Now that I think about it, I believe you simply linked to this same post from another forum.
Drich Wrote:To answer your question. I have said (because of this 'dream/vision') that God will not reveal himself to those who do not seek Him. This was the result of me Ask, Seeking, and Kicking down the door (over and over and over again) with an arrogant challenge that God show Himself to me. I was very angery for a very long time, and appearently God saw something worth saving.
I do not suggest this route to anyone who does not NEED it. Simply Ask, Seek and Knock as decribe in Luke 11 and the door will be opened.
Yes, but you've always said that the reason god doesn't show himself is because people will worship him out of self-preservation. Are you worshipping him out of self-preservation? If the answer is no, which I assume it is, then your premise of why god won't show himself is flawed. Clearly, the only thing you can resort to is special pleading in your own case, which you have done by saying "appearantly[sic] God saw something worth saving."
