But what about the guy next door who is filled with doubts and cannot bring himself to believe? God clearly didn't "give him what he needs."
Get it?
I'm not "developing a personal attack." I am quoting you verbatim and asking you about the words you posted.
DR.E: God threw (Paul) to the ground, caused him to tremble and then blinded him.
D-FENDR: It took much less to get my attention.
So I'll ask you again because I find your comment to be most curious. Why did it take "much less" for God "to get your attention" than it did for God to get Paul's attention?
I think we would need a new aphorism for your reality:
You can bring a horse to water, but if he doesn't drink, you didn't give him enough water.
Either that or he has free will.
Get it?
That man doesn't have free will? How do you "get" something that you can see is false a hundred times a day?
Why did it take "much less" for God "to get your attention" than it did for God to get Paul's attention?
Why wasn't I thrown from a horse and blinded?.. I'm guessing because I'm not St. Paul and all that infers? I'm not drawing any relative merit from it one way or the other. It takes what it takes. Why do you think?
Now, if I follow your point here, it's important to you what it takes - and it must have taken more than being struck blind for you, in order for your sense of measure to be satisfied. So, please describe your experience for illustration.
