How does God call out?



I already addressed that. Go back and read it if you are interested.

You expect me to search through all your posts to find something relevant? I may not even recognize what you consider to be "God calling out."

No, I don’t expect very much from you at all.

The feeling is mutual.

I know that God, assuming existence, does not call openly and honestly for all to see and hear, that it is only the believer who feels through interpretation of events, signs or 'hearing' subjective voices in the head, that God is calling to them.

It is all about the experience of the believer, how they see things, and not some actual 'God.'

Although most in this thread have done well in keeping the discussion polite and not jabbing back very hard at those who are prone to attack their beliefs and behaviors as Christians, some seem to have injured the feelings of Starman because he is becoming more and more strident in his nasty speculation about Christians.- to the point of some ad hominum attacks. Can we not rectify this in some way so that he/she is not so aggravated?

I just got tried of starman, I put him on ignore.

I would surmise that the reason you show up on these threads is that you desperately desire God.... but you don’t have God in your life ....you want God on your terms and only on your terms.

Perhaps you want God to come to you and do your bidding.... you want Him to be who and what you want Him to be.... kinda like a spoiled child demanding something from a parent.. ..... you don’t have a God to serve you like you want.... so, you reject.

Maybe you denigrate believers because they have what you desire but don’t have.

Classic “sour grapes.”

efw says it well.

My experience is that God calls to those with open minds and hearts who know they’re deeply flawed and want to know Him.

I’ve met many people who didn’t believe but didn’t NOT believe and who asked God to show Himself to them and none were ignored.

But in the interest of fairness, if you’d prefer to shake your fist or wave your bird at Him instead you’ll also get the answer you seek.

What Wabigoon said a long long time ago when he was here under the screen name Rob Jordan.

I'm not the one who's concerned about who turns up in these threads, or any threads. As that appears to worry you, not me, the sour grapes are yours....but you thought it would be clever to try to turn tables in the hope that nobody would notice.

The fact is, discussion and questiong involves different points of view, so if you don't like that, bad luck.

I'd bet that not all Christians here agree on all points of Christian belief.

That is one side of the coin....the flip side is God killing people for very little reason, gathering sticks on a Sabbath, etc, which is not a demonstration of Love.

Starman can have his say regardless of being on ignore.
. Maybe it just shows a level of intolerance in the poster
who cannot bear to see dissent.

It was a simple question. Why are you a Christian? No point was made for discussion of if there is GOD or not.

Your crew hijacked the thread, as usual.

Start your on thread on whatever you wish. You wont because you wont be able to crap on others.

Try it. See if we believers crap on your thread. Yes, you are the arrogant ones.

You still don't get it. God,in His love, force them to take a day off so they didn't work all the time.
