How can you not see that?Their are many "uninhabited" houses that people knock at. I myself made that point. That was the point of continuing the asking and seeking.
Imagine you come across a door to a house which has nothing to suggest it is inhabited, or has anything in it at all - why would you bother knocking on it?
Quote:You saying "it worked for me" is a personal testimony which seems to be your entire evidence for this whole illogical process.
So if you were single and I told you to keep trying to find 'the one,' and I used my experience as a guid line for the direction I gave you, this to you would be an illogical process? If I pointed to all the other happily married people and tell you many if not all of them had to let go their idea of this fantasy of the perfect mate and accept the reality of who their partner really was. Is This to you is also an "illogical process?"

People go looking for Allah and the truth of the Book of Mormon in just the way you instruct and some of them find god---just a rather different one then yours.and you assume I am teach that it is not possible to find God through any other religion. If one keeps A/S/K-ing they will find God. Even if they are born in a cult or anti God of the bible house hold.
Quote:Actually you can go looking as per instructions and not find. Been there, done that.actually you haven't. Not according to the instructions provided in Luke 11. The moment you stopped looking and could actively use the pass tense "I did do..." You can not claim you followed the instructions of luke 11. As the instructions of luke 11 as one knocking till he gets what he is asking/seeking for.
Quote:But, the more important question is why should we go looking?If you are not married by the time you are 29 do you give up? Why would you keep looking?
Quote:And have you put Krishna to the test? My guess is you have not.So?
My path did not take into krishna's camp before I found God. It did take me to buddha's Allah's and a general spiritual hippy sense of morality. It's like looking for your keys. Once you find them you stop looking. If however you wish that I help you explore krishna's claim on deity I can study it with you.[/quote]
