Ah. So you're actually traveling to the recipients of your posts, and hand delivering them?Maybe that’s your problem. I rely upon myself to effectively communicate. I rely on those folks only to get my post from A to B.
Strange. I haven't ever seen you show up at my door. Not once have I ever received a hard copy note from you, face to face.
So, we immediately know that you're lying here.
I'm reading your post, posted on an internet forum, with previously written software, and computing technology developed by others.
I'm having to trust that those parties who did all the work to bring us to the level of technological progress we're presently at actually achieved the goal that allows you to be correctly understood, based solely on your input.
No. You make them responsible for ensuring that what you post is accurately passed along.I rely on others to create the ability for me to post. I don’t make them responsible for what I post.
In effect, making them responsible for your words, and ideas being accurately expressed.
He's responsible for making sure that your expressly stated ideas are accurately moved along from you to me.If I post racist rants on twitter is the guy who coded that platform responsible for my actions?
If I actually make the above statement, but instead of it being stated in the manner I proscribed, it comes out as:
Fkvichxhrmtkfuv ugi fmf iij fycyfje iij duv8buwjwjfubof77vikfjfkif
How would you have any idea of what I'm stating?
So, you are relying heavily upon everyone between you and me to get your message across as you typed it.
Computer designers, keyboard makers, ascii developers, internet protocol makers, ISP companies, wireless carriers, etc.....
Everyone from you to me, and then I am relying heavily upon the same technologies back to you.
The ascii developers have worked through the necessary steps for converting the keystrokes from icons on a screen (in my immediate case, I'm using an android smartphone, which has a digital keyboard), into binary code which, using my keystrokes as an example would state

And back again, on your end from binary to ascii text.
The ascii developers have worked through the necessary steps for converting the keystrokes from icons on a screen (in my immediate case, I'm using an android smartphone, which has a digital keyboard), into binary code which, using my keystrokes as an example would state
The binary language is transmitted through the computer system onto the internet, via internet protocol, and then translated into ascii once it reaches its intended recipients.
He was quite clear about this issue.So I should ignore the apparent non-response from God and not conclude from it that there is no God or that he doesn’t care to make himself known to me?
In the day you seek him with all your heart, in THAT day, he will be found by you.
Humans down throughout history of the past 1988-91 years have had no problem whatsoever with YHVH and Jesus responding to us.
Others who have conflated their own beliefs about Jesus, with the truth about Jesus have missed him, because it wasn't Jesus they actually wanted.
It was their own beliefs of him they wanted.
As a recent meme on Facebook stated....
God is not the way WE say he is.
God is the way He describes himself as in the bible.
People ever since Cain have been changing God into their own ideas, and ignoring what he says about himself.
The serpent just outright lied, and deceived Eve.
After he sowed the seeds of doubt, he sets the hook with-- Has God REALLY said?
By believing him over God, we cannot see clearly.
Throughout history, God has been restoring the truth to the human race.
We read in Jeremiah 1:10,
Jer 1:10 WEB Behold, I have today set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to uproot and to tear down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.”
In the new testament letter to the Corinthian church, Paul describes to us,
2Co 10:3-6 WEB 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we don’t wage war according to the flesh; 4 for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds, 5 throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 6 and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience when your obedience is made full.
So, instead of trying to win arguments, engage YHVH on his terms.
Jesus is quite clear that he will never refuse anyone who comes to him.
And this means.... what?Origin stories are like that.
That the original message didn't happen the way it is stated in the bible?
And your evidence of history not happening the way it's described is?
That is my goal today.So then up until you died would you have “continued in Christ’ teachings”?
I've been astonished by everything that God has done for me over the past 45+ years now.
And while there have been some pretty impressive things, healing my throat of the damage caused by my getting shot, and the cancer, I think that the most profound, yet sublime thing he's done is to change my heart and mind from an angry, bitter person, into someone who has hope, knowing full well that I don't deserve the least bit of his love, and tenderness towards me.
