God comes to us where we are and gives us what we need. Whatever that is is neither reason for self-pity or self-glorification.

Why did it take "much less" for God "to get your attention" than it did for God to get Paul's attention?

Because I am not St. Paul. It seems you are saying this is a scale of who is "better". Therefore, if you are not better, in your words, than Paul, please describe your experience - were you blinded and made deaf and dumb as well?

It also seems you are trying to change the subject and develop a personal attack.

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?
