Is the Bible really true? Did Jesus exist?

I believe the Bible is true for the most part.  I have feelings of doubt for some of it because it has been translated so there could be inconsistencies or errors.  Do I feel it is historically correct?  Yes for the most part.  Ok, I can only say that perhaps because it has been depicted that there were three, that because there are 3 stars aligned in the sky, that there must have been 3 who visited Jesus........also I think that in general people are trying to figure God out.  I don't think this is possible in the sense of Him being God, He is so high and mighty that it can only be unimaginable what He is all about.  I feel that people try to defend the bible or their faith as a way of stating that "my religion or faith or belief is the correct one".....when in fact I believe so much from each piece of religion that all must be true if God is to be true.  He is everywhere and everything.  Right?  So that's kinda how I feel and that's why I like and appreciate the history lessons I have learned from the Bible and other historical sources.  I absolutely agree with you regarding the pyramids thingy.  I feel that some of it is true though because of the sources that Acharya S. refers to.  I just think more knowledge is better even if false or gives a false opinion or whatever you want to call it because to truly believe in God is to believe that He exists period.  Jesus' existence on Earth was to convince people that there was a God, wasn't that the purpose....to show that He would die for our sins on the cross.  I may have gotten mixed messages but some of it is true, some might be fable, some might be interpretation, but for the most part, yes I have had experiences where God has touched me.  Whether or not Jesus came to Earth doesn't sway my thought that if he did then my actual belief is true, I am just keeping open minded to scientific facts that explain history in general which may.....again, which may explain other parts of the Bible that aren't explained....like Jesus' existence from age 1-30 before he grew up, his teenage years.  Although I suppose it is uneccessary, I am curious as I am sure other people are and must have been at the time and now.  I have researched other books of the Bible as well, the parts that were not included, which is on YouTube, which is facinating to me too.  I am glad that I am able to express my feelings to you, that we are explaining what we think to each other and not getting so frustrated and calling out each other that our faith is better or truer.  We are being civil and kind.  I am just a learner, love to find out more stuff.  And if it is even false, all of it, some of it, none of it, it doesn't matter, because God is in my heart.  Jesus is still there (and at this time in my life, I am just questioning His existence-if I put it in a percentage, I believe He came and saved us all.  This belief is at about a 75%, so I am not a disbeliever, just a humble curious soul perhaps lost a bit because I got involved in matter that intrigued me, by my OWN curiousness of the fact that maybe perhaps our sun, the solar orb is the Son of God that the Bible speaks of.  It's all interpretation and sometimes I really just believe that it is ALL true.  I know that the devil comes and makes his way into our thoughts and perhaps that is what is going on, I am not ruling that out.
I believe (and have the right to believe that it could be true and might not be true - because I myself haven't researched the DaVinci code, for instance, enough myself to be an expert in the field other than watching the movies.)....that books can inspire, lie, cheat, deceive us all.....if you make a claim about one book you have to make the claim of all possible books including the Bible.  So this is how I feel about that analogy.  How do you feel about my opinion about this?

No I don't feel that I am demon possessed and I know you aren't trying to say that I am.  Perhaps I am Jesus, like once I did before when I became psychotic enough that I was out of my mind so to speak thinking that I made a cross on my chest, was it upside down when I looked at it, or right side up as people looked at it, so was I impersonating Him, was I so mentally ill back then that I was perhaps in the field of being messiah-like (which I mean, so psychotic, that the nonbelievers of Jesus when He came still doubted His powers)....cuz I realized a many crazy things that made sense and crazy at the same time.  When one's mind let's go of reality, you kinda experience a high that is like none other, seeing things in a different light, experiencing life with sides of your brain that are not normally used (as we only use a very very very small portion of our big brains).....

I have a passion for science - always.  I have a passion for knowledge - whether it be true or not, knowledge is power, knowledge is God, knowledge is knowing God, knowledge is accepting our faults and successes, knowledge is knowing we are mortal and not always correct.  God exists in my world, your world and I don't impose my beliefs upon anyone else's beliefs because although it has been learned that we are to "preach the word" and become more like Jesus, I have a hard time not talking about Jesus because He is important in my life, just at this time, I "learned" other truths which expanded my ability to learn and accept what I already experienced in life.  Begs me to learn more and grow, as humans we need and love to grow.  I want to grow closer to God and I feel He wants me to understand Him in a way that makes sense to me, it is rather unimportant how I get there, in my case, because I know He exists.  In what form?  It doesn't really matter to me.  What, is God not going to accept me into Heaven because I believe in Him and doubt or have doubts, slight as they may be about Jesus Christ?  I love God.  He is Love. 

And why does He have to be male?  Couldn't God be female or androgonous or alien?  We....again....if you think about it regardless of books, regardless of opinion or truth.....God is everywhere, why is He masculine????????????????????????

Just thoughts from a once crazy psychotic mind that holds onto the fact that I truly saw a "burning bush" and my fiancee was with me when we both saw it, it was revealed to me at a place of reverence when I was a child, during the day......unless someone came there 15 minutes before I got there and started a small fire and left......it was incredible feeling of amazement because I felt Jesus' presence hugely at this time.....it was like seeing a UFO.  Until you experience the Hand of God you cannot really explain His existence to others.

Whew.....sounded crazy sometimes, other times I feel I was inspired by God?  Does what I say make sense to you?
