Blue Like Jazz (Don Miller) is Theology for Penguins

pure ignorance (you not don)
besides, just chill we are all christians and that should be good enough

And that gift can only be given by God, but the Bible clearly teaches human response (or as it appears to humans).

I am absolutely heartbroken at AndrewcBain's actions and desire. The Pharisees were the ones in the Gospels who knew all about God, but their hearts were far from him. He has truly missed the heart of the Gospel.

There is a difference between faith by works and human responsibility. Calvin himself said this in his Institutes that the gospel can be summed up two words: "repentance and forgiveness." He goes on to explain the human responsibility of turning to God (2 Cor. 5:20). Faith is a gift.

Your taking quotes from his book out of context to make it meet your agenda.
Have you read his whole book?

Do you ever have any uncertainty in your life at all?
because of our fallen nature we are going to have times of uncertainty.

why are you looking to start an argument and create division amongst Christians?

God calls us to be united as well!

kind of a strange summary of what the book said. i mean i don't think the book is theologically significant. but you are dishonest in your summarization of what he says. if you had a real point you wouldn't need to do that.

Don Miller is an amazing man doing amazing things for God. It is truly a shame and, I believe, one of the biggest tactics of the devil when believers spend more time trying to discredit and undermine other believers than they do trying to show Christ to non-believers.

lol i just finished blue like jazz like 10 min ago, loved it!!

i love donald miller's book. i don't think it's really productive to take his words out of context. i resonated with his 'inner radar' metaphor because the same thing happened with me.

It makes me so sad how misleading this could be to someone seeking God. First of all, Miller uses terms like "maybe" and "seems" because he is being honest and is not arrogant enough that he would claim like you sir to know exactly what God wants. Someone who has no doubts is either a liar or is not human. Having a relationship with God IS relational. Weird, huh? We ARE all born with a radar that seeks God. Please do not just pick and choose which passages you like and ignore the others.

Miller means that we have a desire to believe in some higher being, because God placed that feeling, that desire, in us at birth.
