To explain knowledge of God

[Drich]

There is no blueprint. There is a vague and useless platitude that can be interpreted in any way to both validate a person's experience or dismiss it just as easily, as Drich has done time and again. How is it that you guys don't see it?

Not blueprint. OUT LINE. We do not see it as empty because we followed the outline as per Luke 11 and found God!

What Are you talking about? Saul of Tarsus did everything he knew to do to seek out and serve God.

Paul was participating in the persecution and murder of early Christians.

Why did Paul do what he did? Because He loved God with everything he had and though what he was doing was right per his understanding of OT law.

For A/S/K to work in his case, the only thing required for it to work is sincerity, even in the face of horrible acts being committed by the person in question.

Again our acts have no intrinsic value in God's economy in of themselves. (It's not what we do it's why we are doing it that makes all the difference in the world.)

This is a perfect example of a self-serving explanation: if anyone of us points out that we were sincere in our efforts to serve god, you will find some way to dismiss them, even though Paul gets a pass for "doing everything he knew to seek out and serve god" when doing so included jailing and killing true believers.

Paul was seeking out God in his worship, and when God corrected him he changed with the correction. You all earnestly seek out God and when God moves to correct, you turn on Him because He is not granting your wishes.. Or He let something bad happen to you so as to get your attention, and rather than stop and turn to seek Him on his terms you all seem to turn on a 'God you can not respect or love.'

God literally blinded Paul to get his attention. what did paul do did he turn on God or did he turn to Him?

Everyone here has some big physical or emotional 'blinding event' happen in their lives, what did you do when that happened?

(look at your stated 'religious views'[/quote] under your avatars if you are confused.)

Why would god create us as slaves that need to seek him? Is he really that egotistic that he needs to be reassured by willing supplicants of how great he is?

Seriously?

Was God to create a race of equals?
