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."
Special pleading only applies if their is a logical inconsistancy being explained by special circumstance. This is not the case here. We are told (I can give you scripture if you like) that all of us can only see or accept God if He calls us. He will only call us if their is something worth saving. The fact that you have not been able to see God to this point does not mean you haven't been called. For not all that are called answer that call.
Oh and to answer Why i serve God?
Because of the fleeting second where i got to feel the love and completeness of being apart of the creation community i was designed to be apart of. To feel the whole complete Love of God. Or rather what it would have been like if i had been deemed a good and faithful servant. uphoria does not even come close to describe the completness God offers. In short I want to be able to go home, at the end of all of this. I can not even imagine having to live in all consuming torment when I knew what boundless love would be like.
