Thank you for your response to my comment about the fellow who concluded God was not omni- because this guy figured that someone that smart should be able to clearly write the Bible so that he could understand it.
To dispel any misunderstanding regarding my stance on whether (1) God is not omni- because some find the Bible difficult to understand, or, (2) God is omni- because he left a record that can be understood or misunderstood based on one’s choice.
I am firmly in category #2; the Bible is divinely inspired and my only guide to salvation.
I failed to be clear on that matter.
Seeing they do not perceive, hearing they do not understand.
Help my unbelief.
I love your depiction of revelation as a veiled woman.
Thank God, yet even on FR, there are some who are atheists or argue as such. I love your depiction of revelation as a veiled woman.
While no analogy is perfect, so that analogy is not perfect, and as Wisdom is personified as a female in Proverbs, so must God in my analogy. Yet the demand (not a seeking request) that God provide what the atheist requires in order for him (most atheists are liberal men, and not married with children) to believe in God, is akin to the man who demands a women provide what his carnal nature wants if he is to believe that she loves him.
Again, seeking prepares the heart for effectual receiving.
