You said God is subject neither to logic nor provable evidence.

God is not so subject. But we are, if we're rational. Indeed, our rationality is itself evidence of our subjection to and dependence on God; i.e., His Logos.

I see evidence of God everywhere; but this is not the sort of evidence that can be directly observed and scientifically measured. Which is what you are asking me to provide.

The evidence that I find most persuasive is the seemingly perfect correspondence among God's four revelations: Holy Scripture, the Incarnation of Christ, the world of Creation, and the Holy Spirit with us.

But this is the very sort of evidence which is unacceptable to you. More, it's the very sort of evidence you want most to tear down, disqualify.

So, what do we have to say to each other, really? We can't even get on the same page.

Some folks seem to pretend to be very convincing to the person in their mirror

that they

live in a multiverse

That is your opinion, betty boop, and I respect it but it's not evidence.

If God is not subject to proof then why do Evenagleicals constantly quote form the Bible if not in order to 'prove' something about God? The only problem is the there is no proof the scriptures are what some say they are. They, too, must be accepted as true on nothing more than "good faith." But don't tell me that God is not subject to proof when I see verses being posted daily as 'proof.'

I have no doubt that you earnestly believe in God. I did too. Then, one day, I myself "what is God?" At that moment I realized that I did not know what I believed in.

So, when you say, "what do we have to say to each other, really? We can't even get on the same page" I say it's not about being on the same page; it's about the question.

Thank you oh so very much for your beautiful testimony, dearest sister in Christ!
