This is THE first time I have ever differed to a song to answer a question, but the person who wrote this song has very strong understanding of the purpose of hardships and trials. Please take the time to click on the link and read the lyrics of this song.
That said know God has no problem answering questions. There has not been a question (mine or any of yours) I have humbly asked God that He has not provide me with an answer to. The reason He was upset with Job was because Job did not asked God questions, He questioned God. Do you understand what I mean here?
Quote:I'm sorry Drich, but this criteria is just insane, not least because I tried it, earnestly,But according to what you told me you didn't. you did things your own way "X" when God instructed you to do "Y." Then when you were fully exposed to "Y" you said that leaves you too vurnable to God. (which is a bit ironic, because you are anyway.)
Quote: and god didn't do anything, but also because the answer is apparently to just try it until it works.It is to 'try' it till you leave your pride at the door and come to the understanding that God is in control (always was) and nothing will happen until you let go, and Let God.
Quote:What if I did it my whole life, and god never, ever answered me?What if God has answered you your whole life and you never took time to listen. Read that quote from 1 corth 1 again (what I ended with in my last post)
Quote:Also I have a nagging quote in my head whenever I think of trying it again: "Insanity is performing the same action over and over again and expecting different results" - A. Einstein.Two question have you looked into how Einstein came up with that little revelation? and did it make him change course?
Quote:Thanks for being direct about it though, it's nice to get some straightforward answers.answers are meaningless, unless you take the information provided and apply it to your life.

There is nothing to tell or rather nothing I can say. I am living it. What I can offer is that you have an oppertunity to live it yourself. To see it for yourself.
