Why knocking is so important.

The problem I have with this is that you really have to assume there is a god AND that you have the proper instructions. 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.

I'm suggesting that if your method of looking will turn up a number of very different contradictory gods, it's a bad method, that confirms what your were seeking, whatever it was that you were seeking. As it confirms anything you look for, it's simply a method of self delusion.

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.

Sorry, a lifetime of looking is not remotely reasonable. If someone told me to look for an elephant in my house and a day's looking didn't turn up an elephant I'd stop. Any sensible person would.

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?

There's plenty of evidence marriageable men exist and none that god does.

If I had been looking for unicorns, I have given up long before 30.

]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.

Thanks, but no. I've found a sense of morality, no god required. What is a "spiritual hippy sense of morality" and why would anyone want it?

And no it's not like looking for your car keys. The keys exist and you need them. God doesn't and I don't need him.
