If your 'beliefs' do not relfect the God of the bible not what he has put together for us then what would make you think He would support your broken understanding of Him? If He supported your Broken understanding then He would only have verified the mistakes in theology you have. Sending you further away from who He actually is and closer to who you think God to be.
I am not picking on any one church, but if you look at Christianity as a whole there is one 'main stream group' who has played this senerio out. They have a series of head preists who get to rewrite the bible in their various decrees. now if you take the bible and read it and compare it to this particular religion' core beliefs you will find that some of their core doctrines are not only not in the bible what is in the bible flat our goes against what they say do. Now imagine if God supported them with miricals and all the trim and lace most of you look for (signs and wonders) This would only throw gasoline on the fire and they would freighttrain themselves away from God.
As it is God does not support those who do not know Him as He does for those who do. If you are not being supported, it does not mean God does not exist. It means your specific version of God does not exist. That is why we are told to KNOCK/Persist. Because depending on how hard we want to hold on to our personal version of God will determine on how long we will be knocking.
I don't remember this in Luke 11. Where did you get this from?
"The thread I did once before."
ThE bit about God not supporting ones broken understanding of Him was derived from Christ's parable of the wise and foolish builders, and what Paul said in 1cor 3 9-the end of the chapter.
God does not support religion/houses built on any foundation other than Jesus Christ. Meaning if you do not have an accurate picture of Christ when you build your religious works/faith all that you will accomplish will be destroyed, either as jesus says in the trials of this life or like Paul says in the final judgement.
When you all earnestly ask on faulty foundations, God sends doubt to topple what you have built so when it falls over you will see your foundation is not valid. But rather than keep knocking, so many of you assume that God must not exist, rather than you have built in earnest on a fault foundation.
