I am an agnostic. I’m sure that if God exists as you believe, then you are correct in that nothing is too hard for God.

I do believe though, that if there is a God, and He wants me to know this, I will.

“In the higher sense...”it’s all relative””

Very true. Our perception of reality is relative to the operational frequency of consciousness from which we perceive it. We can tune it so low that mole hills appear to us as mountains or we can tune it so high that mountains appear as mole hills.

Prayer and focusing on Loving God is the best way to raise it, thus it was commandment number one from Jesus.

Commandment #2, Loving thy neighbor as thy self is meant for us to find and remove any obstacles to Love that exist within our souls (so we can be cleansed as a child) as these obstacles to Love act as anchors and ballast to hinder our ability to follow Jesus’ commandment #1,”Loving our Father with all!

We will know, and we will be on our knees begging for God’s mercy.

You might, but you still have time to repent.

1 Thessalonians 5:9 — For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

Romans 5:9 — Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.

Your comment: I am an agnostic. I’m sure that if God exists as you believe, then you are correct in that nothing is too hard for God.

I do believe though, that if there is a God, and He wants me to know this, I will.

So we have no responsibility to search for the TRUTH. Why is it God’s duty to inform us? God gave us an ability to think and reason and free will to chose the direction of our lives. We do not have all the answers, but there is obviously a creator, God. To some extent we need to find the One True God, and not follow false gods or no God.

Peace be with you and I hope that you find God’s love and understanding.

I think our responsibility to search for the truth, if it is even desired, is up to the individual.

Why is it God’s duty to inform us?...because He is the one that knows the truth.

If I said I knew the truth, and we were not in agreement, what would you tell me?
