This what I was getting at. You know it naturally. Yet many people despite knowing this naturally, also believe otherwise.
It is reasonable for a lot of reasons, but none of them require a supposed divine authority.
Quote:Well to me if God exists, he can give us knowledge of anything he wants.
Way to totally disregard the good advice given you. Your presupposition "if gawd exists" begs the question, and everything that you follow with falls because of it. Again you are attempting to sidestep your burden of proof, an end run around your responsibility to support logic with facts. Again you got caught in your own end zone.
Quote:This seems to be a solid premise.
That is not a premise. That is an assertion by fiat. It is also circular reasoning, presupposing your own conclusion.
Quote:Aside from that, if he exists and we are linked to him, it seems possible that we can be aware of this link. Also if the nature of greatness, honour, goodness, all have him as the eternal basis, then I don't see why they wouldn't point to Eternal Basis and Person-hood of God.
All of this the product of your initial question-begging. And all of this simply being made-up as you go along. Patho-logical.
Quote:I think also if we a spirit/soul, then spiritual knowledge, eyes of the soul, is very possible.
Begging the question again. You would have to demonstrate that this "soul/spirit" exists.
Quote:Naturally if God exists, he can create us with knowledge of himself. The knowledge would be based on reality and a link to him.
And this is just hyperbole and word salad.
Quote:If God is like the Sun behind the rays of morality, greatness, honour, why shouldn't we able to perceive him?
And, as has already been pointed out, no one has perceived such a being. If anyone could have, they would have shoswn it to the rest of us.
