Of course you can. That's why it's a cop-out.
Quote:To knock as outlined in Luke 11 means to knock and continue to do so beyond all doubt and reason.
Doubles as a perfect description of insanity.
Quote:Look at the man in the parable again. Look at the time of night he was knocking. this man knocked in a time where there should have been no reasonable expectation to receive anything from his neighbor. yet he kept on knocking.
a/s/k until you get an answer, you decide to believe you have been given an answer, or you die waiting. Either way, it's the petitioner's fault if he never gets one. Obvious fucking cop-out.
Quote:With you guys you point to your time growing up in the church as a time spent knocking even though you were just going to church because your parent dragged you there. That's not knocking thats just being dragged to church.
When I sought God, it was as an adult and mostly on my own initiative. I was indifferent to religion as a child.

No of course not. His list is a simple list of requirements that one must meet in order to have an audience with him.
Explain the distinction between God's list of requirements and God's laws.
