what being apart from the law means.

[Question Mark]

Are you now denying the fact that you said you did not continually knock? That "you could not find the door?"

If you did not know where to knock, then one would ask how could you have knocked? Not to mention you did not even understand what it was to knock till we just now (two or three posts ago) Cleared up the primise of knocking was just repeating the whole process. So I ask again if you did not know what the third step in the process was, then how could you possiable say that you completed every step?

I have no doubt you have very sincerly approached God doing everything a given church told you to do. No question. What I am showing you here is not a given denomination's approach to God. I am showing what Christ Himself said. This is What God the Son said do, IF you want to know God no filter no multiple quote theology. I took what was on page in context and explained it when you asked what was meant. Meaning if you want to know God then you will have to submit yourself and do what He Himself said do.

You said knocking on the door is just looking and searching until you find him? I looked, I searched, and I told you outright I'm not doing it all my life just to get years of silence from a seemingly uncaring god. How am I to know that this is just silence, or if I'm making futile efforts? That's what I said, I haven't changed it.

Unless I misunderstood what you meant by "knocking on the door", I don't see how you can say I didn't do what you said.

Let me put it to you also that I read the bible, I read what Jesus said about it all, the sermon on the mount I think being where he put down this sort of thing. It hasn't worked, and I understand why you as a christian can't accept that, but it's the truth.
