I would ask Jesus -- is belief that you are/were God incarnate required in order to be saved and not go to Hell?

And speaking of Hell, is there a Hell?  Is there a Satan?

I would ask him why, for the last 2000 years, we haven't had any tangible manifestations of his presence, and God's, as in days of yore; the burning bush, the booming voice from heaven, the incarnation.  Somehow the occasional piece of burnt toast with his image, his mother's appearance in an oil slick on the floor of a Jiffy Lube in South Texas, and the rainbow just doesn't seem to be, at times, enough.

I'm sure one would want to ask him if the tangible manifestations recorded in the Bible were real, as in where they really tangible manifestations or simply myths and stories that had great meaning to the authors.

Are you suggesting that a chorus of trumpets and trombones could not cause the walls of Jericho to come a-tumbling' down?

We must find that within, Jim  ...to be able to see it without.  It's not that it isn't there; it's that the veil clouds our thoghts and we cannot perceive what's under our nose all along.
