Debunking Christianity: What Does it Mean to Have A Personal Relationship With Jesus?

John Loftus posted a video from YouTube user StampCollector.


The video attempts to suggest that there is no clear understanding of who Jesus is and what His commands are by Christians. I disagree. There is a huge point that was missed. None of the Christian viewpoints given in the video were given with any reference to what the Bible really says. There is room for a difference of opinion on a wide variety of subjects in Christianity. For example some people think the Bible can be used to say the Earth is 6000 years. It does not say that. No where does it say that. No where does it say we should take "days of creation" as 24-hr days or some other period of time. We agree all agree that in the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth. That is the important part for a theological view. The rest is figuring out how he did it...that's science. The age of the earth is not definitional of what a Christian believes.
What I want to know is why the fact that Christians have freedom to have different opinions about a lot of different things is horrible but then at the same time we are accused of being close-minded? How is that? For those matters that are definitional and wanting to know what Jesus really thinks about important things, we can look at the Bible.
