You often tell people that god doesn't show himself, because that would take away our free will to choose him out of love. You then say that any belief in him would be out of self-preservation.
So, why did god show himself to you, and how can you claim that your belief in him isn't simply self-preservation? How can sit there and tell other people that god doesn't prove himself when he clearly did for you?
I wasn't sure if i posted that here or on the .com site. i did a seach and did not see it. Thanks and sorry for the rehash.
To answer your question. I have said (because of this 'dream/vision') that God will not reveal himself to those who do not seek Him. This was the result of me Ask, Seeking, and Kicking down the door (over and over and over again) with an arrogant challenge that God show Himself to me. I was very angery for a very long time, and appearently God saw something worth saving.
I do not suggest this route to anyone who does not NEED it. Simply Ask, Seek and Knock as decribe in Luke 11 and the door will be opened.
