saying that as long as you believe you will continue to believe could be a tautology. Does it concern you that it makes belief beliefs own cause? That it does not require a first mover to set it in motion? A self re-enforcing closed loop system.
Concern me? Not terribly. I can't even question Yahweh's existence in good conscience.
Again, if Yahweh exists, this kind of invincible revelation is His only possible way of reliably leading us (aside from robotically controlling us). Therefore, mostly it's more comforting than "concerning" as it seems to strongly suggest veracity.
But yes, all of us should be a little concerned about everything - we should take all our beliefs only tentatively - at least until we reach 100% certainty.
I only have about 90% certainty about Yahweh's existence. I want to rise to the level of prophethood experiencing Yahweh's revelations at 100% certainty.
So to some small extent: yes, the revelation will remain slightly "concerning" at least until I apprehend it at 100% certainty.
