How might your god figure have maintained Christianity without the 66 books of the Bible? What methods or media do you imagine?
Originally posted by @fmf Maybe you could speculate. You have already speculated that there would be some other means. Why not speculate about what form that means might take?
If I were to speculate I would still not know. So why do you want me to speculate ?
By the way how do you know that God could not use another form of revelation?
Many people who have never read the Bible claim to have had visions of Jesus. How do you know that their claims are false?

You ask people to assume and speculate and imagine stuff all the time. So let's get this straight: if you don’t know something, you don’t want to speculate about what the answer or situation could be, is that right?

From personal experience, I would assume they were false, the person was lying or delusional. If you can show me a credible testimony, I'll look at it (as long as it's not some spammy tabloid nonsense).
