Take the word "God" out as the subject of your question and insert the word 'truth' or better yet the word evolution.
Now let me ask you why can you teach YEC's evolution?
Because no matter what you say it is from the devil. And if the devil is alive and well then it must mean their version of God is too.
The way God does it now the foolish builders faith gets washed away, (they let go what they believe willingly) placing the with the opportunity to truly seek out God.
Quote:It makes more sense for God to not exist, than for this benevolent being with a will to be in relationship with us to continually deny us the knowledge of his existence unless the planets align, and we are in this perfect state of mind while knowing precisely the nature of God such that our view of Him isn't flawed.
We're only human, after all.
How many times over the years have you made the charge God is not benevolent?
Yet now He is?
Just a fun thought for me.
I don't get the issue you are having. It's not like we have no way of knowing God. It just that we are not born with full knowledge of His knowable glory. We have to humble ourselves to receive this gift. I do not understand why this is such a big issue. Living like this allows those who want to know God the opportunity to do so, and those who do not the opportunity[/quote] to turn a blind eye, and still be able to sleep at night.
