..."If Jesus did not secure for us a way of knowing with certainty who He is and what is required of us then He is profoundly unjust as our salvation is gravely at stake because we can't be sure about what God desires from us."....

You express well the fundamental need for ''dogmatic' Christians. it is the attitude that divides many of those who post here.

For many of us, though, we can be quite comfortable with a Christianity in which what Jesus asks is that we trust in Him and his Love and in His Mercy. I don''t need to be 'sure' about all the rules and regulations. I don't need to 'know with certainty' all that is required of us.

That's why I trust in Him as my loving Savior. All He expects of me is that I love God and strive to love one another. If I do the best I can to follow the best truth I have available, I'll leave the rest to Him.
