We don't. We let God determine.

What if there is no god?
I know you are very certain that there is, but your personal experience, inner feelings and stuff like that are not indicative of the existence of any god. They may be indicative to you, yes... but not to me.
This is where our divide happens. Here is where we need to determine which of us is right (if any).
From your side, you may expect god to come through and sort it out on his own...
But from my side, I can't expect such a thing. I merely look at people's psychology and notice a pattern that holds for whatever belief there is. And this gives me the hint that whatever it is that you feel or experience isn't really a god, but rather your own psyche at work, influenced by the environment in which it was brought up.

Matt 7:7-8 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
God, being equal to His Word, would need to honor that, correct? If so, let God determine by His word.
These words were written by men, spoken by a man, potentially that Zedek priest... Why do you say they're from god?
If there was nothing, then you wouldn't get a positive result.
If I say there is an apple on the tree, and you go out and do not see an apple on the tree, then you would conclude the negative. You don't know for sure unless you seek the source. The apple determines itself. If the apple is there, then there you go. If your own bias tells you not to look, that there is no such thing as an apple, or you simply don't care enough to look, then you will never know. I can be part of the solution, but I'm not sufficient to be the answer.
As far as the priest goes, we can go round and round about who it was or is today, but either what that priest said is universal or it isn't. As far as empirically establishing the identity, then I would have to say, respectfully, I wouldn't attempt to at this time.

Very best of luck with that pocaracus.
Getting M4X to be 'Definitive' and exact on things when it comes to the developing pointy end of this discussion more often than not just seems to result in more 'Good feels' type language emerging from M4X.
The comming posts/replies will be interesting/edifying.........
Well I must say I appreciate your sense of humor.
Can't say I fully understand what you mean by "good feels" language, but if you mean trying to keep a positive tone, then it probably has a lot to do with professional background, and working with people who've experience some type of trauma or setback. If you're working with someone who is suicidal or frantic, you gotta be careful with what you say, so you learn to put a positive spin on things. Eventually you've done it so much it becomes habit.
Them - "It's such a horrible day."
Me - "At least the sun is shining. I may even work on my garden today. Do you like gardening?"
If you meant something else, then blaming it on my eyeballs starting to get heavy from staring at the screen.
