Divination to-day

Has the portrayal of christ's life, as preserved and handed down by the christian church, the value and power of a revelation for us to-day, or do we in the matter but live upon the inheritance bequeathed us by the first community of christians and base our faith on the authority and testimony of others? Is it possible to really comprehend  "the Holy". If the first disciples could not then why would any generation after them be able too? But if humans have something inherit in them that allows them to witness the spirit then it is possible. And if this assumption is made, then the exact history and stories of christ are much less relevant than unlocking this inherit ability to "witness the spirit"
