People get to know God and his ways, intentions and plan to a much higher degree through the bible.
Christians live by God's standards....emotions are a part of things but they can be deceptive so that is one of the reasons why God provides a written record for believers to refer to.
Yes, but I'm not interested in the Biblical scholar's beliefs. I'm interested in yours. If they're refined as you claim them to be so, it shouldn't be too difficult for you to communicate them to me: without the need for an intermediary.

I'm not concerned about my body. I'm at the gym 5 times a week and I'm more than happy with the state of my body. I just want to go back to the nothingness to which I came from. That nothingness is more comforting to me, than the prospect of eternal life.
