Jesus told many parables on this. The 10 virgins, the wheat and weeds, the sheep and goats, the wheat and chaff.. all of these parables point to a separation of the followers of God from those who want nothing to do with Him.
Quote: Why only show your interventions through the means of natural events?A natural even does not mean you nor any of us can repeat what was done.
Quote: Which is more likely, that these so-called divine interventions are actually natural events, or it is god's pathetic attempt at getting our attention? If god knew that these scientific processes would come about, why not leave a series of strong evidence that couldn't be refuted of his existence?Why not reveal yourself to the world in a manner that couldn't be denied?What if He did that very thing, but on a personal level. That way those who want to be goats, Weeds, and Chaff have the 'evidence' they need to live their life, and those looking to be sheep, Wheat and Grain have the absolute proof they need to live Under God?
Quote:We know you won't actually think about these questions, but these are the type of questions that go through our heads.:Roflol:
Yeah, never once came across my mind..
Quote:Questions, a rational mind uses to try and figure out if a claim about the supernatural is true or not, since we have no means of actually testing it.You seem to be struggling with the point of the OP. In that God does not have to be supernatural. In fact if God created the natural universe then why would He create it in such a way as to have to move 'supernaturally' through it?
Quote:Your questions are an attempt to solidify your already, practically unshakeable beliefs. You're taking what we know in the natural world, and trying to mold all of these facts around your god belief as best as you can to try to convince yourself that he exists. Nice try.How can you make an assertion like that if you do not understand the OP you are responding to?
