I have repeatedly asked you to list the steps. This is the kind of dodge you reply with. I am as confidendt that you know the steops to Jesus as I am confident that you have empirical evidence for Jesus.
Ok. So you've read the bible twice. You've attended a variety of different churches and prayed for revelation, but you don't actually have any verses which would give you the basis for the 3 actions you engaged in..
I have stated my experience, and I have explained what the bible says, but you have repeatedly ignored me, and instead demanded something you refer to as empirical evidence, but when questioned about it, you have this further vague description.
Those 3 activities you engaged in... were they before or after we began talking about it?
You cannot just keep stalling and waving your arms. At some point you have to show us the Ferrari or admit you do not have one.
I already told you... I've never had a Ferrari. I do however have YHVH, who has me inscribed on the palm of his hand. Isaiah 49:16.
And that time is long, long past
So you have nothing else to base your 3 endeavors on?
This is clearly a problem.
Have you ever attended college? Do you know what the nature of learning consists of?
Jesus said in John 8,
If you continue in my teachings, you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.
Now, without getting into a long drawn out pretzel twisting description of interpretation, etc....
If you were in a college class and the professor said that if you follow the instructions I give you, you will know the truth about this topic and that will give you freedom.....
What would be your thinking about it?
Why? You are the Christian teaching me. Just list the steps for me so I can see what I missed.
The goal is quite simple....
As I said before to Pixie, in my college classes, my professors would typically give a quiz to get a clearer perspective on what we actually know about the topic of the course we're taking.
So, I'm seeking to get a better understanding of your views, and understanding.
Is that a problem for you?
Don't you know the steps?
Yep.
I want to know what the basis of the steps you used are.
You stated that you read the bible twice, attended numerous other churches and prayed for revelation.
This would give me the impression that you had a source for which you got the idea that those 3 things would result in you getting revelatory knowledge of YHVH and Jesus.
I did them. If I missed any then it is really weird that you will not explain them to me.
And what did you base what you did on?
Did a pastor tell you what you needed to do? Did you read in the bible these things are what you need to do? Where did you get those 3 activities from?
Ok - and....done.
I have no idea what Jesus said then - I got it wrong - care to correct me?
So you didn't actually read the bible?
What's going on here?
You're running around in circles with this.
Or just keep telling me to do vague things so you never really commit to anything?
I'm trying to get a better understanding of what you think was supposed to happen and why you chose 3 particular activities.
I'm not going to restate the same things over and over and over......again when you've previously established that you don't want to do so... apparently because you think that something tragic or deadly is going to happen to you.
I'm not clear about that last part either.
Both are interesting from a psychological point of view.
Why, are you a degreed psychologist, in a clinical practice?
Or is that something designed to make me think you should be trusted, in spite of your repeatedly made statements that you are clueless?
You mean by my repeated requests for evidence?
No - I want to see yours.
You have to come visit me to see my evidence.
And as I recall, you gave me an address to an insurance company office in DC, but never gave me an actual name I should request when I got there.
You refuse to tell me what Jesus said.
You keep telling me that you have read the bible twice, so you already know what he said.
It's all contained in the bible.
Either you also do not know or you do not want to help me find God.
All you need to do is change your mind about YHVH, Jesus, and believe him.
The bible is quite clear...
Repent and believe the gospel.
Whosoever shall call on his name shall be saved.
Believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and you shall be saved.
It's been right in front of you the entire time.
Again, both of those are interesting.
The problem is you have made claims of supernatural knowledge you cannot prove.
The irony is that I actually have a basis for YHVH having made himself known to me.
The only way for you to get this knowledge is to turn to YHVH from your sin and place your trust in Jesus Christ.
And he will make himself knowable to you.
It's been this way since the beginning.
I found very old, 1980's GI Joe cartoons on YouTube and I am loving it.
Ok. Thank you.
I grew up watching the old looney tunes and hanna barbera cartoons from the 30's through the 60's.
Best cartoons ever!
