I do get the whole “pearls before swine” thing and I also identify with certain of your experiences of God. I have had a small number of life changing encounters with the Lord which I could not fully describe but which have stayed with me even 30 years later.I'd rather keep my 'infilling of the holy spirit' and my three actual encounters off the boards.
When people ask why I believe in God ... it's because of personal experience.
God is real. God is HUGE and POWERFUL and more than I can put into words.
And when He 'speaks' ... you instantly recognize Him. No question. You've known Him forever.
That is why I believe. Not because of what a book commands, but because of HIM.
That's all I'm going to say about it. No more personal stuff .... back to the topic.
Regarding the other stuff, you don’t need to believe everything in the Bible to be born again, you just need enough to get you from earth to heaven! On the other stuff, I could discuss it with you some time if you wanted as your understanding of the early books of the Bible was where I started my own investigations a while ago ;-)
God bless.
