as the secret service approached, this entity asked one agent to place his hand onto the entity’s shoulder which the agent did thus making the entity to disappear. later, in the briefing, the agent said the shoulder garment felt ‘velvety’, anything else you noticed? ‘yes, as we approached this thing, there was an aroma of fruit, the closer we got the more pungent it become, much like orange blossoms’.
actually God reveals himself:
through nature --- for since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen.
through a person’s conscience - the spirit, or mind. the sense of right and wrong testifies.
scripture is the His revelation.
through the person of Jesus Christ.
Nature is proof of nature. That is the only thing it is proof of. If you want to talk about trees being proof of a god, I can pull up a list of deities that have power over plant life and claim they all must exist.
My conscience is only proof of empathy. It is proof that I am a feeling person. Did god create a conscience within me that caused me to leave christianty because things within the bible don't sit well with my conscience?
