No, our relationship with God is not diminished because we can't see Him physically. The spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children og God, Romans 8:16. The problem is that, "the natural man receiveth not the things of the spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them" 1 corinthians 2:14. What a spiritul man see in nature, the natural man, (a man without the spirit of God), would not see.
My relationship with God is based somewhat empirical, I came to know God base on revelations of himself that was personal, yet he was not seen physically. one does not have to see God first to know that He exist. There are, as I said, revelations of God in nature, both externally and internally. The human body itself speaks of an almighty God, and not the result of a cllision-big-bang-theory. There are forces in the human body that man is beginning to tap. There are things in nature that confuses the brightest minds of this world, both individually and collectively. To have been made of such stature, makes me feel divine. There is no chimp in my DNA. The only nature other than that of the human, as far as I'm concern, as far as I permit, is that of the divine.
“Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.”
Today, could be a day of change for you. Don’t miss the opportunity to get it right in your life.
If you decided to repent of your sins and receive Christ today, welcome to God's family.
Stop claiming you are talking to your invisible friend and that others should join your insanity.
Your god is a homicidal maniac.
'And this is the test by which men are judged/condemned, that the light has come to the world (Jesus), and men did love the darkness rather than-more than the light, for their works/deeds were evil; John 3:19
http://www.biblegateway.com/resources/c … Came-World
Jesus is the light of the world and in order to receive and understand the things of God one must accept Jesus as their Lord for direct access to God.God made a way for us to be able to come before him without blame or condemnation.
If we choose to deny this than we have decided to chose death away from God. If we don't and won't realize we have sinned and need a redeemer than we surely are deceived just as eve in the garden when she believed that sinning against God would not kill her.
We must come into fellowship with God in order to have our livelihood sustained- or sin which causes destruction will destroy us.
So God will lead and guide us if we seek him honestly.
If we don't run away when we get hurt or confused and seek God for wisdom. No one said it would be easy- no one said you need to be perfect, you just need to accept the God who loves you and wants to take you to your true home- in the meantime we must work the works of God and tell the world that Jesus is still healing, delivering and setting people free everyday. No matter how much the enemy gets his lies to us- we must cling to God.
We must not abandon God when the whole world seems to be growing cold & darker. This is a time of great need to seek God for your family and life. God wants to protect us from the enemy and all that is coming.
Only those who heed to the voice of God can be lead into safety. God can not protect us if we are opening the door with sins on top sins- we do reap what we sow- but the mercy of God is never ending with Jesus. If we sow to our spirit we will reap of the spirit of God, or we can sow to the flesh and how it drives us away from God and live and die in the sin- the rejection of God, the rejection of his mercy, forgiveness, restoration, cleansing.
Be gone fundamentalist in the name of logic, common sense and decency. (the trinity)
That is what faith is all about; believing in something sight unseen. If you have a dream you are pursuing, that is faith in something sight unseen. So, if we have faith to pursue dreams, we can have faith and have a relationship with a God we cannot see. It all comes down to the particular person involved. It they truly believe and have faith they will have a relationship with God, whatever image they ha;ve of God.
Matthew 7:13,14 "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it."
Yep - that gate has reason written over it, you and your companion sheeple are the fools who think you can crawl through the big gate. If there were such a thing a a god it is not imagineable that it would want people to willingly make themselves stupid by constantly banging their heads on word they do not understand.
If you can't see God, you are just looking the wrong way.
If you see god you have your eyes severely crossed ! That glorious pink blob you half see and foolishly worship is yourself.
Are you okay? You seem confused. You have about a half million stupid comments on forums, four hubs, and a cryptic line of bull that translates into scam. Mamby Pamby Panda. Get busy with your mind or go back to chewing bamboo. I don't waste time with traitors.
@recommend1, stop thinking; you have overloaded your mental capacity.
WARNING...WARNING...OVERLOAD...OVERLOAD...OVERLOAD...IMPLOSION HAS OCCURRED!!!
I don't know how can you think your way through a day. You're truly amazing, O Foolish one!!! LOL

What do you do when you realize you married a jerk?What do you do when you marry the "perfect" person and after the "new" wears off, you realize he/she is a jerk? Is it for better or worse or run for the door?

Is it good to obey God if you only want a reward in the end?People may believe the gospel only because of the promised reward at the end. Is that enough to be qualified as good?

I read something a while back about how intuition evolved to get us out of dangerous situation and that if you are using it for anything else you are more likely wrong. I then noticed people in these forums say that they just KNOW God is real and that no amount of reason will prove anything...

So I met up with a couple of friends last weekend and we started talking about the subject line. These are girls from my childhood whom I haven't seen in a while. One of these friends had an arranged marriage recently ... and when I say "arranged marriage" I mean it in the literal sense...

This is something I always wondered to know about. How does a woman (from your personal point of view) perceive a 'man to man' relationship?There are two contrasting statements which I heard and liked to:The first one is:"Anything that comes with love should be accepted"And the second one...

I just saw picture of someone holding a sign that said in essence, "Bombing for peace is like having sex for virginity." But the word used for sex was another word, you get the idea....I think that at first glance, this might make great sense to many people. However, does it...
