Head knowledge of the bible vs. a change of heart

Whilst handing out the Biggest Question Gospel DVD several weeks ago, we ran into a Princeton University theologian priest. I asked him "how do you get to heaven?". He answered and said "you take your wings and fly away" or something similar to that.

I was quite shocked, and wasn't sure if he was joking around, so I kept trying to ask him to please tell me. He accused me of not being sincere, but I really wanted to know what his thoughts were since he spent so much time reading about theology and the bible. He refused to give me an answer and it made me really sad. The #1 thing I always want to talk about is Jesus, always!

When I started to ask him if he believes Jesus when He says He is the only way, and the priest said yes but was saying how he didn't think you had to follow all of the bible, or something like that. It was very confusing to see someone with so much head knowledge, really not understand why Jesus came.

It really got me thinking that it's one thing to know the bible, but it's another thing to KNOW the Author.

Yesterday, I found a paper I wrote in college in my "intro to religion" class. I took this class when I was not a Christian. And clearly written on the pages was how Jesus died for our sins to pay the debt we could never pay!

I was SHOCKED!!!!! I knew that "head knowledge" before I became a Christian, I just didn't understand it and I didn't actually KNOW Jesus.

If you are reading this and don't really know Jesus, please ask Him to help you...
