Partly cos I struggle with the NT. Ironic since it seems its usually the other way round for alot of Christians.
One main reason is cos of Jesus.
Although Im a Christian, I find it hard to know who he is. Not as God but as a man.
I read about him in the bible and see him almost as robotic or indifferent though I know he showed at least some emotion. I guess I would have liked to see more personality...long indepth conversations he had with others to really get to understand him more. All the conversations he had in the bible were short and he talked monotone or without much, or any, emotion - at least in my head. I just feel like I cant relate to him and it saddens me alot

I mean not just indepth stuff but does he have humour? I would like to have read of him telling a joke.
He always sounds just so proper like. I want to see him smiling, laughing. Having fun too.
I want him to be relatable to me...yes, I know the scriptures that describe him. That tell me he understands completely.....
Im not really after pat answers like go pray or read the bible. I can tell myself that

Im after your personal insight, how you have learnt to see Jesus - the man.
I know we are suppose to be Jesus hands and feet but I still don't see it. Maybe a glimpse here or there, a fleeting shadow.
I want to know Jesus, all of him but I don't.
And Im also just as interested to hear how atheists see jesus too.
So, shoot from the hip
