To explain knowledge of God

[Drich]

It is indeed begging the question, to wit: you're citing the Bible's recipe to find god, when it is the veracity of that evil book that is in question. Also, if you have to believe in god in order to see him, then you're requiring presupposition.

i gave you an oppertunity to correct your self now it's my turn. We start with a proper definition.

The fallacy of petitio principii, or "begging the question", is committed "when a proposition which requires proof is assumed without proof".
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Begs_the_question

The 'proposition' is a method in which proof is obtained.
Again it is a receip. If one follows the receip then one gets what the receip provides, if one does not follow the receip then one can not expect to receive what the receip provides.
So no question begging here, just a strait forward question. Did you (yes or no) A/S/k as outlined in Luke 11?

So your god isn't even smart enough to figure out that he'd get more followers if he actually showed up every so often ... why should I worship a dingbat like that?

What makes you think it's about volume? In your search for a wife are you looking to marry every man woman and child on the planet? Or is there just one who meets the criteria you are looking for?

Jesus uses this analogy in several places. The 'one' He is looking for is the Church.

No other religion has their God interact with the common man. Only Prophets and emisarries have that right even in OT judisim.

It looks like Adam, Eve, Moses, Noah, and a host of others didn't get that memo.

Cherry-picking run amok, uprooting entire trees.

its like talking to a box of rocks...

Are you not familiar with the term 'common man?'

None of the above are considered to be common. They were all set apart from the common men of their time.

Research it honestly, Test your voice and Odin. If Odin full fills everything he has promised, then follow him till he fails you. Then move on to the next.

I did exactly as you said for your Jesus character. He failed. So I moved on.

So?

Or are you telling me this so we can re-examine what it is you 'did for me jesus character?'[/quote]

It is to prove to ourselves whether or not we would seek to serve God or if we seek God to serve us.

Incompetence. How about people who are interested in neither?

Do you want to serve God?

If your answer is not yes then it's no.. For all those who answer no directly or by default, you will be happy to know God has a plan for you, so you do not have to serve Him for eternity.
