I think it is possible that a creator entity exists but I am not aware of any such entity "communicating" with human beings other than, perhaps, through the laws of nature.
Okay, another reason your time you claim spent as a Christian shows you were not.
God becoming a man Jesus Christ, is God communicating with man. God calls us, so if
you never had that, it was always all you again. Who did you think Jesus was while
claiming to be a Christian, just another guy?

When I was a Christian I thought Jesus was calling me and was literally and actually "in" me, affecting everything, transforming me. You're a Christian, right? Do you think "Jesus is just another guy"? No. You don't. Don't ask me fatuous questions.

I believe there is only ONE thing, that matters, Jesus Christ everything else is
secondary while important, the primary is Jesus Christ.

What are the implications of being "secondary while important" for "salvation"?

Jesus Christ is not a variable before men that we have to identify correctly. He is the
Word of God made flesh, God! You are right with Him; the rest is all secondary and
will work out in time as you walk with Him. Sin will be something shunned and
repented of; doctrine will be corrected, grievances will be settled in grace, and love
will replace hate. The fruit of the Spirit will become within the believer walking with
God is more evident as the walking in the flesh becomes more and more distasteful.

We can divide ourselves into things that don't matter in the long run; we can put
anything above God to our ruin, we can treat people as objects for consumption
until we are done with them. The perspective of God as we walk with Him brings to
light those things we all see right away, stealing, lying, and things like that and
more and more of our fallen nature in us comes to light, and in our walk with
the Lord, His sanctification work in us, changes us in ways not so apparent, even
our thought life is affected.

You can get the doctrine of hell right and still end up there dive; there is only one
the primarily important thing I'm at a loss as to how you keep missing that
point!

But the question was: What are the implications of being "secondary while important" for "salvation"?

You asked me this facetious question [above]; it could only have been in bad faith. And I immediately gave you this answer...

When I was a Christian I thought Jesus was calling me and was literally and actually "in" me, affecting everything, transforming me. You're a Christian, right? Do you think "Jesus is just another guy"? No. You don't. Don't ask me fatuous questions.

And you have simply ignored it. Are you planning to pretend that you never saw it, never read it, never understood it?
