Epicurean Paradox
RE: Epicurean Paradox
(April 10, 2012 at 11:36 am)FallentoReason Wrote: I meant that in the most sincere way!

At the peak of my faith I can tell you, in all honesty, that I never witnessed a miracle. I would always hear about them from other Christians I knew. Even then, those very same Christians would pray for my sicknesses and I would honestly tell them I wasn't healed. My faith meter on max we're talking.. And everyone looking on or involved in prayer would just say 'keep the faith'! Well.. where's the results? Like I said, never experienced or saw any. Only word of mouth is where my evidence for them lies.

Sorry about my rant. Didn't mean to epically derail the discussion but I couldn't resist letting that out....

Not at all it helps me understand the larger picture. For instance you were looking for a God to do something for you, and in exchange you would reward Him with your "faith."

My question is what if God did not want to be worshiped in such a way? What if He did not feel he needed to bargain with you for your obedience? Do you think He would have granted any of your wishes? (No matter what the reason.)
