Is it possible to get close to Jesus without being religious

or following a dogma or reading the bible?

Yes. God is not in a book or a sermon. God is a living and active being that you can live your life along with Him, if you choose.

@XReaganX he refers to Jesus not some new age crap.

@SW-User I know. How new age is the idea that Jesus is alive and not exclusively found in a book or sermon?
SW-User
@XReaganX it’s like saying you are into Moby Dick but won’t read Moby Dick! Your ideas are absurd,
.

@SW-User All I said is that God doesn't have to be exclusive in a book. Otherwise, what's the point in believing in Jesus if it's just a fairytale.
SW-User
@XReaganX the post was about Jesus...it’s in the Book.

@SW-User okay, so if you believe in Jesus you'd know He's not dead. But obviously you don't and that is where we diverge.
SW-User
The New Testament is about Jesus, is it not? How else do you lean about him? Are you daft?@XReaganX

@SW-User Word of mouth if anything. Are you so closed minded that Jesus, who's God and can do anything, can introduce himself to someone by other means than through text? Many people hear more about Jesus than reading straight out of the Bible on their own.
SW-User
What an odd Christian you are. Denying the Bible like you do. You should be ashamed. Shame! @XReaganX

But we're done here. My intention was answer this question, not spend the night debating with you and having unnecessary insults flung at me for my beliefs. Good night.

@SW-User Don't be a hypocrite. There's a scripture about that in Psalms. ;)
