Quote from: FeNc3rSo that means "he" is not god.
The "you need to have faith without seeking proof" doesn't make much sense to me, it sounds like what a religion wanting control masses would say.
If god existed and talked through 55 pages on a forum he wouldn't mind to answer a simple question like the one i asked.
You know what I am just gonna give it a shot. Normally I would ignore posts like your but you do sound quite sincere so I will try to explain what I said above without cracking jokes.
Its like this.
I fully understand that you have doubts whether I am really channeling God or something else or my own thoughts or whatever. In other words....you do not believe. That's OK of cause, however it appears that I am not able to get anything that will suffice as proof for you.....not ever because your issue is not proof but disbelief. !!!!!! think about that a bit.
Faith in something is sort of a drawing power......like faith in the force in that movie you know. The Jedis were taught but what did they teach them?.....I think that they taught them to believe that they had those powers. It seems that their powers were dormant largely due to their own disbelief in them. (I don't believe I can lift this rock=I wont try=I did not lift it)
So taking that principle to the thread if you do not believe or even just want to believe, it seems that I am not able to "get" anything for you. God as I know him is not in show business as such and it seems he hides himself from people who rely too much on their brain their reasoning or whatever you call it, and choose to instead appear to those of childlike faith.
This may not be to your liking and possibly you will reject it, but that's OK. We all learn as we go. In any case that was what I was trying to explain. If God was very concerned with you believing in him I am sure he would be quite able to convince you, being the ultimate power....right. It seems he is just leaving mysterious little hints along the path of your life to make you think.......maybe pray and even talk to him. He is perfectly able to answer you. Someplace it talks of how god speaks.
It says:
And you shall hear a still small voice beside you saying this is the way walk in it.
God was not in the thunder or lightening but in a still small voice. The enigma of life the most power full being of all talks in a whisper, the ultimate ruler is born a poor person, and the most unlikely group of people are chosen as representatives of God, the foolish the poor and the simple. Selah
By the way Selah is Hebrew and I believe it means Think. Beth would know.
