Even if you have “ears to hear” you are still guessing. I can give you drugs to hear and see all kinds of things. Christianity is a minority religion. You would be just as good a Muslim if you had been born in Kuwait.

Not at all. God is not a hypothesis. He lives. I've known Him personally for about a half century.

Those who do not have "ears to hear" cannot hear Him. Those who do have "ears to hear" and who have been reborn in Him, know Him quite personally.

Why do ye not understand my speech? [even] because ye cannot hear my word. – John 8:43

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: - John 10:27

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. – Romans 8:9

Those who do not have "ears to hear" cannot understand:

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned. - I Corinthians 2:12-13

To God be the glory!

Did you ever read Francis Schaefer’s

The God Who Is There?

If no God Almighty were there . . . one set of contingencies.

Given that God Almighty IS THERE and here and everywhere, as David said . . .

THAT makes ALL the difference.

His BEING, HIS WORD are the ultimate reality. All else is being brought into alignment with His Being, His Word . . . or suffering the consequences . . . which is also coming into alignment with His Being, His Word.

Christianity is a MINORITY religion? Would you care to explain that, please?
