How utterly moved I am... It seems like I've always needed someone to look straight me, and say something so honest and biblical, and caring and loving. He said to accept the gift, that it's easy to accept a gift. I will continue pray for this until God has made himself known to me. Prayers are appreciated from you all too!
@FearMonstro you're right on that. My question from this is, if the person has been seeking to believe in jesus for two years, and has gone this far to try and gain some faith, are they not being scrupulous?
@FearMonstro Not having faith (and conversely, having faith) has nothing to do with what you do with your mind or heart (at least initially). Faith is freely given by grace alone, regardless of the agent's actions, according to Piper's Calvinist doctrine.
If you don't have faith, open your mind to Christ and he'll give it to you? But, not having faith in Christ is the exact inablity to open your mind and heart to Christ. His advise is petitio principii, begging the question, a classic fallacy.
Perhaps this person needs to stay in the milk of Gods word a little longer. The depth of your answer to that persons question is deep in the meat of Gods word. Some folks take longer than two years to understand the meat, look at Jesus's followers, three years and still not convinced of His deity.
@jgallete pray for me too.

@Lynnmist your post sounds rather regurgitated

If you have no faith in one path try a new one.
