The good news is that your statement acknowledges the existence of God. Sooooo...I humbly encourage you to read the 55th Chapter of Isaiah and pay close attention to verses 8-11. Perhaps there's a greater good God sees and knows that you, I or anyone else does not see or know. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is, of course, not one iota of evidence despite millennia or searching for it.

You are asking for physical evidence of a spiritual world. That seems silly to me. The challenge is to open and expand your awareness to include the spiritual. Of course, you have to be willing to try.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

Thunderbow 1 #12 June 17, 2014 I have had several "bad" things happen to me in my 60 years. Several times I have noticed, "Gee, I would not have been able to help that person through his problem if I hadn't gone through it." Maybe not empirical, but proof enough for me. And I admit that not everyone is able to see the good that comes from their setbacks or maybe they just aren't looking. God is truly a mystery even to us who believe. But I am constantly looking around and I what I can't believe is that all of this "creation" around me just happened. In fact I don't think there is any empirical data for that happening either.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lord, let me be the person my dog thinks I am.

jakee 1,558 #22 June 17, 2014 ThunderbowSeveral times I have noticed, "Gee, I would not have been able to help that person through his problem if I hadn't gone through it." Maybe not empirical, but proof enough for me. I believe they call that a tautology. If the 'purpose' of going through a problem is to help someone else through a problem who can presumably then help someone else through a problem... you could still just not have problems in the first place. What you're describing sounds like God's running some sort of faith based pyramid scheme.Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
