All of your ridiculous "the word 'see' can also mean this and that" tap dancing was completely unnecessary when it was clear I was asking about the visual spectrum.

(April 22, 2016 at 4:32 pm)Drich Wrote: 2. It depends on how hard your heart is to Him.That's just ludicrous. A "hard heart" has no bearing on things visible in the typical range detectable by human eyes. And you never did answer what the "right direction" is, or the "correct proximity."

How would you identify Him? What if He was not the God of your stereotypes and imaginings? Would you heart be open to change what you think you know of God? Or do you have a singular picture God is "X" and must behave or act a certain way?I have no preconceived notion of what the God you imagine should look like... he stems from your illusions, not mine. You present all these "what if" scenarios, making it very clear that you aren't sure how your own deity actually looks yourself. But I could be operating under a false assumption, so I'll ask directly... Have you seen God with your own eyes? I'm sure you have followed your own advice to "simply Ask Seek and Knock for the Holy Spirit as outlined in Luke 11," haven't you? If so, why can't you tell us exactly what he looks like without all the "what if" bullshit? Is he relatively tall? Short? What color are his eyes? Hair? Skin? Does he appear young or old? Does he even look human? See, I really don't know what your Christian God should look like, but you should if he's literally visible to people like you whose heart is not hardened to him, right? So please give everyone here as thorough a description as you possibly can of how God really appears. Once we have your precise description, we all will know exactly what to look for and there will be no more need for ambiguity, metaphors, or games.
