All genuine Christian behavior and living is by definition an experience of Christ, because the Christian life is "not I, but Christ." So whenever the Bible commands any action from us it is by definition commanding an experience of Christ.

So not to put too fine a point on it, but seeing that the Bible encourages all kinds of participations which are all by definition experiences of Christ, yet to turn around and say that the Bible doesn't encourage experiencing Christ is possibly the most illogical thing I've heard in a long, long time. It's right up there with the argument that increasing the amount of money the nation owes will help us reduce the national debt.

It's like you saying that people should fly, drive or take a boat to another destination, and then turn around and say you didn't encourage anyone to travel. I mean, duh.
