Indeed, our rationality is itself evidence of our subjection to and dependence on God; i.e., His Logos

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.

I do a lot of quoting from the Bible, not because I am trying to "prove" something to you about God - but rather because the words of God are spirit and life. The words of men are neither spirit nor life.

If a person has "ears to hear," he will.

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, [they] are spirit, and [they] are life. - John 6:63

For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. - Hebrews 4:12

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

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

So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. - Romans 10:17

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. – John 5:24

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 Cor 2:13-14

God's Name is I AM.
