I mean what gives? back when these marvelous works of fiction were inspired by god. He was leading people around with clouds and fire and turning others into salt. I mean shouldn't that click in your mind? Thomas was with Jesus and witnessed the miracles and still doubted he came back from the dead. Do they expect our faith to be bigger than that? Oh wait, I sound like I may be on the fence about this. I put as much stock in this as Jack and the BeanstalkChrist even when He walked amongst us allowed for doubt and disbelief. The passage where He identifies the unforgivable sin in the book of Matthew is proof of that. For even in the mist of all of the healings and miricals the Pharisees were allowed to doubt and disbelieve. They knew what He was doing to be genuine otherwise they would have called Him on it. So rather than accept who He claimed to be, they tried to say His miricals were of the Devil rather than accept Him as God.
So again even if you saw God, it does not mean you will accept Him. If you do not have the capacity to seek the proof God offers now, then you will not accepted if it is packaged a different way.
