Correct. I do not believe these claims. Noone has ever given me a reason to.
Quote:Until you yield to God, you will not have the capacity to see the evidence, even though the universe and everything in it was created by God.
How can I yield to something that I don’t believe exists? Why would you even say that to me if you know I’m not convinced that god exists in the first place? Why should I care what anyone has to say about a thing that I don’t even believe is real? Would you care to hear me yammer on about the details of the invisible, fire-breathing dragon in my garage if I don’t provide you with any evidence or reason to believe it exists at all?
Quote:The reason people avaoid the knowledge of God is because they know that they will have to give up their idols. They cannot see reconciliation happening.
So, rather than ask me why I don’t believe, you’re just going to assume your own reasons (or whatever your cult tells you is the real reason) and project them onto me? Talking to you is like talking to a robot. Did they give you a script?
This is the way it works.
You have to believe to see the evidence and you have to have faith to believe.
If you have those, you don't need evidence.
It's an excuse for the lack of evidence.
The same way you'll only hear from "god" is if you believe and have faith. And if you don't hear it's because you don't belueve hard enough or have enough faith.
It's just empty claims and excuses.
