I named it that because the picture depicts the separation we have with God. Why is there a separation? Why isn't He speaking in an audible voice to me? Why can't
I see His face? These answers are found in the sin problem and then God's only cure for it.
I liked your message - and ministry, but i think that it doesn't match the title: If God is There Why Can't We See Him. Check to see if you have the right title matched with the right message.
is clear that you can not see God. because it is a spiritual being, if he appeared in a flesh body nobody would believe him, who represented God on earth was Jesus Christ, and you saw what happened to him. God will never appear on earth, he has no direct dealings with humans only through Jesus. 1 Timothy 2:5
How could a being with no knowledge, particularly no knowledge of right and wrong or sin, sin?
If god is all knowing, who knew from the beginning they would sin. Why didn't he create beings who would not sin?
Why is it so costly? Because god MADE it costly, just so he could indulge his blood lust by making a sinless being suffer. He made all the rules. How can you imagine that is love?
How can you believe that we are all sinners because Eve sinned is just?
Rather than me answering these questions, I would rather have you get your answers from the Lord Himself. I know this may sound strange to you but no one can really answer your objections except the Lord. He must teach you or you will never understand.
I know this to be true because I was once an agnostic and thought the Christian viewpoint was ridiculous. (continued)
(continued) I had many questions and objections as you do, and I was never satisfied with the "answers" I got from Christians. One day a teenage girl suggested that I asked the Lord all my questions and she gave me Luke 11:9-13. You can look it up if you really care. No one can teach you my friend. Only God can. And He will. You are a Spirit and God is a Spirit and He teaches by his Spirit. "They will all be taught by God." John 6
You should have been able to figure out from my questions that I am a former believer. I was asking those questions for your edification, not mine. To answer those questions in a way that makes the bible look good, you have to do some painful mental contortions.
If you want to communicate with atheists/agnostics, saying you were once agnostic is not the way to go. It irritates us. I am sure you were an agnostic b/f you were a truth seeker. This is not a two way street....
...Just like being a prosecutor is good training to be a defense attorney, the inverse is not true. As a former Christian, I was a truth seeker, and knew I had found the way. But if you test Christianity, you have to conclude it is a lie. The promises in the bible are empty lies, and are NEVER fulfilled, and it is a delusion to believe it. Furthermore, if you actually study the bible, as I have, the WHOLE bible, it is clear god is not deserving of your devotion.
Remember Jesus said, "You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me,
yet you refuse to come to me to have life." John 5.
I have no doubt that you studied the Scriptures, but I think you are one who missed it because of what He said next.
lol The typical response. You are just plain wrong about me, but you'll never accept that. I believed at least as much as you. That is repeated over and over on yt, some version of "you weren't a true Christian." It is funny. You Christians just believe what what you WANT, not what is REAL, so why should I be surprised at your inability to believe the truth about me.
BTW, you totally copped out with your initial reply. You didn't even try to respond. Those q's weren't unanswerable!
Your questions have answers but like all your questions and objections, they must be answered by God or you will never be satisfied. And that's the way it should be. The reason I know you were never a true Christian is because of Jeremiah 29:13 "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." No one finds Him who doesn't put him first. You should reconsider your past "seekings" and you will find them to be NOT "with all your heart."
"The reason I know you were never a true Christian'"
According to many bibles the only person who can say this statement judging what's in a mans heart is god. So this means you think you are god. Now all Christians cry at this statement and say they are just doing gods work.
This is how I know you aren't a real Christian.
This argument isn't for you but for your readers as religious people are incapable of debate since they think they are god and therefore everything they say is truth.
The Scriptures teach us that someone who is truly "born of God" cannot totally fall away and become a non-christian. The reason is because salvation is totally of God from beginning to end and we would all loose our faith unless God kept us. So it is the grace of God that keeps me saved and not my own power ultimately.
