I lack the ability to explain God, to those who do not know him.
It is like trying to prove a negative.
How can I provide an answer to what you are not willing to try to understand?
You come at me with the intent to prove me wrong, not to hear witness...
That is totally on you, and not on me, as you are bent on promoting your OWN beliefs, pretending to dialogue, but in all truth, you are being disingenuous, and intellectually dishonest.
You think this dishonesty is what causes you turmoil, and conflict, in your own life, as you can never lie to yourself, only mask it, and it eats at you like a cancer?
You can blame me, politicians, guns, fossil fuel, bigotry, etc, and yet, never see its you who choose their own poison, and wonder why others don't die from it.....
Sorry, I can't help you.
The gate to heaven in small, and I can't even help a loved one through it.....
For in doing so would necessitate me turning my back on God, to help others through, and that would put me in a position of power that I could never, ever, prove worthy of, for I too am nothing but a sinner and would use that to promote myself.
I can witness by loving, and all its associated dictates, but as flesh, I know I will fall way short of that goal....
If not for the Cross, I would be doomed
This man, in this video, explains a very interesting point to/of God.
I recently asked where all the matter comes from.....remember?
See, as a believer I too can't grasp much of what I base my faith on.
My earthly mind can not wrap an understanding around it, to ambiguous, obscure, complex.....
It comes down to a simple fact of faith....
What is faith defined?

: without question took everything he said on faithNot a one of us lack faith.
We use it daily to navigate through life.
Its like saying their are no absolutes, and therefor all things are subjective.
That is folly.
Yes, you can make such a statement, but you can never live according to its understanding, because it does not exist.
Fight it, fight against what you don't understand, is like riding your bike with your eyes closed....
Yes, you absolutely can.
The question remains, what will the outcome be?
Anyway, I am long winded this morning, sorry.....
Watch this short video, I find it remarkable.
