Failure to know what God is like and what He expects from us leads inevitably to a life of frustration and failure, now and ultimately.
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” Hosea 4:6.
You know who God blames for this tragedy? Christians! Pastors specifically but all of us - no doubt.
There is so much incorrect and deliberately false information online it just boggles the mind. As if the lies weren’t enough, we Christians and how we live our lives just makes a mockery of what Jesus came to do - to show us the way home.

Wait, what? Who said that it was a trivial game to see if God existed?
ReplyDeleteWe come to God on His terms, not through some game whereby even if you did have evidence, like a life-sustaining universe you’d still to your old beliefs.
You blow things out of proportions here. Because of the explanations concerning your interaction with God through prayers, the experiment is rendered meaningless; that's why I had asked a few questions first. It is very informative.
You're comment here is thus completely out of scope.
It does raise an interesting idea however: a life-sustaining universe is evidence for God? It's not completely new of course, but I would like you to demonstrate the truth of this claim WITHOUT assuming that God exists in the first place. That would be new.

“you are basically using your thought process to determine what the Bible "should" say.”
Are you suggesting that the Bible is all one genre of literature.
Complete opposite; I even specified just that... the point was that because it is different genre of literature you need to use your own reason to determine what the Bible means in each different context.

“Jesus is love, hope, forgiveness, ...,”
That’s part of who He is.
Yes, hence the '...' after the 3 attributes...

I will stop here; it would simply take too much time to comment on the rest. After correcting 3 reading comprehension issues I don't see the point of getting into ideas that are even more complex. Thank you very much for the entire post though; you confirmed my intuitions concerning the way you perceive your relationship with God. It's very interesting and it answered all the questions that I had at this moment.
Take care!
(err... sorry I replied on the wrong post, but I think it's obvious...)
