Hey Sass!
Do me a favour please.
When you're in Heaven and I'm in Hell, please ask God why he favoured you with a credulous, undiscerning mind but cursed me with a well-developed faculty of reason and a love and respect for reason and logic.
While you're at it, please ask him why he filled the world with the fruits of reason that he knew would impress me, while you wouldn't notice.
As his WORDS clearly tell you.
King James Bible
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
Proverbs 3King James Version (KJV)
3 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.
8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
9 Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
11 My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction:
12 For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. Would you have asked if you knew the bible or the words of God. It is like chewing small pebbles with your teeth. Which do you think will break first?
Also, why did he then go further out of his way to deceive me by filling the world with false clues, like the geological column and the fossil record?
Man deceives himself. Who created the knowledge of geological column and fossil records?
There is a scientist who teaches why you cannot trust the things you use. Look for truth not for confirmation.
Because confirmation of the independent type for your beliefs cannot be find. MAN MADE.
He knows that something like that leads men of reason to question and even reject religion but it doesn't even faze you. Why did God do this? Especially as he knew it would make his Bible seem untrue and his followers seem deceived to people like me who have been cursed with this damn reasoning faculty. Please ask God why he did this to me but not you.
It is reasoning it is the worst kind of faith you hold... it is blind faith BECAUSE you never see any REAL EVIDENCE to support what you believe that is a 100% fool proof. Some believe the lie because as the scriptures above show. They seek not truth
and God.
And please ask him why I never once saw him. That would have helped me a lot in overcoming this cursed faculty of reasoning.
You have never received 100% fool proof truth that what scientist tell you is anything but theory. It did not stop you believing.
You never sought God and the truth which requires a lot more than being told what to think as the scientist have done with you. Knowing God requires a sincere thirst for true truth and knowledge.
Oh, and tell him that while he may count 1000 years as a day, I count it as 1000 years, and I was the one he asked to make a choice. He was not slow as some count slowness? Who doesn't count "soon" being over 2000 years as slow? Once again, I had to make that decision, not him. So how does it matter how God sees it?
Whilst God is immortal and see the end from the beginning then it would be natural for a 1,000 years and a day to be the same for him. He is the God from the past, the present and future. Time and space cannot hold God.
You could not live a 1,000 years to know the difference. But as you can see the knowledge of who God is and his word reveals why a day and thousand years are the same to him. He has seen all the days from beginning to end and so all the thousands of years. No matter how many, he knows them all. So it tells us what God is like and that he is OMNIPRESENT and omnipotent.
Only man is held by time.
Ask God why he did all of that to me, will you, Sass? Then shout his answer down to me, too, will you? I'll be right next to the Serpent, whose name, in his infinite wisdom and love, he refused to whisper to you.
You did it to yourself. Because instead of listening and seeking truth you want to make yourself as a man appear to be clever to others by ridiculing God and man. But instead today you have been silenced because the truth is Gods wisdom makes those who think themselves wise in this world look foolish.
I’ll try to stop screaming and gnashing my teeth just long enough to hear why God made it so very much harder – impossible, really – for me than for you.
WELL! I THINK YOU NEED TO EXPLAIN WITH EVIDENCE EXACTLY HOW YOU DETERMINED THIS AND SHOW WHAT IT EASIER FOR ME AND HARDER FOR YOU. I am not shouting just did not want you to miss it.
I guess that I shouldn't have trusted my mind, or anything I saw or thought. Whatever it is, I’m sure that we’ll both find his answer just and loving, and maybe laugh a little.
Oh, please make sure to have an eternity of nice days for both of us, alright?
Compare the life of any scientist to the life of Christ. Then tell me why Christ never claimed the Glory for himself?
Tell me why he did all things to Glorify God and not himself.
When a man who is a scientist claims something it is of himself. When Christ did something he claimed it was of God.
What scientist do has never been as great as what Christ acheived. So why did one man who did things science cannot acheive give the Glory to God? And why and how did Christ do those things?
Faith and wisdom in God are more powerful and potent then anything a man and science can procure.
It is nice to laugh and love in truth.
Sadly, I find not gratification or happiness in the thought of others being lost.
