Have you ever let someone define someone else to you, and you took their word for it? Maybe time passed and you realized that what the person had said about this other person was completely wrong. That also happens when someone else tries to define God for us. Should we always take their word for it, or should we let God Himself define Who He is? We should take God at His own Word, and not let someone truly define God or Christianity for us--especially when we can clearly see their lifestyle is contradictory to the nature of God. Christians can and definitely should point us to God, but ultimately it is God Himself Who reveals Who He is.
