What I said wasn't an attack on any persons claiming to be Christians. For most black people that was our gateway/invitation into the bible. We didn't really have much choice. Now, as you said, we living in the Information Age, so now we can see where Christianity came from and... here is the important thing... question the parts of it that deserve to be questioned; the parts that do not line up with scripture, line upon line, or precept upon precept. I make the distinction of Christianity not being biblical in and of itself because that is a part of history and it's important. When that history is not known people make the mistake of automatically assuming that Yeshua (Jesus) himself was the founder. And so they follow a man-made church doing what man tells them to do and over time this authority of "the church" grows and grows until it can use its own authority to reverse engineer the bible.
So I recognize the "seeds of truth" you were saying. And in fact, I would not know these extra things if I didn't have that Christian experience myself and didn't get the feeling that certain things were wrong (false doctrine). If you follow Yeshua, that's good. That's not bad. I would only say use that power of the internet to gain a clear picture of who he was and was not. Not saying you personally. Everyone is at different levels of knowledge and different levels of truth. There's nothing wrong with where anyone happens to be right now as long as they're moving forward on their path.
