Drich Wrote:False analogy. There is no time given in the instructions. He says "wait at McDonalds". He never shows up, and you leave. You are then told that either it was the wrong McDonalds (which was never specified) or that you didn't wait long enough (even though you waited for hours). This person refuses to say which McDonalds it is and when they will be there. To top it all off, you have never even met the person and you are just being told this from an anonymous source.Darkstar Wrote:What? You aren't even trying to contact our Noodly Savior!?!If someone tell you to meet them at the libary at 2:30 and you decide to wait for them at Mcdonalds at 3:00 Is it a resonable to expect to see them at McDonalds at 3:00? Further more is it their fault because you can not follow instructions.
Drich Wrote:Again, it is not about trying harder. It is about following simply instructions. If you are not expected to Follow the directions of the God of the Universe, then why is it you expect the God of all Creation to do what you expect? Again who are you to will your authority over another man let alone the Lord of Creation.God obviously doesn't want me to believe in him. If he did, he would just will it to happen. Literally no effort for someone omnipotent.
Drich Wrote:In EVERY single instance of people 'trying' to reach out to God their own admitted efforts did not follow what was laid out by Christ himself in Luke 11. Granted what I hear often times follows the doctrine of a major denomination of Christianity, but in the end still does not follow what the bible tells us.Wrong McDonalds, huh? Ask, seek, knock is little more than a vaguely worded metaphor. How are we supposed to know what it means literally? It is deliberatley vague so anyone can just say
So again if God tells you to do A and you do it your way instead or the catholic way or the Baptist way, instead of doing "A" as God instructed. Is God to blame?
you're doing it wrong" if someone doesn't "find" god.
