fully agree on most points, i was lucky enough to not be brought up in a christian cult, but came to the truth of God, Jesus and the bible as an adult reasonably recently (after realising the truth about who runs the world and for what purpose.)

my only caveat is with your encouraging people not to read the bible - surely your knowledge of who Jesus really is and what we ought to be doing (and not doing) as His followers comes from God's word?

also, Christ is our mediator - we do need Him as our lawyer before God. our deeds are not enough, and they should come because we recognise His sacrifice for us, because love.

peace.
