I tried to give you a precise answer to an imprecise question so that you would know where I stand. I could have just said yes and mislead you, since obviously I do believe in some things.
Don't trust me, or anyone else for that matter. Try Him for yourself. He's true
How do you know that, Markos? Being dogmatic about it is not helping make your well-intentioned advice credible. It sounds like "you will do it and you will like it." Not very convincing.
Imagine if someone were trying to get you to come to Buddha using your technique? "Just be one with him, pray to him and you will find him." Come on, get real, would you follow that kind of "advice?"
Besides, where are you getting the idea that you can just up and come to God when you are ready? Most of your fellow believers ould aree that faith comes first and that it is God who comes to you, not vice versa. They would say it happnes on God's time, not yours.
oud aree=would agree
I didn’t realize that I had a technique. But the difference is, is that Buddha wouldn’t be there when you got there anyway.
Besides, what’s wrong with being dogmatic?
Would you rather that a witness be spineless and
be blown about by every wind of doctrine?
No. What I mean by “try” is, to put Him to the test, the same way you've been trying me.
“Besides, where are you getting the idea that you can just up and come to God when you are ready.”
“They would say it happens on God's time, not yours.”
“For he saith: In an accepted time have I heard thee; and in the day of salvation have I helped thee:
Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.”
2 Corinthians 6:2 Douay-Rheims Bible
It seems as though God's time is NOW!
