have heard someone say "You don't know So-And-So as well as I do."
As individual saints do we all know Jesus the same? I'm thinking perhaps not or no we don't all know Jesus or God the same or the same degree.
How about our knowledge of Jesus from the perspective of our denominations? Do different doctrines and religious cultures tint our glasses, so to speak, regards the Jesus we might know?
What is the part of the Holy Spirit in all this? As a guide to truth do we in fact all know the same Jesus and infact the same God? Can someone sum this up?
And finally is the Holy Spirit unique to christianity? And is Jesus, for us The Savior, something else in other religious traditions? In other words, perhaps to simple, do we all know Jesus, but to different degree and is it God's will?
I know, lots of questions, but they are from a few prayers on this:
John 14: 6 Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me.
And this:
John 1. 1. In the beginning ( before all time) was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself.
2.He was present originally with God.
3. All things were made and come into existence through Him; and with out Him was not even one thing made that has come into being.
