The dogma of Christianity is put there by man and you will find it no where in the Bible.
I won't find God in the Bible either. It was written by the hand of man, and man voted on what was to be gospel, silencing the voices of other Christians. If I want to find God, I'll look within my own heart. If you have found God in the bible, have at it, but don't try to tell me who, or what God is. Are you God's spokesman? Do you claim to be privy to some divine message that the rest of us are to ignorant to comprehend?
