I have not read ALL of them, some specifically titles 9,10, and 11 on the list, which deal with alchemy and magic, and a lengthy legal text from a Taoist perspective I have only paged through but all the others I have read.
>Why do you believe in Christ?
Because, the philosophy presented by Jesus Christ IS the WAY.
More specifically I believe Jesus Christ, is an easier way to understand God the Father, or as he might be called in this context, the Tao.
The Tao, as described by Lao Tzu, is elusive, indescribable, intangible. Look it can not be seen, listen it can not be heard, grasp, it can not be felt etc, this concept, or in general the concept of The Absolute Energy at Rest, as described similarly between major religious groups all agree that there are no words that can adequately describe the all pervading force that binds us and created us all.
The point is this, that God in his ultimate form or more precisely the personality of God is more easily understood and emulated by us, in the form of the perfect man, Jesus Christ, than an indescribable all pervading energy that is everywhere, and is everything.
That being said, everyone is on their own path, and all paths lead to God. Some are shorter of course, and some are lost in myth and translation and allegory.
IF the Tao became a person HOW would that person act? He would act like Jesus Christ.
Are there other ways to understand and align with God the father? Yes of course. Do I think that the most direct path to that connection is through the philosophy of Jesus Christ? I don't think I know.
I still enjoy reading the Tao, and consider it a holy book. But it is not as refined as the Philosophy of Christ, though there may be more dogma with the modern Christian Church, I was raised atheist and I do not go to Church, though I read my Bible every day.
You take from this what you will, but when it boils down to it, the questions of how you should live your life, and what way you should worship, I think those are answered more clearly by, a clear headed reading of the Gospels, ESPECIALLY, the Gospel of Thomas, which is more like the Tao than anything. Try an interlinear Greek reading of it, even though it's clunky, the language is more appropriate. It is essentially just 114 "Jesus said" quotes.
If you've read this and you still do not understand why I believe in Jesus Christ, as the Way. Then I will continue to expound further on the points after you reply.
