[quote=curdog4570]Surely you know that when you rationalize God away, you've only removed Him from your mind, not from His Universe.
But......He won't even stay absent from your mind, will He?
The fact you post on these threads is proof of that.
Says he who admits he has not independently verifiable evidence for the existence of his alleged god.
Until you can present some real evidence, none of the rest of your assertions regarding your god hold any water.
Refer to my OP on this thread.
If you were to invite Miles Patton to come see you, he might well make the trip and you could see for yourself that he is a real person.
But.... even if I asked him, he surely would not make the trip.
You don't know Miles for the same reason you don't know Jesus.......you won't invite him.
And neither of them answer to me.
If Jesus wants to show up at my house tonight, that would be great. We have great water here. I imagine he could make some really great wine out of it, if he decides to show.
He doesn't ask permission......He asks for an invitation.
And He doesn't respond to demands, but does respond to requests.
Is "humble" in your vocabulary?
It will be.
But I tell you, it will be more bearable on the day of judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you.
They shall destroy the walls of Tyre and break down her towers, and I will scrape her soil from her and make her a bare rock.
Tyre was scraped down to a rock island made well for stretching nets.
please forgive me, but my calvinistic tendencies do show through from time to time. i'm sure god would love an invitation as the first step. on the other hand god in his infinite capacity can and will save whomever he so chooses. that's a power granted to god, and comes with the territory. hard to accept by some, even many. but one can't minimize the power of god to have his way in the final analysis.
